Hayden

Do you still think I’m hot?

Fishing for compliments?

Hayden

Always

Yeah, I do. The gray hair suits you.

Hayden

I’m not going gray, fuck you very much.

Aging like a fine wine.

Hayden

*Looks up the best anti-aging skincare*

I’m kidding, but also not. You’re still hot, Cas.

Hayden

Seems we had the same thought because I thought you were the hottest guy I’d ever seen.

Were? Ouch.

Hayden

Fishing for compliments, are we Jax?

Okay, okay. You got me.

Hayden

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

And yeah, the thought still stands.

You’re still the hottest guy I’ve ever seen.

But you won’t be if you don’t get some sleep. You’ve got an early flight tomorrow, and you know that altitude change is gonna kick your pretty peachy ass.

Oh, coming for my ass now too?

Hayden

I’m not falling for that bait.

I snort out a laugh into the pillow. Shit, my cheeks ache from grinning so hard. I hadn’t realized how much I’d missed this until now.

Night, Cas.

Hayden

Night, Jax.
