** luna's pov **

as soon as i got into the bathroom i immediately filled the sink with water and a small amount of laundry detergent, mixing it a bit before stripping my clothes off and pushing them under the water. hopefully soaking them would pull any excess alcohol from the dress so it won't stain when i throw it in the wash. this was going to be what i like to call my self care showers. aka showers that are unnecessarily long which include a full concert, shaving my entire body, and an encore to the concert (in that order). my shower lasted about an hour and a half and by the time i has gotten out all that was left to do was skincare, drying my hair, moisturizing, and then listening to music because that's the best part.

i put the dress in the washer and drained the sink as i finished the rest of my routine. it's very important that i have no interruptions during this process otherwise i feel like it's not fully finished. my phone was on do not disturb for the time being and once i turned that off all my notifications came flooding in. i looked through all of my notifications before seeing one from an unknown number. it was delivered about 40 minutes ago and i immediately knew who it was. the message didn't include a name but considering the context of the message it was either the guy from the restaurant or somehow someone else from the restaurant saw what happened and magically got my number.

** text convo **

unknown: did your dress make a speedy recovery or do i need to look up the fastest way to ship a new one to my house

luna: no need, the procedure was difficult but it's recovering as we speak. the doctor said it should recover wonderfully

unknown: damn i was really hoping i'd have an excuse to see you again

luna: to be fair, you promised me a bite to eat so there's your excuse

unknown: i never got an answer but i'll take that as my yes before you take it back. oh, i'm christian by the way. kras for short

luna: i'm luna, i go by lu though

kras 😌: well lu, how about this weekend we take up that lunch opportunity and go to my favorite cafe that also sells amazing pasta

luna: normally when people hype up a place like that it ends up not being as good

kras 😌: i guess you'll have to find out for yourself

luna: fine 🙄 i'll see you this weekend but go to sleep it's getting late

kras 😌: you'll most definitely be seeing me before this weekend. and a rockstar never sleeps

"a rockstar never sleeps" i giggled as i shook
my head at that message. he had a side to him that i was so comfortable with already and i just met him. if you couldn't tell already, i'm very closed off to people, especially new people. i don't hate the new idea of making new friends, but when you come out of a toxic relationship and a toxic group of friends things get so much harder. you no longer want to open up to anybody out of fear of it being used against you, you push a lot of people away due to trust issues that you've gained. i never would've imagined someone putting me under so much stress and giving me so much trauma but here we are. i definitely know a lot more now than i did before and im extra careful about the people i bring into my life. i had a good feeling about kras, surely he wouldn't hurt me right?

i need to stop stressing myself out. i need to remember not everyone has bad intentions and even if i make a mistake and let the wrong person in that it's okay, we all have to learn somehow. enough of that though, i decided i was going to clear my mind by listening to some music. music was my escape from reality, if i was stressed, upset, angry, it didn't matter what feeling i had. music helped with everything. and since kras had messaged me i couldn't help but look up his band and listen to some of their music. as i out my headphones in and pressed play i went into the laundry room and pulled the dress out of the dryer. i held it so the light was hitting it just to make sure everything had washed out and it did, but i already knew that. i like to say i have the magic touch when it comes to things. stains, knots in jewelry, knots in string. you name it i can probably get it out.

i decided to hang the dress up on a rack i have in my laundry room just until i decide to bring all the close into my room and put them where they're supposed to go. i have an issue with cleaning but that's nothing new. just as i was getting into the music and starting my dance party my airpods announced a notification, it was kras again.

kras: my band mates are really getting on my nerves tonight can i come over?

luna: of course you can, my door is always open

i sent him the address and locked my phone, sliding it into the pocket of my shorts. did i really just invite a stranger to my house? yes. this could go one of two ways, it could be great and bring us even closer. or it could go horrible and i'll never speak to him again. i guess only time will tell. and with that being said i left the laundry room and went into the living room, putting my airpods away and turning the tv on. i dont care what anyone says, reality tv is very entertaining sometimes and nobody will ever change my mind.

after waiting for a bit i finally heard a knock on the door, getting up and opening it to reveal the dirty blonde i've come to know as kras.
