Feeling someone watching him, Brenn put his phone down and sort of joined the conversation, saying something every so often to keep his mind off the date or whatever the other guy considered it to be. Then, for the first time during the gathering, he grinned, but only because the barista had brought over their drinks. He quickly grabbed him and took a few sips of it, his seeming exhaustion from earlier fading and he became a bit more lively. Then he felt someone looking at him again, this time he looked around and realized that Nico had been just staring at him. "What?" He mouthed to the other guy, kind of glaring at him.
Nico moved his eyes off of Brenn and went back to focusing on the conversation. His own drink came a few minutes later and he just quietly sipped it.
Brenn rolled his eyes a little bit, just ignoring the other guy's behavior, just thinking that he was being weird or something. He was getting a little bit bored of the conversation and fell silent again, turning to look out the window. Why do I even come to these things, I swear to God, they're so dumb.
Nico slowly began to talk more again, contributing frequently to the conversation. It wasn’t really anything super important. He very naturally fit himself into the conversation, always seeming to know the right thing to say. After a few more minutes, Nico got a phone call. He checked the caller ID and groaned before promptly declining the call.
((Okay, I uhm, have a tiny bit of an inkling of an idea for their interaction here. Like all the other guys slowly like leave and it's kind of just the two of them and they kind of get into an argument or something?))
((Sounds good. I was low key struggling trying to think up of some drama for them lmao))
((Should I post from where they're the last two?))
((That’d be great thanks))
Soon, Brenn realized that he was really the only person at the table, well except for Nico. He started to move to leave, then he decided to stay. "Hey, uhm Nico, I hate to bother you, but why exactly were you staring at me like the entire time I was here? I mean, I know I'm hot, but dude you need to chill." He was also a pretty self centered guy too, if Nico couldn't tell from his words.
He scoffed, rolling his eyes. “Wow of course, you automatically think I’m attracted to you just because I’m the gay guy. Very creative. I was looking at you because I was bored dude, fucking chill.”
Brenn crossed his arms, glaring at him, "Hhmph, I've never heard of a person who just stares at a person when they're bored, that makes absolutely no sense to me." He decided to ignore the part were Nico pretty much called him out on the gay joke, "And I am fine, if anything it's taking automatic offense about a joke, I was just joking."
“If that was you ‘joking’ then you seriously suck at actually being funny. That’s probably why outside of our little group, no one really likes you.” He knew he was being really rude but he couldn’t find it in himself to care about that right now.
Brenn just shook his head at him moving out of the booth, he was done with the conversation, and done with Nico, "Yeah, okay, no matter how much I would like to stay and continue this sophomoric conversation with you. I have to go." He said grabbing his cardigan and pulling it on, "And I do think you should know, if it wasn't obvious, I really just don't like you. And if you can't see why, I'll tell you. You're pushy, insensitive, not courteous of other people's time and money, and just overall a whiny emo kid that I don't have time to deal with." He muttered glaring at the other boy.
((Where’s the lie though honestly XD))
At first he didn’t respond to any of Brenn’s insults, merely muttering “good riddance” as Brenn stood to leave. “I would list all the reasons why I don’t like you but frankly it’s too long and not worth my time.”
Brenn rolled his eyes, growing more angry but trying to hide it. "Whatever, I have to leave anyways, so I guess we'll have to wait to hear it? Won't we?" He started to walk away from the table, "Or really I don't plan on listening to you for a while?"
Nico smirked, pleased that he’d managed to get under Brenn’s skin. “Whatever. Just get lost, dude. I’m sick of looking at your dumb face.” As much as he was enjoying this, he knew sooner or later they’d both get kicked out for disturbing everyone.
Brenn eyes formed into slits glaring at Nico, and before he lost his cool muttered, "Same here." And stalked off out of the coffee shop. OH MY GOD, I HATE HIIIIIIIIIIIMMMM. He thought to himself trudging down the street to his apartment. Now he was completely pissed off and was going to have crappy day thanks to Nico, and to himself, but he wouldn't admit it.
Nico went back to sipping at what remained of his drink, appearing rather calm considering he’d just yelled at someone. “Well that was fun..” he remarked halfheartedly. He’d always had a temper, and over time arguing had just become a sort of hobby.
((Idek where to go from this?))
((Honestly same this is kind of a hard plot to keep going continuously.))
((Maybe more awkwardness?))
((Yeah. Maybe put them in a long term situation where they have to work together on something?))
((Yeah. I hate to be extremely stereotypical but we could pull the good old having to work on something together for school? Or they could get lost somewhere together? Either of those sound appealing to you?))
((Or, wait, I just had an idea, we never exactly said that Nico made it back, maybe he starts heading over to his car, having some car problems or something, and like the only person left around the cafe is Brenn, and like some awkward bonding time there?))
((Ooh I like that actually))
((Thank you! Would you like me to start it?))
((If you don’t mind, that’d be great!))
Brenn had stayed sitting in his car for a little bit, responding to some texts from the guy from earlier. But after a few minutes of just sitting there he watched Nico come over to his car, and Brenn inwardly groaned, Great. . . He watched the guy get into his car, and from where he was parked he could hear the car trying to turn over, but nothing was happening. Brenn rolled his eyes and watched a little bit more until he started to feel bad for the guy, just a tiny bit. He got out of his car and walked over to the man's car, his jumper cables in hand, "Need some help?" Brenn said with a bit of a smirk.
Nico, who had been spending the past few minutes cursing at his car under his breath, looked up when Brenn spoke, his eyes narrowed. But after a second, his hostility faded. He sighed quietly, “yeah I guess I do need help…”
