jesper fahey: i need help

 

kaz brekker: ok. can it wait until morning or do i need to kill someone right now.

kaz brekker: inej says she can be to your location in ten minutes, less if she travels illegally.

kaz brekker: are you in imminent danger?

 

jesper fahey: it’s not that i don’t appreciate your ride-or-die tendencies, kaz, but that is not the kind of help i need atm

jesper fahey: wait. how does inej know my location

jesper fahey: do you have me tracked??

 

kaz brekker: if that’s not the help you need why are you even contacting me

 

jesper fahey: UM??

jesper fahey: maybe bc you’re my friend and i like updating you on my life???

jesper fahey: maybe bc i don’t HAVE any other friends???

 

inej ghafa: what about anika? isn’t she your friend?

 

jesper fahey: i guess she’s cool but she’s like 12

kaz brekker: yeah that’s my plan.

 

jesper fahey: sobbing on the floor rn

jesper fahey: a decade of friendship and for what

jesper fahey: honestly this is grounds for a divorce.

 

kaz brekker: that was once and we already had it annulled.

 

inej ghafa: excuse me???

 

jesper fahey: YEAH AGAINST MY WILL.

jesper fahey: i wanted to be kaz brekker's househusband and spend all your money but YOU made that impossible. so. who's the real monster there

 

kaz brekker: it was for a mission and i regret it now

 

jesper fahey: damn. :(

 

inej ghafa: you made jesper sad!!!

inej ghafa: apologize.

 

kaz brekker: GOD. fine. i'm sorry, jesper

 

jesper fahey: oh it's ok wylan already agreed to marry me and raise milo together so im fine

 

kaz brekker: ok.

 

inej ghafa: wow.

inej ghafa: so, unlike kaz, i will not be glossing over that sentence. 1) wylan van eck, th sole heir of the van eck fortune, the guy who blew up two entire buildings, is your new husband.

 

jesper fahey: i mean yeah, we're going ring shopping tomorrow but we are engaged

 

inej ghafa: i hate that i can't tell whether or not you're kidding

inej ghafa: but anyway. 2) who is milo. did you already adopt a child together??

 

jesper fahey: milo is the GOAT. obviously. god

jesper fahey: and i am being 100% serious.

jesper fahey: see i'll prove it

 

jesper fahey added wylan van eck

 

jesper fahey: they don't believe you agreed to marry me.

jesper fahey: protect my honor, sweet cheeks

 

wylan van eck: ok

wylan van eck: me and jesper are getting married

wylan van eck: idk who you guys are but you're invited to the wedding i guess

 

jesper fahey: this is kaz and inej!! they used to be my friends :)

 

inej ghafa: bitch we are still your friends

inej ghafa: well. i am. i dont know if kaz was really ever your friend

 

kaz brekker: keep in mind that for thirty minutes yesterday i was entirely willing to kill a man for you.

 

jesper fahey: kaz you would kill a man just for fun. don't pretend like you weren't just using me as an excuse.

 

kaz brekker: did it ever cross your mind that maybe i was worried for you?

 

jesper fahey: oh, worried about losing another one of your investments, were you?

 

inej ghafa: HAH

inej ghafa: lmaoo

 

kaz brekker left the chat

 

inej ghafa: LMAOO

inej ghafa: IM SCREA.KNG

inej ghafa: YOU REALLY WENT THERE OH MY GOD

 

jesper fahey: was that maybe a little too harsh?

 

inej ghafa: jesper babe that was not too harsh

inej ghafa: kaz can be an asshole sometimes.

 

jesper fahey: sometimes????

 

inej ghafa: ok. a lot.

inej ghafa: and i know he's been through some shit. which makes us wanna be like "oh thats just kaz, i need to stop being such a baby. he's been through so much, i need to cut him some slack."

inej ghafa: which, like, yes!! kaz is strong and he's been through a lotta shit that we couldnt even really begin to comprehend!! it's important that we take care of him.

inej ghafa: but that's just giving some explanation. its not an excuse. so if he hurts you, its ok to call him out!! its ok to tell him that you wont put up with shit. like that doesnt make you a terrible person, yknow?

inej ghafa: sorry, that probably doesnt make any sense haha

 

jesper fahey: DONT YOU DARE APOLOGIZE IM CRYING

jesper fahey: inej i actually love you so much oh my god

jesper fahey: i just. i've been his best friend for literally 11 years!! thats a long time! and he still pretends not to know me at school, and he doesn't really interact with me unless he needs me for something.

jesper fahey: so its a wee bit upsetting

 

inej ghafa: jesper that is so valid

inej ghafa: YOU are so valid

inej ghafa: i love you and you are so so brave. <3

 

jesper fahey: <3

wylan van eck: i have known him for literally two months. so no.

 

kaz brekker: but you know him well enough to accept his marriage proposal, which is good enough for me.

kaz brekker: i need help.

kaz brekker: i think i upset him.

 

wylan van eck: oh, you THINK?

wylan van eck: you've been his friend for a long time. figure it out yourself, asshole.

wylan van eck: and don't talk to him until you're ready to apologize.

 

kaz brekker: he frustrates me. he KNOWS he has problems, and yet he refuses to seek help for them. why?

 

wylan van eck: we are not friends, kaz brekker.

wylan van eck: i'm not going to help you.
