ISO. "It's You and Me"

III.

A/N: Hi, I'm lacking motivation today tbh.  Might be a short chapter but we'll see, I'll try and detail it as best as I can.

Also, I have a C.ai addiction. 🙃

My eyes flutter open as I adjust to my bright surroundings, the light of daytime shines through my curtain.

It's been 3 days since I've joined the protocol, I've gathered information on the other agents and how they are, and I've also got an understanding of Iso, I don't exactly have him down, though.

I sigh, kicking my feet back, getting up as I open my window, letting the sunlight in as I retreat back to the comforts of my bed.

I grab my TV remote, popping something random on as background noise, scrolling through my phone.

I open "TikTok" before I begin scrolling. by habit, I check my inbox as I see "9+" notifications. As I'm scrolling through my follow requests, my gaze lowers, eyes catching on a specific profile.

The display name is "Iso 🎧" the profile picture being a lilac. I smile to myself as I accept the follow request, following him back as I also sort through the follow requests of my other companions.

After a bit, I put my phone down, deciding to get something to eat as I'm hungry and haven't eaten anything yet.

I get up, stretching shortly after as I turn the knob of my door, pushing it open before I begin walking out through the elongated halls.

As I make my way to the cafeteria, I notice a familiar man sitting down at one of the tables. Smiling as I approach him, I take a seat across from the eating man as he looks up at me before greeting me with a smile back.

"Hi!" I exclaim as he shortly replies,

"Hey." His voice echoes deeply in my ears as he continues to munch on what I can only assume is a sandwich.

His earbuds in, per usual, but it doesn't bother me too much as I, myself, get up and approach the kitchen cabinet, trying to find something for me to eat.

I land on an apple before I make my way back towards him, he's finished eating as he watches me approach him again, sitting down beside him.

He doesn't turn to look at me, I catch a glimpse of his face, replaced by what I can only assume is a look of confusion before his stoic facade quickly replaces it.

He turns to look at me, apologising for not being very sociable.

"I'm sorry, right now I would rather listen to music." He says to me before giving me a friendly smile

"Ah, it's okay." I reply before I shortly begin once more, "I can leave if you'd like."

His breath hitches at that before he shakes his head at me, closing his eyes as he leans back and sighs.

"You can stay if you want, it won't be very entertaining though, so feel free to leave if you get too bored." He replies.

I chuckle in reply "That's fine by me."

We sit there in silence as he listens to his music, doing something on his phone as I hop on my own phone, rearranging my playlists as his eyes wander from his phone to mine.

He side-eyes what I'm doing, glancing down before his attention reverts back to his own phone as he remarks,

"Ah, I like that song.. What was it, AEAO?"

I bring my head up, turning it to look at him before I smile in response. "Yeah, I enjoy it. It's very lighthearted, like a warm, sunny day."

He smiles before he shortly replies, "A warm, sunny day.. I like that." his eyes darting all over his phone as he fumbles with it in his hands

I giggle a little in response before I finally finish my apple, we went back to sitting in silence. A few minutes pass before his hand raises to his ear, picking his right earbud out as he hands it out to me, waiting suggestively for me to take it.

"Wanna listen?" He says as he turns his gaze onto me, I shiver as I make eye contact with the tall man. His eyes feeling like cold, purple hued orbs.

I nod as I take the earbud from him, my fingers grazing his own. I put it in my ear as he shuffles around, opening Spotify on his phone, shuffling through his playlist before landing on a playlist called "Main."

We sat there in silence, listening to music as I play little iPad kid games on my phone.

I sigh as an hour has already passed by, all whilst we were just sitting and listening to music. I hear a group of people approach the cafeteria as I glance over at Iso, his face evidently distasteful as we watch Jett's group walk in.

He sighs before closing his eyes again, bracing himself for the loud, lively chatter of the group, which certainly does come soon after

He taps me on the shoulder before gesturing to his earbud, I take it out and hand it to him as he gets up, putting it back in as he walks off, away from the group.

Jett stared at me, she gives me a friendly smile before continuing chatting with her friends.

I smile back at her as I get up, making my way back to my own room as I begin to lay down, I didn't do much today, I wasn't very productive and it was only 1PM.

I decided to nap as I had nothing else to do for the day, sighing as I look up at my ceiling.

A/N: Okay, I know I lied. I was genuinely going to make this a short chapter before I let myself get into the storyline. I'll be honest, I kind of freestyle these chapters, write and pray really. but I mean, if you've read this far you clearly enjoy my writing, so please, support me 🙏🏽
