Day 13 - Text Messages

Fixed a few typos in earlier chapters. Yay for me.

A lot of modern AU ideas flying around my head right now, sorry. I just had a huge influx of inspiration for this, and entire four ideas, two of which are linked to eachother- Not so sure if updates will come quickly, though.

This one feels a bit lacking, though. I might rewrite it to flow better at some point...

It's just a piece of life, to be honest. Their relationship here could be platonic, could be romantic.

Is it just me, or are my A/Ns slowly growing longer? I have to stop rambling now.

Thank you for your patience!

-Modern AU-

Brown eyes opened as the brunet rolled over with a quiet groan. He couldn't sleep, but he couldn't really pinpoint why- And being awake alone at night with nothing to do was no fun at all. The lights from outside seeped in between the cracks in the curtains, the passing person's shadow going by occasionally. Edward hummed to himself absent mindedly.

It was lonely and his blanket was overkill and it was way too hot. No way he could sleep like this.

So, what else to do than to call for company?

Sure, he'd probably kill him, but he didn't care. Punching in a quick message, he tapped send and waited.

Not too long now. Grinning in anticipation, he went to grab himself a bag of gummy worms, smartphone in hand.

Ding!

His phone buzzed next to his bed, beeping and lighting up, irritating him. Leonardo blindly groped at his sidetable for the blasted thing. Can't he even get a good night's sleep for once?

After accidentally making it fall off the small table and dropping it twice, he unlocked the screen clumsily and squinted at the tiny letters.

(1) new message

The blond groaned. He already had an idea who it was.

(Eddie): ay u ther e

Of course. Leonardo fought the urge to stomp over to the brunet's dorm to punch him in the face. What was he thinking, sending him a pointless text at one in the fucking morning? Blinking as aggressively as humanly possible, he punched in a text.

(Leo): Edward why are you even up you jackass

(Leo): And why are you waking me up

(Leo): It's one AM

He didn't have to wait long for the reply- Edward most likely was staring his phone down on the other side.

(Eddie): whoaa bruh clam down

(Eddie): i cant sl e e p

(Eddie): cn i cpme iver

(Eddie): .v.

On second thought, the 'punch in the face' part might work. Edward was in for a world of pain and maybe a black eye. Or Leonardo was. Do not underestimate the other's physical strength. Making a mental note of that, the blond got to replying.

(Leo): Your typing sure siunds like you need sleepright noe

(Leo): *sounds, sleep right, now

(Leo): And no

(Eddie): wow i rll did wake u up jsut now lma o

(Eddie): n come onnnn u could. idk

(Eddie): come ovr 2 my place pls

Ignoring the obvious spelling mistakes, he snorted. No way was he going after the brunet woke him up so rudely. Leonardo put the phone aside and laid back down with a grumble. Five minutes passed, and another message came.

Sent: come on dude im all alone man don t leave me hangin buddy

Blinking slowly, he opened the file, only to find a selfie of Edward in the dark, staring up at the camera with puppy eyes, mussed hair and a pack of gummy worms on his lap. A sloppily written 'please?' was in the bottom corner.

Gods. This was ridiculous, even for his standards.

(Leo): Why the hell man

(Eddie): reaons now y or n

(Leo): ...

(Leo): I'm coming over for the gummy worms okay

(Eddie): n not 4 this booty?

(Leo): Fuck you i change my mind

(Eddie): k, c u in 10 ;P

Edward's head shot up at the sound of a knock on the door- Wait, not a knock, it sounded like Leonardo was close to kicking the door in with platform shoes or high heels. It probably just was those shoes that looked more like dress shoes or women's shoes that he always wore. Haha, Leo in high heels. Imagine that!

He ran to the door and almost tore it off its hinges opening it, meeting face-to-face with an absolutely livid blond. Edward only grinned, ducking down to avoid a punch that was obviously meant for his face. Looks like Leonardo kept true to his word.

"Come on in!" he chirped in return to the blue-eyed glare shot his way.

Leonardo promptly collapsed on the floor as soon as he was inside, rolling over onto his back, muttering about this being a bad idea, no matter how much vacation they had at the moment. The brown-eyed male blatantly ignored him, blabbering excitedly and starting up his Wii U, sliding in a disc.

Only moments later were they engrossed in a particularly violent game of Mario Kart 8, the two of them screaming bloody murder at each other and the other players.

Ah, the magic of online play.

"GOD DAMN IT YOU TOTALLY THREW THAT BLUE SHELL ON PURPOSE YOU DICK"

"I had no choice."

A few hours later, Edward was clinging to Leonardo's arm, twitching every time a jump scare came on the screen.

You guessed it.

Horror movie time.

Suggested by the latter, of course, to get back at the former for waking him up. And being stubborn as he was, he didn't back down. Not that the blue-eyed boy liked horror, either, but Edward's reactions were amusing nonetheless.

At a particularly gory scene, the blond offered his friend a handful of chips. Edward declined, looking a little green around the nonexistent gills. Leonardo laughed and ate one himself. The other only jumped again and shrieked (rather girlishly, I might add) and nearly pushed him over, causing the bowl of chips to fall on the floor. It was kind of funny to see how taken he was by the special effects, thugh this wasnt what he actually wanted.

The blond sighed as his brunet friend fell off the couch.

"I'm not cleaning that up."

It was getting light outside, and the two were now just lying inside the pillow fort Edward had managed to build. Leonardo was reading a book he had brought, while the pillow fort's creator was playing Solitaire. Said brunet was bored out of his mind now.

His thoughts went back to the smartphone in his pocket. A grin made its way onto his lips. Taking it out, he took a photo of Leonardo, tapped in something hurriedly and waited.

The phone in the blond's pocket buzzed. The grin grew cheekier.

-Snapchat from tempestblade-

did it hurt when u fell from heavn?

Blue eyes flitted to him, unamused. He snickered, looking away to hide it, but during that time, he heard a tiny click.

"Hey!"

Leonardo smirked in triumph, pulling up Snapchat and drawing little horns and wings on the other.

-Snapchat from pensiveorder-

I found a devil in my house should I pour holy water on him

The snapchat war quickly escalated as one of them- they weren't sure who- accidentally sent one of theirs to Ranulf. Which happened to be the one with the caption 'id tap that' and both of them on the picture. In which the blond was yelling at Edward in a flustered manner and the other was still grinning. (It was probably Edward.)

Of course, it quickly turned into a selfie war via Facebook. At six in the morning. Soren flipping the bird and Ike sneaking up behind him must have been one of the the best ones out of all of them, although Tormod had a few highlights, too, involving Ghostbusters, for some absurd reason. Rhys leaving an angry, all caps status was amusing as well. Did any of these people ever sleep? Either that, or they woke up absurdly early. This week off was going to hell.

Especially on that morning.

In the end, both of them collapsed from the all-nighter around eight and woke up around lunchtime, only to go to McDonalds. The rest of the day was, thankfully, relatively uneventful, and both of them went to sleep fairly early.

time skip

Ding!
