Noah laughed, as he tucked the phone between his shoulder and his ear, using his hands to move his textbooks to his desk. “‘Cause he’s got one now and he thinks we’re, and I quote, ‘TikTok-able.”

There was another pause. “Is that…good?”

“What are you like fifty?” He teased, jumping back onto his now cleared mattress. “Babe, TikTok’s been a thing for at least a year now.”

“I know what it is,” James assured with a chuckle. “I do have a phone you know— this thing I’m talking to you through?” 

“Hmm,” Noah hummed with a smile. He was getting used to this whole ‘having a boyfriend’ thing. It also freaked him out, how much he liked it. 

“Do you want to do a TikTok?” 

Noah snorted. “No.”

“Good, you had me panicking for a second.”

“Would you have done it if I asked?” Noah asked, propping himself onto his elbows, a surprised grin of amusement pulling onto his features. 

“Probably.” 

“Fuck,” Noah cursed, playfully. “I should have said ‘yes’.”

“What’s Logan doing on that app anyway?”

Falling back onto his back, Noah shrugged even though James couldn’t see him. “I have no idea. I think Sophia made him do it, you know, so they could duet or whatever.” 

“That’s…” he hesitated to come up with a word. “Weird.”

“What? You don’t want to share our love with millions of watchers through short clips of us dancing to annoying pop music?”

“Hmm, let me think of that one. That’s going to be a ‘no’ from me.” 

“Too bad, we could have been famous. TikTok Canada would have been quaking.”

“I hate this conversation,” James declared, but Noah could sense the smile on his face. 

“I’m going to get the app just to piss you off.” 

“I will never trust you with a camera pointed at me again, you do know that right?” 

“You’ll never know when I’ll strike,” Noah continued. “One day you might be plastered on billboards in Dundas Square in one of those TikTok ads.” 

“I’m going to hang up on you.”

“You’d never,” Noah challenged, finding it embarrassing how his cheeks were hurting from smiling so much.

“You’re right, and I don’t like it.”
