Welcome back!//
Xiang hums softly as he writes on his calendar to take a day off on Saturday. He smiles as he returns to work. He hadn't been on a date in a while, so he wasn't sure what to do or what to wear. He shrugs and figured he'd figure it out later.
"Sorry Y'all, I have to head out," Harper called out, waving a goodbye. He had to go up to the main place of work, the Other Realm. Oh goody, the other realm, my favorite place to be pestered by everyone for not being there in ages.
"Ha! Tell me about it. Just cuz I'm always on stage doesn't mean I'm not worried 24/7. What if people find out who I am off-stage and hunt me down since they're anti-LGBTQ+? What if I still have lipstick smeared on my face? Everything under the sun, Elliot, gives me anxiety over the moon."
((also i'm back lol
Elliot laughed “honestly! Like people should just mind their damn business! Don’t even get me started on all the unsupportive parents”
((Welcome back!
((ty also ready for some tyler backstory
"AMEN! My parents… my parents sucked, to say the least."
Elliot was quiet for a second “y-yeah mine were the same”
((Yeeeee lets gooooo BACKSTORY
((WOOHOOO 26 MORE MINUTES OF SCHOOL))
"I bet mine were worse…" he trailed off
Elliot saw no point in arguing even though they knew they’d win. Then again, no one knows the truth.
((YEEEEE
((AGH IM OFF FOR THE NIGHT BYE
((OKIE BYEEEEEEE
((good morning!
"So, happy topics. Umm, I've got a show tonight. Wanna come?" Tyler starts blushing profusely. What am I thinking? Why did I just invite freaking Elliot of all people to one of my shows?? Will they even like it?
Mezzo, if I may. Could you please expand your replies. My minimum is three. I understand that you want to reply quickly, or school causes you to sort of rush things. But please keep the rules in mind. If you need to go back later and edit that's fine. But yes! Good morning.//
Xiang watches Harper go before he releases a pent up breath. Saturday was only two days away. He wrings the rag in his hands nervously. He brushes some hair from his face and gets back to serving customers.
((oh my god, i'll expand that reply right now, i'm so sorry!! finals and in-system stress have been… it's been something, to say the least, i'm so sorry!! i feel really bad
It's totally fine love! I'm just asking. :) //
They smiled “I’d love to!” They chuckled lightly at the blush on Tyler’s face. “Well you get flustered easily don’t you? That might be a problem for us sweetheart” they chuckled again, shoving him teasingly.
Tyler blushes harder(somehow) and grabs Elliot's hand. "I guess so, huh? What's your number? I'll text you the address of the theatre. The show starts at 9, I'd be there by 8:30, though, if I were you. I'll be there even earlier to make sure my makeup is done and stuff."
“Give me a second….” they fished around in their pockets before pulling out a marker and writing their number on his arm. “There you go”
"Thanks." Tyler tested out the number, making sure it worked. The texts read:
Hey, Elliot! It's Tyler.
The theatre is at 1433 Memorial Road
The show starts at nine, but be there by 8:30 for good seats :)
Elliot felt their phone buzz. “You really thought I’d give you a fake number?” They laughed quietly “it’d be pointless since you’d know where to find me”
"Ha, figure'd it'd be good to at least have it in my phone." Tyler said, face starting to de-red. "I actually need to go buy eyeliner, but I'll see you later."
“Looking forward to it. I’ll see you then!” Elliot turned to go take care of any customers that might need something. They honestly were pretty excited, they’d never actually gone on a date with anyone.
(can i stalk? I read the whole chat and love it so far!!)
(Sure, you're more then welcome to!)
(thanks! and can i drop a few comments now and then?)
(There's no one stopping you love.)
Xiang watches the interactions and smiles. "Elliot. Tyler. If I may. Tyler, get Elliot home before midnight. And both of you have fun okay?" he teased gently.
