' What's taking her so long?' Grey thought as the sound of cups clinking and laughter filled his ears.

He continued to check his phone, seeing the time and checking the notifications. It was strange how one person could be so dependent on another one. But seeing how desperate Grey was, it was obvious that he needed Midnight.

As if fate heard his prayer, his phone rang showing the caller, who was Midnight.

He picked it hastily.

"Midnight."

"Grey!" Excitement clear on her voice causing Grey to smile. ' She misses me.' He thought.

"You seemed to miss me." He joked softly and knowing her she would be blushing.

"Why would I?"

"I missed you though." He said, unable to keep the sincerity off his voice.

"You did?" Midnight said in a teasing voice.

He couldn't help it, he broke out into a laugh. Causing Midnight to join in too.

"Don't doubt me princess, of course I did."

"I missed you too."

"I.... Thank you..."he unexpectedly choke up. Why he had no clue but this 17 year old girl made him feel loved and welcome. And considering the short amount of time they've met The need to just hear Midnight, to just know she's hear was weird but nevertheless was strong.

"For what?" She asked her voice softening.

"For missing me."

"Don't be silly, it's not hard missing someone you like."

"No one really misses me Midnight. "

"I do.... And I'm someone right?" She whispered softly breaking and fixing's Grey's heart all together at once.

"You're more than someone. You're Midnight. And you make me happy."

"I like making you happy." She teased softly and once again Grey couldn't help but laugh.

"Thanks for the dedication Midnight."

"Course, besides I'm your most trusted employee!" Their conversation starting to turn into nonsense that only they could understand.

"You're my only employee. "

It was silent for a moment both cherishing the happiness and moments they both give each other then suddenly Grey was laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Thanks Midnight, really."

"For what?"

"For missing me, for making me happy, for sticking by me."

"Always Grey." She whispered softly before cutting the call.

"Always Midnight." He whispered softly before ignoring the sounds of music and glass clinking. Just to focus on the night.
