Ashton
we’ll have to test that theory, sometime
There’s an almost forty-five minute delay between his message and Link's response, and Ashton never does gather up the guts to ask whether he’s gone too far.
Link
;)
That’s all he gets in reply, and Ashton falls asleep wondering what the hell awinky face emojiis supposed to mean.
?
Ashton
do you have hobbies, Link? besides your writing? that is more of a career, I suppose.
Link
it’s fun, though
Link
tattooing is fun, too. sometimes i just draw for the hell of it… or get one of Sam’s goofball friends to let me ink something stupid. It’s just like.
Link
my dad kind of always taught me that art should be purposeful, not just for kicks, so maybe I don’t hobby it up as much as i should.
Ashton
I can’t imagine that I would be a professional artist of any kind with that mentality. I have to create for fun to be able to create for work
Link
dude, yes
Ashton
we should create something solely for fun together, sometime.
Link
i’ve been meaning to paint the walls of my room.
Ashton
say less
?
Link
just to put it out there, you don’t have to answer any of these random texts, if you’re busy
Ashton
oh? but then how will you know i’m not ghosting you in advance of our actual appointment?
