[Yesterday at 3:32pm]

Summary:

a selection of DMs sent and received by Jack von Pyroscythe, first year student at the University of Oakhurst, in the last 24 hours

Notes:

my evil modern au is finally real! there were a couple of tumblr posts about this floating around a while back and the concept posessed me
I admit I put thought into every single timestamp of this thing

vonPyro [Yesterday at 5:01pm]
Of course 


Goldsmith 🌈 [Yesterday at 5:03pm]
you seemed uncomfortable at the meetup today
is there anything wrong?
I know this is all kinda new to you so if there’s anything I can do just lmk ❤️

vonPyro [Yesterday at 5:08pm]
I’m fine
Just a little nervous

vonPyro [Yesterday at 5:14pm]
How much do you remember from after the party? 

Goldsmith 🌈 [Yesterday at 5:16pm]
ohhhh is that what this is?
dw I’m not hung up on it
it can be casual if that’s all u want 

vonPyro [Yesterday at 5:18pm]
I was kinda drunk [edited]

Goldsmith 🌈 [Yesterday at 5:19pm]
you weren’t that drunk
managed to make it pretty clear what you were after at the time
I know you’re still working things out but u don’t need to pull “it’s not gay if I’m tipsy” on me lol
this isn’t highschool I’m not gonna tell people we’re dating now or anything 

vonPyro [Yesterday at 5:20pm]
Sorry 

Goldsmith 🌈 [Yesterday at 5:21pm]
honestly I'm used to it
no hard feelings ❤️


vonPyro [Yesterday at 5:25pm]
Can't say rn
Library at 10am tomorrow?

doc.legundo [Yesterday at 5:25pm]
I'll be there


vonPyro [2:33am]
If you’d just join properly I’m sure he’d back off
You don’t have to tell your friends

applekuna [2:33am]
You want me to spend even more time around him?
Look, if it’s your best option it’s your best option, but I’m not going to trap myself in a box with scott goldsmith twice a week.

vonPyro [2:35am]
And your friends are better? 
I’ve heard the jokes they make

applekuna [2:36am]
God, you sound just like him
They don’t know about me and they don’t need to  
You shouldn’t know either
Nobody was meant to

vonPyro [2:38]
I didn’t ask 
Owen just sort of. Announced it? Last week 
At the meeting

applekuna [2:43]
Oh yeah cause hanging out with people who do that is way better 
I still don't know why I told him
He was just talking about this guy he knew and I guess I thought I had a shot at a bonding moment
Why are you even still going?

vonPyro [2:43am]
I can’t just leave the club
Can you imagine how that would look?

applekuna [2:44am]
You mean how goldsmith would make it look.

vonPyro [2:44am]
What’s the difference? 
It looks however he wants it to, you know that. 

applekuna [2:46am]
Christ
At least stop sleeping with him 

vonPyro [2:46am]
It was once
And I’m never getting that drunk again  
I don’t even remember anything after I asked him and Owen to walk me home haha [edited]

applekuna [2:46am]
Oh shit
Sorry 

vonPyro [2:47am]
It’s fine
I mean I did basically invite him back to my place

vonPyro [2:52am]
I should go to bed

applekuna [2:54am]
Goodnight 

vonPyro [2:50am]
Gn


Goldsmith 🌈 [11:37am]
I think cleo’s still mad at you for breaking her nose on sunday 
they’re calling you pathetic again 
ty for defending my honour btw ❤️

vonPyro [12:23pm]
I didn’t mean to break her nose [edited]
I’ve tried to apologise they don’t want to hear it
I can try again if you think I should
I really didn’t mean to 

Goldsmith 🌈 [12:29pm]
it’s fine lol 
she’ll get over it
maybe 
see you in the library at 3?

vonPyro [12:31pm]
Is anyone else coming?

Goldsmith 🌈 [12:32pm]
are you gonna pretend ur busy if I say no? 

vonPyro [12:32pm]
Just wondering haha 

Goldsmith 🌈 [12:33pm]
I mean if you’d rather go hang out with sausage and martyn and them again I’m not going to stop you
I just wish you weren’t avoiding me so much
one night doesn’t have to mean you’re gay if you don’t want it to

vonPyro [12:34pm]
I’m not avoiding you 
I’ll be there

Goldsmith 🌈 [12:37pm]
shelby+owen will be too
just making sure u still like me ❤️
I mean after what u were implying to legundo earlier I got kinda worried

vonPyro [12:39pm]
??

Goldsmith 🌈 [12:39pm]
you do know I use the library too right?
postgrads still need to study

vonPyro [12:41pm]
I'm so sorry
I don't know why I was talking about it like that
I've been overthinking things

Goldsmith 🌈 [12:43pm]
it was just really upsetting to hear 
like, you can have your crisis as long as you need to but you don't need to make me sound bad 
I have a reputation to uphold, y'know?

vonPyro [12:43pm]
I didn't know you were there 
Not that I meant to go behind your back I just wanted to talk through my thoughts [edited]
I think I've sorted it out now
I won't do it again

vonPyro [12:56pm]
I'm so sorry
I just don't really remember everything that clearly so I got stressed about it and I figured he might be able to help me work out what happened [edited]

Goldsmith 🌈 [1:21pm]
I've literally told you what happened
so has owen
it's alright, I'll get over it 
just don't say things about people you wouldn't want them to hear next time

vonPyro [1:22pm]
I'm sorry


applekuna [3:14pm]
I told martyn 

vonPyro [3:14pm] 
Oh!! 
Did he take it okay?

applekuna [3:14pm] 
And he told. I think quite possibly every other person alive 
So ig it’s not just your friends who do that 

vonPyro [3:16pm]
I’ll admit I’m fighting the urge to say I told you so
At least none of my friends care 

applekuna [3:18pm]
I guess so
Where are you?

applekuna [3:31pm]
I don’t feel safe on my own rn

vonPyro [3:31pm]
I’m in the library 
Scott’s here

applekuna [3:32pm]
Fuck
Omw
