me and austin have been doing a thing recently where if we find edits of one of us we send them to each other, in a way to mock.
once i sent him one where he was shirtless and saying something, he got all flustered.
i literally laugh out loud at the edit i just watched of him so i press the share button and i send it.

"austin guess what." i look to my left where austin is sitting on the break room couch but he doesn't make a noise, or even moves.
his eyes are glued to his phone and i don't want to invade his privacy so i touch his shoulder, shaking it slightly.
"austin you good?" i ask and he seems to snap out of whatever trance he was just in.
"yeah um sorry." he mumbles and shuts off his phone.
he doesn't move, he just looks towards the ground.
i turn my entire body so i'm sitting criss-cross next to him and i slide my hand down from his shoulder to the top of his hand.
"are you okay?" i ask, concern laced in my voice.
he looks up and i can see his eyes have a hint of sadness in them.
"yeah um, my ex, she just got married."
oh? is he not over her yet or something?

i guess he sees the confusion on my face because he continues.
"with the guy she cheated on me with." he finishes and i can physically feel my face drop.
he breaks the eye contact and looks down again.
i slide my hand into his and i give it a reassuring squeeze, which causes him to glance up for a split second.
i cant fully understand what he's going through but i know he's hurting right now.
when he doesn't respond i unclasp our hands and i pull him in for a hug.
when my arms are around his neck and his face is in my shoulder, i feel his body tense up before relaxing into my touch.
his arms wrap around my body and he places both hands on my lower back which sends shivers all throughout my body that i hope he doesn't notice.
"that fucking sucks." i whisper.
i pull away and smile, "we should totally get drunk." i say and he quirks a small, but still there, smile.
"cmon." i say, "we're taking the rest of the day off."
"i don't know if baz will like that."
"we're sick." i say and i fake cough.
his smile turns into a more noticeable one, which notifies me that he's already feeling a little better.
"i don't think baz has alcohol here so we're going home." i say and proceed to drag austin out of the building by his hand.
when i begin driving the car, it isn't awkward, but i don't really know what to say.
so i do what's best and i flick on the radio, which so happens to be playing Bohemian Rhapsody, so i crank the volume up and i start singing the words.
i feel his gaze burning in the side of my head so i turn my face slightly and i glance at him, and he's staring with a slight smile on his face.

"what?" i ask.
"i love this song." he says which makes me smile.
"so sing with me then." i yell over the music.
i begin to fake play the guitar during the solo at a red light and i hear austin next to me laugh.
we end up driving the whole way home blasting older music with the windows down.
austin looked like he was having fun so i'm glad i cheered him up.
but now it's time to drink.
*insert smirk emoji*
i run into the house way before he does and i run to the kitchen where we keep the vodka.
i'm going straight in.
i pull out the shot glasses and by the time austin finally walks in i'm just about finished filling up his glass.
he sees my drink of choice and raises his brows, giving me a little smirk.
i throw my hands up, "hey don't judge." i say and laugh.
i place my hair behind my shoulder before picking up my glass and throwing the burning liquid down my throat.
my whole mouth stings for a second and a wave of nausea hits me but after i'm pretty fine.
i just have a sour taste left in my mouth.
i pick up austin's glass and i hand it to him with a suggesting look.
he sighs and takes it, before throwing the liquid down his throat as well.
i smile and i fill my glass up again, placing the bottle of vodka down so he can fill his glass up if he wants too.
i manage to take two more shots but i already feel the warm buzz of the alcohol in my system.
energy seeps out of me but i try my best to refrain from running around the whole house.
austin has taken three more shots, what a trooper.
i giggle, trooper.
i glance at austin who's head is resting right smack against the counter.
oh damn.
he's a quiet drunk.
"so austin what would you like to do on this fine evening?" i ask in a sing-songy voice.
he picks his head up and looks at me but before he can say anything i jump up from the school with a giddy face.
"let's go to the beach." i say and he grins, nodding his head.
i grab his hand and i drag him out to the back porch, then to the steps that lead all the way down to the beach.
"what about our bathing suits?" he asks and i smile.
it's a private beach i rarely see anyone here.
"it doesn't matter, i'm swimming in my clothes." i shrug my shoulders and he does the same, but then i take off for the beach with him right behind me.
laughing the whole way i run into the water and instead of being a nice person and swimming with me he quite literally tackles me in the middle of the ocean.
not really the middle but you know what i mean.
a giggle slips out and is muffled when i get dragged under the water.
i swim to the top and austin is there smiling at me.
i stomp over to him and i frown, "i almost drowned you know?" i kind of yell and his smile only grows.
when his mouth opens to say something he gets knocked over by a wave and i somehow manage to stay put but i laugh when he gets dragged under.
a few seconds later his head pops out from the water and i smile, "we're good now."

Fates Parallel (A Xianxia/Wuxia Inspired Cultivation Story)
Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cover art drawn by the incredibly talented Tsuu (TsurotArtistry).
