Heh i feel bad if you've never tasted the deliciousness that is Wawa.GET READY FOR NEW JERSEY SLANG EVERYONE ILL EXPLAIN IT ALL BEST I CAN
(there's gonna be a quiz on it after so take notes)
I walk over to cuminte_'s house, trying to contain my excitement. I mean sure, we were technically just going to a convenience store, but it was the BEST convenience store.
It had hoagies (or like subs or heroes or sandwiches or whatever you wanna call 'em. We call them hoagies here. Ex: meatball hoagie = meatball sub = meatball sandwich).
And they had the B E S T hoagies, okay?
NO COMPETITORS.
I arrive at the house of my beloved. Hesitantly, I ring the doorbell. I bit my tongue, to stop squeals of excitement from escaping. Frantic footsteps ensue, before the door opened, revealing cuminte_ in all of his brilliance.
Have I mentioned how much I love him?
It was as though every time I saw him, he was more beautiful, if that's possible.
I still remember when I first found his twitter page.
Flashback oooooh~
I finish scrolling through my twitter feed. Huh. I need new people to follow - I just get bored with the same content all the time.
Maybe a Lazytown page. Nihilistic Sportacus, one that I used to follow, had deactivated due to messages he was getting, so it could be entertaining.
I search for "We are Number One."
Oh, a We are Number One bot. It tweeted lyrics from the most popular Lazytown song. I press follow. Usually on bots and stuff like that, I wouldn't notice the creator of it, but I saw that the page followed only one person.
Probably the creator of it - may as well check him out too while I'm at it.
cuminte_
How do you pronounce that? kum-int-ay?
Scrolling through his tweets, I realize that he really just shitposted all the time.
Just my kind of account.
I promptly follow him - if he tweeted too excessively I could just unfollow him, it wasn't the end of the world...
Flashback end whoa (that was actually how I found him tho)
Little had I known how much just pressing one button on my phone would impact my life.
"I/N?" I snap back to reality. (Yes you're calling each other by your online names fuck you)
Oh. I'd been staring.
"Oh- erm- sorry, got distracted." by your magnificence.
"Okay, well are we going to drive to this place of mystery that you want to go to?" he asked.
"Nah, it's within walking distance," I reply, "There's pretty much always one within walking distance."
"Okay, well, let's get going then," he suggested.
I nod. I wasn't used to seeing or talking to him outside of twitter.
We begin walking down the street. I went to Wawa all the time, I knew the route well.
As we made our way down the street, silence dominated. I decide to break it.
"So, um... are you adjusting well to the complete change of countries?" I ask awkwardly.
