lucas 567 | i'll go myself

"Because there are many other Lucases and many other Eliotts, in other parallel universes, who are together now," I say. Eliott's phone vibrates on my cheap IKEA table that Mika got me long ago, he had picked it out when he dragged me to IKEA for the first ever time. I don't regret it, them meatballs were maybe the best things I've tasted.
I'm getting completely off track.
Eliott looks annoyed. "Is it Lucille?" I asked, maybe my words stumble out too panicked. "Fuck, I'm dead." What does that even imply? "It is her, isn't it?" I say, thinking of the best scenario in my head. He stays silent and avoids eye contact, I can tell he's thinking about leaving. "It's ok," I whisper, making Eliott confused. "I'll go." I stand up and within the next millisecond, Eliott does too. "No way. I'll talk to her if you really want someone to. I could even stay here-" I cut him off. She needs to be told at one point, "No, I'll go. I should probably talk to her more anyway. I don't even know her that well. Plus, it was definitely shitty of us to just leave your apartment without a word." Eliott doesn't say anything, he just nods. I shove on clothes as Eliott just sits there, seeming emotionless. He finally speaks up, "Are you sure? She's technically expecting me."
"I'll be fine, where is she?"
"My place."
"I'll be back soon, stay here," I say, maybe with a little more confidence than I actually have. I leave him with a kiss and make my way out the door after telling him repeatedly that I'll be back. It's weird to just leave him in my apartment, and if Mika, Lisa or Manon see him, I guess I have some explaining. I don't worry about it though and move on to getting to Eliott's place.

I see Lucille in the distance, she has a back towards me, facing the building, looking at the window which Eliott has claimed. He stands behind her and it takes her a moment, I clear my voice. "Jesus! Eliott-" She looks at me, confused. "Lucas? I told Eliott to meet me here. Where is he?" I try to think of somewhere else he could be but Lucille seems to get it. "So, why you and not him?" She asks.
"I offered to go instead, Eliott seemed uh..." I stutter, "A little under the weather, let's say." Lucille looks at me like I'm some sort of kid who can't even learn the alphabet. "Did he send you here? Like a messenger?" She raises her voice a little, but somehow, I'm not threatened. "I volunteered, really." I say, "Eliott was just going to leave you but, I just found that like the wrong thing. I wanted to apologise for last night, how we took off-"
"Lucas, I'm not annoyed at you over that. I just needed to talk to Eliott not so much you." For some reason, even though I understand, I feel unwanted; neglected. "I understand," I say as my head swings low, lying out of necessity. "I'll tell him." I start to walk away. I expect Lucille to shout, "Lucas, wait!" and apologise, but nothing. She does nothing.
                                       ***
I walk back to the flat. I greet Mika on my way in and not even subtly, he winks. I think nothing of it and walk into the room where I left Eliott. I get ready to completely fall back into the place I was on the bed, but he's not there.
It takes me a good two minutes to notice a note, lying on the bed right where he was. I hesitantly pick it up, it's folded in half and on top is some sort of illustration. It's a racoon, his spirit animal, tucked up in bed alone. There are words at the bottom that read, "It got too lonely. You were gone for two minutes but I knew what would happen." I open up the letter to show another drawing. It was a hedgehog reading a letter that looked exactly like this. I smile, reading the bottom, "Lucille isn't easy to talk to. I'm probably there when you're reading this. (P.S, your roommate is super... nice.)" I shake my head, Mika has some first impressions. There's an extra note in the corner, "I made you as a hedgehog, has really sharp, threatening spikes but are actually harmless and really cute." I snort, what a dork.
I feel so empty and alone without him, but with this, I feel content and calm at the same time.

I think I found love.
