Heads or Tails? - Malum AU

Chapter 1

Calum sighed as his phone buzzed - again.

Yet this time it wasn't Ashton trying to tell him another joke.

It was an unknown number.

07525 755 690:
Hey we met at the coffee shop earlier, I was the one that served you :D xx

Calum read the message over again and again, but each time he became more confused.

He hadn't even left the house today, let alone gone to the coffee shop to meet anyone.

So he decided to reply.

Calum:
I'm sorry, you must be mistaken. I didn't go to a coffee shop today.

And almost immediately he got a reply.

07525 755 690:
Really? I must've written that girls number wrong then

07525 755 690:
So what's your name?

Calum:
Um I don't know you

07525 755 690:
I'm not seeing your point.

07525 755 690:
If you tell me you name then you can know me

Calum:
You're not gonna quit are u?

07525 755 690:
Oh no. Most definitely not

Calum:
My names Calum. Calum Hood.

07525 755 690:
Well Calum Hood, you can call me The Future Mr Hood

And since Calum didn't have anything else to call him, he went along with it.

Calum:
Are you always this irritating?

The Future Mr Hood:
Oh you betcha

Calum:
You wanna tell me your real name?

The Future Mr Hood:
Hmm. No.

The Future Mr Hood;
Lets play a game

Calum:
Like what?

The Future Mr Hood:
Heads or tails, you choose one and that's what I'll fxck

Calum:
...Bye

The Future Mr Hood:
Ah come on, we're meant to get married

The Future Mr Hood:
We were gonna buy a house in the suburbs

The Future Mr Hood:
It's not too late to get a three legged dog and have 5 kids

Calum laughed in spite of himself, before replying.

Calum:
Leave

The Future Mr Hood:
Do you really want me to?

Honestly, Calum didn't want to stop talking to him.

He was most definitely enjoying their conversation.

But due to the brunette boy being lost in his thoughts he forgot to reply - not that he would've done anyway.

The stranger took Calums silence as a powerful "No" to his question so continued to annoy him.

The Future Mr Hood:
But seriously, lets play a game. A guessing game.

Calum:
I don't understand...

The Future Mr Hood:
You have to find out who I am

The Future Mr Hood:
I already know who you are, in fact we've met before

Calum:
Not at the coffee shop that you've worked at though, right?

The Future Mr Hood:
Nuh-uh. Its shouldnt be too hard, I'll leave you some clues

But Calum didn't need convincing.

He needed something exciting to spice up his life, and this was exactly it.

So he agreed.

Calum:
So where do you live?

The Future Me Hood:
London

Calum:
Makes sense since we've apparently met before

Calum:
Where about in London?

The Future Mr Hood:
Are you going to hunt me down and kill me? Because if you are then I can't tell you..

Calum:
...

The Future Mr Hood:
I live in Islington with my friend Louis

And no one had to know that Calum smiled when he found out that the stranger lived in the same town as him.

Yes, he might be stupid to be giving his information to a stranger.

Yes, it might be reckless to be playing this game with a stranger.

And yes, he really liked this stranger, even after having met a couple hours ago.

But they weren't exactly strangers if they knew each other, even if it was only a name, right?

He didn't know who the 'mystery texter' was, but he was definately planning to figure it out.

And quick.
