"Well, what other options do we have? Nobody knows what's going on, and we don't really know where else to start." He pulled out his phone and started punching in the number. "It's worth a shot, anyway." The phone started to ring, and he waited, impatiently drumming his fingers on the table.
Lila looked down at her phone next to her. It was ringing. She smiled and picked it up. She didn't recognize the number, which probably meant it was the 'no straights allowed' people from the coffee shop. Lila answered the call and held the phone up to her ear. "Hello?"
Matt nodded in agreement before unscrewing the cap to one of his flasks and began to play with it while he waited with Asura for the girl to answer. He quickly grew impatient and began to drink heavily, draining the flask of its alcoholic contents. He put the empty flask on the table and wiped away a bit of liquid with the back of his hand, letting out a rather loud, happy sigh as he smirked at Asura.
Asura tensed up, a little bit startled. He didn't know why, but he expected the girl not to answer. He cleared his throat and spoke a bit quieter than usual. "Hi, this is Asura. Are you the girl from the cafe?"
Lila resited the urge to snort. "That's me. Finally decided to give me a call?" she asked, smirking.
"I wanted to know how exactly you could help us," he said, shrugging. "People are going missing. I wasn't going to wait any longer."
"How noble of you. Well if you want answer's – wait, how many people do you have involved in this who would want to come along?" Lila asked.
Asura paused, thinking for a moment. "How many… shit, I don't know, I didn't count." He huffed, trying to remember who exactly was all a part of this. He hadn't seen that one straight chick since last night, and she seemed hesitant, so he wouldn't count her. That left him, Matt, Rain, Yesim, and the one girl that he hadn't really talked to, so… "Five?"
Lila thought for a moment. "Yes, that should work. Meet me at the coffee shop at midnight sharp. Only bring the five people. If you have to bring anyone else, contact me at least three hours before our meeting time. Got it?"
Asura groaned in frustration. "Midnight? Seriously? I'm going to have to lose another night of sleep for this?"
Matt raised his eyebrows at Asura when he heard something about staying up until midnight again. "Heh, aye can keep ya entertain'd 'till then if ya wanna," Matt chuckled lowly to Asura, finally putting the cap back on the empty flask.
(AAAAHHHHHH WHY DO I LOVE THIS)
(i legit almost spit out my water when reading this from laughing)
"Sorry, I legitimately did not choose the time, I swear. Besides, we're in college, it's what we do. Don't worry though, you'll have a little time to sleep. You can rest your head on your drunk boyfriend's shoulder. And he better not be obnoxious, or he's not coming, got it?"
(ah. this is why I love using matt lmao)
(we all love matt tho)
Asura tried to ignore what Matt said, focusing his attention on the phone call. "He's not my boyfriend. I'll try to keep him under control, though." He said. "See you at midnight." With that, he hung up, and turned his attention back to his not-boyfriend. "If you want to come with everyone, you're going to have to be good. That might mean ditching alcohol again."
(lmao "not-boyfriend" takes me back to the "really good friends" incident omg)
"Wh'ell then if aye can't hav' mah liquor then aye need a guud substitute ya can provide… mah 'nawt-boifriend'…" Matt trailed off into a smirk and he leaned forward, making his face get closer to Asura's, even though he's short af.
(omg that was fucking great)
Asura could feel himself blushing. He looked away and stepped back, resisting the urge to fan himself because damn how did the room get that warm that fast? Or was that just him? "I'll text the others, then we can wait in my dorm or something until we have to leave. My roommate left for vacation in Italy this morning, so there's no one else there…"
Rain started walking backwards as she got more bored of THE walking.
She felt her phone buzz. She stopped and gave Yesim a quick look, meaning, “wait for mee…”
Rain opened her phone and saw a message.
Yesim nodded and quickly stopped walking, waiting for Rain.
(chanting kiss kiss kiss)
(kISS KISS FALL IN LOVE)
Axtin felt his phone buzz in his pocket. Reaching for it, he pulled it out. Turning to Bastian still in the driver's seat, he read off the message he received. "Says we need to meet there at midnight," he said with a sigh. Man he hated having to crawl out of bed so late at night. Or was it early? Either way, it still sucked.
(kISS KISS FALL IN LOVE)
(I fucking snorted at that oml)
(good lmao)
