it's us (that made this mess)

Summary:

this is much ado about nothing, but with two separate group chats that include the word “scheming”.

Notes:

i got the idea for this from learning that you can actually format stuff like this on here! this is (another thing) for day four — i picked the “roommates” theme, again. title is from “animal” by neon trees. modern AU, sylvain and felix have never met but both of them know dimitri and ingrid.

a couple things:
1. i definitely recommend reading this with the author skin. humongous shoutout to codenamecarrot and la_temperanza on here whose "how to make iOS text messages on AO3" was excellent and all failures with implementation are mine, not theirs.
2. there are a shitton of emojis in here, and they're all apple. sorry. :(
3. felix absolutely would not have an iphone, of course, but for pure narrative cohesion he does.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

SYLVAIN'S PHONE

ingrid thee stallion

hey ingrid do you have the $10 bucks you owe me for the pizza last week

just kidding oh goddess can you imagine if i actually expected you to pay me back for shit

if you say “bucks” do you need the dollar sign

what

what did you actually want

do you know if dimitri is seeing anybody

...

don't you two live together

yeah

so can't you just ask him

not yet

??

the guy's still here

SYLVAIN

what guy on the goddess

DEDUE?!?!?

no ugh that's why i was wondering

wtf okay

what are they doing

idk they're in the living room

i'm in my room because i got scared

it is not like you at all to have that kind of social grace

um it may have been a little more basely motivated

the guy is hot 🥺

...

🤷🏻

...

sorry that's why i was asking

what kind of hot?

huh?

like what type is he? pretend i give a single shit about how hot a guy is for a second

uh… small dark and handsome

but also this weird vibe that he might kill me idk how to explain it

oh goddess

it's felix

yeah that's what dimitri said! do you know him?

🗡

😟

INGRID'S PHONE

Dorothea

you are not gonna believe this

Ugh, spill babe. I need something exciting today.

Ferdie has been making me crazy this week thinking co-director means equal authority.

ugh he's stupid

I know! Not like you, my smart and beautiful angel. 🥰❤️

Now tell me what I'm not going to believe!

Aside from how lucky I am to be with someone like you.

😳😊🥰

anyways you know my friend dimitri

the blond guy

How could I forget the bolognese incident? I remember him.

oh man i forgot that one

they all blend together

Like the sauce definitely did NOT blend with his shirt when he 🤮. Poor baby.

in many ways yes he is

anyways (again)

sylvain says he brought a guy home

WHAT?!?!

yeah

he says it's felix

...not Dedue?

🙄

Who's Felix again?

the rude one who never wears anything but athleisure

Hmm. Not ringing a bell. Has he ever barfed up bolognese and tequila?

he would NEVER

i feel like if felix ever threw up it would just be like… a fully formed rock

anyway i feel like i want to step in, dimitri doesn’t need another emotionally damaging hookup you know?

I really don’t know, but what I do know is that these guys never listen to you, Ingrid. So maybe don’t waste your breath and let them make their dumb mistakes.

but then they come crying to me about it afterwards and i hate that

better to scold now maybe

I know someone who would be much more attentive to a scolding from you… 😉😘

😳🥵

see you later

you're right i shouldn't get involved

wh*re

i told dorothea i'm not getting involved

so this definitely isn’t me telling you to just ask dimitri about it if you’re curious

and it really for sure is certainly not me being worried that dimitri cannot handle someone like felix

🤐🤫

love ya ingy

SYLVAIN'S PHONE

brown hair tinder

you are a good girlfriend to ingrid you know that?

Why does that woman never listen to me?

…at least if she insists on putting herself out there for you fools keep me in the loop.

deal

do you know this guy btw?

dorothea?

Unless he's covered himself in regurgitated pasta sauce I don't remember any of you.

i never did that

man that was disgusting thanks for reminding me 🤢

You're a special case, Sylvain. Self-recognition in the other, if you will.

Hold on, I'll ask Ingrid to show me a picture.

if you've all hung out with this dude how the hell do i not know him it's weirding me out

...hmm.

I can see why you're interested.

And I don't know - Ingrid says he's not really social.

wow an endorsement from ms. dorothea 😜 dimitri is a lucky guy

or he would be

if he would just ask dedue out

And on that I am fully on your side. Sure I’ve never met him but Dimitri is all about him.

ingrid thee stallion

so???

