This party was already shit by Shiro's standards. Keith had dragged him here so he could meet up with Hunk, but the party had quickly became hot and overwhelming that he had to excuse himself.
Plus catching your little brother making out with Hunk is always a little off putting.
Shiro eventually found the front door again, gasping in relief when the crisp air hit his face, relishing the taste of rain on the wind.
"Hi."
Shiro didn't jump, but he did inhale a gasp and jerked his head to the right to see a small guy on the bench, knees drawn to his chest.
"Hi," He said. The boy had freckles and soft brown eyes and his cheeks were flushed red, either from cold or from alcohol. When he smiled sincerely Shiro decided it was the cold rather than alcohol. Plus, the man was way too small to be drinking anything more than a fruity cocktail with more juice than booze.
"Overstimulated?" Shiro asked, before inwardly wincing. No, not everyone couldn't handle social situations as badly as he could, not everyone felt as if loud parties smothered them with a wet blanket-
"Yeah." The man smiled that cute grin of his again. "You wanna sit with me? I ain't doin' nothin' but chillin'."
"Sure," Shiro shrugged, sitting with his thighs just a few inches away from the other guy. "What's your name?"
He set his legs on the ground. "Matt Holt," he said, sticking out his hand to shake. Shiro got a hilarious idea, and stuck out his right arm, twisting his remaining muscles that made the hand come off.
When Matt grabbed Shiro's hand, it fell off and Matt's eyes widened. Shiro laughed aloud at the shock and confusion on Matt's face.
"I-I'm so sorry!"
"No, no! It's alright. I do this to everyone who shakes my hand." Shiro grabbed his prosthetic and popped it back into its socket, the mechanics whirling as it connected to his muscles again. "It's always a hit on halloween."
"My younger sibling was born on halloween. They would love this." Matt giggled. "What's your name again?"
"Never said it. I'm Shiro." Shiro stuck out his hand again and smiled when Matt let out another chuckle.
"You don't just so happen to have a tumblr, Shiro?"
"I do." Shiro got out his phone and opened the slow as fuck app, tapping the screen in frustration as he always does. "Do you?"
"It's i-know-you-like-those-peas-dad." When Shiro gave him a baffled look, Matt just shrugged.
"Anime."
"Ah."
He followed Matt's blog. "Mine's no-arm-stan."
"Anime?"
"No I have no arm."
"Oh yeah."
