Exasperation

24 | Small Steps

I forgot this whole entire plot of the story ！！！

Espresso pushes up his glasses, it seems he had fallen asleep.
He rubbed his eyes, slowly rising up from his chair. His back ached as he twisted his neck.
The rain was rough, it slammed against his closed windows, bringing a slight fog.
He crashes on his bed, beginning to plug his phone into an outlet.
His legs felt sore, they writhed in pain as he took his cloak off his back.
Staring up at the ceiling, he remembered how he had abandoned Madeleine. He shut his eyes tight as he checked the date

(idk like a month since they left sorry)

He widened his eyes as he wiped the alarm clocks screen.

(it read the same date)

He sighed, slumping back into his pillow as his phone signaled.
He unlocked his phone, checking his notifications, having numerous calls from Madeleine, a few texts from Raspberry, and a few others.
He ignored them, putting his phone on silent and getting comfortable in his bed

Madeleine sat at a table, holding a shot and speaking loudly to Affogato, who already seems to have dozed off.

"Blah blah blah blah- Hey are you even listening to me?"

"Mhm." Affogato responds, wiping his eyes.

"Okay, so like I was saying-"

"Yeah, but seriously? He could've been honest about it."

Latte spoke, while putting out her hands to gesture.

It seems they had been there for a while. Just talking. Latte loves a good conversation, so she wasn't upset. Gingerbrave is a great listener aswell.

"I agree. That's so wrong!" Gingerbrave exclaimed, agreeing to what Latte had said.

They were talking about Espresso as a kid.

Affogato had his head against the table, dead asleep as Madeleine had moved the couch to rest. He had his phone charged into an outlet, his body under a thin blanket and his armor set up upon a coffee table.
He dropped his sword, after pointing it a dozens of things he noticed. His sword clattered on the ground, waking Affogato.

"Hello? Go upstairs. Remember your room?"

"Right." Madeleine rolled off the bed, balling up his blanket into a small ball.
He then throws it towards Affogato who still sat at the table.

"Thanks." Affogato said, his voice muffled due to his face in his inner elbow.

Madeleine raced up the stairs, leaping onto his bed.
He wondered what Espresso was up to.

—★

Espresso couldn't fall asleep. He couldn't stop feeling guilty for leaving Madeleine. He knows he probably couldn't make it without him. Or maybe he's just having his doubts.
Madeleine isn't the most trustworthy cookie you could probably think of.

He held his hands together, staring at his ceiling as light burst through his blinds.
It was early in the morning.
His phone vibrates, he checks the number.

unknown?!?!??!?
