Brice ☕️ is calling...

+

"Hey."

"Hey."

"You sound tired."

"No kidding, haha. Hello to you, too."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just pretty wiped out I guess."

"You know, I'm always here to talk."

"I guess so."

"I always welcome you with open arms."

"I know."

"Did you just wake up?"

"Yeah, you woke me up."

"Oh, sorry."

"No, it's okay.
I was bound to get up, anyway."

"Anyway, I wanted to talk."

"About?"

"Anything. Did you have fun yesterday?"

"Yeah."

"No kidding."

"I look like a train wreck.
I'm just really tired."

"You always look beautiful to me."

"You're just saying that."

"You have a cute face."

"Really, stop that."

"Come on! It's the truth, Seto!"

"Yeah, right."

"I love your laugh. I bet you're smiling
and I love."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I should get you to
smile more."

"You'll be able to do that easily."

"Really?"

"Strangely."

"You still sound pretty tired."

"I am."

"You want me to call back later?"

"Are you tired of me yet?"

"...What?"

"I was just thinking about that."

"I'll never be tired of you."

"I'm just some random guy who
accidentally texted you."

"It's fate."

"It's a coincidence."

"I'll never get—"

"You will, eventually. Do you pity me?"

"—tired of you. Where did you get
that assumption from?"

"I was looking for a suicide
hotline, Brice."

"What's with you? You were all
giddy yesterday!"

"I was thinking! I'm always fucking
thinking! Because any guy like you
would take pity on some freak like me."

"You're not a freak."

"Get a load of this, I'm a train wreck!"

"You're not a train wreck."

"It's honestly so stupid!"

"Seto, just listen to me, okay! You
aren't those things. I love you
for you, even if you're a train
wreck."

"But you're bound to get
tired of me."

"God, it's too early for this."

"You're the one who decided to call."

"What happened to the giddy Seto
from yesterday?"

"The thoughts."

"Seto, just listen to me."

"I am. I am listening."

"It sounds like you're too busy
crying."

"I'm not crying."

"You are."

"It's only been, like, I don't know,
less than a fucking week and I already
feel as if I'm closer to you than the
people I've known for years!"

"Maybe because of the author
who lost motivation for
the story progression, because
realistically, who would fall
in love in a week? Honestly,
this chapter is just a light way
for a sad little hiatus."

"You're right."

"Glad we got that settled."

"I'll call you back until
this hiatus thing ends."

"When will that be, Seto?"

"I don't know."