?

hello did you ask dimitri yet?

oh right yeah no i didn't

it's been like three days i'm losing it here

you could ask him

i told dorothea i wouldn't get involved

plus again you live together

just ask

👯

^that's dimitri and me now

👺💀

^that's dimitri and me if i bother him about his personal life

where is dedue when you need him

i don't wanna bother him with this tbh 😕

he actually likes dimitri right so like i don’t wanna rub this in his face if this felix guy is for real

it's so weird that you two don't know each other have i mentioned that

but yeah i get what you're saying

...

...

...unless

unless?

unless this is perfect because "this felix guy" is just dimitri's friend

oh boy call me claude because i am scheming

are you single 😍

shut up i'm gonna run this by annette and then i'll get back to you

if you scheme without me i will end our friendship

not kidding

scorched earth

ugh fine i'll make a group chat

ANNETTE'S PHONE

schemin 👹👼😈

Ingrid 😊
i'm muting the group if you don't stop

Sylvain 😊
ingy you made the group

INGY 🥰😍 so cute omg

Ingrid 😊
is it not enough for one person to sling that indignity at me

annette is felix seeing anyone right now

😳🤯 whatttt is he seeing someone?

did you see him with someone???

ASHE??!?

Sylvain 😊
who's ashe

how do you all know each other being this much older is brutal

Ingrid 😊
nah not ashe

doesn't he have his hands full with that couple already?

Sylvain 😊
WHO IS ASHE

ohhhh you're right i'm silly

i'll just ask him hold on!

Ingrid 😊
see sylvain?

you can just ask

Sylvain 😊
i am asking right now who the fuck ashe is and we all see how well that’s going

Felix 😊

heyyy felix!

wdyw

aside from a translation guide for your acronyms? 😇

...

ugh okay don't be mad but i want to ask you something!

it's nothing big i was just curious

just wondering

you know

are you like

seeing anyone?

🙈

schemin 👹👼😈

guys i think he blocked me 🥺

Ingrid 😊
he'd never do that to you

Sylvain 😊
someone block you? neverrrrr

maybe i'm barking up the wrong tree

Ingrid 😊
...

🤦

wait

i thought this was about dimitri

Sylvain 😊
oops

omg SYLVAIN

do you like felix????

Sylvain 😊
i literally barely know him! calm down

he's been to our apartment like twice

Ingrid 😊
which is in fairness more times than you’ve ever seen another person you wanna bone

oooo get him girl

Sylvain 😊
woof

he is hot though

call me a pokemon because i am looking for the trade

Ingrid 😊
i'm blocking you

Felix 😊

no

🙀

SYLVAIN'S PHONE

schemin 👹👼😈

carly rae jr
HE SAID NO

sorry for no context lol felix said he's not seeing anyone

DEDUE TIME

carly rae jr
and felix time 😉

dedue first then i'll smash

or whatever

ingrid thee stallion

hey sylvain

hey ms galatea

this is kind of weird for me to say maybe

but if you do smash felix

can you be like... cool about it?

you're both my friends, and dimitri's friends

and i care about you guys

and i'll end you if you ruin anything

cross my heart and hope to die

love you ingrid

😊

schemin 👹👼😈

carly rae jr
gross!!!!!

but i wanna see dimitri and dedue happy so what are we doing

hello?!? don't leave me all alone!

ingrid thee stallion
sorry sorry here's my plan

it's going to be amazing i know it

carly rae jr
yes ingrid!!!

ingrid thee stallion
sylvain is going to get felix's number from dimitri

okay i already see a problem

carly rae jr
do we really think he'll give it to him?

wow annette like i agree but you don't have to say it 😢

carly rae jr
sorryyyy

ingrid thee stallion
she's right so you'll have to ask exactly the right way

but dimitri has to know you’re talking to him otherwise it’ll end up weird i just Feel It

okay so then what

ingrid thee stallion
so here's the thing

dimitri is so oblivious

and dedue is like SO respectful about it

and like mad in love

carly rae jr
yeah that too

ingrid thee stallion
okay but my point stands

anyway they will each need a silent hand to guide them to each other, pulling the strings

a friend they trust

almost like dimitri trusts felix and dedue for whatever reason trusts you sylvain

💔

you girls are making me suffer today

carly rae jr
a new girl makes you suffer every day! 😇

💔💔💔💔💔

ingrid thee stallion
focus!

anyway i don’t care how it happens but you and felix are going to get those fools together some way somehow

and then like beatrice and benedick you’ll fall in love on the sidelines

whoa

let's take it easy

carly rae jr
well, they at least smashed 🤷🏻

better

picture our hands in a stack and i yell BREAK

ingrid thee stallion
🤚

carly rae jr
🖐



thanks ladies let's get this bread

dime piece 👑

hey dimitriiii

Sylvain, you’re not answering me but I’m literally sitting right across from you.

