｡˚꩜ ℍe walked down the late summer streets, The bright sun giving off a cosy warmth as he scrolled on his phone. It had been a few minutes since [____] had left the house, He wasn't sure what he could do at the time. It was really embarrassing to admit, But he didn't exactly have friends to hang out with.

Sure he had coworkers he chatted to whenever at work, Some of them call him a friend but they don't really act like one.. The few friends he did have weren't in much contact each having their own lifes and jobs, Whenever one had free time and could finally hang out, much like our mc here, mostly everyone else was too busy with their family's or work.

right.. family..

The (h/c) stopped in his tracks, Pausing as his thumb hovered above the screen of his phone. The guy was, what? In his early twenties now, Usually by his age people were engaged or married normally with a family of their own. Or at the very least dating someone.

[____] however had been single since high school, He didn't know why but after middle school he just became more awkward around people and began to get more stuttery and fidgety whenever someone wanted to befriend him. He made around three or so friends there, He hadn't dated anyone but there was this one time hookup with someone named Jamie.

"Oh-.. I'm really pathetic aren't i?" he spoke allowed, Looking up to the sky in thought before feeling the device in his right hand vibrate. "mmh?" he raised a brow before answering the call, Not paying attention to the caller id.

"Dollface! I um... need a favour.." The caller was Carson, He sounded.. strange. [____] sighed and began to walk as he responded with a simple; "what is it?" Carson shifted something before speaking. "Well, I was in such a rush and all that i forgot my lunch.. So.. I was wondering if you could pop to a small diner real quick and pick something up? I'll give you $13 extra~"

"deal. What is it you're wanting? And which diner?" he quickly responded, He'd never give up a time to get some free cash. Carson said that he'd send [_____] a message with the few things he'd want and which diner to get it from, Along with of course sending him around $35 dollars for the food and "[____]'s rushing delivery service!"

After a few goodbyes the (h/c) hung up and looked for the diner's name, He paused seeing it and smiled softly. Perhaps he could see him before leaving..

▄▬▬ ▬　（　♡　）　▬ ▬▬▄

Within a small 80's themed diner were long, red seats a light wooden table in front of them. Sitting alone by a table was the (h/c) male, Wearing a black jacket over his (patterned?) shirt since the building was so much colder than outside. In his hands was a menu, He already knew what he was ordering but he didn't want to look more awkward and lonely than he was.

His ears mentally perked as he heard the some wheels rolling on the wooden floor. "Are you finished looking sad (nickname)?" a familiar voice called out, [____]'s head snapped up to see a brunette stood there, His eyes matching his dark locks.

"I'm not that lonely Mattie!" he resorted, Smirking towards the smaller male as he watched the man frown. "I told you not to call me that-" "and I told you not to call me that nickname either!" [____] cut him off, Leaning on the palm of his hand, His eyes half open with a smirk planted on his (s/t) face.

"mattie" only rolled his eyes out of annoyance, Moving the small notepad from his left hand and holding it under his arm and he crossed his arms. "Riiiight, That won't be happening anytime soon. I love seeing how you're face gets heated." he snickered.

[____] then realised the rising heat from his face before slamming his hands onto the table and shouting at the smaller male, "H-hey! IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!" he paused, looking around the place before awkwardly sitting back into his seat.

"right, right.. Sorry." Matt paused, Looking around for a moment before rasing a brow. "Seriously though, You're all alone? I would've thought that you'd at least bring a college or something.." he shook his head, "Anyways! What can i get for my dear?"

"uh.. A cheese grill and.. a strawberry tart?" He said, Looking at the message on his phone. "seriously? I could've just gone to a fucking grocary store or made it myself?" he muttered before looking back to Matt. "And i'll have a (drink) as well, Thanks Mathew."

The brunette nodded, Quickly jolting down the order as he glanced up to her with a cheeky grin. "Who's this for?" [____] stared at him for a moment before yawning, "A friend of mine, He forgot his lunch and's paying me to grab him some." Mathew paused for a second, Staring into his eyes before putting on a forced smile.

"Great, I'll have the order as quick as i can!" he turned around, "Oh and after i finish my shift we should go to the arcade! Y'know just like the old times. I'll pay if you want, I should finish around one?" he looked up in thought, Glancing over towards his friend for an answer.

the (h/c) shrugged with a small nod, "surree-" he was cut off by the familiar sound of Mathew's boss yelling from behind the counter.

