Work Text:
seven stares into the dark blue curtains, darkness surrounds their bedroom as insomnia took over their body. they tried to sleep at least two hours ago, who knows what time it is now.
"come on...sleep, just sleep.."
they tossed and turned on the bed, directing their eyes to the night light shinning on their bedside table, illuminating a warm yellow light then to the photos of them and five. that gave them an idea, seven grabbed their phone from afar. they squinted their eyes once the bright lockscreen meets their eyes, they turned the brightness down and messaged five.
7: five
7: fiv
7: hlep I cant sleep
7: bud
7: fibe
no response, of course. it's about 2AM, who's even awake at this moment? no one except seven. they tried calling five but there was no response too, they gave up and switched off their phone. they sighed.
seven stared at the ceiling, thinking that their eyes will end up going tired and dozing off until a notification from their phone alerted them.
5: what
7: omg ur awake too?!?!??!
5: now since you called me and messaged me like
5: 5 times...
7: heh get it??? five??
5: wow peak comedy I'm laughing so hard rn
5: rofl rn
7: wanna call??
7: i cant sleep lmfao
5: whatever, I cant sleep so why not
seven clicked on the call button, their voice meeting fives. both of them sound tired, while one seems more hyper than the other.
"how are youuu??"
"fine."
"you good?"
"yes, just why do you want to talk to me at 2:16 AM"
"cant sleep, I texted you that, remember?"
"oh. yeah."
silence. nothing but just light breathing from both. seven thought for a bit, then asked:
"so uhhh....wanna hangout tomorrow?"
"I guess"
"I heard they have a new cafe, maybe we should go there!"
"yeah, I need a coffee break. when do we meet?"
"umm...well what time are you comfortable?"
"does...7:30 sound good?"
"heh, seven..like me"
"I swear."
"ok ok sure!"
seven chuckled lightly, talking to five comforted them. who would've known? two friends who argue all the time became close, they start to talk to eachother more, they call and hangout everytime, it's like they were completely different than they were before.
time passes by, as five was rambling about some books they read. seven interrupted them.
"like I said, Colleen Hoover SUCKS at writing, i don't get how she has support. you know the book I recently read from her since I didn't know who she is-
"five?"
"yeah?"
"are we like...best friends?"
"I suppose"
"its funny how we started with arguing and here we are..."
"...calling eachother every night and enjoying eachothers company"
"mm. yeah, strange how that happened"
there was silence again, both of them felt kind of flustered. they didn't really know what to say. how awkward...
"seven."
"hm?"
"can we uh...wait, nevermind."
"awww...what is it??"
"can I text you? I feel embarrassed"
"sure!"
seven returned to their chat with five, waiting for five to finish texting.
5: can we like, go on a date?
5: I'm fine with you saying no
5: omg this is embarrassing kms
seven was shook, they were surprised that five was the one who recommended the idea. they were about to do it first but now since five did it, they felt relieved. relieved over the pain of rejection and embarrassment.
7: OMG???? YEAHHHH OFC
5: OH THANK GOD YAY
7: ARE WE GONNA MEET AT THE CAFE I MENTIONED????
5: YEAH SURE
seven heard a relieved sigh from five after they agreed, they chuckled as a big smile formed on their face.
"so uh...excited yeah?"
"yes...oh my gosh I thought I was gonna be like those depressing rejection love stories"
"well glad we're not like that! oh and uh sorry for interrupting, you can finish what you were saying"
"saying wha-OHH Colleen Hoover?"
"yep, I like to hear you ramble. probably the only rambling ill listen to"
five giggled as they continued ranting. seven smiled and happily listened to five's rant as their voices drifts in the atmosphere.
IDK HOW TO END IT BUH
