Ziggy snorted, the sound half muffled by his pillow. âCute? Thatâs a new oneâŚâ He wasnât about to complain though; the less he gave off murderous vibes the better, probably. âIâll take it, anywayââ he cut himself off, hiding his face in the pillowcase for a second to stifle a yawn. âYou know⌠if youâre not super serious about photography, cameras are pretty easy. When youâre not trying to take a perfect shot, you literally justâŚâ Ziggy stretched out the arm heâd laid over Joey, miming the press of a shutter button. âThen again, the hassle of smashing it might not be worth it,â he relented, wearing a teasing smile as his arm dropped down again.
Did Joey not know what journalism was? Ziggy liked to think he was adept when it came to reading people, even strangers, but they were rarely as straightforward as Joey. It felt like he literally voiced every single thought that popped into his head, so long as it was vaguely relevant to the conversation. Something about that threw him off, made him second-guess everything - if only in his own mind. âKind of? Itâs mostly about⌠current events. You know, the news?â He didnât want to be condescending, but it was hard to tell what Joey didnât know. At the mention of glee club, Ziggy found himself fascinated. âOh, yeah⌠my high school had one of those. I was at couple of their performances, but they never really got pastâŚâ what were those competitions called again? ââŚthe second one.â Close enough. âWere you guys the real deal?â

Joey looked over at Ziggy when the other laughed, raising an eyebrow at the otherâs reaction when he called him cute. âWhat? People havenât called you cute before? Because⌠I think itâs pretty obvious.â He said with a small nod, as he looked over at the other as he stretched out his arm and kept talking about photography â Joey did like taking pictures, after all, his phone was always full because of all of the pictures he would usually take. âI just like taking pictures of everything I see⌠The other day, I saw a duck that looked funny and I took like ten pictures of it. It was pretty cool though.â He said with a small chuckle, as he listened to what Ziggy had to say.
âOh, the news⌠I get that. So, like the weather and things like that, right? I donât usually watch the news because I donât understand what theyâre doing and itâs a lot of things to read⌠But Iâm glad that you like it.â He said with a smile, before looking over at Ziggy as they started talking about the glee club. Just talking about it made Joey miss it, but he knew that he couldnât go back since he had somehow graduated from high school. âRegionals? Thatâs pretty sad⌠But I think we were pretty good, I mean, we won Nationals two years in a row. And the other clubs were pretty good too. I just donât miss the drama of it all, honestly. But it was fun.â Joey said as he clicked on one of the videos from their performances and showed it to Ziggy, before pointing at the screen. âSee, thatâs me.â He said with a smile, before nodding his head as he kept watching the video. âCan you sing? Because you kind of look like you could sing, but I could be wrong about that.â
