Cook proposes on a Saturday. That's always the first thing David remembers, whenever anyone asks.
They've been twittering (or, um, is it tweeting?) back and forth for, like, an hour or something, just about silly everyday stuff (which David is already used to, because, like, when he first made Cook sign up for a Twitter account, that's all Cook had done for days, just, whatever spammed him with Tweets about stuff, and not even, like, updates stuff, just things like why is water red? and i'm glad i don't have sweaty palms and lullabies are the best, which, okay, totally weird, but David has them all favorited anyway).
Anyway, they're talking about this, um, pelican that David saw in the zoo when he was twelve, when suddenly Cook sends: i tip my hat to the keeper of the stars.
David blinks for a second, disoriented. Um, he tweets back. The Pelicans ( ... )

I -- YOU LISTENING TO SONGS AND THINKING OF ME, THAT IS INCREDIBLY INTIMATE AND UM, SORT OF HOT AND AWESOME AND I AM PROBABLY IN THE WRONG PLACE TO BE GETTING WORKED UP OVER YOU BUT LMFAO TELL THAT TO MY HEART. I WISH YOU WERE HERE, OR AT LEAST CLOSER SO MAYBE WE COULD TALK WITHOUT THE THREAT OF A BILLION DOLLAR PHONE CALL. I WISH THAT MORE THAN I HAVE EVER WISHED ANYTHING.

AND THE IDEA OF GETTING TO TALK TO YOU ON THE PHONE IS KIND OF, IT'S, IDEK, I THINK I MIGHT GET SO FLUSTERED I'D JUST SIT WITH THE PHONE PRESSED AGAINST MY EAR AND LISTEN TO YOU BREATHING.

I LOOOOVED IT.
THIS LINE: It doesn't really explain things any better?
AND THEN THIS LINE: Um, are we still talking about pelicans? David sends back, Because that would be kind of weird? Ha ha.
AND THEN THIS LINE:And David's heart feels like it's going to burst, maybe. "Cook," he says, and then Cook lets out a sob, and David laughs and grips the phone and sings, like the time they sang the phonebook, tuneless and happy, "Cook, yes. Yes."
AND I CANNOT EVEN FUNCTION RIGHT NOW.

Except not. I feel sappy and emotional after reading that, probably because I have listened to the song a lot this evening. And I was grinning like a complete fool at the last line. Just, idek, I feel all happy and giddy. *snuggles you* <3
