░▒▓█▓▒░ "You're early," Elliot remarks when he comes into where Awsten is waiting for him in the lobby. One of the perks of his promotion is he can take extra time for lunch; usually, he doesn't but he figured Awsten's early arrival was as good an excuse as any to actually use it. A petty part of Elliot was tempted to make Awsten just wait but he decided against it. "Why?" "Nice to see you too, Elliot," Awsten remarks, rolling his eyes. "Just because I saved your ass from the she-devil doesn't mean we're friends," Elliot points out, "until you make up for all the shit you put Soph through, we're on very thin ice here." "Right," he mumbles, shaking his head. "I have a...a, uh, minor issue. Amelia kissed me when I dropped her off at the airport." "Shoulda made her take a fucking Uber," Elliot mutters, looking at Awsten like he can't begin to understand why the blue-haired man would go out of his way to do anything nice for the woman who entered his life with the goal of tearing it to pieces. "Did you kiss back?" "No! Fuck no," Awsten denies quickly, "I'm not that stupid. But, uh, the problem is...well a fan was there and kinda...well, not kinda, they did—" "Get to the damn point," Elliot cuts in, frowning in what's almost worry for Awsten. "They took a picture. And that picture is now on the internet," Awsten finishes off telling Elliot what the issue he currently has is. "Well, shit," Elliot comments, "listen, it sucks and it'll definitely cause some bullshit online but everyone in your real life who cares about you will know the truth so, in the end, it doesn't matter. It isn't a problem unless you make it one, Awsten." ●☆●☆●☆●☆● Not long later, Otto and Sophia arrive and head in, Otto glaring at the security guard who he knows has flirted with Sophia every day she's come in since Elliot first got his job here. They meet Elliot and Awsten in the cafeteria. Sophia greets Elliot with a hug before looking to Awsten. "Hey," she greets quietly, unsure whether or not she should hug him. "Hey," he replies awkwardly, giving a little wave. He shakes his head at his own awkwardness and launches himself forward, wrapping her in a tight hug. "I'm so fucking sorry, Soph." "It's okay, Aws," she assures him, "I'm not mad anymore." ░▒▓█▓▒░
