Ian typed down his number, secretly curious of Max's voice and intentions.
It was only seconds after sending the message that Ian's phone was ringing.
"Ian?" Max's accent was prominently showing even through the speaker of the phone, Ian found it adorable.
"No, I think you've got the wrong guy," Ian said as a joke.
"Oh.." the disappointment in Max's voice just about broke Ian's heart.
"Nah I'm just fucking with you, it's Ian."
"Oh you asshole. I thought you gave me some random number."
"Sounded like you were pretty sad about it."
"I was! I really wanted to hear your voice."
"I like your accent, kangaroo boy."
"Stop calling me that, and thanks I like yours too.
"What are you doing right now?" Ian sat up in his bed, as if to look at Max in the room (though he wasn't).
"Sitting outside."
"What's it like?"
"It's warm but there's this gentle breeze blowing through, it pushes my hair into my eyes but that's fine. The grass is soft and green, swaying in the wind. It's quiet too, but I like it better that way."
"Sounds peaceful."
"It is, for the most part. Where are you?"
"Just in bed. It's dark in the room, except for the light from the stars coming through the window."
"Sounds nice."
"It is, for the most part." Ian could hear yelling from the other line start as he was speaking. "What's that?"
"My mom's telling me to come inside."
"Oh."
"I have to go."
Max hung up abruptly, leaving Ian in silence.
