Matt lazily reached for his scroll. Reading the newest text from Augustus, he sighed. "Sorry, dude! I'll be a little late," said the message. Matt was getting used to it, though. Augustus was constantly late, and Matt had accepted it.
Still lying in bed, Matt traced a small spell circle. A surprisingly realistic Augustus appeared. As Matt stared at his illusion, he didn't notice the text from Augustus saying that he was almost at the smaller boy's house.
"I'm afraid that if I don't do this soon, I'll be too late." Matt bit his lip and continued. "It's hard for me, but.." He looked away. "I'm just.. just scared." He reached up and grabbed the illusion in a soft kiss. "To be late with this," he mumbled against artificial lips, again not noticing the text from Augustus remarking that Matt had left the door open.
Cupping the illusion's strangely warm cheek, the brown-haired boy smiled sadly. "Anyway, you're just a dumb illusion." Matt waved away the illusion, but instantly jumped back in shock.
Augustus- the real one- was standing at his door, looking even redder than Matt's illusion.
