Augh, so he's one of those guys. They're as bad as the people who get puppies for Christmas only to return them when they grow up.

[IMMEDIATE DISAPPROVAL. KILL THE MAN]

I wouldn't blame him, those types of cellos are usually only bought by professionals. I'd never give one to a new learner.

If Fugo is interested in learning the cello, I should still have my student one from college in storage. It was just $500, so it's a lot less intimidating than the Helmut.

[noblerise]

[Holy shit, Elliot....]

I am merely warning you now that I will keep the majority of the conversation to myself. However, I'll hold no such restraint if it happens again. I'm an attorney, not his personal accountant.

I'm more than willing to trade instruments, and I'm certain Fugo would be grateful as well. I can get it prepared for transport to your home, but I'd feel better if you could come over to help me make absolutely certain.

[The benefits to being from a stupid rich family is having no fear in handling expensive items, as long as he's confident in handling them carefully.]

[fiddlestick]

I understand. You can do what you like with him, though I admit I kinda wanna give him a piece of my mind...

[He'll hold back for now, but if Zhongli does this again with music he's a dead man]

Thank you for the offer, but please DON'T touch it. I'll come over once I have the proper preparations in place and take care of everything, okay?

You haven't taken it out of the case have you?

[noblerise]

If it's with an instrument, I'll set up a meeting. I doubt I could do the dressing down justice like you could.

[He's just being honest. Still... Holy shit, Elliot. Jusis is being reminded of all the ways he's gay right now, damn.]

Of course, and no I haven't taken it out of its case. I wasn't quite sure what to do with it other than take it indoors.

[fiddlestick]

Eheh, thanks Jusis. I can't stop all his spending habits, but I'll set him straight about how one treats music.

[...The rest you're on your own. But hey]

Good. Make sure it stays in the case and none of the kids touch it.

Rean, do you mind helping me clear out a space and cleaning the back of the station wagon?

[motiv8]

Of course. I'll get right on it as soon as I'm out of class, OK?

[Rean knows better than to get in the way of Elliot and his music. The speed at which these things are getting cleaned once he's home will make record books.]

[noblerise]

I appreciate it.

[Although, it might have to be Elliot who stops Jusis from using a glass flute as a murder weapon before giving it to the redhead. Gently used, just don't question why there's a little bit of blood on it.]

It won't be touched, I promise you that. I'm currently organizing the warranty paperwork it came with and double-checking that it's all in order.

[The benefits of having a lawyer for a friend!]

[fiddlestick]

Thanks, honey! I love you, you're the best.

[Yeah he knows he can count on rean to take this seriously. You've been trained well]

Jusis, that's great to hear! You can expect us sometime in the evening. Okay?

[noblerise]

[Aww, they're so sweet.]

I'll have tea prepared if you want to chat for a moment before taking it with you. It's the least I can do for you helping fix this.

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, I'd never turn down some of your tea!

And hey, don't worry about it! If anything, I'm a little starstruck by the idea of getting to meet a Helmut Illner cello in person! I hope she likes me.

[switchaxe]

are you personifying a cello???

[fiddlestick]

Of course. What? People do it with cars and boats all the time!

[switchaxe]

yeah and I wonder why people do that all the time too

anyway why would the cello be a she if you're gonna have your hands all over it?

[noblerise]

Ashley Cabbott.

[That's a dad voice if ever there was one from Jusis.]

[switchaxe]

[Shit.]

Look you put me in this group chat!

[Rean would never be able to say this out loud, so:]

Yes, but don't you talk to your mother with that mouth

[ELLIOT CALLED HIMSELF THE MOM IT'S FINE,]

[switchaxe]

[Someone dropped his phone.]

[motiv8]

Elliot, every instrument you've ever touched loves you. I'm sure she will, too.

[Rean, that's gay. You're gay.]

[noblerise]

I'm inclined to agree with Rean's assessment.

[That's okay, Jusis will be gay with you, Rean.]

[fiddlestick]

Awww, thanks guys! I hope that's true. I've never actually dealt with an instrument this high class though.

Then again, I managed to befriend Jusis, so maybe it'll be just fine!

[noblerise]

[Thank God this is text or else Jusis might be blushing again. He's totally not, for the record!!!!!]

I think she has higher class than I do, but you'll treat her like she should be: an instrument to be played and handled with love.

[switchaxe]

ok did I miss where all THREE of you started dating or some shit?

[noblerise]

[Hahahahaha....

✔️ Read]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, we're not!

Though I can't say I'm entirely opposed to the idea....

[noblerise]

[Jusis... has no fucking idea how to respond to that so he's just leaving this on read, too. He has a lot of confusing feelings right now and not all of them good. This is a conversation that the blond needs to have with both Elliot and Rean in person, but he's... also not in a good spot emotionally to really, truly think about it. As much as he wants to say yes, he doesn't feel like he deserves any of it when it means that these two men, who he cares about deeply, will have to deal with his paternal family.

Not to mention, that moment before in the music classroom with Elliot... that's still haunting him a bit. How easily he thought, for a few seconds, that the redhead would take away his support and care for Jusis. And the same could happen if he saw Rean angry.

He's not ready for it. Not yet. He can't do that to Rean and Elliot. Jusis doesn't want to hurt either of them, and right now he's so fragile that he's scared that the fragments of his breaking heart will hurt the two of them. So, he... distances himself from this conversation. A topic to revisit another day, if that's even possible.]
