Hey, so this is Chris!

Athena give me your number, I hope you don't mind?


[ You changed (xxx) xxx-xxxx's contact to Chris. ]


Artemis

Oh hey!

Of course I don't mind! I was actually hoping to get your number at my parents' place but I completely forgot!

Chris

Same here. I completely got distracted by your son screaming 'Is that Captain America?' across the yard

Still can't believe the intensity of his glare 

Artemis

What can I say? He's a really big fan of Tony Stark

It took hours to calm him down after End Game

Ellie is more of a Thor fan

Chris

I'll let you know when Hemsworth and I meet up next

Maybe I can arrange something for her

Artemis

You're going to become her favorite if you do that

Chris

Who's your favorite then?

If Caleb's is Tony, Ellie's is Thor, and Harrison's is, presumably, Banner, then who is yours?

Artemis

Ah, I've always been a big Steve Rogers fan

Though I might be biased. You see, I used to be engaged to the actor

Chris

Really?

Can't imagine that was any fun. Heard the dude snores like crazy!

Artemis

Only when he was over-exhausted. Otherwise, I'd say he was an acceptable bed partner

Chris

'Bed partner' makes it sound weird, but I don't know why

Artemis

Sleep Buddy?

Cuddle Friend?

Uh... Fiancé?

Chris

Those are definitely better

I must say, you were the best 'sleep buddy' I've ever had

Dodger never stays the night

Artemis

I feel you there

If it isn't Pippin coming and going at all hours of the night, it's one of the kids kicking me in the back

Chris

Random question but would it be weird for me to propose to you again after being apart for ten years simply because I want a cuddle friend that won't leave me at two a.m. to go stare at the wall downstairs?

Artemis

It'd be a little weird but I'd probably be inclined to accept because all of my cuddle friends are... the Worst

Except for Caleb, because while he kicks, he also always apologises, even if he's asleep

Chris

Damn, I can't take you away from Caleb

I'll try again in another ten years

Artemis

Good idea
