You eventually got yourself out of bed, checking your phone and after seeing no texts from John, you made your way down the hall to the bathroom, opening the door to find an animated Roxy brushing her teeth and talking a mile a minute into the phone she had glued to her ear.
"I swear Janey, It was the freakiest thing, he was just sitting on the end of my bed like it was a totes normal thing!" She exclaimed around a mouth full of toothpaste bubbles. You heard Jane say something and all you could make out was
"it's too early for this Roxy" you were about to comment when your phone buzzed in your pocket. You pulled it out and unlocked it, the picture of you you and Roxy making way to your homescreen and that dumb picture of you and your brothers, it was, in every way, Ironic and unironic all the same time. Hence it was your background for everything, Laptop, phone, Ipod, and speaking of, John apologized and offered to meet up at starbucks to give it back, you agreed since you wanted coffee anyway, and with halloween approaching, starbucks had pumpkin flavoured everything. and you were a sucker for pumpkin stuff. Almost an hour later you were pulling your car into the parking lot, getting out and locking it up, you made your way inside and ordered the largest possible cup of pumpkin spice coffee. The cute girl working behind the counter took your name and started making it, at the same time listening to the man standing beside her complaining about what sounded like his boyfriend. as he talked, She reached over and patted the purple tuff at the front of his hair, making him puff his cheeks and go wipe down the counters. She returned with your cup and a "Have a nice day, glub!" You smiled at the girl and took a seat near the door, waiting for the bucktooth wonder and before long, you seen his car pull in. Taking a long sip, he came up to the window instead of the door and pressed his face against the glass, making a funny face and you couldn't help but crack a smile. he came in and sat down, ordering a drink from the purple hair guy before turning to you. He smiled and reached into the hoodie he was wearing, your hoodie, you noted, and slid your Ipod across the table. you thanked him and slipped it into your back pocket, he smiled and started blushing, admitted he gandered at your music for a while. you got a little pink in the face, seeing as you had some pretty weird stuff in there. weird, sad, and just downright disturbing. John just laughed when you voiced this. You stayed there a few hours, talking about everything before his phone buzzed and he apologized and answered it. You could hear a highpitched voice talking excitingly and several times he had to tell the girl to slow down. Eventually he was able to hang up and he apologized again.
"Sorry Nepeta needs my help, i'm sorry to cut this short" he said, sliding his phone back into his pocket.
"nah, its fine, wait, like little Nep, Equius's cat friend?" you asked and John just nodded, getting up and coming over and wrapping his arms around you. you instantly wound yours around him and smiled, he leaned down and kissed your cheek, and you pulled him back down and gently kissed his lips. Making him smile ear to ear and that smile did funny things to both your stomach and your ability to breathe. He didn't make it through the door before the barista girl stopped him, handing him a box and envelope. she watched him drive away before plopping down into the seat john had previously occupied. She held out her hand and you shook it, one eyebrow raised in question.
"Nice to finally meet you Dirk, I'm Feferi" she stated, glancing back to the where the purple hair guy was stocking cups.
"Likewise, Feferi" she giggled and dropped your hand,
"You can call me Fef, and I really should get back to work, but I just wanted to finally meet the man behind the name, John's always talking about you"You smiled and humped in surprise, trying to be smooth and cover it, Making Fef giggle again.
"Between John talking about you and Eri over there talking about Sollux, I can't get a glubbing break" she laughed saying, pretending to fan herself. "woe is me for all my friends and coworkers to be gays with amazing boyfriends" she laughed and the guy through a cup at her, the styrofoam object hardly making it over the counter.
"I heard that Fef" she giggled and stood up
"Yeah I know you did Eri" turning back towards you "it was great to finally meet you, take care of John, alright? he can get a little lost sometimes, and I haven't seen him this happy in a very long time" she waved and made her way back behind the counter, picking up the slain cup as she went. You blinked behind your glasses at her, before grabbing your cup and making your way back to the car. You pulled out your Ipod to see if John had changed anything, the car radio blaring some rock song. You opened your pictures and found a very cute Selfie of John. You smiled at this and flipped over to songs. you plugged up your Ipod to the car and clicked play. A few songs later, a song you hadn't heard before started to play. You pulled over to the side of the road and unlocked your Ipod. The song was just simply labeled
FOR DIRK.
