More than a tragedy (BxB)

Frogs

I look at my phone and see that I have a text.

Unknown Number: Hey this is Avery whatcha doin?

Me: Eating supper how'd you get this number anyway?

Avery: Oh shit sorry I didn't mean to text you while you were with your family and I have my ways.

I sigh remembering that people normally have families to eat dinner with.

Me: Haha okay no worries.

I finish my dinner and clean my dishes and go upstairs to watch Netflix and listen to music until i'm forced to fall asleep. Being alone all the time has made me good at many things because I have so much free time to practice hobbies. But today has been mentally exhausting because even if it was a great day, great days can make you think about the bad ones and make you wish you had more great days like these. So yeah it was a great day but I guess i'm just not used to having those so I hold off on any of my more "productive" pass times and binge watch Suits. And then I listen to music until I can not stay awake anymore because staying awake is what makes me think about the past and honestly sometimes I don't really enjoy thinking about the present either.

6:00 AM

I wake up tangled in my earbuds as my alarm goes off. I get up, get ready and leave. I'll have to go grocery shopping after school today because i'm running low on well, pretty much everything. I may have been living alone for like 5 years but I am still a teenager so I can allow myself to be irresponsible sometimes. Besides it's not like I have anyone but me to look after. I make my way towards the entrance and I see Asher. I know we're technically friends but we haven't really had a conversation together. While i'm wondering if I should go over to talk to him he seems to make up his mind faster and makes his way towards me.

"Hey" He says.

"Hey. Wanna play 21 questions" I ask while walking with him towards a bench outside "Sorry it's a bit random but we've got time to spare before class."

He smiles and says: " Sounds good to me. You go first."

We sit on the bench and I say: "hm okay... favorite colour?"

He laughs and says teasingly: "Thrilling question" 

"You'd be surprised at how much you can find out about someone from their favorite colour."

"Is that so?" He says

"Definitely"

"Alright i'll believe you... my favorite colour is green. What does that say about me?"

"Let me ask you one more question and i'll tell you, deal?"

"deal."

"okay why?"

"Why what?"

I smile and say "Why is green your favorite colour?"

"Green is my favorite colour because it's the colour of frogs."

I start laughing hysterically and he smiles while saying "Hey frogs are adorable! besides what does my favorite colour say about me huh?"

"It says that you're adorable" I say between laughs. He looks at me surprised before he says anything I say:

"I know what you're thinking but I stand by what I said. Liking frogs is definitely the most adorable thing ever."

And let me tell you never in my life have I seen someone blush that much and smile that hard. And I was happy to be the reason behind it.
