with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow

While sexting with his new fuck buddy Logan, Wade accidentally sends a dick pic to his ex-girlfriend, leading Vanessa down a road of self-reflection about the feelings she still has for him.

Chapter 1

Wade

This image has been deleted.

SERIOUSLY Wade???

I mean I knew you were immature

But I thought you were at least
slightly above sending
unsolicited dick pics

Not the classiest way to try to
get a girl back

OH MY GOD

shit im so sorry vanessa

would you believe me if i said that was meant for someone else

And now you go for the most classic excuse in the book

im serious

i must have tapped your name by mistake

i wouldnt do that to you on purpose

Uh-huh

So you're suddenly seeing
some mystery girl you've never
mentioned before?

And her name just happens
to be next to mine in
your phone?

sort of something like that yes

I really thought better of
you than that Wade

Learned my lesson again I guess

look

weve been keeping it on the dl

but ill tell you

because i want you to
know i respect you

and it was genuinely an accident

so here we go

i meant to send that to logan

hes in my contacts as wolverine

Oh you WISH

If you're not going to be serious
there's no point in continuing
this conversation

omg i am being serious

plz stop being so mad at me

it was a mistake

if you dont believe me you can ask al

shes the only other person weve told

because you know

close quarters

arrangements need to be made

etc

Okay I'm texting Al right now

If she says you're lying we're
so done with this still
being friends thing

Wait

Can Al text?

Oh yeah she's typing

|                                                       


Al

Hey Al hope you're doing well!

Sorry if this is a REALLY
weird question

But is there something going on
between Wade and Logan?

Wade told me I should ask you
since I didn't believe him

Hello

is this thing on

I hate this fucking speech to text shit

why don't you just call me

it's way easier

and then I don't have to worry about
whether you're actually getting this

or whether the phone is doing
some other random thing instead

remember when phones were just
for talking on the damn phone

and didn't have all this
other shit on them

anyway yeah they fuckin

pointing emoji ok hand emoji

did that work

|                                                       


Chapter 2

Ellie

But according to Al he was
actually telling the truth!

Which I was REALLY surprised by

Like not that he's seeing a guy

I knew he was into guys too

He never used to shut up about how
much he wanted to fuck Daniel Craig
in the James Bond movies

But that it's LOGAN of all people

Like talk about a contrast
in personalities

And then the more I thought about it
the more I think it made me
kind of jealous?

Which is really stupid because I'm
the one who broke up with him

I'm supposed to be moving on and
living my best life and all that

I thought I was!

But apparently I can't handle
the news that he found
someone else

Which sucks!

why DID u guys break up anyway

he never really wanted to talk abt it

Oh man

I ask myself that sometimes too

We had a really good thing
going for a while

We were even planning
to start a family

But then it started to seem like he
wasn't really ready for that

I mean I quit doing sex work

Which I was REALLY GOOD AT

Because what kid wants to grow up
with a hooker for a mom right

Like I was willing to sacrifice my
whole career for our future

But meanwhile he's doing
vigilante shit

Like running around beating up
whatever bad guy he thinks
deserves it this week

And I was like how are you going to
do that and take the kids
to soccer practice?

And what if something
happens to you?

And you know him

He's like I'm fine! I'm Deadpool!
I can grow back my limbs!
I'm gonna live forever!

Eventually he did listen and got a
normal job but he fucking hated it

It made him really depressed and
I just felt bad for making him do it

But what ELSE were we going to do

And it was like we just started fighting
about more and more dumb shit

Neither of us was happy anymore

I realized one day I couldn't even
remember the last time
he made me laugh

And I had to be like okay

Clearly this isn't working out

And we're not bringing a baby
into this mess

But fuck it was a hard
decision to make

And I guess I still miss him even
more than I thought I did

I miss the good times before
everything went to shit

And I don't know what to do

damn

sounds rough

Do you think I should talk
to him about it?

I don't know

I don't want to bother him if
he's really moving on now

no offense vanessa

but u have other 30something
straight friends right

like out of everyone u could
choose to talk to abt
ur relationship problems

why r u asking for advice
from a 22 yr old lesbian

LOL

I mean you seem to have your
shit together relationship wise

You and Yukio have been
an item for years right

But also I guess it's because you
know Wade better than most people

I thought maybe you'd
have some insight

i guess i know him well enough to
know hes a force of chaos

theres no changing that

and ive seen other people try

ask colossus about the time he was
an xmen trainee for like
5 seconds sometime

i think if u still have feelings for
him u have to ask urself

can u be happy with him
the way he is

instead of like an imaginary version
of him thats all settled down

bcuz thats not going to happen

hes always going to live his own
fucked up weird life

question is just if u want to be
a part of that life or not

idk does that make any sense

No totally

I think that might actually
be really good advice Ellie

Thanks for listening

might be a moot point tho

since hes probably bouncing on
wolverines dick as we speak

Oh my god

He probably is

sorry were u trying to avoid
thinking about that

Only because it sounds really hot

And I'm trying to do some
serious self-reflection and
not get distracted

cant relate

imagining ur exbf naked makes me
want to vomit

Lol

I guess whether I should tell him
how I feel or not kind of depends
on how serious this thing with
Logan is right

But can I just ask him about that?

