eros

i'm walking down the hallway to the bathroom. 'down the hall and to the left' she said with a sneer. she was mean. there's two doors here. they're not marked. are they either or? which side is the mens room typically on? i guess i'm just gonna, pick and hope it's empty. door number one? locked. cool. great try eros. now all the people that aren't in this hallway watched you try to open a locked door. wait, she said to the left. FUCK, you are extra dumb tonight. i'm gonna knock and listen. knock. and. oh shit the people in there just yelled at me. fuck. why am i like this. i'm gonna lean against this wall. face the wall. lightly bang my head against the wall. yes this is good. i can feel this. what was in that jungle juice. it tasted like someone threw up in it.... someone probably did. why am i here. i wasn't even invited. i don't think i needed an invite though.

"are you okay?" a feminine raspy voice asked. i turn. geez, they're hot. they asked me a question.

"did you need an invite to come to this party?" nope, wrong answer. wrong answer to that question. they gave me a funny look and giggled to themself.

"no, i did not need an invite." they said with a smile. their teeth were pink! and green! and blue!! what is that? "you're eros, right?"

"you're teeth are multicolored!" i said, not answering their question again. "fuck, yeah that's me. how did you know." they gave a melodic laugh and pushed their hair away from their face.

"we're in the same theatre class. i always see you in the corner of the room but, it seems i don't get to see enough of you." they said, biting back their lip. "and i'm glad you like my teeth. i'm testing out some tooth coloring shit from a brand that pays me to wear it in instagram pictures." holy cow. they're an influencer? woah!

"you're an influencer!" they smiled wider "why are you talking to me?" they snorted.

"cause i was on my way to the bathroom and i saw a cute boy hitting his head against the wall and i wanted to see what was up." oh, that makes sense. wait. wait. cute??? they called me cute! don't fuck this up. they think you're cute. don't. fuck-

"did you know that pac man used to be called puc man." why the fuck are you quoting scott pilgrim.

"but they changed the name cause kids would vandalize the machines and make it say 'fuc man'." they finished my sentence. they know scott pilgrim. i think i love them.

"you know scott pilgrim?" i said.

"yeah duh. but i don't wanna be the ramona to your scott. she's low key basic." yeah, wait. wait. they talk too fast.... no they don't. you just have a dumb slow brain. get back on track dummy.

"yeah, knives is better. but not because she's in high school, because she knows what's good and she doesn't have super powered exes that would wanna fight me to the death." i said giggling towards the end.

"we'll if that's the deal breaker, then i have some bad news for you." we both laughed. fuck their laugh is amazing. the pink lights made their skin glow. their curly hair was split dyed pastel pink and blue and had rainbow butterfly clips in it. they're so cool. why are they talking to me. say something cool.

"what's your name and which evil ex do i have to kill to get your number." they giggled and pulled their phone out of their bag. it was shaped like a chinese takeout container. their phone case had puffballs and googly eyes on it.

"i really like your phone case." they smiled. "it reminds me of arts and crafts in elementary school." stop talking.

"yeah! that's vibe i was going for." they turned their phone screen towards me with their name and number. 'mick' mick. great name. i put their contact in my phone with a mouse emoji.

"you have a great name." cool thing to say eros.

"thanks! i picked it myself." they said with the cutest smile.

the couple who was occupying the bathroom walked out and gave me a dirty look.

"excuse me, why are you looking at him like that." mick said. i blushed and looked down. the girl looked at mick and said she was sorry and walked away with her head down.

"you're so fucking cool." i said with total heart eyes. they smiled again and pushed their hair away from their face again. they looked back down at their phone and tapped a couple of times on the screen.

"do you have tiktok?" they asked, biting their lip again. fuck they are going to kill me.

"yeah duh." i used their quote from earlier. callbacks lol. i pulled out my phone and pulled tiktok up. i showed them my profile and they laughed. "what's so funny?"

"why is your name biscuit boy?" they said still laughing. i thought about it.

"my sister gave me that nickname cause i always bake her stuff when i'm home. i thought it was cute and fun." i smiled to myself remembering when my sister and i were drunk and she gave me the nickname.

"i really like it. it is cute and fun." there's that smile again. now i'm sure i'm in love. they followed me and i got the notification. "well hello mick.y.rat" they giggled.

"do you get it?" i laughed.

"yeah of course i do."
