Alright, everyone. I had enough trouble trying to get emojis onto ao3, so if you wanna experience the full emoji experience of this chapter check out Pushing Platonic on ao3 under the username Andsoshewrites!
Alright, alright, I know what you're saying. "Madison, why did it take you so long to get a chapter of texts out?" /characterization/, my friends
The next few chapters may be slower to come out because they're a bit longer and I have to figure out a few things with them!
(chris mentions josef in this chapter-that's his coach!)
(all times appear as victor's time, whatever timezone he happens to be in. chris and victor's names are shown as the other's contact name for them)
