when aurora disappears in the walk-in closet of the bedroom everyone's currently in and comes out wearing a bike helmet, kingston notices and instantly throws his head back in laughter. "yo, what the fuck?"

she's currently chilling in a room with kingston and his friends. there's two guys — ross, and mikael that goes by 'mikey.' there's only one other girl and her name is ashley.

ashley who sits on the floor against a dresser and mikael who's laying in front of her in a star fish position, both break out into laughter as well. ross just stares at her and shakes his head with an amused grin.

"should i put on the knee straps?" she asks with a literal giggle, disappearing back into the closet before they can even respond.

the alcohol in her system has her only able to focus on one thing at a time so she can't make out whatever they say back, just starts looking around for the knee straps she saw.

she frowns, beginning to grow aggregated when she can't find the neon pink straps anywhere. she's about to give up and dramatically fall to the floor when she suddenly spots a flash of the bright color under something gray. "yes!" she whispers to herself with a grin before rushing over to the area, bending down and almost losing her balance as she does so.

she picks up the clothing piece to reach the knee straps underneath but pauses when she notices what's embroidered on the front of the hoodie. "omg," she whisper-shouts the letters of the abbreviation, knowing matt has something just like the clothing piece in her hands.

she instantly stands up with it in her hands, stumbling a bit as she walks back over to the closet door. "matt has this exact thing guys!" she exclaims in amazement, holding the hoodie up like it's some sort of holy item.

kingstons friends have no idea who she's talking about while kingston himself raises his eyebrows. "no shit?"

"yeah!" she responds, bringing the hoodie back down and turning it over so she can look at the embroidered bit again. she grins down at the clothing piece.

"wait," ross furrows his eyebrows. "who's matt?"

"her boyfriend," kingston answers easily with a shrug.

aurora isn't focused enough to respond with a form of denial, instead still looking down at the clothing. the smile on her face slowly begins to fall into a frown. she hasn't talked to matt in a while, she really should. he also hasn't been looking at her recently which makes her kinda really upset.

she's suddenly missing the boy and turns away from the group, not thinking twice when she begins to raise up the shirt she's currently wearing to change into the one that reminds her of matt.

"woah, okay aurora!" kingston exclaims, his eyes widening as he instantly rushes off the bed and closes the closet door so her vulnerable figure is hidden.

after a whole two minute pause, kingston speaks against the door. "you decent yet?" he asks.

aurora is now sitting on the closet floor. she's pretty sure she's decent. she glances down at the hoodie she's now fully covered by and the other clothes she's still wearing just to make sure she's correct before she answers. "yes."

he opens the door and takes a step inside after she responds. "bro, you are literally unhinged."

when she doesn't respond with anything, just sighs loudly and falls back onto the floor behind her, he raises his eyebrows. he turns around and says something to his friends on the other side of the door before closing it and walking over to stand in front of aurora. "you good?"

she begins to shake her head repeatedly and closes her eyes shut tightly like she's very stressed out before sitting up so quickly he gets whiplash and takes a step back. "kingston, i've gotta tell you something top secret."

he just sighs and takes a seat on the floor in front of her. "alright."

"but you can't tell anyone. no one! not uh... not a single soul," she tells him dead serious, struggling with her words for a bit as her minds a mess. she pauses for a second after she's spoke, trying to grow intense before she speaks again. "or else."

"woah," kingston responds, raising his eyebrows at the girl in front of him. "okay."

aurora sighs and nods her head for a second before finally confessing what she's been dying to let out. "matt and i kissed," she rushes out in what she's sure came out in a slur and closes her eyes so she doesn't see his reaction.

"knew it," he just says calmly, aurora instantly opening her eyes to find him chuckling lazily like it's no big surprise. "i knewww you were into him."

"i'm not into him!" she instantly exclaims defensively, kingston literally just blinking at her. "it was just... it," she sighs dramatically, growing massively stressed out as she tries to put her feelings into words without being sus. "it was a nice kiss, ya know?"

"huh," he responds with a single word, pulling his legs into a criss-cross sitting position before speaking again. "tell me more."

"okay well we were at my friend-"

"woahhh," he interrupts her, raising his eyebrows. "i need backstory first, bro."

aurora sighs, throwing her head back for a moment before raising back up and speaking. "so first of all, we were best friends in elementary school. like that was my DAWG."

"now, what the fuck?" kingston is instantly taken aback, his eyes widening for a second before he begins to laugh. "but if getting you drunk makes you say dawg, we will be going to a lot of parties."

aurora begins to giggle. "dawg is such a funny word."

