The Other Side (Whitty x Ruv)

9 - Time Apart

A/N: I sincerely apologize about the fact that school was invented to delay everything you do.

Tabi's Point of View

That worked out, I suppose.

Agoti needs to stop being so blunt. I swear, he drives me crazy.

"Bro, I finally devised a plan for our...well, plan!" Agoti exclaimed.

"Great, you finally use a big word for once in your life." I replied sarcastically.

Ignoring my comment, he interjected his plan with pride:

"Alright Tab, step one: we go to my workplace so we can know Ruv better. Step two: we go home and leave the two by themselves since we'll be goin' on a date." Agoti smirked.

"Get to the point, asshole."

"Sheesh, okay."

"Step three: magic."

I shook my head. Of course that was the last step. It's not like his braincells suddenly reappeared. 

"I'm still here, y'know."

Agoti and I turned over to face Ruv. He stared back in annoyance with some noticeable embarrassment.

"That work for you, Ruv?" I asked. "I know Agoti's stupid, but he seems like he knows what he's doing."

"...You're lying."

"Correct."

Agoti got up and stormed off, saying "FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC YA KNOW!"

Ruv looked at him funnily.

"...That just happened." He said. "He does that all the time. He's such a child." I responded. "Now come on, we'll get going in a bit."

. . .

Sipping on a large cup of black coffee, Ruv watches me order a drink in line.

"Hmm, I guess I'll try the mocha latte?" I requested.

"Woah, you're going sweet today? That's a change." Agoti chuckled.

He swiftly poured and mixed my drink like a professional, and I couldn't help but stare at my boyfriend in awe.

"Here!" He speedily handed me the mocha latte without spilling it. "Thanks." I say, then head to my table with my other comrade.

I heard Agoti pout because of the fact that I didn't pull off any romantic gestures. Didn't I tell him earlier that I dislike public displays of affection? Not to mention, the rest of his customers were looking at me in confusion, as I didn't take out my wallet. I have no need, he doesn't accept my money anyway.

"Hey, the goat guy didn't pay for his order!" A brown-haired man shouted out loud. Suddenly, a few others chime in, responding by saying "Yeah!"

I paused in my tracks, and I stared at Agoti as perspiration trickled down his face. "Well, the goat guy is my husband! Hehe..."

Agoti caught my gaze, and I gave him the "Are you kidding?" face. "What? It's the best I can do!" He mouthed.

"Hmph! Doesn't sound convincing at all..." the man started. "But since you seem to have made the cut to be married, but I'll take your word for it."

I exhaled the breath I was subconsciously holding, then finally took my seat. Agoti's 19 anyway.

Ruv looked at me blankly, expecting to hear something.

"Okayy, comrade." I take a sip and then stared back. "Woah, that's a lot sweeter than I anticipated." I look at the plastic, and notice an X mark on the printed box that says "extra sweet" next to it. I hide back my anger for once. Ruv doesn't need to see another Russian like me angry.

"So- what's your background?" I forwardly ask. "Hm, that one will need to be discussed privately." Ruv responded.

"To the alley then. Bye Agoti." I wave to the cashier, who looks at us weirdly. He wouldn't understand.

After heading our way, I huffed and said, "I'm listening."

As Ruv tells me his origin, from his occupation and relations, I'm not surprised. At least, for most of the time.

"I've never told a single soul this, and only my friend Sarv knows." Ruv began. "I'm immortal."

. . .

Ruv and I say our goodbyes and I head back in to the Friday Night Funkin Café to check in with Agoti.

Luckily, the lines were now empty and the sign "closed" was shown as I walked in. It's currently 7:00 PM.  We had our nice conversation at 11. Damn, maybe I talk too much. Don't take it too personally, it only happens with Russians.

"How did it go?" Agoti questioned. I'm pretty sure he still doesn't trust me because I led Ruv into an alleyway.

"Fine. Typical Russian crap." I rolled my eyes as best as I could.

"Good. At least we'll know how to deal with him and what to do when he's around Whitty." Agoti moved closer to me and patted my hat gently. "After all, he's just like you!"

I scoffed. "In a way."

A/N: I will not be able to post until a few months due to some upcoming events (maybe even until the summer)

JK I WILL TRY MY BEST TO POST MORE OFTEN (HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!)
