2D: Your boyfriend hadn't been gone 3 minutes when your phone started blaring next to you. As you slid the bar to answer, you couldn't help but sigh.

"Stu, you've only just left, what's wrong?"

You could practically hear him fiddling with his fingers over the phone. "Well, erm..." He took a deep breath, "I kind of left somefin'... important... at your house."

Sure enough, glancing just below your bedroom's T.V., you spotted 2D's pink underpants. Remembering just how embarrassed he'd been the night before when you saw them, you giggled softly. "Yeah, I got'cha. Won't have time to bring them to you before work, though."

"Reckon I'll 'ave to swing by after and grab 'em then, huh?" You could hear his grin.

Playing along, you smiled to yourself. "Guess it's a date then."

Russel: You were a bit overwhelmed by the string of numbers on the creased paper sitting on your counter.

'Gimme a call sometime, babydoll xx
-Russ'

The handwriting was neat and handsome, much like the man who wrote it. You didn't exactly know how handwriting could come off as handsome, but it did.

You'd been wrestling with yourself for nearly a week now, wondering if you should take a chance on it. As much as you liked Russel, and as much as you knew there wasn't really anything to lose from calling him, actually dialing the number and saying hello seemed like a task more daunting than any.

Today would be different. You woke up with a surge of confidence that you weren't going to waste. Before you could psych yourself out any further, you tapped the numbers into your phone and pressed it to your ear, biting your nails and bouncing your legs.

It took a good few rings before anything happened, your anxiety peaking with each sound.

"Ah, hey, who's this?" The voice on the other end of the line sounded groggy, but you still recognized it as the man you met several nights before.

"Yeah, hello, this is (Y/N)." You heard shuffling on the other end. "From... from that bar."

He let out a chuckle, "yeah, baby, I remember you. Took you awhile to get back to me, I was gettin' worried."

"Yeah, sorry for that..." An awkward silence fell over you, one you didn't know how to fix.

Russel coughed on the other end, "d'you uh... wanna meet for coffee later? I'm busy for now but I'll be free around 4."

Your cheeks flushed and you were suddenly very thankful that he couldn't see your face. "That sounds nice. I know just the place, send you the address?"

"Sure thing, baby. See you then."
