tw: weed, sexual innuendo, alcohol

Okay. Xana and Samara have left, and Caesar’s coming down on his couch with a book when his phone buzzes. He glares at it from across the coffee table where it’s resting for a moment until it buzzes again and he puts his book down with a resigned sigh.

xan gave me ur number

are u caesar

Oh, this must be that Benji character with the stretched ears. Caesar presses his lips together, contemplating whether or not he should reply-- oh, but then Benji sends a selfie. His hair is tied back in a sort of bun and he’s grinning a wolfish grin, a snake coiled around his neck. Okay. He’s hot, Caesar will admit that. Not exactly his type, but he can very much see the appeal. Maybe he’s worth a reply.

yeah im caesar. xan and sam told me about you

Caesar’s typing something else when Benji sends a flood of emojis. Ah, so he’s that kind of texter. Amazing.

thank goddd you texted back you are so cute dude i cannot stand it, she showed me a pic and i was just (heart eyes)

no homo

Caesar laughs. No homo, says the man hitting on him. Cute.

pffthsjfgdhs thanks man, you seem pretty cool yourself

we NEED 2 hang out dude

we gotta

if ur the drinking type ik a bar that doesnt card or if ur the smoking type i know a place with good weed (my house it is my house)

Caesar laughs. This dude holds nothing back, huh?

yeah that sounds fun! im free friday after 8 or all day saturday. sundays my designated rest day though ;~;

thats chill! friday will work great i have a thing saturday evening anyway

wanna meet somewhere or should i just pick you up

also where should we hang

Caesar presses his lips together. Alcohol… Seems like something he wants to avoid right now, so the bar is out of the question-- and so’s dinner.

i can drive. your place?

gucci

if u drive and get stoned tho u might just have to spend the night (pensive emoji) and that wld be tragic

Caesar snorts. He sincerely doubts Benji would have a problem with him spending the night.

im fine with that if you are

hella!!!! i most definitely am dude

come over around 9 im at 15521 SW 123rd ave

sounds good c:

its a date ;3

Oh, shit. Is it? ...It most definitely is. Shit, shit, shitshitshitshit. Wait-- why is Caesar so stressed about this? All Benji is supposed to be is a rebound, right? That’s what Xana said, anyway, so why is Caesar freaking out so much?

...Must be the weed.
