Nico had flopped down on his couch, his big baby of a dog sitting directly on his chest. But he could still be on his phone, so he didn’t mind too much. He pet his dog with one hand while scrolling through Twitter with the other. After awhile he got bored and FaceTimed one of his friends that had been at the cafe earlier. Nico kind of just rambled on for a bit before getting into the story of his car breaking down.
“Wait wait- and he just helped you?” His friend interrupted.
“Um…yeah?” Nico replied with a small shrug.
“And you let him help you?”
Nico rolled his eyes. “I’m not that stupid jeez, have a little faith in me.”
But Brenn's peace and quiet was soon interrupted when he felt his phone buzzing like crazy. His roommate had decided to tell everyone in the group about the fact that Brenn had willingly helped Nico, and now everyone had gone mad about it, asking him question and wondering ig he had a fever. Brenn just powered off his phone, not wanting to have to deal with this and closed his eyes. He didn't want to have to deal with any of this at the moment. Sure, he didn't like Nico but that didn't mean that he couldn't do something that was common courtesy or at least be polite, even if the guy was a jerk. An annoying jerk, but he was still a human too.
“Uh huh sure whatever.” The guy said, chuckling softly and Nico frowned a bit. He wasn’t super close friends with this guy, certainly not close enough for him to almost call Nico stupid.
“Anyway…” Nico said, trying to finish up the conversation as soon as possible.
Brenn sighed, leaning back on his bed, and reached for his powered off phone. "What to do now. . ." He was just tired at this point, but, he didn't want to go to sleep. Then he decided to have a littlebit of fun. He turned on his phone and texted Nico. He had the guy's number due to them being in a group chat and just for random reasons, although he had never texted him to begin with. But, he quickly sent a text asking if he had made it in.
Nico was still trapped on this phone call, the other seeming to not be able to get the message that Nico kind of didn’t want to talk anymore. He got a notification that he’d gotten a text. Quickly, he spoke up.
“Uhh..I’m gonna have to go, sorry. Bye.” He hung up the phone before the other guy could protest.
He opened the text, reading it and quickly responded with a simple “Yep.”
Brenn sort of breathed a sigh of relief, not exactly wanting to find out the next day that Nico's car had broken down again, and then have everyone blame him. Okay then, that's good then. He responded quickly, not really caring about how odd the situation might seem for the other boy, "I shouldn't be doing this, this is dumb. . ."
‘Yep. People find it weird that I let you help me apparently lol.’ He texted back. Figuring he had nothing better to do at the moment, he might as well talk to Brenn, even if it was just for a little bit. He’d take anything over sitting here being bored.
'Really? My phone nearly blew up so many people are worried about me. I mean I normally don't do anything for anyone, so." It was kind of nice talking to him, but still kind of weird.
‘Our friends are weird. Like seriously sometimes they get so gossipy.’ He replied, actually enjoying getting to talk to Brenn. Which was weird. And was also something he refused to acknowledge.
'It's upsetting, I just wish that they wouldn't bother people about this type of stuff, it's kinda rude. I mean, if I want to help someone, they shouldn't go nuts or whatever.' He sighed, Why am I talking to him again? This is weird, and why is he responding?
‘Yeah sometimes they just need to shut up and mind their own business.’ He replied before thinking of something. ‘Hey you wanna see something cool?’ He asked, shifting on the couch.
Bren shrugged, kind of confused by what he meant by cool, but he responded with a sure. Why not? It might actually be cool or something close to cool, who knows? He thought with a shrug while he waited, shifting his position on his bed a bit, trying to make himself feel more comfortable.
He moved a bit, whistling quietly. “Hey Sadie? Sadieeee” his dog picked her head up, looking at him. Nico snapped a quick picture of her, sending it to Brenn.
Brenn looked at the picture and chuckled a bit before responding, 'Wow, really cool. But cute dog. Would you like to see something cool too?' He knew that he had mentioned Moose once or twice to the guys, but they never really listened to what he had to say, so he figured that Nico probably didn't know about the little bird.
‘Sure thing.’ He replied. Sadie, having gotten annoyed at the sound of his camera going off, had gotten off his lap with a very offended look on her face. Nico chuckled under his breath and waited for Brenn’s reply.
Brenn rolled onto his side and smiled over at the little bird who had made himself comfortable on Brenn's pillow. "Hey Moose, want to smile?" He said with a chuckle as the bird cocked his head at him and made a few quiet whistles and chirps as he hopped around on the pillow, "Not dance, silly, smile." He said as he rolled his eyes and began to take a video of his bird just acting kinda dumb at the moment.
Nico smiled as he watched the video, chuckling softly. ‘Aw he’s a cutie.’ Nico texted back before looking over at Sadie. “Ma’am you have competition in being absolutely adorable, what are we gonna do.”
Brenn sent a smiley face in response and gently pet the bird. Moose squeaked happily at that and flapped his wings a bit, as if he was about to take off into flight. Brenn smirked a bit and offered his finger to the bird, "Oh no you don't, it's getting late, and you have a big day tomorrow, you get to see your friends remember?" He said to the little bird, who at that point looked kind of peeved to go to bed, and he let Brenn know.
Nico, assuming their conversation was over for the moment, set his phone down, going to sit down on the floor next to Sadie, laying his head on her side. “Soooo what are we thinking, you wanna go on a walk?” He asked the dog, who wagged her tail slightly in response.
((I have no good answers. . .))
((I don’t have any good answers at the moment either))
((Should we just timeskip or something?))
((Yeah let’s do that. Maybe at their next group hang out and all of their friends are still being annoying about the whole car breaking down thing?))
