Odd One Out › A Vikklan AU

Chapter 13

posting these two together since they're basically the exact same thing. so yeah. don't get your hopes up oops 

Noting consent from Vik, Lachlan proceeded to click the call button. Voice call only, out of habit, and he hoped that the other didn't mind him doing so.

The calling noises continued for a few seconds before halting, and Vik's contact image popped up in the middle of his screen.

This is it. "Hello?" Lachlan called tentatively, searching for some form of response to confirm that it was indeed working.

A few moments later, he got a greeting in return. He smiled at the success.

"So, what's goin' on?" Casual chat, Lachlan, now don't mess this up. You don't want another person thinking that you're lonely and have no friends. Although to be fair, it is true.

"Not much. Uhm... Nothing I can't handle. What about you?" was the response that he got.

Lachlan couldn't place it, but there was something just off about his words. He decided not to investigate further, however, and simply replied with a statement expressing his boredom. 

Vik gasped and said, "Hey! You calling me boring?"

It took a while for Lachlan to realize he was only joking. When he did figure it out, however, he laughed and wondered how he could've been so silly. "No, no, I didn't mean it like that!

"You seem like a nice person, I mean. Like you could keep me company."

"My name's not Vincent."

Lachlan couldn't help but laugh at that. It was quite a clever pun, in all reality.

As he laughed, Lachlan was dimly aware of a faint knocking in the background. Vik fell silent, and although Lachlan couldn't see it, he was probably nervous about something.

"Uh... S-sorry Lachlan, but I have to go.  I think someone needs me."

And with that, he was gone.
