The first thing that hit Awsten was the heat. Hot and violent it snapped onto his skin, spreading like a virus and causing his shirt to stick to him. He groaned as he rolled his suitcase along the concrete, wishing he had worn the lighter shirt he was planning to wear.
The second thing that hit Awsten was the thick cloud of smoke. The smell climbed up his nostrils and he coughed.

"Bitch what the fuck?" Otto muttered as the smell of cigarettes clung onto him and his friends. Awsten chuckled and nodded towards one of the taxis parked by the curb. The curly-haired boy grabbed Jawn's hand and pulled him over to the car.

"Hola." A man with a green cap greeted, lifting his keys up and moving towards the trunk in order to unlock it for the customers. 

"Uh,me no hablo spanish?" Awsten questioned, shrugging at Jawn's giggle. The man laughed and nodded.

"Hi." He said, his accent thick. Awsten smiled greatfully, knowing that now he didn't have to attempt to speak Spanish and secretly use google translate. 

The trunk popped open and the boys piled their bags inside, then sat all together in the back. The driver got in and opened his GPS, turning around to ask for an address. Awsten opened the notes app on his phone and read out the name of an apartment building, smiling contently when the man said he'd located it. He turned his data on and went onto instagram, immediately clicking on his DM's with Geoff. He smiled widely as he read over the last message he received and then began typing.

memesatknight: hi, the plane landed
memesatknight: im in a taxi right now, should be at the apartment in abt 20 min
memesatknight: hope ur okay :')

"That's very homosexual of you." Otto giggled as Awsten slapped his arm.

"Shut the fuck up Otter." He muttered, face gently pink

Jawn handed the man the desired amount of money, and with a quick thank you they started making their way down the pavement. The street was full of restaurants and shops and people, making it loud yet in a homely and comfortable way. 

The wheels of their suitcases rolled roughly against the ground, and Otto had to stop a few times because it got stuck behind a tile. Soon enough, they made it to the large metal gate leading into the complex. The redhead pulled a key out of his pocket and stuck it into the lock, twisting it carefully. The door buzzed and opened automatically, dragging Jawn with it for a bit and causing the three to burst into laughter before entering the premises. 

The ground was a smooth, light gray tile. Next to the entrance was a small playground full of kids. Further along was a basketball court and then a pool area, blocked by a locked gate. There was four entrances, each leading to a certain block of apartments.

"Yo where the fuck are we?" Awsten asked, eyes scanning the buildings.

"Block three. That way." Jawn replied, pointing at the entrance directly opposite them. He grabbed Otto's hand and made his way over. Awsten followed, but slower, as he was eyeing the walls still. His eyes landed on one of the largest, top floor ones as he saw a head of brown hair hanging off the balcony, phone in hand.

"There's some dude about to drop his phone from his balcony and it's going to be catastrophic someone film this." He said to Otto and Jawn.

"You really are heartless." Otto huffed. Suddenly, they lifted their head up and locked eyes with Awsten. Awsten just let go of his suitcase and looked up.

"Sunboy?!" He shouted, squinting at the figure.

"Dumbass?!" It screamed back, and then they both burst into laughter. "Holy shit! Hold on!" He quickly disappeared from view.

"Is that Geoff?" Jawn whispered, looking at the position the boy was standing in moments before.

"Yeah." Awsten smiled, looking at the entrance of block one, their luggage completely forgotten on the ground.  Soon enough, the sound of a door opening got their attention, and they saw a boy running towards them. He jumped up the steps and quickly pulled Awsten into a hug. Awsten hugged back, and couldn't help but take him in. Geoff was short, in a good way. He was small and cute and Awsten just wanted to cuddle him. His hair was so, so soft and he smelled faintly like vanilla. 

"Oh my god, hi!" He pulled away. His lips were stretched into a wide smile as he went to hug Otto and Jawn too.  

"Fucking hell, you're real." Awsten muttered. Geoff nodded and smiled.

"What did you think I was?" He smirked back.

"Oh fuck you. Now come hug me again."

"Gladly." The brunette replied and re-wrapped his arms around the purple haired boy. Otto and Jawn awed at the two, causing Awsten to flip both of them off.

"Wow Awsten, thanks." Otto scoffed and grabbed his suitcase again. "Anyway, we better get into the apartment right?"

"Yeah, you should. I can help you guys!" Geoff smiled and grabbed one of Jawn's bags and lead the way to entrance three after asking where they were. He kicked the door open and waited for the elevator to come. "What room are you in?" He questioned. Awsten was too busy casually staring to answer, so Otto replied.

"Four, I think." He checked the key and then nodded. "Yeah, four." Geoff nodded and as he entered the elevator and pressed the button that said 'two'. 

"So, how do you find Spain so far?" He smiled, standing up on his tip-toes and then falling back to his souls. Awsten linked his arms with Geoff's and the shorter tightened the grip.

"Great. God this is so fucking weird. I didn't expect to see you here and I am and you're so much better in person and I just- fuck." He buried his head into Geoff's hair and inhaled, then pulled away smiling. Geoff blushed.

"I meant it as a country but I see why I'm the main focus." He giggled and leaned against the other.

"Gay." Jawn and Otto said at the same time. Awsten rolled his eyes fondly. Maybe it was a little gay.