Can't you just talk to me?

actually no

it's phone related

Consider me intrigued.

Oh, by the way, did you remember to get a bag of rice at the store yesterday by any chance?

Ashe’s cat swatted my phone into the sink while I was doing dishes at his place and it’s not looking good.

ALL RIGHT WHO THE FUCK IS ASHE

sorry wow ignore that

don't give me that look

it's been a long week

I thought you knew him! I’ll have to invite him over. Maybe without Caspar and Linhardt. They’re a lot to take in at once.

sounds great

actually good lead in to my question

that guy felix that you've been having over is pretty cool

Ah, yes! I noticed you two were getting along last time he was here. Who’d have thought I would befriend the only two people on earth who have seen the Lord of the Rings movies more than once?

there are… plenty of people who’ve… you know what never mind

anyway i was wondering if you think it would be cool with him if you gave me his number

for when i want a nerd movie night but your jockliness and her majesty the lady jock just want to watch hoosiers again

I don’t even especially like Hoosiers! It was just the only DVD I had for a time when we first moved in.

have you ever heard of netflix

or like piracy

whatever i just know if i watch chariots of fire again my aneurysm will burst

It is an inspiring film!

No, I don't think Felix would mind. Not more than he minds most things. Just... don't annoy him, all right? He's got a bit of a temper.


sure thing boss

felix 🥵

hey felix! this is sylvain, dimitri's roommate

i got your number from him

don't be mad at him i basically forced him to give it to me

anyway i told him it was so we can plan to watch gattaca and shit together but really it’s because i want your help getting dimitri and dedue to hook up

we'll be like bellatrix and benedict

who?

i don't know, ingrid said something about them

no i mean who is this?

...dimitri's roommate?

ingrid thee stallion

💔💔💔😭😭😭💔💔💔

felix 🥵

i have red hair?

i was kidding. i know who you are.

ingrid thee stallion

?????

oh wait never mind we're good

felix 🥵

oh thank the goddess

didn't peg you for a joker

anyway are in on operation dimitri and dedue: together forever?

okay we can workshop the name i'm not married to it

unlike dimitri and dedue will eventually be

ingrid thee stallion

i'm fucking floundering here ingrid

who is this guy

I am not getting involved.

nice try dorothea but fine i'll try elsewhere

schemin 👹👼😈

mayday mayday

carly rae jr
already???

ingrid thee stallion
I'm putting you all on do not disturb

carly rae jr
ingrid?!?

it's her girlfriend ignore her

annette i think i'm already bombing

carly rae jr
how?? what even happened!??

i got his number from dimitri

and he made a joke that he forgot who i was

and now he's not responding to my recruitment

maybe he doesn’t care about dimitri and dedue in which case why am i wasting my time

carly rae jr
felix made a joke???

and he remembered you?!?!?

🙊

is that bad

ingrid thee stallion
Okay now I'm interested too.

pick a side dorothea

ingrid thee stallion
I've never been good at that. 😉

carly rae jr
ahhhhhhh this is so different from ingrid i don't know if i like it!!!!!

😢😭

hello annette is that bad

that this guy made a joke

carly rae jr
it's just really not like him

idk what to make of it

was it funny?

nah it was hurtful

carly rae jr
well that's more normal i guess

felix 🥵

okay maybe that was too much for a first text i better slow my roll

mmhmm

OH hey!!!

schemin 👹👼😈

he replied omg we're all good

ingrid thee stallion
I'm scouting calligraphers for the wedding invites as we speak.

carly rae jr
wow i like you after all! i'm annette 😊

felix 🥵

so sorry for all that but i'm serious

if you’re friends with dimitri you have to be sick of him talking your ear off about dedue and then acting like there’s nothing between them

it's weird right

or maybe he only does this to me because i'm doomed to exist in the valley of torment

something i did in a past life

do you always talk this much?

yes sorry

especially if i'm nervous

which i am

because i also cannot lose my only opportunity to have a nerd movie partner

idk what i was getting into being friends with only gym rats

i'm a gym rat.

...