"NESS! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF YOUR BOYFRIEND AND WAIT THESE TABLES!" the two of the male's faces heated slowly before Matt rushed off, Nearly tripping on his skates and stumbling over to the kitchen to give the (h/c)'s order. All while said tired man stared at him with the same flustered expression.

▄▬▬ ▬　（　♡　）　▬ ▬▬▄

"Jesus! You're getting payed four dollars?" It was one in the afternoon, Mathew had finished his shift and [____] had given Carson his lunch, The two were now walking around a fairly large park just talking about what each other had missed the past few months.

"yeah." The (h/c) respond, Kicking a rock as he walked. The jacket was wrapped around his waist, The white trousers he wore was now folded up past his knees. The heat just continued to come and everyone seemed to have similar ideas or just walked around half naked or in swim wear.

"an.. hour?" Matt asked once again, His face was unsure as he thought before shaking his head and grabbing his phone as he blinked. "four.. times.. how many hours do you work again?" he stopped walking abruptly, Asking the question as he wiped some sweat from his forehead.

"what? Oh um.. It depends, Usually i'm working from six to five but on weekends i do from nine to one." [____] said, Pointing his finger in the air for no particular reason while doing so. "Gee, is it me or has the heat grew like.. nine degrees?" he wondered, Sipping more of his now warm and/or flat (drink) before making a disgusted face.

"You're working FOUR HOURS AND GETTING PAID THAT!?" he shouted in surprise, "and your doing around the same job as me right? A waiter at a cafe?" he coughed and put his phone away. "actually, let's continue this at my house, I'm getting way too warm.. I think i'm gonna faint soon-"

The (h/c) agreed and the two called for a taxi, Knowing both of them wouldn't be able to make it to Matt's house before fainting and/or dying once hitting the patio.

▄▬▬ ▬　（　♡　）　▬ ▬▬▄

"Okay but seriously, You've got to quit that job. It's not paying you enough at all! Four dollars an hour is only like.. $16 a day right?" he paused, looking off to the side. "I'm sure that's a bit above average pay, But you live in the wealthy side of town right?"

"exactly, I'm trying my best to save up so i can move out but that money seems to just disappear from either Rose or due to being late for bills and such." the (h/c) huffed, The two men were currently in the living room of Mathew's home. Both stripped off, Only wearing their underwear. With two air cons blowing a nice cold breeze to the pair.

[_____] licked his ice-cream while Matt drunk his fresh coke. "Sounds like shit, Rose.. Is this your roommate?" our main character nodded and bit some of the wafer cone. "And she's not helping out at all? She sounds like a bitch.. How come you haven't kicked her out yet? I'm sure you could find a better house mate than her." he wondered, His chocolate eyes glazing over towards his friend.

the (s/t) man just shrugged with a small frown as he closed his eyes, "I'm not sure.. I mean, We've been friends for a while so.. I guess i just don't want to lose her? Even if she's being a bit.. weird recently.."

"Weird?" Matt raised a brow, Leaning forward as he waited for more contex. [____] opened his right eye and licked more of his ice-cream before speaking; "Yeah, I mean she's always been flirtatious and all but she's got a boyfriend and.. although he seems to have the same interest she's been more forceful lately.." he trailed off, Looking into Matt's eyes with a frown, "I don't really wanna get into it right now."

Matthew nodded and drank the rest of his beverage, "Right.. Well, Back to the original statement; You should quit you're job, You're working three jobs right? One being a shitty pay for how much extra things you do within the job. Another being one you're getting skanked with by a quote on quote "friend" of yours and another being just.. slow."

[____] watched his waiter friend talk, And while he did he realised how little he was getting payed. Sure, All together it would probably be more than enough for someone living in a normal place but for him and where he was currently stuck at.. It was completely shitty! It was just enough to make small meals for him, Carson and Rose and barley enough to keep up with the bills, rent and charges Rosaline puts on his card everyday.

"Right.. I'll quit once i find a well paying job, But.. ughhh" he groaned, Finishing his ice-cream and flopping back onto the sofa, His left arm covering his eyes. "Where on earth am i going to find a place like that?!"

Matt stared for a while, A smile growing onto his lips before speaking with a prideful tone. "Well.. It just so happens that the two of us has an extremely close friend who co-owns a certain mall." That made the (h/c) hover his arm above him, His (e/c) eyes moving towards the brunette with a confused look.

"What're you talking about, who?" Matthew smirked,

"Sam."
