Weightless (All Time Low)

A Love Like War

V.R.

There's loud knocks on the panel in my floor.
"Go away." I groaned, rolling on to my side.
More knocks.
"Fuck off," more knocks, "I said fuck off, okay?"
The floor panel popped open.
"Kent I said-" There was an unfamiliar face popping out from the hole in the floor. "You- you're not Kent."
"I am aware." The man in my floor laughed.
That voice. "I'm Alex," He climbed up, and sailed over to shake my hand, "surely you remember me from our phone calls earlier?"
I couldn't speak, leaving with other resources- body language.
I nodded.
"Sorry you're not feeling too well, so I stopped by to say hi to make up for your absence." He smiled, sitting on my bed with me.
I smiled lightly, and brushed some hair out of my face with my fingers.
"You don't talk much, do you?"
I shrugged, and looked down at my feet as I kicked them back and forth.
"Hey, do I scare you at all?" He asks, leaning over so I'm able to see him hile facing the floor. "You just seemed to talkative over the phone, did I not meet your original expectations, or something?"
I looked up at him.
His hair was messy, but looked quite nice. There was a bit of pink thrown into the mess as well. A small smils flashed across his scruffy face.
"I-" speechless again, "n-no. I'm just not... I'm not the best with, eh, s-social interaction."
He nodded, and stood up from my bed.
Oh god, he probably thinks I'm some sort of freak.
"Let's go get a snack," He grinned, walking slowly to the panel in the floor.
I nodded and followed his lead.
He's so,
He's so perfect.
He knows exactly what he's doing and I,
Damn.

A small body flew in front of us at the edge of the hallway, skidding as it turned the corner.
Nate.
"Oh my god Alex! Thank you so much for the poster! Viv! Can you pleeaaase let me tour with you guys?" He made sudden puppy-dog eyes. "Don't send me back to dad's house, while you're gone. You know how much I don't like it there."
I rolled my eyes and ruffled his hair. "If you insist," I laughed under my breath, "chode."
Alex chuckled lightly.
Ohmygod he's so hot.
"Well pack up. We're leaving on Sunday. We've got a solid five days before we leave and we'll be gone for a few months." I instructed, watching as he nodded violently, maintaining a large smile, then proceeding to zip back to his room.
"We're going to have fun with him, I can tell." Alex stated, folding his arms as he watched Nate sprint up the stairs on all fours.
I stared at him for several moments as he watched Nate's door swing shut.
Oh shit he noticed me looking at him.
"Snacks," We said in unison. "We should probably get, yeah." We said together, once again.

(A/N: aye sorry this is sort of a filler chapter but fuck it.

Okay I'm enjoying Nate's character far more than I should be tbh.