😬

schemin 👹👼😈

dorothea keep that calligrapher on call

my funeral might need programs

carly rae jr
😳

felix 🥵

i mean i like the gym too!

duh 💪

anyway let's get back on the subject at hand

will you help me or nah

...

i really don't know why i'm saying this

but yes

schemin 👹👼😈

🥳🥳🥳

crisis averted y'all

ingrid could you please take your phone back

carly rae jr
YAY OMG SYLVAIN you're amazing!!!!!

it's about time somebody noticed

ANNETTE'S PHONE

Sylvain 😊

😳😊

💓💖💞💗💕💘💝

Felix 😊

fess up.

🐒

what did i do?!?

i'm sorry!!!!

you're sorry

but you don't know what you did.

...

❔❔

dimitri's weird roommate texted me

i feel like that has something to do with you somehow

you're always involved

sylvain is not weird!!!

well okay he is... but he's nice too

somewhere in there

anyway what did he want?

i knew you were involved

what?????

how does me not knowing what he wanted mean i know anything?

do you not see the contradiction there?

hmmph ugh stop sending me that

if you ever stop being grumpy when you're wrong! 😇

hmmph

so?

what did he want?

idk.

something about dedue and dimitri.

he's invested in hooking them up.

😍

felix what did you sayyyyy 🎶🎶

yes.

😱😱😱😱😱

idk why so don't ask.

because you loveeee dimitri and want him to be happy!!!! duh!

🗡

i'm thinking this week will be good to set something up for dimidue

WHAT

yeah that's what i'm calling them now

like brangelina

deal with it

or did you mean this week wouldn't be good

that is not what i meant

okay then help me

it shocks me daily that you're a grown man

an adult with like... bills

you pay taxes. you have a 401k.

and you also do shit like this

dimitri and i had SO much fun doing our taxes this year

i made weed brownies

...what a reward

no we ate them and then we did our taxes

i truly didn't ask and i don't want to know

unless you have video evidence

dorothea might think that would be funny

i'll look around if you HELP ME COME UP WITH A PLAN

my innocent, law-abiding, tax-paying roommate deserves happiness in the loving arms of the only man gigantic enough to hold him

i know you're kidding but that's weirdly sweet

okay sylvain i'll help you

i'm only kind of kidding

DIMITRI'S PHONE

Sylvain Gautier

oh are we back now?

My apologies, I cracked my phone screen again today. It is still under warranty so I shall get it fixed after work.

congrats king

In any case, I am on my laptop now, so I can get across clearly what I was trying to type earlier which was: Sylvain.

...yes?

I think I may have been too forward with Dedue. Hence the cracked screen.



Do you think he will be offended or... creeped out?

no

what

that post is like the intersection of all things dedude

the man lives in what is basically a greenhouse

and is literally the best cook on earth

i really think you're fine

Thank you, Sylvain. I was freaking out a little. :)

why am i not surprised

i turned on my phone to three different voicemails of you and dorothea singing something i couldn’t even understand

sorry

grain of salt

i'm glad you appreciate it

what do you feel like doing with felix today

DON'T BE GROSS

🦴🦴🦴

what did i fucking say

just kiddingggg ingworm

why do you ask

he's asking for advice

are you lecturing him to just ask me

actually he's probably scared to

i may have sent some drunk texts

oh goddess

our plans

fuck

wait

then why is he even considering hanging out with you

that is not like felix

🤷

my texts weren't that bad tbh

thank you happy hour me

just my regular annoying but worse spelling

phew

still he's not the patient type

or the second chances type

so watch yourself

it must be my natural charm

i'm irresistable

he must really want this for dimitri

oh

anyway i don't care what we do

fuckdarius

he's a pretty relaxed guy

whatever is probably fine

I will momentarily. Although, you've worn it many times so I have seen your "cute ass" in it a lot.

once more can't hurt right king?

:)

actually when you get out here i have a favor to ask you

so hold on to how good it smells

and for the love of the goddess please appreciate and savor how adorable i look in this apron

It must be a big favor!

something like that

Dedue Molinaro

Dedue! Sylvain asked me to reach out to you.

Hello, Dimitri. Is it about the game? I am still on my way, traffic by the distributor was terrible.

Please send my apologies.

It is about the game today - and about an apology! He told me something came up and he has to be out of the apartment today. He looked very sad about it.

Oh, that's all right.

It is! Because by coincidence I will be home. And I haven’t been able to watch a match in a while. I would love it if you still came even though it will be me instead of Sylvain. :) Oh, and my friend Felix will be here too, I believe.

