we'll be fine (romeo-centric)

in which romeo isn't feeling like himself

this doesn't focus on any ships but there is some background established ralbert and can be read as platonic or romantic spromeo, but it was mainly made because i needed some content of these four being friends because they're the BEST

just some wholesome friendship content.

Romeo was having a bad day.

Well, not really. The majority of his day had been actually pretty good. It was Saturday, which meant he got to spend all day in his room, not worrying about school, or homework or anything other than how he can get himself some lasagna without walking to the kitchen or what’s going to happen in the next episode of The Good Place. He could finally get some alone time, just him. Not that he was antisocial, as if. He loved to go out, he loved loud places and flashing lights and he loved meeting people. Most of his friends could agree that they could hardly name three people as extroverted as Romeo was. He was a people person, that’s how it was. But every once in a while, he had his moments, he just wanted to stay in, maybe have one or two friends over, just stick to what he was familiar with.

Today was one of those days. Sitting in his room, fully dressed just for the heck of it, curled up in about a hundred blankets while watching Netflix on his phone.  Or at least, he was, until he got that text.

groupchat – race is a dumb

racecrack: albo!!!!!!! u picking us up today right?

albitch: yeye just be ready a bit before like,,,,,,,,around  8:30?

racecrack: aye aye captain

 

Romeo squinted his eyes at the messages, trying to remember what the hell they had planned for today. Shit, he thought, October 10th? Is it the 10th today? And that’s when it hit him, Saturday, October 10th, Katherine’s completely pointless Back To School Party. Nothing but an excuse for kids from multiple high schools to gather in her enormous house and drink their brains out, really, but hey, they were high schoolers. They needed a break.

Romeo groaned, his lips forming into a pout just thinking about it. Normally, this would be exactly his scene. But today wasn’t normally and the last thing he needed was a room crowded with drunk teenagers and blasting music. Feeling sick to his stomach, he texted Specs.