"for real," he agrees with a laugh as well. "so is splendid."

"yes oh my god!" aurora exclaims. "like the people that say 'well, i've had quite the splendid evening,'" she puts on a bit of a british accent when mocking the people she's talking about.

"you're so correct," he sighs, his laughter beginning to die down after a bit.

"you know, kingston," aurora says after a second, changing the topic as she leans forward to rest her chin on her hand. "you remind me of this guy i met once."

"huh," kingston responds, pausing for a small moment and then grinning. "is it your boyfriend matt?"

"no, it's not him!" she immediately responds, laughing just a bit from the accusation before continuing what she was talking about. "i met this guy at a party once i think."

"oh shit, what's his name?" he asks. "i probably know the dude."

"uhhh, that's a good question," aurora responds, frowning as she tries to think on what the mystery guys name was. "i want to say it was like... xavier or something?"

"xavier?" he questions, also thinking on it for a second before speaking again. "nah, i don't think i've met an xavier."

"honestly, it might've started with a Z i think?" she says in a questioning tone, not remembering one bit.

"bros name starts with a Z?" he raises his eyebrows at the girl, chuckling slightly because who the fuck? he's not sure if he's ever met someone whose name starts with that letter.

"i think so?" she just sighs, putting her hand down from where it was holding her chin and sitting up straighter. "don't disrespect his name! he was a cool guy."

"alright, alright. i wasn't even dissing the dude, i swear," he tells her, before instantly changing the topic to what it was before. "now, what's this about you and matty boy being buds?"

she sighs loudly, thinking back on the time and beginning to frown. the memories seem like they're from another life because of how distant they are. "yeah.. that was forever ago."

"okay well, i'm confused," he furrows his eyebrows. "you guys used to be besties but now you like 'hate' each other but also kiss each other?"

"woah, okay kingston," she narrows her eyes at him. "we've kissed ONE time!"

"i feel like that's not a normal amount of times for people who 'hate' each other," he tells her, shrugging when she groans.

"you know what?" she speaks suddenly, trying to stand up but going too fast and losing balance and ultimately ending back on the floor. kingston raises a hand to his mouth to prevent from laughing. "i should call him."

kingston pauses for a moment before responding to her suggestion. "i would usually tell you to like.. not drunk call people but since i'm weirdly invested in this whole matt thing... i'm gonna give you the go ahead, bro."

"okay," aurora nods, about to attempt at standing up again before deciding against it and suddenly frowning. "won't it be like... weird though?"

"why?"

"we kissed, kingston!" she exclaims, frustrated that he can't see the common sense of why it'd be weird.

"okay well," he sighs. "what'd you say after you kissed?"

aurora suddenly goes silent.

"aurora..."

"um."

"i mean... you said something, right?"

"okay well, um, i was just-"

"bro!" he groans, his eyes widening. "you can't just not say anything!"

probably not a good time to tell him she literally ran away from him after they kissed.

"well, i kinda just walked away without saying anything."

now, why the fuck did that just come out of her mouth?

"aurora!" he exclaims, beginning to rub at his eyes and shake his head because he's so severely disappointed in what he's hearing. "bro, you're killing me."

"okay, okay but listen!" she nearly yells back. "ever since then he's like.. been totally and completely avoiding me. he won't even look in my direction anymore so what am i supposed to do!"

"i fucking wonder why, you dumbass!" he actually begins to shout. "he finally shot his shot and practically you turned him down!"

"he wasn't shooting his shot!" aurora actually yells back now, in denial even when she's drunk.

"WHAT ELSE DOES A KISS FUCKING MEAN?"

"WE HATE EACH OTHER, YOU DUMB FUCK."

"SO?"

"SO!"

"SO WHAT? YOU CANT JUST REPEAT THE WORD WITHOUT ADDING ANYTHING."

"SO IT DOENST MAKE SENSE!"

he just shakes his head repeatedly before suddenly reaching forward and shaking her shoulders aggressively. "JUST CALL HIM ALREADY, BRO."

unfortunately though, him shaking her shoulders after their repetitive screaming back and fourth does not do what he wants. instead, it makes her very, extremely nauseous. so, when she opens her mouth to respond, she feels what's about to come out and instantly turns her head away from him.

kingston slowly drops his hands from her shoulders as she vomits all over the floor. he thanks whatever higher being there is that he's not that close of friends with whoever's house this is.

"okay," he sighs. "now we're definitely calling him."
