Chapter Text
(Saturday AM)
(8:30) Are you mad at me because we beat you at soccer?
(8:35) Must've been a tough loss if the person you won't talk to you afterwards.
(8:36) What are you talking about Potter?
(8:36) Oh shit! New phone, this is the wrong number!
(8:37) Yeah. What was the score?
(8:38) You just ask random people their soccer scores?
(8:39) Why not? I mean there's nothing good on tv right now.
(8:41) Because it's weird?
(8:43) I have a special place in my heart for soccer.
(8:44) The score was 12-9
(8:45) That's not that bad.
(8:47) No, it isn't.
(8:47) Good Luck with your friend.
(8:50) Good luck with tv.

(PM)
(11:30) His phone "died"
(11:31) Wrong number again, or just an update?
(11:32) Just an update.
(11:33) Well, thanks I guess.
(11:34) Why are you still up?
(11:35) I could ask the same of you random stranger.
(11:36) I am at an after game party. Your turn.
(11:37) I'm finishing a shift at work.
(11:39) Texting at work? You must be a model employee.
(11:40) Employee of the month 3 months in a row smart arse.
(11:42) How did you pull that off?
(11:43) Skill, random stranger.
(11:44) You keep calling me random stranger. There a reason behind it?
(11:44) Stranger danger.
(11:46) I mean, my name is Draco. So that makes me sort of less of a stranger right?
(11:50) Who names their child Draco?
(11:51) And what's wrong with the name Draco?
(11:52) I could write you a list, of what's wrong with the name Draco.
(11:53) The name Draco is awesome.
(11:55) If you have to say your name is awesome, it's obviously not awesome.
(12:00) Excuse you.
(12:15) You should come back, this party is boring, and your sass is delightful.
(12:17) I mean, you at least owe me your name. I gave you mine.
(12:20) I didn't ask you for your name. You just gave it to me.
(12:21) You're so cruel.
(12:22) I try.
(12:23) Oh really?
(12:30) I've got work in the morning. Talk to you later /Draco/.
(12:31) You can't leave me at a this boring party alone!
(12:33) Come back!
(12:50) I have been abandoned
(1:30) You stink.
***
(Sunday AM)
(7:30) It's rude to tell people they stink.
(8:00) Who leaves someone alone at a party?
(8:05) Someone with a life?
(8:07) What's a life?
(8:10) I go to a boarding school, I don't know what this is.
(8:20) Where did you go?
(8:25) Have you abandoned me again?
(10:30) We were going through a breakfast rush.
(10:35) Huh?
(10:36) You know when you go to a place that serves food, and there are a lot of people there?
(10:38) Yeah?
(10:45) It's called a rush. There's one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well.
(10:46) Seems fun.
(11:00) It is incredibly stressful.
(11:11) Sorry about it.
(11:15) Well, work is work.
***
(11:16) Who do you keep texting?
(11:17) A friend.
(11:18) Why do you want another friend? You have me.
(11:19) You are breaking my heart Daniel.
(11:20) I worry about you Riley.
(11:22) Stop texting that person immediately if you love me.
(11:23) You don't own me.
(11:24) Soon, I will be your boss.
(11:25) Over my dead body.
(11:26) That can be arranged.
(11:26) Then I won't have to worry about you texting other people.
(11:27) Dibs on the elderly couple by the window.
(11:27) Dibs on the elderly couple by the window.
(11:27) Piss off.
(11:28) Gotta be quicker than that.
***
(Tuesday AM)
(12:30) Do you ever have those people in your life that you just hate with a passion, and they still manage to make you feel... different?
(12:35) Hello to you too! And my life is a series of people I hate, but I don't know about the second part.
(12:36) I hate nearly everyone. But maybe you can help to a degree?
(12:40) I mean I guess I could?
(12:41) Okay, the person from the other day
(12:41) He's honestly a pretty great person when we are alone
(12:41) But in front of other people
(12:41) He's a Twat?
(12:42) Well, I was gonna say rude...
(12:43) He sounds like a real twat.
(12:44) I mean...
(12:45) So what else?
(12:50) So basically, our first year, we didn't get along, and not so much our second year either. But our third year, his uncle was in a lot of trouble, and so we sort of started getting closer, and then his fourth year he was in this huge competition and he lost his friend.
(12:52) This boy has a very dramatic life. Sorry he lost his mate though.
(12:53) Indeed. It was very sad for the entire school.
(12:54) And we've been sort of seeing each other without anyone really knowing, and I wanted to go public with it last year, but he decided that it wasn't the best idea, so we have been putting it off for a while now.
(12:55) Tragic.
(12:56) Could you at least try to be sympathetic?
(12:58) How tragic?
(12:59) Nvm, I don't expect a stranger to really care.
(1:00) Well, I'm up at 1 in the morning, might as well keep going. My constant battle with the telly to get a good channel continues.
(1:01) Well, whenever I bring it up, he sort of just avoids the subject, and he went and got himself a girlfriend.
(1:02) Draco....
(1:03) ... Yes?
(1:04) Are you sleeping with a boy who has a girlfriend?
(1:07) Your silence either means you've disappeared, or that you are actually a relationship wrecker...
(1:09) HE INITIATES IT!
(1:10) Now you better stop that yelling right there sir.
(1:11) Sorry.
(1:13) Now Draco, you should not mess with a boy in a relationship, whether he wants you to or not, because when the girlfriend finds out, she's gonna forgive him a lot more easily than she's gonna forgive you.
(1:15) Thanks for the advice stranger.
(1:17) You are welcome Kid with a weird name.
(1:19) My name is aWESOME
***
(Wednesday PM)
(12:15) Is the food good where you work?
(12:17) I mean, I guess we wouldn't be in business if it wasn't?
(12:18) Like, what types of food do you serve?
(12:19) We serve normal food? Like what else would we serve?
(12:20) We have a signature drink. It's very popular.
(12:21) Ooh. what's it called?
(12:22) Not gonna tell you!
(12:23) Why notttttt?????
(12:24) Because only 3 places actually sell it, and I have decided that being murdered at work is not the way I want to go.
(12:25) I don't even believe you actually work, tbh.
(12:26) Oh?
(12:27) Yeah, you text too much for someone who works.
(12:36) Oh, so now you're going to ignore me?
(12:49) Fine then.
***
(6:30) If I admit that you might actually work like you say you do, would you talk to me again?
(6:34) Maybe.
(6:36) You are the best employee of whatever place you work at, and I know it's real.
(6:37) You're damn right I'm the best.
(6:40) So what are you up to?
(6:41) Chilling at home.
(6:42) Nice.
(6:42) What about you?
(6:43) I'm hiding out in a storage room.
(6:44) Do I want to know why?
(6:45) Lol, the student's call it "The Room Of Requirement", there is a whole bunch of stuff in here. I'm looking for something that I lost.
(6:46) This room sounds cool.
(6:46) What did you lose?
(6:48) Nothing of importance.
(6:50) 0.o
(6:51) I have a question for you.
(6:51) You have to answer it first.
(6:52) You're not very trusting of people. I feel like if you went here, you and I would be in the same house.
(6:53) I will ask about that whole house thing later, but first: the answer to your question?
(6:54) I am a boy.
(6:58) You've gone silent? Did I need to ask the question? I thought it was pretty obvious.
(7:01) I am a boy.
(7:02) I also knew you were a boy you git.
(7:03) Well now I know you're a boy. So I figure that's progress on the getting to know you.
(7:04) You are now saved in my phone as "Boy".
(7:05) Why?
(7:06) Why not? It's not like I know you're name or anything.
(7:07) I mean, I don't know anything else about you, so I figure that's a defining trait worthy of contact info.
(7:08) Sometimes I don't know if you're daft or endearing.
(7:08) Definitely endearing.

