Work Text:
Aleksi groaned and grabbed his phone, prying his eyes open.
[Unknown number: 3:37am]
Unknown
Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Aleksi blinked at his phone, who the hell was sending him a text so early? And why were they sending him Aerosmith lyrics?
Me
Who is this?
Unknown
Oh come on, you know me.
Aleksi frowned.
Me
Robin?
Unknown
No?
Me
Then who are you!?
Unknown
Uhhh
Wait.
Oh fuck
Sorry wrong number.
Me
Well yeah
Who were you sending Aerosmith lyrics to?
I mean it's a great song but random for 3 in the morning
Unknown
A friend of mine had a first date
I told him that if it didn't go well I would make sure he would get some romance
Me
Hence the lyrics
Unknown
Yep
He just got a new number, I must have mistyped it
Me
It's ok
That's actually really sweet of you
Cheering your friend up
Unknown
He's my best friend
It was send him cheesy lyrics or track down the bad date
I chose the path of least violence
Me
Ha! I feel the same with my friends
Although I think I would choose violence for them
Unknown
Tbh I would too if I need to
Me
Well, it seems like they have a good friend then
I gotta get some sleep, I'm meeting with some guys for work in the morning
Goodnight:)
Unknown
Yeah me too
Goodnight stranger <3
I think your friends have a good friend too
Aleksi read and reread the late night exchange several times as he got ready to meet up with Blind Channel the next morning; he had already met up with Joel and Joonas of course and there was a 99% chance they would be collaborating on a song or two, but he still wanted to be as professional as possible so he tried to put it out of his head, especially as he got to the studio to meet the rest of the band.
But it was hard, he found himself thinking about the stranger on and off all day, wondering if he and his friend were doing better.
"I think we definitely have something here," Niko said by the end of the day, "let's all meet up again soon."
Aleksi smiled and nodded, he had been pleasantly surprised how well he got along with everybody there, and they certainly had treated him just like one of them, chatting like it was a normal day.
But when Tommi bemoaned his date gone wrong, it just made him think of the stranger again and he had to drag his attention back to the people in front of him.
Not that it was very hard; he and Olli especially had clicked and he had found himself sitting by the bassist the majority of the day while they went through song lyrics and beats and he showed them what he could put together with his percussion and production abilities.
"Hey, let's exchange numbers." Olli said as they all started to gather their things, "I want to send you that video I told you about."
Aleksi smiled, "of course," he said, taking Olli's phone and adding his number.
Olli smiled and looked his phone, his expression turning to one of shock for a moment before Aleksi felt his phone buzz with a new message.
It was the chat from the night before

For you, Ale
Aleksi's head snapped up to look at Olli, a shy, somewhat embarrassed smile on the other man's face.
Me
Thanks Olli <3
He smiled back and decided to go out on a limb.
"Want to get a drink?" He asked.
Olli laughed in relief, "I'd like that."
Aleksi saved Olli's number in his phone, and they were off, hopefully to have a better night then Tommi had had.
