All We Have Is Now

Chapter Three

"So, your name?"

Lucia raised his gaze before sighing in defeat at the gorgeous blue eyes staring back at him.

"Lucia. What about you?" He spoke, his tone rather bored as he added more details to his art.

"Rehan, Rehan Black. Nice to finally know your name, Lucia," Rehan responded, exaggerating his already strong British accent.

Lucia pursed his lips in surprise when he felt then itch with an urge to grin at Rehan's childish behaviour.

"What are you drawing?"

Rehan raised an eyebrow, surprised at the quiet male's sudden interest.

"Just hands. I'm trying to do something artsy with them,"

Lucia nodded shortly, shifting his gaze around the room as he picked at his jumper.

"You like art?"

"Yeah, I guess. It's more relaxed than other classes and the teacher let's us talk. She doesn't rattle on about everything.."

"Yeah, I get that.."

Lucia diverted his eyes to his art book with a small shrug in response as soft sound of chattering filled their lack of conversation.

———————————————————————

Laughter bounced around the walls off the classroom as a red haired female ran across the classroom to escape the grasp off a teacher.

"Diana! I asked you to give the sheets out, not throw them at people. This type of behaviour is unacceptable!" The stubby man barked out, picking up the papers after her and attempting to catch them in the air with his stubby arms.

"Aw, come on! I'm trying to brighten up the classroom!"

"Time out! Go!" He snapped causing the laughter to die down as the student stormed out the classroom.

"Damn. That was wild, huh?"

Recoiling in surprise, Lucia's brown eyes widened at Rehan carelessly slumping into the seat next to him.

"I thought.. I thought you didn't like coming to maths.." He trailed off, tilting his head slightly.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you again. Plus, I don't exactly feel like getting kicked out of the school just yet," He spoke with a shrug.

"Oh, right.."

Rehan let out a curse of annoyance, grinding his teeth as he narrowed his eyes at the sheet of paper below him.

However, his eyes widened and his posture relaxed when Lucia let out a soft breath of amusement and gave the struggling male a soft smile.

"Not good at math, hm?"

"Not really,"

"Here," He murmured, leaning over his shoulder with his own pencil.

Rehan stole glances toward the pale boy as he explained each question to him ; doing them with him.

'Maybe he isn't so grumpy and boring after all?' The blond inwardly questioned before bringing his attention back to the math work.

"Lucia?"

Raising an eyebrow at the sudden interruption, the brunette paused and hummed in response.

"Hang out with me,"

"What?" He choked in surprise, cautiously eyeing the good-looking teenager before narrowing his eyes.

"Alright-" He trailed off before raising his finger at Rehan's impish smirk. "-But, only on one condition,"

"Deal,"

"We go to Esthetic and only because you need serious help with math,"

"Wait, what? You can't-.. Fine," He grumbled reluctantly.

"Give me your phone,"

Rehan wiggled his eyebrows and laughed.

"Ooh, finally rebelling against the system?" He teased however held his phone out causing Lucia to bite back a smile and roll his eyes.

Rehan watched as he put his contact in his phone before handing it back to him.

"There. Now you can text me the details,"

"-And memes,"

"What?.. No, not.. Not memes,"

"Yes, memes,"

"What? Why-"

"Memes,"

"Al-.. Alright,"

———————————————————————

A chime from his phone caused Lucia to push his homework to one side.

                                           Rehan🖌️: Oi

Lucia🤓 : What?
  
                                        Rehan🖌️: Tmrw. 4

Lucia🤓: 4:30

                                       Rehan🖌️: Address?

Lucia🤓: You sent your location.

————————————————————————

Lucia finally placed his phone on his bedside table, plugging the charger in before rolling over.

"Idiot," He mumbled to himself before laughing quietly.

Rehan had been sending him 'spicy memes' since he'd came upto his room after he'd ate and they'd been texting for hours between said memes.

Muffling his yawn with his sleeve, the brunette stared out his window through the crack of the curtain at the night sky, counting grey clouds that littered it.

Eventually, his eyes fluttered closed and his cheek hit his pillow.

A/N : So, this is longer than usual.. Not exactly long enough but! They'll get longer. I'm trying haha. It's a short story though so don't expect 3000 words and forty chapters. Also the songs aren't always linked to the chapter, it's just songs I think are nice to listen to while reading. I'll tell you when they are linked to chapters :).

Q : What do you think of the two so far? Cute bromance going onn?