(Thursday PM)
(3:04) We haven't talks in almost 12 hours.
(3:07) I am very upset right now.
(3:09) Because we haven't talked?
(3:09) Is it because you've already fallen in love with me?
(3:10) Don't flatter yourself. My mum kicked me off her bed, and then there was no more maltesers!
(3:10) THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DIE YOUNG DRACO! BECAUSE THEIR MUM KICKS THEM OFF THEIR BEDS AND DOESN'T BUY ENOUGH MALTESERS
(3:11) What are maltesers?
(3:11) I AM GOING TO PRETEND THAT YOU DID NOT ASK ME THAT QUESTION DRACO!
(3:11) I AM JUST GONNA ACT LIKE THAT DIDN'T EVEN HAPPEN. I AM DELETING THE MESSAGE RIGHT NOW!!!!
(3:12) Are they really that good?
(3:14) I never knew god existed, until I had Maltesers.
(3:20) I am gonna end up getting detention for texting in class. Gtg.
(3:20) You should get detention for not knowing what the hell maltesers are you prude.
***
(5:30) You're allowed in your parents room?
(5:31) Why wouldn't I be allowed in my mum's room?
(5:32) Idk, I've never been in my parents room.
(5:33) But... but what if they have a sex dungeon and you don't know?
(5:34) I DO NOT NEED THAT IMAGE IN MY HEAD!
(5:35) It os too late for you Draco.
(5:35) Stop!
(5:36) This would be the time to eat maltesers, but you can't.
(5:37) First you put odd images of my parents, and then you tease me with a solution that I can't have.
(5:38) The world is such a cruel place Draco.
(5:40) I still think it's unfair that you know my name and I don't know yours.
(5:42) Make one up then nerd.
(5:43) Fine. I shall!
(5:44) I'm sort of afraid to ask.
(5:45) I have decided!
(5:45) Your new nickname shall be:
(5:45) *drumroll*
(5:46) DRACO 2!!!!!!!!!!!
(5:47) That's the best you can do?
(5:48) Your sass reminds me of myself. So I have decided you are just a second version of me.
(5:49) I'm sassier than you.
(5:50) No, you have the 2 in your name Draco 2.
(5:51) Am I to call you Draco 1 from now on?
(5:52) SEE! You already want us to have cute pet nicknames for eachother!
(5:53) Sod off you depraved gnome
(5:54) THAT WAS NOT THE AGREED UP NICKNAMES SIR!
(5:55) I have work you wanker.

(7:00) Are you working?
(7:12) So yes then?
(7:23) I am bored Draco 2! And you are working! How am I to entertain myself?
(7:38) I worry about you sometimes Draco.
(7:39) I DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE YOU WERE DRACO 2!
(7:40) Oh do I answer to you now?
(7:41) Yes you do! Now tell me where you were?
(7:42) I was exploring your parents sex dungeon.
(7:43) THAT IS NOT OKAY DRACO 2!
(7:43) YOU STAY OUT OF MY PARENTS BEDROOM!
(7:44) So you admit that they have a sex dungeon 0.o?
(7:45) I refuse to answer this question.
(7:46) You're no fun Draco.
(7:47) I am loads of fun Draco 2.
(7:48) I have yet to see any of this fun.
(7:49) I'm the funnest person in the world.
(7:50) So what does the funnest person in the world do on a Friday night?
(7:51) ...
(7:52) Studying.
(7:53) TEACH ME YOUR WAYS OH FUN ONE!
(7:54) Wanker.