Or is that weird

hmm

i might have a plan to find out

What is it?

will send in the troops tmrw morning

and report back

night v

Lol ok

Goodnight Ellie

And thanks again!

npnp

talk 2 u tmrw

Chapter 3

Yukio💫💖🫶

hi wade!!!!!!!!

heyyyyyyy sup yukio 💖

i heard you're bouncing on
wolverine's dick!

well first of all

not currently

or else i wouldnt be texting you

but second of all

and possibly most importantly

how many people fucking know
about that

is everyone gossiping behind
our backs

pretty much yeah!

ok great

good to know

any other private info youve
heard about me lately

just ur dick size 😝

well that ones hardly private

its on my wikipedia

anyway how serious are
you and logan!!!

are you gonna propose

are you gonna have
half-wolverine babies

that'd be so cute actually omg 🥺

not sure about that last one since
we dont live in the omegaverse

and uh

actually not sure about any of those
questions come to think of it

sorry i dont have any hot gossip for
you to bring back to negasonic
teenage mutant ninja turtle

actually shouldnt her name be like negasonic young adult warhead
by now

hmm 🤔

doesnt have the same ring to it
i cant blame her for sticking
with what works

young adult warhead 🤣🤣🤣

but what do you mean!

you don't know if you're
serious or not?

yukio have you ever tried having
a talk about your feelings

with mr sexy pouty gruff badass

its not easy

you're forgetting wade!

i'm also dating a sexy pouty
gruff badass 💜

and we manage somehow!

wow i never thought about that

youre telling me shes capable
of saying more than a few
words at a time

expressing an emotion other
than cynicism even

nah

cant picture it

you can't have a relationship without
communicating wade!!!

what are you saying i should ask him

just hit the fucking wolverine
with a "what are we"

why not!

you'll have to talk about it
eventually right

yeah but what if i put it off
as long as possible

thereby getting as much rough
nasty sex as possible

before the inevitable heartbreak

who says it's inevitable!!!

maybe he'll be like omg wade i want
you to be my gay boyfriend 💜

and then you'll be glad you asked!

i mean if anything id be his
pansexual boyfriend

idk sounds pretty gay to me wade!

i guess if anyones allowed to
say that you are

anyway it sounds like you DO
want to be his boyfriend!

no

maybe

dont tell negasonic seventeen
magazine i said that

i'll keep ur secret

IF

you talk to ur man about
your feelings!!!

youre an expert blackmailer yukio

fine

brb

Chapter 4

Wolverine✖️🔪😼

hey honey badger ❤️

Hey

Had a great time last night

me too 🔥🥵💦

handcuffs were an inspired idea

Yeah I thought you'd like that

Want to use some ropes next time?

oh hell yeah

cant wait

anyway question for you

Shoot

what are we

What? I don't get it

am i just a fuck buddy to you

or did our road trip through the void
forge a deeper bond

like sam and frodo taking the
ring to mordor

wait bad example

sam married that other hobbit
chick in the end

even though frodo would have
given up EVERYTHING for him

let me start again

if biz markie asked you if
you have a man

would you tell him you only
have a friend

Wade I genuinely do not know
what the fuck you're talking
about right now.

fuck it

logan

do you want to go out sometime

You mean on a date?

yeah

Sure

wait REALLY???

Yes?

How is that surprising to you

didnt know if you liked me

I was literally moaning your name
when I blew my load in your ass
last night

you dont have to LIKE someone
to do that

trust me i should know

Well

I do like you

Even though you're also
extremely annoying

ill take it ❤️

So what do you have in mind

oh about a million different things
at any given time

I meant for our date, dumbass

OH right

oh shit

i hadnt thought that far ahead

kinda figured youd say no tbh

Well tell you what

I'll be home from the garage
in about an hour

So how about you do some thinking

And we'll talk about it then

baby

when you get home

we are NOT just talking

Lol okay

What about Al though

im kicking her out onto the street ❤️

by which i mean convincing her to
take the dog for a nice long walk

that chubby pupper needs
some exercise

Good idea

See you soon for some exercise
of our own then

🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵🍆💦🍑

Chapter 5

Vanessa💙

Hey Wade

I just wanted to apologize for being
so rude to you the other night

I should have figured sending that
picture was an accident

Instead of jumping to the worst
conclusions and getting mad
about it

oh hey no worries

that was totally my bad

id be pretty annoyed too if someone
sent me a random dick pic

unless it was a really nice dick i guess

or a really weird one

that might be interesting to look at

for purely academic reasons

Haha

And congrats about you and Logan

I was surprised at first but I bet you
actually make a cute couple

thanks!

we're actually like

"official" now

as of pretty recently

I know

Yukio told Ellie and Ellie told me

so THATS all the links in the
gossip chain

Sorry

its okay

i dont really mind you guys knowing

youre some of my best friends

i just felt weird about telling people
at first when it was more casual

and i didnt know if he was okay
with anyone knowing

or if hed be embarrassed or smth

but now i guess thats not a problem

since hes apparently down to be
seen with me in public on our
first real date this weekend!

What's the plan for that?

Skee ball?

no way babe that wouldnt be
the same without you

im actually taking him to see
some community theatre

you wouldnt guess it but hes
really into musicals

hes genuinely excited for a local
attempt at brigadoon

i cant wait to find out how bad
the scottish accents are

Sounds nice

Have fun

thx!

i really hope this works out

for a long time i thought id never find
someone i really clicked with again

but this feels right

Like puzzle pieces

yeah

hey im really glad you and i
are still friends

even though we werent right for
each other as partners in the end

you still mean a lot to me

hey you still there?

it said you were typing for a while

but then the bubble disappeared

Sorry

Just got distracted

I'm glad we're friends too

see you tuesday for pathfinder?

Definitely

Can't wait to kick some goblin ass

sick

have a good night love u bb 💖

You too

Yukio💫💖🫶
