for your work?

( she’s just a bit confused what he meant by that—

he did say he worked for poseidon line but the details were vague. she should have paid more attention. still his next text distracted her completely. )

that’s so sweet keith, I feel so safe and warm in your arms. I miss it too…

okay I’m definitely going to push for a month off work after this tour.

Can you do that? Will it be a problem for you to take that much time away? I would hate for you to have trouble with your band! You're doing so well, and you deserve all the attention you've been getting.

I haven't taken more than a week off since we got big, almost five years now. besides I'm not the only one in a relationship in the band you know? I'm sure someone else wants to see their partner.

as for that....the only person's attention I want is yours. is that selfish? you'll have to forgive me.

You've been working very hard! I didn't realise! It must be hard on you all. So I'm glad you and your bandmates will get to enjoy some time off!

Ah, I don't think it's selfish? I feel very selfish for wanting your attention when I know you have many fans who would also love to hear from you. But I think I don't mind being selfish in this case. As long as I'm not causing problems for you and your work.

( she didn’t have the heart to tell him how little she actually cared about her job and how much of a burden it was to her at this point. he seemed so proud of her and she didn’t want to let him down. so she simply kept things light, opting to focus on them. )

of course not, it’s healthy for me to take time off. besides I’ll just work on writing new material for the next album, that should cover the time away.

besides I miss you, and I want to spend time with you when I can, since I can’t fly to you and all.

[Given how much Keith loved his work, it was hard to imagine she didn't feel the same - why keep doing something that didn't make her happy? As much as he knew, some people did stay in jobs they didn't care for.]

That's true. It's important to rest. Very important!

I miss you too and can't wait to see you again! Until then, I can plan things for us to do while you're here!

( despite that brief emotional lull, he was far too kind to her. it was enough to keep her happily distracted from all of her troubles and gave her something to look forward to. )

sounds like a lot of fun, even if we just end up at home cuddling and not doing anything too crazy, I’d be happy with that.

well I have to get going for practice, I’ll talk to you later okay? ♡

( but before leaving, she sent him a selfie of herself with her hair pulled back in an elegant bun, wearing a bodysuit and a cape around her shoulders. it was a bit silly but she wanted to show him she was clearly focused on making this distance thing work. )

Have a good practise! I will talk to you later yes!

[He grinned at the picture, sending back a ❤️ and a picture of himself with an arm around each of the Johns, all three grinning broadly at the camera. He liked getting those pictures and seeing what she was doing, surely she felt the same and so would be happy to see he had indeed shared the picture of her costume as promised.]
