Chapter Text
"Shit, shit, shit, shit." Elliot whispered under his breath. He poked desperately at the call button on his phone screen.
A few hours ago when he regained his senses he realized Chance was gone.
"Admins! Why did I do that?! They probably think I hate them!" A tear fell down Elliot's face as the call went to voice mail for the 9th time.
"Chance please pick up the phone! I'm so, so, so sorry! I shouldnt've snapped at you!" Elliot's desperately pleas were met with silence. On the tenth call, it went through, but the voice that came through the speaker was not Chance.
"Who the FUCK are you? Why do you keep calling?" The voice asked.
"Hi I'm Elliot, I- I was looking for Chance?"
"Oh are you that cashier Chance won't shut up about?"
"Um- what...?" Elliot's mind spiraled.
Does he like me? I hope so... wait does that mean I'm gay??
(Mom... am I GAY?! ahh 🤦♀️😂 alr mb lwk gon sybau now)
Wait... this is really bad, like way worse than before, I was so mean to him, why did I do that, Im so dumb!
"You still there? I would prefer not to waste anymore of my night. If you wanna talk to him then you're outta luck he kinda blacked out when you got mad at him."
The line cut off.
"ADMINS!" Elliot decided he would call Chance in the morning
****
White text that read "Eli" lit up Chance's phone as it rung.
They scrambled to get their shit together. He picked up and immediately heard Elliot's voice blast through the speaker.
"OH MY GOD CHANCE IM EXTREMELY SORRY I WASN'T THINKING AND I'LL NEVER SAY THAT TO YOU EVER AGAIN-"
"Eli calm down! It's okay!"
They spent an hour trying to convince Elliot everything was fine.

"Would you like to grab some coffee later today Eli?"
Elliot's heart leaped and his breath caught in his throat.
"Um... yes, I would love that," Elliot breathed.
"Great! See you later then!"
