Unknown number to Remus

Sunday, 6pm

S.: Heyyy.

R.: Hey?

Should I know you?

S.: No, I don't think so.

Actually, maybe. Everything could be possible.

R.: You're talking nonsense.

S.: Ohhh how often did I hear these words.

R.: Sad story, bro.

But please tell me how you got my number.

S.: Ähm ya, sure.

So... I was in that lovely little bookshop in London that only sells lgbtq+ books and I saw the special edition of Song of Achilles and because I am literally addicted to this book I grabbed it, opened it and in that book on page 394 was a little paper with apparently your number and the words "write me if that's your favorite book" and because it certainly is, I texted you. Yup, end of the story.

R.: What's the name of the bookstore?

S.: Gay's the word.

R.: Omg I'm gonna kill her.

Wait, I'm right back.

S.: Äh sure.

Remus to Moonflower girl

Sunday, 6:34pm

R.: LILY JEAN EVANS

WHAT

IN

HELL

DID

YOU

DO

L.: Moons what's up, Boyyyy. Good to hear from you.

R.: Don't play innocent Lils.

Someone just texted me.

He said he got my number out of "Song of Achilles" in a bookshop in London.

Guess in which bookstore?

L.: Mhh I don't know. There are many bookstores in London. But tell me.

R.: Lily don't play dumb. Why do you put my number in random books?

L.: Not in random books. Just in one book. Your favorite book.

R.: Lils not to be conceited but i'm famous. I am not allowed to give strangers my number.

L.: Oh, come on, it's funny.

And I'm sure he doesn't know it's your number.

R.: He? You know, the person who has my number now?

L.: I don't actually know him. But I saw him a few times in "Gay's the Word" and he looks like he could be your type, and he is obsessed with Greek mythology (like you) so as I saw him walking in I smuggled your number into "Song of Achilles" because I knew he would see in that book because he is pinning over it since the beginning.

R.: Oh my gosh, you are so embarrassing. I can't believe it.

Now I have to deal with it. Thank you very much.

L.: Have fun Moons.

Oh, wait he is... well not cis, that I know for sure. I don't know his gender, but he wears this little necklace with his pronouns. Today it was he/him, but it changes, so maybe gender-fluid. I don't want to assume anything, so you have to ask ig.
