After class.
Outside the art building, maya bounces up beside Noah.

We are getting drinks.

All of us. No arguments.
Noah(ML)

I have work.
Maya
Maya
Your "work" sketching broody rooftops.
Maya

They'll still be broody tomorrow.
Maya

Let's go.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
*appears from nowhere, grinning*
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
I second this.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
And I'm buying your first drink.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Why?
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Because I'm generous.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
And because you drew me hotter than I actually am.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Which I respect.
Eli
Eli
*he strolls up, shoving his hands in his jacket pockets*
Eli
Eli
If drinks are involved, I'm in.
Eli
Eli
Also, I want to watch Noah try to have fun.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
I do have fun.
Maya
Maya
Yeah, when no one looking.
At the bar - booth in the corner. Drinks arrive.
Maya
Maya
Okay. Ground rules.
Maya
Maya
No art talks. We're here to have fun.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Define "fun".
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Because I have ideas.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Don't.
Eli
Eli
Oh, let him. This is gonna be good.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Truth or dare.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Loser of each round takes a shot.
Maya
Maya
Ooh, dangerous.
Maya
Maya
I'm in.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
I'm not.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You're playing.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
I already ordered your drink.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
You're manipulative.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You like it.
A few rounds later - Noah's cheeks are pink from two shots.
Maya
Maya
Noah, truth:
Maya
Maya
What's your type?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Pass.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
That's not how the game works.
Eli
Eli
C'mon man. Spill.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
...
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Tall. Annoying. Thinks they're charming.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
😏
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
That's oddly specific.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Don't flatter yourself.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Too late.
Later - Julian gets dare.
Eli
Eli
I dare you to...
Eli
Eli
Whisper something that'll make Noah blush.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Easy.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
*he leans in close to Noah's ear, voice low*
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
If weren't in public, I'd ask you to draw me in...fewer clothes. And I'd make sure you got every detail right.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
*he chokes on his drink*
Maya
Maya
What did you say?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Nothing. He said nothing.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Oh, I definitely said something.
After a few more drinks, they stepped outside. It's cool, quiet. Julian falls into step beside Noah.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
So...
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
You had fun.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Don't push it.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
But you laughed. Twice.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
And you didn't stab me with your pencil once today.
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
Small victories.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
I'm taking them.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
Same time next week?
Noah(ML)
Noah(ML)
We'll see.
Julian(ML)
Julian(ML)
That's basically a yes.😏
