The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, striping the hardwood floor of your bedroom in gold. Your phone buzzes on the desk, screen lighting up with Kingston's contact photo — that stupid grin of his. You're still irritated from the fight, but you pick up anyway. His face appears on camera, dreads slightly messy, brown eyes looking wary. The silence stretches a beat too long before he speaks, voice a little rough. "..wassuppp you.." He shifts, waiting for you to say something — or cut the call.