I will miss Sylvain and his wings, but that sounds good too. 😊

See you soon. I bought the IPA you like by sheer coincidence anyway.

Sylvain still made wings! What a great day this is turning out to be.

she's in trouble

i can't believe i'm saying this

but you might be right about dimitri.

and i guess we can talk about that when we get to the gym

so i'll learn about ashe there

why am i right let me gloat

he is oblivious to the point of blindness.

he needs help.

schemin 👹👼😈

Ingrid 😊

SPILL. NOW.

i’m writing an essay for the scheme group, read it on your girlfriend’s phone when i send it her way

I'm not with her today, I need to know!

...please?

wow how much has ingrid been bugging you about this

while she carefully stays out of it

fine i'll send it to you too

I just like being in the know. 😊

SYLVAIN'S PHONE

felix 🥵

still waiting on intel but

based on how ridiculously cheerful dimitri was on his way out the door this morning

i'd say yesterday was a success

schemin 👹👼😈

okay. so first of all the plan seems to have gone amazingly. dimitri was literally humming when he left for the gym it was sweet. ingworm you’d better bring the info from dedue he’s so difficult to pin down. ugh we really are like bellossom and beckham aren’t we?

carly rae junior
i know you're still typing but i'm already LOVING this

ingrid thee stallion
stop with ingworm

and i can't even begin to address how wrong you are on those names

now we wait

so felix and i decided to go to the gym. he chose that on ingrid’s incredible advice i’m sure because she told me he asked her about what we should do. already a great start if you ask me, i love pulling in a third party when i wanna take something seriously. anyway, we met up there. i was looking fine as hell, as you can imagine, but boyyyyy. annette you’ll appreciate more than ingrid i guess but felix looked smokin which is hugely unfair for a dude in leggings and what looked like a GMU tshirt from like ten years ago (which btw makes no sense since he’s your age right ingy? so he would have graduated like two years ago? anyway). we probably spent like two hours working out which was kinda boring honestly except that he looks crazy strong. which is fun. i looked great too i hope. annette get some intel on that. after we worked out we were like well… the eagles game is only half over. so what now. and i figured this dude is so cranky he’s gonna be like “bye figure it out for yourself” and ditch. but he didn’t! instead he asked if i wanted to grab a drink. and i totally did of course, so we showered and went out to a bar, totally low key. and we ended up hanging out for like another two hours it was crazy. i’m sure i was talking too much but like… i think we both had a good time. he even smiled a couple times. i definitely smiled. and then we said bye and i was on the train home and i was like… was that a date? why do i feel all warm inside like i dumped a bowl of soup in my chest?

carly rae junior
😍🥰🥰😍🥰🥰🥰😘😍😍🥰

wowwwwwwwww sylvain!!!!!

i'll definitely ask about whether you looked hot but i'm sure you did!!

ingrid thee stallion

or anything about me?

FELIX!!!!!

do you care????

wow!!!!!

i just want to know

he said you looked "smokin" 💨

and he had a good time

okay

OKAY ❗️❗️❗️

how did he look come onnnn

okay!!! okay sorry

well i'll be filled with anxiety the rest of the day

but in any case

i already have my next #dimidue idea

still need your help though

you looked hot.

what?!?

yesterday. at the gym.

are you sure i can't get involved It's up to you, my angel. ❤️❤️❤️

what?

that was easy

are you talking to sylvain about it already

...no?

like in general not right this second

...yes.

i knew it

you're predictable

😀🌹

okay then i am not gonna hide my involvement anymore

i think there are feelings at work

Well, that changes things. They need you for those.

mmhmm

goddess help me

Dedude

hi dedue! who won yesterday?

Hello Ingrid! The Eagles won, fortunately. Seiros is not very good this season.

woohoo! and you got some of sylvain’s wings out of it right? he told me you were going over to watch with him

lucky you

He would almost surely invite you if you didn't yell at the TV so loudly.

i can't help it, i'm a real fan

plus he must have yelled too right? seiros is by far his least favorite team

He was not there, actually. There was a timing mix-up so Dimitri and I watched the match instead.

oooh really? how was that?

