     what was there to do? soul had come here looking for an answer, and he had gotten one – definitely wasn’t the one he’d hoped for, but that’s how things go sometimes. he COULD make up some kind of bullshit lie, claim that he never said anything in the first place, people just sure do love to talk. he COULD defend himself, make up with some kind of reasoning on the spot in an attempt to justify what he’d done. but, he usually held himself to pretty high standards, and neither of those options were particularly appealing to him. so, he did the only thing that he could think to do. he laughed.

     “ yeah. i’m illiterate. tends to come out when i’m feeling guilty, ” he spoke, keeping his tone even and friendly. trying not to show that he was embarrassed for ever speaking up in the first place and nervous about being found out. “ should’ve seen me in high school. i was a junior reading at a third grade level. ” it wasn’t true, but soul didn’t mind letting people think he was dumb. truthfully, he was pretty dumb, anyway; especially when it came to common sense and judgement. he took a few steps towards the counter, a small smile on his lips. “ people shouldn’t listen to what i say, anyway. i mean… damn. i’m an adult who can’t even read! i wouldn’t trust me. ” he shook his head a few times, paused, then added, “ what i’m saying is that i’m sorry. ”

          as soon as sunny entered the store, she immediately went to the vinyl record station to see if there was something that could pique her interest. an instant smile formed on her face when she sees records of artists she recently began listening to, snatching them from the shelf before excitedly walking around to find some more. sunny could remember full well the last time she’s been at the store, too often that she can easily recall where things were placed, and the usual people around. mikey was one of many that she found familiar, and the smile she had on only broadened when she was met with him. ❝ huh, it’s you again, ❞ her voice was sardonic, almost conceited as she was more prepared to argue than from their previous encounters. ❝ this store needs better staff with better music taste. i for one could offer my brilliance if it wasn’t just for time constraints. ❞

     IT’S the one time eric’s trying to get some fucking sleep, a job the night before already weighing on him. the music drifts through the apartments thin walls and into eric’s small bedroom. just by the music and it’s direction he already knows who is ruining his one night of relaxing. he tries to drown it out for a moment pulling his pillow over his head before getting frustrated enough to pull himself off the bed and down the hall. “ mikey c’mon man , “ he groans as he pounds his fist on the other’s apartment door. his face is twisted into an annoyed scowl when the other pull open his door, face only scrunching further with the others teasing words. “ mikey, i will rip that god damn stereo out of the wall and throw it out of the window, don’t test me with that shit , “ he grumbled pushing into the apartment, eyes immediately scanning for the speaker. he continues on his search only to pause for a moment before looking over his shoulder, “ planetary go, mama, nana, famous last words and …. destorya , “ his shoulders shrug once, as he gives up turning on heels. “ now about that alcohol, you better have fucking beer . ”

“ mikeyyy~ stoop~ “ levi whined at the other as he recklessly and obnoxiously kept screamig out from the top of his lungs. it was both embarrassing and hilarious at the same time. the alcohol was rushing through levi’s veins still and he felt his cheeks heat up, revealed by a slight pink colour pushing through onto the surface. as mikey slumped against a nearby wall, the smaller male felt his body being gently pulled into that direction as well, his arm still around mikey. “ shh, shushie. you need to shush, “ his little finger pressed against his plump lips, but he quickly found it necessary to raise his entire hand up to the other’s horribly loud mouth in an attempt on covering it up, closing off for the noises. “ don’t make me come up there! “ he cutely threatened mikey with what would come next if he kept going.. truth be told though, levi never really knew what to do next, especially not when he was as intoxicated as he was now. as they both were now. good lord, they’d really being going at it tonight. “ it’s your bedtime now. let me take you to bed, “ levi mentioned what he’d done plenty of times before ; taking care of his dear mikey and making sure he was tucked in with pain killers and water on his bedside table for whenever he decided to wake up.

athena felt like she was floating. surely, going to class high wasn’t a good idea and her parents would probably scold her for doing so. but sue her, she was an adult now and even if she shouldn’t have she didn’t care. ‘ i don’t care ’ was a motto she normally went by — her own version of yolo. thankfully, the euphoric feeling barely kicked in once class ended. people who didn’t understand probably assumed that she was just overall happy — a pep in her step as she walked back home to her apartment.

athena found herself saying a gentle ‘ hello ’ to every person that walked by. lips pressed into a wide smile as she got into the elevator. pupils blown as she looked at her reflection and noticing that she wasn’t alone. she turned slightly and her heartbeat quickened, she should be used to this by now. her and mikey had several classes together but she was finding it a little hard to be standing a close proximity to him. “i didn’t see you in class.” she tried to make small talk.

            once  getting  into  the  elevator  back  from  their  trip  out  ,  they  half  didn’t  expect  to  see  their  ex-girlfriend  there  .  dating  had  never  been  a  skill  of  mikey’s  ,  preferring  to  keep  their  distance  &  walk  their  own  path  .  but  that  didn’t  stop  athena  from  being  beautiful  or  mikey  from  being  greedy  .  candidly  ,  he  gazed  at  her  ,  noticing  how  clearly  stoned  out  of  her  mind  she  was  .  an  airy  bout  of  laughter  escaped  ,  amused  at  the  sight  .  ❝  yeah  ?  can’t  believe  you  noticed  !  did  you  MISS  me  ?  i  get  it  .  i  would  make  goo-goo  eyes  at  me  too  .  ❞

     soul’s methods of… investigation were not always good. in fact, most of the time, they were HORRIBLE. this… well, it wasn’t his worst plan ever, but it was far from being the best. he slowly made his way through the record store ( which he couldn’t even remember the name of, for some reason… he relied on his geographical memory to find it ), fingers reaching out to file through any particularly interesting looking records. he wasn’t going to buy anything, anyway— he was here for a completely different reason— but it didn’t hurt to pretend. a particular title caught his eye; gossip. it was typed in large, extravagant letters, almost like it was calling him out on his bullshit. maybe it was.

     “ GOSSIP, huh… ” he mused, gaze flickering to the undeniably attractive cashier. he held the record up so that mikey would know what he was talking about. “ what an interesting name for a record. wonder what the songs are about… gossip is everywhere these days. ” he danced delicately around the subject, hoping mikey would catch on without him having to say anything. but when he put the record back where he’d gotten it from, he realized that it didn’t say gossip. it said GOSPEL. the tips of his ears burned and he gave an awkward, forced cough.
