You clicked submit on your last assignment of the day. After a couple of seconds, the confirmation popped up on your screen, ensuring your assignment was submitted and was on time. Sighing, you ran a hand down your face and looked up at the clock - 7:30 pm. You ventured into the kitchen, looking for some food to eat, but couldn’t find any. After doing one last look around your kitchen, you decided to give up trying to scrape up food from your house and go get food from some fast food place. However, you didn't want to go alone, so you picked up your phone and scrolled through your messages looking for the one person you wanted to spend time with right now.

You smiled, closing the messages app. Now you had someone to get food with. Deciding to look at least a little bit more presentable, even though you doubted if Alex even would care, you went into your room. You opened up your laptop that lay there, and logged onto twitch, deciding to watch the last of Alex’s jackbox stream as you fixed your appearance. You washed your face, put your hair into a really loose bun, and looked through your drawers for a hoodie to put on since it seemed a bit cold outside. You came across one of the merch hoodies Alex had given you the other day, and slipped it on. You picked up your laptop and went into the living room, waiting for Alex to end his stream. 

A couple minutes after you sat down on your couch, you heard your best friend’s voice ring out from your computer. 

“Okay guys, I think I’m gonna end here.” he started, waving at his camera, ignoring and dismissing any requests from everyone else on the call to stay on longer or join for their stream. 

“Guys, guys, I have something else I have to do, I have to go,” he said, laughing. “I promise I’ll stream tomorrow alright? Does that satisfy you chat?” he said, jeering as he put a hand under his head and tilted it. “Bye chat” he said, shaking his head and laughing. The “stream ended” screen flashed onto your laptop, and you closed your computer.

As soon as you did that, your phone screen lit up with a call from Alex. Smiling, you answered the phone. 

“Hey” you said, as you looked at the clock, finding 8pm. 

“Hola chica” he replied back, as you heard the sounds of car keys in the background. “I’m so hungry,” he started as you heard the sound of his car door close. “You better be ready when I come over cause I am not waiting for you,” he said, and then he hung up. Rolling your eyes, you slipped your shoes on and grabbed your wallet knowing it wouldn’t take him that long to drive over. Sitting down on the bench you had by your door, you went on instagram and scrolled through your explore page and waited. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP” You looked up from our phone and peered through your window. You see your best friend with a shit-eating grin and aviator sunglasses on, honking the horn unrelentlessly. Worried about annoying the neighbors, you quickly run outside and hopped in the passenger seat of Alex’s car. 

“What the fuck dude” you say as you buckle your seatbelt in and put your phone down, leaning back in the seat. 

He said nothing in response to your inquiry, instead laughing and taking in your appearance. “Nice hoodie,” he said, smirking. You looked down to see what you’re wearing, seeing his merch hoodie. 

“It’s comfy.” you said, crossing your arms and looking out the window, a little embarrassed. 

“I know,” he replies, laughing again, “I designed it chica!” he said. Changing the topic, he looked down at his phone, “So where are we going to eat?” 

You thought about your options as Alex started backing out of the driveway. “I’m fine with either McDonald’s or Taco bell.” you stated, “You choose out of those two.” You told him as  you turned your head away from the window to look at him. Keeping one hand on the wheel and the other on the center counsel, he glanced over at you and pondered his options. 

“Let’s go to Taco Bell,” he said, turning right in order to get there. Wordlessly, he handed you the aux and you played the shared playlist the two of you have. With the music softly playing in the background, you two talked about the most random things until you got to the drive through. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hello, what can I get for you today?” the voice from the machine spoke through, interrupting whatever conversation the two of you had. 

“Uhhhhh” he started, eyes moving around the menu board in front of him. “Can I have a quesarito and a coke?” he said and gestured at you to go.

“Can I have (insert order here)?” you asked.

“Of course!” the worker said through the machine, “Please pull up to the next window.”

Alex and you both nodded, even though the person in the machine couldn’t even see you. He pulled up, and grabbed the food. You quickly gave the worker your card so Alex couldn’t pay. He glared at you and you ignored it, talking to the worker and wishing them a nice rest of the evening. He rolled his window back up, and glanced over at you and started to talk “Excuse me,” 

You looked up from the bags of food and raised your eyebrow, “what?”

“Why didn’t you let me pay?”

“Cause you drove us here, and plus we both know you’re too poor to afford it.” He scoffed and rolled his eyes, not bothering to argue with you anymore. “Are you gonna drive back home?” you asked as you looked through the bags again, hungry. 

“No, I have an idea.” he said, and merged onto the 2 lane highway, stepping on the gas since there was no one else there. You gripped the handle above the door, worried for your personal safety. He turned up the music and rolled down the windows, obviously wanting to make this more memorable than before. You smiled and stuck one arm out the window and he did the same - all while being safe. You laughed and screamed the words to the songs as they played. 

He took an exit off of the highway and drove into the parking lot of this overlook. The sky was studded with stars, and a slight breeze was going through the sky. He got out of the car and popped open the trunk, opening up the blanket that was there. “Y/N!” he called “come here!”

You got out of the car and smiled, quickly turning back to grab the food. You hopped into the trunk, Alex close behind. You looked up at the sky and marveled in the beauty of the stars. He grabbed his bag of food from you, and started eating his quesarito. You started eating your food as well, leaning your head on his shoulder as he leaned his head on top of yours. You both ate in silence, enjoying each other’s presence. You were glad that Alex was your best friend, you both could rely on one another for anything. taco bell’s nacho fries > everything else in life