It was nice. 🙂 I had a good time. I believe Dimitri did too.

i’m sure he did 😊😊😊 you should tell him you had a good time!

maybe then it will happen again 😉

Maybe I will. Thank you, Ingrid. 🙂

schemin 👹👼😈

DEDUE HAD A GOOD TIME

sylvain you call dimitri right now

annie
felix had a good time too!

three out of four!!!

wh*re
annette i am never telling you anything ever again

annie
🙊

felix is such a villain 😫

wh*re
you're lucky you're literally the only good person left on planet earth

🔫👱🏻

wh*re
on of the two

i’ll update you all when dimitri is back from the gym

but again he was humming when he left

it speaks for itself

SYLVAIN'S PHONE

felix 🥵

so

i'm guessing annette already told you what i thought

wait until you see me in the apron she gave me

what's your idea?

what?

oh right #dimidue

sorry i was just distracted by you saying something nice to me

i'm guessing i shouldn't get used to it huh

anyway ingrid's girlfriend is co-directing this like community theater opera thing and i was thinking

we should each invite one of them to go to it but then there will be a mix up 😉 at the ticket office and their tickets will be in a completely different part of the theater from ours

and the usually very flexible theater will definitely need us to sit in our specific seats so they’ll be on their own

and this benefits me too because i cannot go to this shit with ingrid she has no appreciation for high art

i agree.

you agree? man of culture?

i don't dislike the opera.

high praise

okay so does this plan sound okay?

sure.

better than the first one actually.

i'm a tactical genius

okay cool. the production is next weekend. i think we’re all already casually planning on going since, ya know, ingrid will kill us if we don’t

despite the fact that we can't tell an opera from a musical

😒

she's lucky she has other good qualities

right? and such generous friends

hit you up later with more details. i’m guessing you’ll handle dimitri? or want me to try this time?

actually i could invite both of them if you want

it might make sense that way. but then i’d have to invite ingrid

then why would i be there?

...coincidence? idk

and you just said you liked the opera

or didn't hate it

same thing with you it seems like

okay time to call my roommate and ask about his date byeeee

OUTGOING CALL
D: Hello Sylvain!
S: Hey Dimitri, how were your one hundred million laps?
D: You know I don’t do that many!
S: Okay, how were your one million laps?
D: You are ridiculous.
S: Right? Anyway, I was hoping I’d catch you before you left the Y. Did I?
D: I am passing through the front door as we speak! Can I do something for you?
S: You’re actually doing something for you, king. I wanna make you dinner tonight as thanks for taking my slot with Dedue yesterday!
D: Ah. No thanks needed! Although, I wanted to ask you — what was so important? I don’t think Dedue was upset but it was a bit rude of you.
S: I know, dude, it was a huge bummer that I had to miss it. I’m really glad you were gonna be around anyway. How did it go?
D: Are you… changing the subject?
S: Not really, right? Come on, Dimitri, spill.
D: Well, I suppose it can’t hurt. In fact… I had a good time. I think we both did! We watched the Eagles match, which Seiros unfortunately lost.
S: I heard from Ingrid, lame, dude.
D: They are terrible this season. But it was nice watching with Dedue. He is such a joy to be around.
S: Dude do you hear yourself? Do you think that’s what I tell people about being around you?
D: I… I don’t know what you mean.
S: Ugh, Felix was right.
D: Felix? About what?
S: Huh? Are you in the station? You’re breaking up.
D: I am, yes. I can hear you just fine though.
S: Oh, whew, better now. Okay, so then what? After the match?
D: We just got talking for a bit. Dedue brought that IPA I like so we had some of that. He drove though so not much.
S: You didn’t invite him to crash?
D: …no, of course not.
S: You know I wouldn’t mind. Or if I did you could just tell me he was staying and I’d find somewhere else to go for the night.
D: Your behavior in that realm makes me anxious, Sylvain. I don’t want to encourage it.
S: I meant like staying with Ingrid or Annette or something, chill out. So you and Dedue just talked and then said goodbye or whatever?
D: Yes, that’s all. What else would we have done?
S: Dimitri?
D: Yes, Sylvain? I’m about to get the train so I apologize if we’re cut off.
S: Okay. One, pick up ingredients for whatever you want for dinner and I’ll make it tonight. And two: when this is all over, I want you to remember this conversation and how obtuse you’re being. And how much I must love you to keep this train rolling.
D: When what is all over? Sylvain? Oh, my train is here, I have to go! Talk later.

i think dimitri has one singular brain cell

and he uses it to count laps at the y

nothing else

ugh classic

we'll help him understand eventually

annie
it’s so sad how out of touch with his feelings dimitri is 🙁

don't you guys think dedue could help him out with that?

wh*re
totally. they're perfect for each other.

