“Oh, you’re on Telegram Kaiser?” Ness peaked over Kaiser’s shoulder as he scanned the contents of his screen.
The taller took notice and shifted his gaze to the noisy boy, Kaiser quickly stashed his second hand samsung deep in his pocket. “hmm, oh yea. I don’t use it much, though. Only for the executives and stuff.”
The two were sent off to roam free wherever they wanted to go after their gruelling sessions. Kaiser and Ness were probably the closest duo in their training camp. Even their teammates started to question are they actually friends or related?
(Though, they’d never have the guts to say it to their face. They were both, well you know - scary.)
The inseparable pair found their way down town, just a few blocks down from their stadium to grab some grub. Kaiser was at first, sceptical - though, Ness used some sort of wack ass magic that managed to drag Kaiser through the bustling crowds of Munich.
“Want to add eachother? we already have eachothers numbers so…”
Kaiser came to an abrupt stop as the words sunk in, missing a step and almost tripping. The shorter slightly jerked at the sudden movement. “Ah, we dont have to…if you dont use it too much-“
“No, its fine. We can.” Ness could’ve swore he saw a hint of a smile flicker on the other’s face - he shook his head immediately removing the thought as Kaiser pulled out his phone once more, tab open to his details.
A soft breath escaped Kaiser at the sparkle of the younger’s eyes as Ness swiftly yanked out his phone and entered the digits in. Kaiser raised an eyebrow, intrigued at how speedy his friend was able enter numbers. (keeping in mind, it probably wouldve taken the blonde a hot minute.)
Kaiser was immediately pulled out of his train of thought at a short giggle from the other, “pffft, what is this photo of you…”
Kaiser’s eyebrows knit together at the sudden mockery, quickly snatching his phone to see his own profile.
“Whats wrong with it?”
“Its just your passport photo!”
Oh, right.
Okay, to be fair, the only photos in Kaiser’s camera roll was his passport photo - that was shot when he was free from jail - a random photograph of a wall that he might’ve accidentally taken and some pretty flowers Ness helped take a photo of.
So, when Telegram asked him to put a profile picture, he just used the first photo in his camera roll.
“I dont care if you dont like it, stupid." the now aggravated teen elbowed his teammate as the dark haired boy laughed out loud - Kaiser just clicked his tongue.
“Okay, okay fine. here, let me choose for you.” Alexis finally calmed down and smiled, offering his hand to the taller.
Of course it isnt Kaiser without an eye-roll and a few mumbles before handing over his phone to the younger.
After a few beeps and boops, with Ness scrolling through his own phone and looking back at Kaiser’s, it was finally returned to him after waiting 4 whole minutes.
Upon looking down at his screen, his profile picture had changed.
“When did it change to this?” the taller stares puzzled, moving the phone up slightly to remove the glare. Ness scowled.
“It was when we went to that one cafe, remember? Where you made a fuss when the worker forgot to remove the milk in your drink.”
“Hey, I asked her nicely ONCE and all she did was spit in my drink and gave it back.”
Kaiser glared with a side eye as Ness burst out laughing, wiping tears. The younger quickly halted as the older scoffed way too meanly.
“Sorry, do you not like it? I can change it back.”
Kaiser turns his head, eyes looking off somewhere, “no, it's just...”
“It's just what?”
“I like it.” Ness’ friend nonchalantly glanced at him, digging his phone back into his pocket once more. Ness blinks at him.
“You do?”
“Yeah, it's cute.”
The shorter rolled his shoulders back and loosely gripped his hands behind him, gaze lingering on the taller.
Kaiser was unfazed.
They both just stare at the direction theyre walking, Ness playing with his thumbs - but apparently Micheal has eyes at the back of his head because he noticed straight away, an eyebrow raising slightly, the shorter sallowed.
“That's good to know."
