"That'd be great, yeah." Damien let out a soft breath. "Would be really great."
"That'd be great, yeah." Damien let out a soft breath. "Would be really great."
Rowan nodded and drew his knees up to his chest. He hugged them tightly and rested his chin on them. "Here's hoping… but all we can do is wait."
"Yeah. Don't wanna keep my hopes too high, though." Damien pet Milo behind the ears, pretty distracted from the show by this point.
"Y-Yeah…" Rowan pet Milo as well, still quite tense.
"It'll be fine." Damien tried to reassure him.
Rowan nodded. "I'm sure it'll all be fucking fantastic."
"Somehow I feel like you're being sarcastic." Damien continued to pet Milo.
"Just a little bit." Rowan sighed.
"Mhm." Damien rubbed his eyes. He checked the time again. He wasn't watching the show anymore, he really just wanted to chill out. "Ah. Fuck. I got homework for when I get home, don't I?"
"Probably do. I do. But I probably won't do it." Rowan shrugged.
"Yeah. I'm probably only doing a couple classes. Too fucking tired to do it all." Damien laughed.
Rowan laughed weakly as well and turned his attention back to the show.
Damien went quiet, trying to get back into watching the show.
(Time skip?)
(Yeah, that'd be great)
Rowan kept watching the clock, growing increasingly anxious as 2:45 drew nearer. By the time it was 2:40, he was trembling slightly.
The sound of a pickup truck and too-loud country music rumbled outside. Cliff, obviously- he never made his presence a secret. It was almost funny how stereotypical he was.
"I think Cliff's here." Damien got up, stretching.
Rowan breathed a quiet sigh of relief. "Thank God… let's go meet him." He grabbed his crutches and pulled himself to his feet.
Before either of them could take more than a few steps, Cliff opened the front door and stepped inside. "Hey, y'all home?" He called.
"Yeah, Cliff, we're in the living room." Damien responded, running his fingers through his hair.
Rowan stopped in his tracks and shifted a bit to be more comfortable on the crutches. "Hey, Cliff." He nodded his head in greeting once Cliff was in the living room.
Cliff put up a hand in a still wave. "Hey."
"Since you're already here– I'm just gonna go now, can't be too careful." Damien grabbed his car keys from the kitchen counter, waving to the two. "I'll see you guys later!" With that, he hurried out the door.
Rowan waved and sighed. Once Damien was gone, he glanced up at Cliff nervously. "So, uh… it's been a while since we've seen each other, huh?"
"Yeah. Hear shit's been rough for ya." Cliff shook his head. "How ya been holdin' up?"
Rowan nodded a bit. "It… uh… yeah, it's been rough. The whole not being able to be alone thing has gotten worse, so… that's fantastic."
"Hot damn." Cliff shook his head. "Gol-ly, man, that sucks. I'm sorry."
