Later that night, Alexis lay down on his bed, glaring at his phone. He was debating for the last ten minutes if he should just shoot Kenjiro a text to ask for his advice. Thinking about birthday gifts for his cousins proved to be more complicated than he had expected.
With a sigh, he finally took the phone number that Kenjiro gave him from his pocket, tapping his number onto his phone, sending him a message.
Alexis: Hey, you got a minute?
The reply then came up almost instantly,
Kenjiro: Wow, I didn't expect you to send me a text this early!
What's up? Girl problems? ;)
Alexis rolls his eyes, shooting him another text. "Why does everyone jump to conclusions that it's that.." he thought to herself.
Alexis: No, I just need some advice. You have a girlfriend right?
Kenjiro: Hey, Odette is off-limits >:c
Wait, since when did you care about romance, Mr. Ice prince?
Alexis could already imagine that mischievous smirk on Kenjiro's face as he typed.
Alexis: It's not that kind of advice.
I just need help in getting a gift.
Kenjiro: Oh? Who's the lucky girl?
Is it who I think it is? (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Alexis: Gabrielle and Gehlai
Kenjiro: Gabrielle too?
I thought it was Gehlai's birthday?
Alexis: You do realize they're twins right?
Kenjiro: Oh yeah–
My bad.. "૮₍ ˶•⤙•˶ ₎ა
I can ask Odette for Gabrielle's preferences, but I don't think Gehlai would be into what she likes. She's got more of the rock vibes, doesn't she?
Alexis: Probably.
Kenjiro: Dude, she's your cousin–
Do you know who else close to Gehlai you could ask?
Alexis stared at the ceiling for a while, not knowing what to respond. His social circle wasn't exactly broad. But he did know one person who could possibly know. He sighed, already knowing what Kenjiro was going to reply.
Alexis: Yeah.. Hanaria.
Kenjiro: Oho, the plot thickens ( 〃● ₃● ) ~
Why don't you ask her then?
Alexis: It's not that big of a deal, I can just figure it out on my own.
Kenjiro: Hey, it's not bad to ask someone for help sometimes.
Don't be so stubborn man, I'll go ask Sheila for Hanaria's number
So you can both move to the next stage (๑>•̀๑)
Alexis stares at the screen for a while if it was really necessary. He then sighs in defeat and answers.
Alexis: Fine, whatever.
Kenjiro: Look at you, Mr. Independent. Finally caving in and accepting help! ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)
I'll get you her number, just don't stare at the ceiling for an hour before texting her so she won't think you're a creepy stalker who sends texts in the middle of the night ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
