"you seem unnaturally happy today," ethan said through the phone, a small chuckling shortly following behind him.

"well considering it's a sunday afternoon and i have nothing better to do, night as well make the best of it" i laughed, resting my phone against my chest as i fell onto my bed.

"touché" he said, the static filling the silence between us from both ends of the phone.

the silence filled the room, but it wasn't awkward. it was anything but that.

"what are you doing right now?" he asked, breaking that pure stillness.

"thinking," i replied.

"let me guess, crackers?"

i laughed, "no, actually i'm not"

"then what are you thinking about?" he retorted, probably with that stupid fucking smirk on his face.

"i'm just thinking, not about anything impartial. just- thinking"

he didn't say anything, as, he probably thought i'd say something smartassy like i would usually do.

the silence's volume grew again, leaving to only hear his light breathing through the speaker of my phone.

"i wonder what it's like to be dead. like, i wanna know what happens after you so called "die" do you really go to heaven or hell or is it really just a big fat lie and we just see darkness for like ever" he whispered.

i took in his words, letting them seep into my brain like water to a dry sponge.

"i guess we'll never know" i said, rolling over in my bed.

having conversations like this with ethan were new to me, since one, we had never talked on the phone before and two, i had never really seen this kind of side of him. and i mean i've never really had a "normal" conversation with him since i'm always mouthing off.

but, i liked it.

i liked just- talking to him.

"what's it like having a twin?" i asked, placing my phone to my ear.

he didn't respond right away, only let out a sigh.

"it's not as weird as people think. it's kind of like having a life long best friend if that makes sense. to me, gray and i look nothing alike- well kind of. i mean sure we're twins but he looks so different to me since i've seen him my whole life." he said, causing my cheeks to sting from the warmth he caused.

"can you imagine me with a twin?" i laughed.

"jesus, there would be two of you always slapping rylie and mouthing off to mr. mutter" he chuckled.

"and plus, rylie would have to be around you and your twin twenty four seven" he continued to laugh, the redness in my cheeks dark.

"okay okay i get it" i sighed, rolling my eyes.

he continued to laugh through the phone, causing me to secretly heavily blush to the sound of his laughter.

"you're making me want to hit you the way you keep laughing" i sternly told him, putting the phone on speaker and sitting up in my bed.

i leaned over, pulling up the blinds and letting the sun shine through the dusted shields.

"do it, you won't" he retorted, still slightly laughing.
