Behind Two Screens // m.c [ON HOLD]

- 4 / clues -

I groaned as Calum opened the curtains, letting the awful sunshine through the window.

"Shut up Clifford, we hardly see you anymore! It's like you spend more and more time in your room everyday until you don't even come out anymore dude!"

It was actually true, ever since I started to talking to mychemicxlpizza (yes I still didn't know her name, she's refusing to let me know) I've been spending more time in my room.

We don't really talk that much though, it was all just a 10 minutes chat or something. I still had hope in us becoming closer and talking until we can't keep our eyes open anymore, but I feel like she's one of those people who need some time to be able to get closer to people.

"I'm sorry cal, wanna get some ice-cream today?" I asked Calum with my eyes still shut.

Calum fake-gasped, "Michael Gordon Clifford is actually suggesting to go out? LUKE GET YOUR ASS HERE, this is a Kodak moment."

I groaned again, regretting the idea of me trying to make it up for my friends, "why are you suddenly quoting Ashton?"

Ashton was over again yesterday, and he brought his little brother Harry with him. I was making some macaroni with Ash while his brother and the guys played fifa, I added some broccoli in it without knowing that Ashton's brother hates it but he actually ended up liking it and Ashton was all like, "this is a Kodak moment, I need to tell mom before I start crying."

Calum shrugged and told me that he made breakfast before going out of the room. I lazily changed into sweatpants and a random band t-shirt before going to the bathroom to get myself cleaned up properly.

When I got out of the room, Ashton was eating with Luke and Cal while laughing about something Cal said. I gave Ash a puzzled look and sat next to him, "well hello there."

"Good morning sleeping beauty," he smiled at me.

"Not to sound rude or anything, but why exactly are you here?"

"I was too bored and I knew that at least Calum would be awake so I decided to come over for free breakfast." He chuckled.

After we all finished eating breakfast, Ashton stayed a little then left saying he probably had to go babysit his siblings or something again. A few minutes later the guys dragged me out for ice-cream like I apparently 'promised' Cal, so there we were, waiting for Luke to pick either rainbow or cotton candy flavoured ice-cream.

"Jesus, Luke. It's goddamn ice-cream, just pick something already." I groaned for the hundredth time this afternoon.

"But they all look so yummy Mikey," he whined. Calum and I shared a look of annoyance before he continued, "if I pick only one I feel like the other with haunt me in my sleep or something!"

I groaned, again, before sighing, "fine, I'll get you fucking both Lucas." Luke grinned at me and waited for the guy behind the counters to finish his ice-cream.

After we were all done with the ice-cream, Calum wanted to go shopping and he knew I hardly agreed to get ice-cream in the first place, so I dropped them at the mall and went back to our apartment.

I ran all the way to my room and grabbed my laptop before jumping on the bed. I waited almost forever for my laptop to start up since I didn't have any time to open it when I woke up. Once it was done I immediately opened tumblr and went straight to my inbox.

'The letter in the middle of my name is t'

I opened the note pad and pasted that clue in it and went back to reply to her after saving it on my desk top.

'so you're going to throw me clues every once in a while, middle-letter-t?'

'Everytime I feel like u did something worth appreciating, I will send u another clue and so on..'

'I hope ur name is not 10 letters long or something dude'

'LOL nah, it's not long, but yeah close enough ;)'

'*groans* this day is so tiring, I already had to go out for ice-cream with my friends :('

'Ice-cream is good tho, what flavour did u get?'

'Coffee, I had some caramel sauce on top as well. H-E-A-V-E-N.'

'I like u for not getting chocolate or vanilla, they're good but pretty boring y'know. Good taste.'

'I'm flattered'

'U should be'

I then had no idea why I sent that, but I just felt like trying to impress her since this is like the most interesting conversation we've ever had, so I felt like I had to leave a good first impression, 'I play in a band'

And then I felt very stupid and pathetic, 'wait no sorry, I do play in a band but I have no idea why I blurted it out like that just out of the blue lol ignore me pls'

'R u serious?! Or r u just trying to get through my Internet pants !?'

I laughed at that before replying, 'no I'm 100% serious, but we're not really that good trust me'

'Omg, this is really cool dude! U get a new clue at the end of the day'

I smiled, 'maybe someday after we both get to know eachother's names I'll send u one of our covers or something :3'

'Why not now tho :c'

'Cause u keep teasing me with ur clues, this is ur punishment' I actually had to double-check my grammar before sending it, afraid of ruining the whole impressing-her thing.

'U only get away with this today, pony'

'pony? should I feel flattered or offended?'

'u reblogged a 'my little pony' post the other day, I thought it was cute so here we are, pony'

I lightly blushed because of both, the 'cute' part, and the nickname part, 'okay I'm v flattered rn'

'I bet u look like a little kitty'

'LOL why do u think so?'

'Idk I just feel like you're one of those boys that r extremely hot but also v cuddly and fluffy and shit. Am I right or am I right?'

I blushed again before typing, 'maybe I am, maybe I am not, u'll never find out unless u actually see my maybe-cute-maybe-not face'

'If u turn out to be exactly like that, I'll either never talk to u again probably bc can't hold all the feels in, or I'll be v clingy and always complement u'

I laughed loudly and sent her a reply, 'HAHAHA let's just hope for the latter, then'

'exactly' We then stopped texting(?) and went back to our dashboards.

A few hours later, it was already 3:24 p.m and I was about to go see what the boys are up to before I noticed that I had a new message, 'the 2nd letter in my name is e'
