'Da fuck Katie!' yelled a slim tall boy when he fell over the rug on the floor, just before his head hit against the puffed material.
'What now, Lance?' asked vaguely the girl with the messy hazel long hair tied in two buns without drifting her eyes apart from the screen and its bright colors fast flashing.
'What's this thing? I almost died! ' exclaimed pointing at a rectangular shaped object surrounded by a dark leather cover sneaking out of a bed corner, right across the pathway.
'What? Oh, shit, sorrry. That's my keyboard. Mom's watching one of those cleaning for self-esteem TV shows and tried to dump it 'cause 'It doesn't bring me happiness anymore' but fuck no, it is going to bring me happiness when I sell it.'
'I didn't know you could play' commented Hunk, paying attention almost only to his character's moves on the video game, struggling to complete the task faster than Katie.
'Do you wanna know where my rapid fingers movements come from, don't you?' asked her with a corny tone.
'Not for a second' replied Lance laying on her bed reading a blog on his phone.
'Why don't you play again?'
'Why would I, Hunk?'
'I don't know, fun?'
'I'm busy, thanks.'
'Katie, Netflix is not a job.'
'Nope, but my multiple Millenial skills are.'
'I used to play guitar' interrupted absently Lance.
'Oh yeah? I completely wouldn't see it coming from our regular cool and smooth womanizer' laughed Katie until Lance threw a pillow at her taking away barely all her balance. 'Hey! You fucker!' she yelled before throwing it back at him.
'Ha!' exclaimed Hunk in victory as a funky bright melody blasted against their ears, announcing the game was over.
'FUCK YOU, LANCE.'
'Thanks you, Lance!'
'I know, I know, you both love me, you're welcome.'
'Just please tell me you don't play ukulele as well.'
'Hey! Don't mess with ukuleles!... I don't, but I guess I could.'
...
..
.
'You didn't get it, did you?'
'Of course I did! But face it, ukukeke's pretty cool, hot ladies love it.'
'Well, I don't.'
'There's your answer.'
'Fuck you, Lance!' yelled Katie throwing herself up to the bed to hit Lance with her little fists, finally turning them into ticklish finger making him revolt and Hunk laugh his ass off.
'Y'know, there are times I play too' he commented casually.
'What?'
'Sometimes when nobody's home and everything goes silent I go to the garage and play my drums.'
'How comes we never knew we played?' asked Lance.
'Guess we never asked' replied Katie.
'Don't you miss it, guys? Sometimes I do even though play more often than you do. '
'I don't know' said the girl, 'I never thought about it. I guess I do a little, why you ask, Hunk?'
'Well... we have a guitar, a keyboard and drums, didn't that give you ideas?'
'You mean like in a band?' asked excitedly Lance on the edge of the bed. 'Fuck yeah! It'll be so cool.'
'What? No. I don't wanna be in a band, guys.'
'Whaaaat? Why not?' asked Lance in a really high pitch. Katie looked up at him and her mind raced up.
Obviously she didn't want to be in a band, that would only lead in Lance flirting with girls over it and having her there to watch it all, plus losing time she could spend with Matt on his free weekends or doing actually productive things in her improvised lab/basement. But her mind turned to another perspective and realised that in the other hand, it would be a valid excuse to be more time around him without looking like someone trying too hard. And hell, she liked Lance that bad.
' 'Cause it's weird! I never played with other people!' Katie lied, even though it wasn't completely out of reality. It did make her feel nervous having to coordinate with other people and a 7 years old group of kids playing Christmas tunes in a school show wasn't exactly some big experience.
'We can give it a try, Kat' followed Hunk.
Well, they could give it a try.
'We definitely can't do this.'
'C'mon Katie, don't be such a dick so early on the morning.'
'It's 6 p.m., Lance' corrected Hunk playing with his drumsticks.
'That's her morning, dude.'
'True though. By the way, what are we playing? I need to google the sheets.'
'Riptide' answered Lance after a moment of thinking.
'What?'
'Let's play Riptide. It's kinda easy, sounds good and it's beautiful. Plus we can do it with what we have here. Look' explained as he started playing the tune:
'Lady, running down to the riptide, taken away to the dark side, I wanna be your left hand man. I love you when you're singing your song and I've got a lump in my throat 'cause you're gonna sing the words wrong.'
'... Fine' agreed Katie reaching to her phone.
