[ attached is a very tacky bathroom mirror selfie of nicky and joe: joe with one arm wrapped around nicky from behind, nicky's arms resting lightly overtop joe's, hands linked, tee shirt bunched between their fingers; joe is leant over nicky's shoulder, kissing his cheek and, even from the side view of his grin smooshed against nicky's cheek, looking just completely besotted, it's honestly gross and they should be stopped. if nicky's cheeks are tinged pink it is clearly because joe accosted him after his shower and he's still overheated. ]

Sometimes you just don't wanna make a whole meal at 2 in the morning.

[ghiro]

That's why it's important to keep fruit and nuts around.
They didn't just appear, I had to forage for them or run to the market.

So you didn't turn your insides out with the hot cheetos or what passes for two-minute noodles.

[oiorpata]

I know how to forage, Nicky, but the food just arrives in space. It's great.

You know I hate hyper capitalist unnecessary innovation as much as the next person, but the world is a better place with hot cheetos in it.

[ghiro]

Do you? It has been a while. Maybe you forgot?

The only thing in a "hot" cheeto is still somehow just cheeto which is none of the food groups.

[oiorpata]

I'm literally one of the people who taught you how to do it and expand your berry horizons, asshole.

Food groups change all the time. I'll invent one for cheetos if need be.

[ghiro]

did you?
I don't recall.

it's cardboard. you can call them starch, if you must.

[oiorpata]

Well, it wasn't Joe, so that leaves you with two other options.

I'll take it. Starch is good for you.

[ghiro]

Gathering in the wilds, perhaps, you took my skills from ordinary to extraordinary and I thank you for that.

I still won't ever reduce myself to eating a hot cheeto.

[oiorpata]

Finally, the gratitude.

More for me, but I still say you're missing out.

[ghiro]

Missing out, by choice.

[oiorpata]

A bad choice.
