jesper fahey: haha um?

jesper fahey: if this is some weird way to catch me cheating i promise i haven’t talked to him in like seven months

jesper fahey: and it was only a one time thing like i’m not even into him anymore

 

wylan van eck: oh i know that

wylan van eck: sorry i didn’t mean to stress you out

wylan van eck: it’s just that he blocked me and i need to swear at him, so if you could please ask him to unblock me

 

jesper fahey: oh

jesper fahey: i don’t think he’ll listen to me but i know a guy

 

wylan van eck: is it kaz brekker

[KESPER (KAZ JESPER)]

jesper fahey, kaz brekker

 

jesper fahey: kaz we need to talk

 

kaz brekker: if you insist.

 

jesper fahey: i do

jesper fahey: look i’m sorry for what i said about the whole investments thing, i know you and inej made up about it and stuff so that comment was uncalled for

jesper fahey: i just. sometimes it feels like you only care about us when it’s useful to you

jesper fahey: and you know i would do anything for you! like i actually killed someone just because you asked me to, and i would probably do it again. hell, you could tell me to throw myself off a cliff and i would almost definitely do it with little to no hesitation because i know you wouldn't let me die

jesper fahey: so maybe if you could just like. ask me for help. instead of tricking me into it. that would be much appreciated

 

kaz brekker: ok.

 

jesper fahey: ok!

jesper fahey: listen. now i need a favor

jesper fahey: u know of a kuwei yul-bo?

kaz brekker: i am going to murder you.

 

jesper fahey: no you won’t <3

 

kaz brekker: no, i won’t.

 

wylan van eck: anyway. hi everyone, i’m wylan van eck, jesper’s fiance! it’s nice to meet you all, i’ve heard so much about you

 

nina zenik: us too

nina zenik: you seem… too nice and cool to be getting married to jesper. there’s gotta be a catch here.

nina zenik: which one of you proposed?

 

wylan van eck: jesper did. we finished stealing a goat and he turned to me and said “what if i asked you to get married right now”

wylan van eck: and i said “well let’s drop the goat off at home first and then we’ll see”

wylan van eck: but by then the farmer was running after us so we just kind of fled and as we were sprinting away jes goes "i'm thinking a summer wedding" and then i knew he was the one

 

kaz brekker: "jes"?

 

nina zenik: THAT'S what you're hung up on?

nina zenik: wylan baby you deserve so much better omg

 

jesper fahey: wow wtf

 

wylan van eck: thank you but i disagree

wylan van eck: although tbf you were spot on with the goose thing

wylan van eck: so maybe you’re right

 

nina zenik: i am always right

nina zenik: that is something you’ll have to get used to

 

 

[Private Chat]

inej ghafa, kaz brekker

 

kaz brekker: should i be calling jesper “jes”?

 

inej ghafa: what

 

kaz brekker: you call him jes.

kaz brekker: nina calls him jes.

kaz brekker: wylan calls him jes.

kaz brekker: even matthias probably calls him jes.

kaz brekker: should i?

 

inej ghafa: if you feel like it, for sure! :-)

 

kaz brekker: yes but will jesper think it’s weird?

 

inej ghafa: jesper will be over the moon, i guarantee you

 

kaz brekker: k.

 

 

[Crows!!]

kaz brekker, inej ghafa, jesper fahey, nina zenik, matthias helvar, wylan van eck

 

kaz brekker: wylan. 

kaz brekker: if you hurt jes, i will not hesitate to come after you with everything i've got. brick by brick. you've undoubtedly heard what i did to pekka rollins, but if i hear even a whisper about jes being upset, i will tear you limb from limb and make your mother watch. you enjoy music, don't you? i seem to remember a particular affinity for that saints forsaken flute. and i can't help but wonder how one would play the flute without a tongue.

 

wylan van eck: ok.

wylan van eck: counterpoint: if YOU hurt jes i will snap you in half like a goddamn ironing board.

 

kaz brekker: agreed.

 

 

[Private Chat]

inej ghafa, kaz brekker

 

inej ghafa: not exactly what i meant.

 

 

[baddest bitches]

inej ghafa, jesper fahey

 

jesper fahey: HE CALLED ME JES <33

jesper fahey: IM SOBBING OMG

 

inej ghafa: oh my god

 

jesper fahey: this is wylan with jesper’s phone. he is, in fact, sobbing

 

inej ghafa: for saints’ sake

inej ghafa: tell him this:

inej ghafa: if i didn’t know better, i’d say you were still in love with kaz

 

jesper fahey: he was in love with kaz??

jesper fahey: lmaoo

 

inej ghafa: i mean.

 

jesper fahey: holy shit

jesper fahey: im giving jes his phone back, we need to have this conversation one to one

 

inej ghafa: ur not my marriage counselor, wylan

 

 

[what the fuck, inej]

wylan van eck

 

wylan added inej ghafa

 

wylan van eck: what the fuck, inej

 

inej ghafa: again, i reiterate: ur not my marriage counselor, wylan

 

wylan van eck: no but im the next best thing

wylan van eck: inej. really?

wylan van eck: HIM??

wylan van eck: god i can see JES falling for him because it’s jes and he’s. yknow

 

inej ghafa: yeah,,,

 

wylan van eck: but you?

wylan van eck: inej, you have common sense. you have THE MOST common sense out of all of us. you are the least likely to die in a horrific, self-instigated accident.

wylan van eck: so why the hell have you fallen for kaz brekker?

 

inej ghafa: GOD i dont know

inej ghafa: listen i desperately didn’t want to. i tried so hard not to like him. SO HARD. he was mean and cruel and i sort of found him off putting at first? but deep, deep inside of him there is a good man trying to break through and i see that.

inej ghafa: and now i can’t unsee it

inej ghafa: so yeah. im fucked

inej ghafa: im hopelessly in love with him

 

wylan van eck: jesus christ

wylan van eck: ok i give you permission or whatever to like kaz brekker but i AM judging you silently. i need you to know that.

 

inej ghafa: trust me i am also judging me silently.

 

wylan van eck: jesper 🤝you

wylan van eck: having absolutely dogshit taste in men

 

inej ghafa: wylan,,, jes is marrying you,,,,

 

wylan van eck: i said what i said

 

inej ghafa: we need to work on your self esteem bb

 

wylan van eck: no thanks

wylan van eck: that sounds like an emotional minefield and i am a-ok as is

wylan van eck: anyway jes is asleep on me and my arm is sklowly but surely falling asleep so i;ll talkj to you later

 

inej ghafa: give him a kiss goodnight for me :)

 

wylan van eck: wipl do boss
