𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: i did

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: says you. do you really think teddy would have punched me again?

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: not my best work but i guess i am?? is that too weird?

*three minutes later*

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: ... i'm really happy to hear that

mikel: i do

mikel: i don't think one punch in the face would have stopped you from keep talking and provoking her

mikel: it's a little weird but i like it

LOCATION : the soccer field

For no reason he’s already lying on the grass of the field, even if it was a bit cold, it didn’t bother him at all. It had been so long since he had done it, that it felt right. He’s not really keeping track of how long he’s been waiting for Dylan but he feels it hasn’t been that long. It’s not until a figure covers the dim light of the moon that he opens one eye to look up and lo and behold there she stands. “You are two minutes late,” he says, teasingly as he pretends to look at his watch which is non-existent. Mikel sits down on the grass, a smile already playing on his lips as he pulls what he had promised from his pocket. “Under the bleachers or here? Your call.” 

LOCATION : the mall

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: right

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: for the record, the situation was under control despite what you think you saw

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: i'm not :(

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: well, that worked out pretty great

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: i mean i wouldn't mind kissing you again, if we're still being honest with each other

mikel: yeah right...

mikel: you def wouldn't have ended up with two black eyes

mikel: pretty great huh? yeah i agree

mikel: are you flirting with me rn?

*two minutes later*

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: yes?? the logical step would have been to help teddy

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: not that i'm complaining about you helping me or everything else that happened ... i'm definitely not

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: it just made things extremely confusing

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: just you wait

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: what can i say? i know what i want

mikel: it looked like you needed more help

mikel: mmmm it sounds like you are complaining

mikel: i didn't plan on making it confusing. i guess it just happened

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: thanks it's my specialty

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: 200 that's not too bad, thought you were gonna say like 1200

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: oh nice

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: yes perfect see you then

mikel: such a talent you have

mikel: i guess i got lucky that you appeared before i had swipe over a thousand times

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: by fighting with me all the time and then helping me when i'm hurt, saying that i always have you attention, and kissing me. do i need to go on?

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: okay

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: just because you're bigfoot, doesn't mean i can't find a way to reach you

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: guess i'm about to look real adorable then when i give you a black eye. i'll be sure to bring a cold can of beer to tend to you afterward tho

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: good to know

mikel: when you put it that way

mikel: but what was i supposed to do? not help you? the rest well... it just happened. i didnt plan it

mikel: i'd like to see you try

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: if i do that, it's because you confuse me

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: what version do you want?

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: i mean it was a figure of speech but if you want to get literal, yes. watch your face

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: that's because i wasn't

mikel: how do i confuse you?

mikel: the nice one, the one who smiles and can take a joke

mikel: i'm not looking at you but i know you look cute when you try to threaten me even if you lack the inches to punch me in the face

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: i mean, i feel like i'm being perfectly clear but what mixed signals am i sending you?

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: watch your back then

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: ????

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: go for it, i'm actually interested in seeing what you think it is i don't find annoying about you

mikel: i dont know but you've always done that

mikel: see? sometimes i come up with good idea

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: sounds like it was

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: maybe one day

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: i just meant either one of us could cold. didn't wanna like discriminate who's more likely to get cold

𝐝𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐧: i feel like yes but don't take my word for that

mikel: let me know if you do

mikel: you're SO thoughtful

mikel: maybe in the soccer field? idk

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: i think i do

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: so we both hope it wasn't a one time thing ...

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: yeah except i would have never punched her

𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐚: why?

mikel: seems like it

mikel: never is a strong word. also, is it because you can't throw a punch?

mikel: because it's you

mikel: because it's me
