"hey, man. i like your house."
"heh, thanks. okay, uh, just f-follow me."
"..."
"do you like it?"
"are you kidding?! it's fuckin' cool!"
"r-really?"
eugene's room is painted baby blue with pink and white stripes, with a huge trans pride flag on the wall. polaroid photos hang onto fairy lights on the opposite wall by clothespins. the room screams #tumblraesthetic.
"yeah! i love it!"
"thanks, that's... that's r-really nice of you."
"no problem. so, did you have anything special planned?"
"u-um, no, not really-"
an alarm goes off, making eugene jump fifty feet into the air.
"oh, is that important?"
"k-kind of? it's an, um, it's an alarm for my medicine..."
"oh, okay. well, go take that, i'll hang out on your bed. what's your wifi?"
"it's bunny666. d-don't ask."
"fair enough."
eugene leaves the room and comes back ten minutes later, limping slightly.
"you good?"
"mhm, just my... um, it's just my..."
"it's all good man, you don't have to tell me."
he seems to breathe out in relief.
"th-thank you."
"no problem. do you wanna do anything?"
"um... i don't know."
"that's cool, we can just hang out and talk if you'd like."
