[And the second his thumb brushes the "send" button, he freezes, and suddenly he's not in his too-warm bed in his sweltering dorm room but out in the brisk night air, seated beside Crow.
"I do appreciate it, though." he finds himself saying. "My time here has definitely taught me how important a good friend can be. And..." Crow's head tilts a bit, inquisitively, at Rean's pause. "I consider you one of mine. I don't just look up to you because you're older than me, but because you're a good friend."
There's an ever-so-brief flash of shock through Crow's expression. What, did he really not see that coming? Still, it's enough to give Rean a moment's pause.
"...okay, maybe 'friend' is a little strong. 'Partner in crime' is more like it." Rean backpedals, and Crow's expression slips right back into his usual lazy smile.
"Partners in crime, huh? Not sure whether I should be offended or wear it with pride."
And then Rean's staring at the screen again, and Crow babbling about an some super rare waifu or whatever. Rean's not really focused on that, instead scrolling up a bit to read over the words that triggered the memory.
He laughs a little, and between tiredness and overwhelming nostalgia he can feel small tears misting at the corners of his eyes.]
Even that followed us here... we really were fated to find one another again.
Congrats on the pull. Don't know if you can really contribute that to me, but you're welcome anyway.

Wait
What followed us here. Did you have another memory?
no subject
But if you insist, I can try to lend my apparent mystical powers to your waifu hunt
Ah, yeah. Just now. Sorry, everything's kind of happening all at once and it's late...
It's funny, though. I'm the one who called YOU that, before. You said you weren't sure whether to be offended or wear it with pride.
no subject
...
Huh. Maybe past me just already accepted it. I think a couple of troublemakers like us can agree it's the pride one
no subject
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was pride. Just usual teasing, as we do
Even if it wasn't, though, I'll wear that title with pride now.
no subject
But yeah, I think it's safe to say we're both proud of our status. Partners-in-crime across lifetmes
no subject
Yeah. I like the sound of it as much now as I did then.
