"so wheres the bin??" alejandro askes his good friend duncan. duncan nelson lives in a big apartment complex, ale shouldve known the answer but just wanted to make sure.
"how many times do i have to tell u, i have a bin bag but the coffee will spill through." right.
"just throw it out the window its no harm" duncans says. alejandro hates littering its not those sympathetic videos of polars bears. he just feels bad doing- duncan snatches the 1/8 filled cup and chucks it out the window
"HOLY SHIT DUNCAN" alejandro says in an annoyed tone.
he pops his head out the window before seeing a guy sitting on the bench reading and the cup bops his head as he looks up to see alejandro. he turns properly so ale could see his face, it was abit long. his hair was a mullet and he had a couple of wrinkles on his forehead as he frowned, his clothing choice was abit odd for this weather. it was 3 layers, a blouse-y shirt, blue buttony top and a red vest. for bottoms he wore cargo shorts. he recognised the guy but didnt know from where, the other man answers before he can think about it.
"slimy eel??" he felt sarcasm radiate from his speech duncan pops his head out by now
"noah?" duncan says.
"i know ur still mad about me calling u an eel but the fuck why are u throwing coffee cups at me?" he shouts at them
"that wasnt me" alejandro says he turns his head at duncan crossing his arms. duncan pauses before whispering to ale
"should we let him in so he can dry off?"
"uh yes!"
"ok ok u sound like my mom" duncan says rolling his eyes before looking back down at the scrawny short young adult who was once his friend.
"would you like us to help u?" alejandro says down below. noah stops to think, does he want to be a person with a criminal record's apartment? you know what, he couldnt care less.
"sure" noah says. alejandro tells noah there apartment number. stepping into the lobby he feels the blast of cold air. he quickly approaches the escalator as he presses "7" soon the solid metal rectangle starts going up to floor 7. as the door opens up alejandro is standing there
"hey.." noahs says
"hey." alejandro replys back. theres a thick layer of tension from many years ago. its been only 4 years but the tension was still there.
opening the door the pair walk into the apartment duncan glances at the two of them before noticing the coffee in noahs hair and dripping down his face, it was only a tiny bit but it abit annoying to him.
"u should probably take a shower to get that coffee out." duncan pipes up breaking the ice. noahs hesitates.
"sure.." he sits up from the sofa and walks into the bathroom. (no im not writing him in the shower u weirdos) he steps out, fuck. he has no towel. this just awkward
"can someone help?" noah calls out. just the person who he didnt want to see, noahs hair was soaking and he wasnt wearing anything, and it just so happens that alejandros the one to come over.
"yes mi amor?"
"can u get me.. wait did u say mi amor?- get me a towel and some clothes?" alejandro looks shocked. not about the whole mi amor thing but how that smartass didnt think of getting clothes, oh well it was no problem until there was one. whos boxers. noah obviously didnt plan for this to happen but thats just how it is. life hated him. he just decided to not think much and grab one of his pairs. giving noah the change of clothes and a towel alejandro walks back to duncan.
"what did he want"
"clothes"
"dont tell me u gave him mine"
"of course not because i know how to do laundry"
duncan flips him off
"whats alejandro done now" noah calls over as he walks into the living room.
"ale mocking me for not being able to do laundry"
"oh i would too" duncan flips noah off too. there was tension, duncan could tell, he always could hint about feelings that havent been discussed. noahs and alejandro glance at eachother awkwardly before duncan stops the silence
"anyone want tea?"
"oh yes please" noah says
and alejandro shrugs. duncan gets up from the sofa and walks out the room supposedly to the kitchen. alejandro being the social person he is decides to make conversation.
"so, are u still in contact with anyone?"
"yea"
"who?"
"owen, izzy, eva, gwen and cody."
"nice"
duncan walks back into the room.
"im bored" duncan says downing his tea than he shouts at them
"lets play truth or dare!!" he jumps up, so do alejandro and noah.
after a couple of rounds have gone by its duncans turn to ask
"hey al truth or dare!!"
"-jandro and dare."
"i dare u to kiss noah!"
..
...
....
noah looks over at alejandro, alejandro looks at him before bringing him in.
(what the fuck am i doing with my life 😝🙏)
