Take Me Somewhere Nice

Summary:

After losing his lover, Kinn results to finding comfort and closure through texting the disused mobile number.

However, when the number gets assigned to a new phone, and subsequently a new user, this all changes. Kinn has to learn to find his comfort through someone else; even if it’s the stranger at the end of the phone.

Notes:

bit ridiculous that im starting another stupid fic while all my WIPs r staring me down
also the fact that ive wanted to write a texting fic since like 2016 but never did it until now?? for some fucking reason?

anyways idk how long ill keep this going but i was bored so i bashed this out in an afternoon

Chapter 1: 01/01/22 - 6/06/22

Thinking of you. (03:23)

 

02-2824294

(03:25) Just checking, who is this??? 555

 

02-3050192

Apologies. (04:10)

This used to be the number of someone close to me. (04:11)

It would seem that the number has passed on now so I won’t disturb you any longer. (04:11)

 

02-2824294

(04:12) ahhh ok dw! u can still use this number to talk to them if u want n i won’t reply 

 

02-3050192

Honestly it’s probably best I move on, I appreciate the thought though. Thanks. (04:12)

 

02-2824294

(04:13) nonononoooo 

(04:14) moving on from losing someone is silly 

 

02-3050192

 What is that supposed to mean? (04:14) 

 

02-2824294

(04:20) Well, i've lost a few people close to me and i’d rather not forget them or move on from them, yk? 

(04:20) I like to think I carry em with me 

 

02-3050192

Yeah I suppose some can think like that, It’s certainly best for everyone if i move on from this and prioritise. (04:20)

 

02-2824294

(04:23) ur allowed to prioritise other things n still care about people you’ve lost, it’s human nature.

(04:51) helloooooo 

 

02-3050192

 Sorry, I didn’t realise you were expecting a response. (04:52)