every day i wake up thankful to live with dimitri

he's such a good guy

i’ll be really heartbroken when i have to move out because the sound of their tender love making really hammers home how lonely i am

on the goddess

if you don't shut the fuck up

wh*re
annette will you take me in?

annie
i wish i could mute just one person in a group chat 😇

i was gonna just text you at the start of all this

but someone said he would go scorched earth if he was left out

heyyyy dorothea

did you enjoy my write up?

okay you know ingrid hates when other people turn their read receipts on

are you mad at me?

okay so you won’t want to hear about how happy dimitri and dedue are and how felix and i are going to help them realize that they’re in love

and how you're going to be the light of the next step of the plan

the lynchpin, the irreplaceable star player

okay i can see you reading these come on dorothea

Ferdie EW

Dorothea, could you pick up some tea on your way to rehearsal tonight? You have such exquisite taste, I know I can trust you.

Has the goddess looked on me with pity and blessed me with two annoying redheaded men to bully at the same time?

What am I, your secretary?

🙁

I am sorry, Dorothea. You are right. In fact to make up for it I shall bring some for you tonight instead.

Ugh, Ferdie, do you have to be such a good person?

Fine. I’ll bring you your tea. But I’ll take point at rehearsal tonight. No backseat direction.

You know, we are co-directing. It could be better if we work together.

Don’t push your luck or I’ll ask them to sugar your tea and your rat husband won’t kiss you when you get home.

😧🥺

He is not a rat!

redhead money tinder

fine maybe i’ll ask that guy you work with who’s married to fodlan’s only adult goth

OKAY. What do you want Sylvain.

i figured making fun of that dude would get me on your good side

Self-recognition through the other.

yeah sure

i need you to help me arrange a ticketing mix-up at your opera

which i'm soooo excited to see btw

Really?

for sure. i'm a man of excellent taste despite my shitty habits

Color me surprised. What were you thinking?

i need there to be a glitch that puts dimitri and dedue next to each other in one section of the venue

and felix and i as far away as possible

maybe not far enough that we can't see each other at intermission

but far enough to wonder if it's worth it

do you think you can do that?

psh who am i kidding i know you can do that

dorothea i can see you reading these

Shit.

He made fun of Ferdie, my love. Forgive me, but I can't resist.

yeah true

i give you my blessing to help my idiot friend help our idiot friends find love

😚

I love when you send me emojis. 🥰❤️

Fine, Sylvain. I’ll help you out. But based on what Ingrid has told me I’m guessing Felix isn’t going to be interested in sitting with you, even for the sake of your ridiculous plan.

well aren't you in for a surprise

he already said yes!

i'm charming as hell in person, you know this

Maybe when you're not hollering Arctic Monkeys at karaoke night.

hey i'm sensitive about that don't tease me

Whatever. I’ll put the work in tonight at rehearsal with the box office.

okay.

see you at the operaaaa

i'll figure out inviting dimitri and dedue

i'm such a giver

schemin 👹👼😈

should we just agree to go as a group

i feel like it's less suspicious than me asking dimitri and dedue

carly rae junior
but then it gets harder to figure out what happens when you get there! 😔

ingrid thee stallion
i cannot believe how fast dorothea caved

i really thought she was the one

ingworm if you break up with her you're never forgiven

she rules

carly rae junior
i like her too! 😊

anyways sylvain why don’t you just invite dimitri and tell him to bring dedue?

kinda feels like he’d be open to it now huh? 😉

you might be right annette

you two are geniuses

ingrid thee stallion
you literally could not have done this without us

dime piece 👑

heyyyy dimitri

you're going to dorothea's opera opening night right?

Of course! Ingrid would surely kill me if I did not. Why do you ask?

i was thinking it might be easier if we go together so we can buy tickets all at once

and hey

if you're feeling brave

you could ask dedue to join us 😉

Sylvain... I don’t know. I did enjoy spending time with him last week, but… I do not want to push my luck.

dude it's fine. i'll be there

ingrid thee stallion

is the worst part of this lying to dimitri or bailing on dedue?

goddess the things i do for beatrice and ol eggs benedick

seeing you get the names right is kinda making me tear up

even though that's you and felix, dumbass

😢

dime piece 👑

Well, you are quite adept in these situations. Is the opera romantic at all?

why, hoping it will inspire someone? 😉😜

Do not tease me, Sylvain. :( Actually, where are you right now? Spending some time with you would make me feel much better, to be honest. You are always relaxing and I have had a tough day. Perhaps you could coach me on asking Dedue!

