Chapter Text
George had been waiting for the 18th since he heard about the meteor shower. He and his friend Sapnap would go on a road trip to a field on the state’s south, buy some snacks, watch the thing, sleep on the trailer and head back the next day. But when he woke up on that morning, he realized he was not really on the mood.
- What do you mean “cancel”?? I already prepared the trailer!
- I’m just not excited anymore! - George argued while he put the phone on speaker
- Man, we’ve been planning this for weeks! You can’t just call and cancel it hours before!
- I can, and I am. I’m not in the mood to go.
- George, I don’t care if you’re not in the mood or- actually, why the hell are you “not in the mood”? You were the one the convinced me to go in the first place.
- Well, I don’t know… - he did know.
- Did something happen? You know you can tell me, man.
George looked at the breakfast in front of him. He remembered of the last time he had to make breakfast for two. It was so long ago…
- Nick, how long has it been since you dated seriously?
- Dude- I don’t know! Wha- are you asking me out?
George choked on his eggs - NO! What the hell, Sapnap?
- I’m JOKING. I don’t know, it’s been like… 3 months?
- Hm. - He grabbed his airpods and turned on the bluetooth on his phone. - It’s been a little longer for me.
- What do you mean with all of this?
- I don’t know, Sapnap. I’ve been feeling so… lonely recently.
- Why dude? We speak every single day, we play with the crew, Karl literally just bought the tickets to come here next month!
- You know the type of lonely I’m talking about.
They stayed in silence for a little while.
- I miss having someone with me. - He said while sinking on his chair. - I was thinking about the trip and- you know I like hanging out with you, but… I- I wish i had someone to do this trip with, and we would be together, and I would look at them, and the only thing i would wish on the meteor shower would be to be with them forever. You know?
-.. you sure you’re not hitting on me?
- I- ok, I’m just not going.
- C’mon George!! You can feel lonely but still go on the trip! Just pretend you like me for a while and forget about this. When we come back you’ll have plenty of time to sink in you hole of sadness.
- Ugh… fine.
- Really??
- Yeah. I’m heading to your house.
- That’s what I’m talking about! See you soon! Don’t forget to bring the money so we can buy the snack-
He hung up and washed the dishes. He still wasn’t on the mood, but he didn’t want to upset his best friend. They had known each other for years, and he was always there for him. He wouldn’t let him down.
He prepared his bag, grabbed his wallet and drove the 3 miles to Sapnap’s house.
- Hey man! Already out of your pit of loneliness?
- Oh, shut up Nicholas - he couldn’t help but smile.
- The car is ready. Let’s hit the road?
George looked at the sky. He would make that night great.
- Let’s hit it.
