In that case, maybe I should have suggested sex.

[Ray please stop.]

yea who knows. maybe he WOULD have been into having sex with you in his body.

... or me in your body?? no ok that might be too much

or not. i'll be honest after all these years i still dont know for sure where his limits are i just go along with whatever hes up for

... plus this is another dimension's egon

maybe hes kinkier

[This conversation was about dancing at first]

That's always possible.

I wonder if there's a way to find that out without making things really awkward?

oh dont worry i'll be there in a couple weeks

i can figure it out ;-)

[Venkman has never before been stopped by awkwardness and he sure as fuck won't be stopped now.]

Why am I suddenly terrified?

:-/ hey come on i know what im doing

[That is a lie.]

... in all seriousness though i cant wait to see you two again. not just in like a sexual way but

man

do you know how long it's BEEN since ive been away from both of you for longer than like, a week? even if egon was at like a conference or something you'd still be with me, or if you were both in the hospital after an experiment blew up in your faces i'd still get to visit you both every day... and with winston gone, too-

sure, i got to see you both with the bodyswap thing, but that's not the same

[Congratulations, Ray received Venkman's Genuine, Non-Deflected Emotions as he finally puts into words just how goddamn lonely he's been this whole time.]

[And all he had to do was talk about Egon's kinks...]

Yeah, it has been too long.

This might sound weird, but I started missing you so much that when I woke up in your body last Monday, I ended up spending most of the time just hugging myself, or yourself, because I missed you so badly.

I love this dimension a lot but it's really hard not to feel lonely sometimes, even with Egon.

[...]

And I'm sorry. Both for not joining you on that cruise and spending so long in Violet City.

aw

you're adorable, Ray

its not weird its cute. i spent more time than I'd like to admit just kind of looking at you in the mirror

yea. i love this version of Egon- it's Egon after all, even if he's not our world's Egon- but I feel kind of... guilty? for it sometimes. i dunno.

and thats not your fault. i know i teased you both about that before but you had no idea i was here when you started going down the route and vice versa. I'm just glad you both had each other.

and don't worry about that either. what matters is that i'll be seeing you both again soon, right?

You think I'm adorable?

[They've been together for years.]

No I get that. I'm sure our Egon understands; I bet you if anything he feels guilty himself for dating two alternate versions of his partners than one.

Maybe I should take up smoking to make him feel more at home?

[Ok that's actually a joke.]

And we should hopefully be in Goldenrod this time next week! Now that we're back in our own bodies, we plan on heading out tomorrow!

We have to prep first, however. Thank goodness we found out about self heating coffee and hot chocolate! It's going to make this week long hike a lot nicer.

ray stantz you're the most adorable man ive ever known and you know it

yeah i. guess

[Theres a pause as Venkman debates whether or not he actually wants to go into this. In the end, he decides, fuck it, he probably should. Ray will understand, right? And so, Ray gets to hear about just a small portion of what Venkman's been worried about these past few weeks:]

i dunno. that bit about what his version of peter venkman was like is still eating at me.

like, hell, the way he described him made it sound like he was that movie version of me?
and its bad enough that some people really think im like that back home because of that movie, but that this egon might actually have known a version of myself that acts like that?

i guess im worried about whether or not i could ever turn into that kind of person. and whether or not this egon thinks im that kind of person already? ... or that i already am like that and just dont realize it.

i know i should probably talk to him about this but. i dunno. egons bad enough with emotional junk like this.

[i will only write sadstuck for ghostbusters if it means it can involve something stupid like venkmans undying fury towards bill murray. thank u]

anyway. please for the love of god dress warm and stay safe out there when youre on the road again. dont die.

Aww c'mon Pete. I've known you for long enough to know that you're like nothing from the movie. Besides, you're a psychologist, aren't you? You know that people don't suddenly change like... that out of the blue.

And, if nothing else, I think Egon mentioned that at least some of his behavior is an act? Even if it's more extreme it's not all real still.

Either way you'll always be my snarky partner and I love you :-) Anyone who judges you based solely on the movie will have no idea what a great person you are

[He loves you you nerd.]

Alright mom, I'll make sure to wear my hat out too.

i know its irrational, thats part of why i didnt bring it up before.

at least it means that ever since egon brought it up, ive been paying more attention to my behavior just in case. even when I am just playing up the whole "heterosexual guy" angle. i dont want to act like a creep.

... youre a sap, ray. and i love you.

[He's still worried about it all, but at least he feels a bit better with Ray knowing.]

alright, you whippersnapper, you better wear a hat. and a scarf. and multiple layers. dont think I wont ask egon to make sure you're both keeping warm.

Love you too!

You know you probably don't have to worry about pretending to be straight here! People seem pretty cool here and worst case scenario no one will remember when we go home.

... >:-(

[Oh! Actually-]

You know, come to think of it, when we get to Goldenrod, Valentine's Day will be just around the corner.

:-D We should do something together!

yeah ive... sort of gotten the vibe that i dont have to worry as much about that, but i dunno. old habits die hard, right?

but you're right. we should. we'll finally get to go on a real Valentine's day date, not a "Day after Valentine's because we don't want to deal with rumors" date or a "Egon wants to drag us into the sewers on Valentine's day to collect spore samples" date

Aww, I really enjoyed that date! :-(

But it would be nice to actually do something on Valentine's Day proper!
I'm sure Goldenrod has some great restaurants there.

yea of course you did. you'd go into the sewers for a date any time

you dork

i'll look into restaurant reservations there when i get there ;-)