ugh king you’re making my heart swell ❤️

imma keep it real with you chief i was looking for an excuse to put this project down for the night so here i come

and i’ll bring all the vindaloo you can eat. the kind that makes me cry. for you, roommate to ruin all other roommates

You are a good friend, Sylvain. :)

you have no idea

ugh

do we need a sub-scheme to help him out

i can't believe i'm saying this 🙈

but i think sylvain can handle it

he actually has been doing well so far

our son is growing up

felix is gonna be a tough nut to crack though

ashe-n demon

Ingrid, what's going on with Felix?

you know what ashe

you truly do not want to know

I feel like I should know, actually. He and I just had one of those “through the door” talks.

oh goddess

it's serious then huh

Yes. 😣 But maybe it’s a good thing if this Sylvain guy likes him at all?

so... you don't know sylvain at all but i'll say this

it has been a hot second since he put this much effort into anything in his love life

he's usually the hit it and quit it type

plus dimitri told me felix likes lord of the rings and sylvain could never let that go

I’m just worried about him, you know? Remember the post-Leonie period?

yeah but he caught feelings for her and she didn't

this seems? different?

He just gets so serious. I hope Sylvain is a good guy. Felix doesn’t deserve any more heartbreak.

actually in the karmic balance of things i would say that is exactly what felix deserves

😠

ugh you're right baby 👶

😡

i know i know

i'll keep an eye on things

...

did you learn anything interesting from your talk

like maybe anything i could pass on or drop hints about

Just that… I don’t know if Felix knows how much he’s feeling. You know how he is.

there’s something funny about us trying to save felix from a terrible and emotionally damaging hookup with sylvain

when this circus started and the clowns came pouring in

i was trying to save dimitri from a terrible and emotionally damaging hookup with felix

why is everyone in this friend group so weird

Wait, Dimitri is involved in all this?

not in that way lol

you're the only one brave enough for a polycule

braver than a fodlan marine

😳🤭😬

I can't imagine Dimitri or Felix with more than one person at a time honestly.

if anyone could do it it's sylvain

i promise to invite you to happy hour next time so you know what i’m talking about

you know what fuck it come out tomorrow

A Wednesday night?

come on, you're baby not an old man

do it

you always wanna come

and it’s karaoke which means sylvain Yelling do i wanna know

...fine.

yessss i'll make sure sylvain is there

no so's allowed

not even dorothea

Generous. 🙄

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't I invite Felix?

He’ll probably say no, but I might as well try to help. I think he actually likes Sylvain. He just has to get that. 😅

i'm a genius

sorry it's hopefully so soon before my death though

Hmm… I think there was at least one person in that bar who was charmed with your performance. 😉😇

Just a guess based on the train home.

😳😳

i'll ask but you know he's never gonna tell me anything

so after i fail there i'm hoping you'll share

😇😇😇

I did like it when you called me a delight.

felix 🥵

so

did you block my number

okay, read receipts so i'm not blocked!

no.

ingrid maybe.

she blocks me once a week at least

let her at it

your enthusiasm was a little scary.

what can i say baby i was born to cover kings of leon badly and loud in a dark ass bar

i'm guessing my dance moves did not impress you though

nothing about your performance impressed me.

Dedue! I am looking forward to the opera tomorrow. :)

Hello Dimitri! I am excited as well. I have not met Ingrid’s girlfriend yet.

She is very nice! Unless you have ever thrown up red sauce and tequila.

😕

Long story. One of many parties I wished you were at to keep me from doing something stupid.

You will have to invite me to go to more with you. 😊

I would like that. :) All right, I will leave you be — just wanted to let you know! Please enjoy your Thursday!

You as well, Dimitri.

Sylvain Gautier

Your coaching made me far less nervous to text Dedue than I usually am. Thank you. :)

not kidding dude anything for you

i know you don’t wanna hear this but i think you should make a move at the opera tomorrow 💪

I... would like to, but I am nervous. :(

you know you could have a lot more flexibility in your expressions if you used emojis

i've offered to help you get the keyboard a milion times

but anyway

you and dedue have been close forever

and you definitely like him and i'm sure he likes you

i think you should go for it king

We shall see. Perhaps having you by my side shall give me courage!

Notes:

thank you for reading! :) the deep lore is that the felix pointing picture in this universe is from a time where felix did karaoke crimes. probably it was a my chemical romance song. also brangelina in fodlan what will they do?
