Don't hate, please?
...I don't even know. Reposting-ish.
They're really dorks.
It's a fact, actually. Fletch, on his first day at the university, had tripped and accidentally crushed the projector, getting a concussion. The best part? He tripped on nothing. Literally. Afterwards, he bought the amused professor a new projector. Luke, on the other hand, is really awkward. Endearingly so. At least, he hopes so. Two weeks in the term, and he had puked nervously on the girl he was trying to confess to. Fortunately, the girl wasn't offended, just laughed.
So it's not that big of a stretch to let the two biggest dorks on campus to become friends. They always meet up in one of those retro cafes, one with peeling paint on the walls and a real jukebox and barely any customers except for that one lady who always chats to the chef wearing bright red all over-her nails, her dress, her heels, her clutch. The two, with Leo by their side, have named her Red Lady. It's not the most original, but it'll do.
At 12:30 every day in the morning, they sneak away and have a coffee. If they have two, Luke will get hyper and bounce around like crazy, while Fletch will be disoriented and most likely pass out. The waitress will roll her eyes, a fond smile on her face, and call Roxy. Or Finn. Or even their professor, Chiron.
Then they'll wake up and giggle at each other like schoolgirls. Luke will search for his shoes until Fletch gets the willpower to throw them at his face, and in return, Luke will steal his toast and complain about how it's toasted on the way to school. They'll scoot in, barely on time, and Chiron will make an exasperated noise that's really like a horse whinnying, and they'll break into laughter and get assigned detention, which is somehow still a thing. (Luke still thinks Chiron is trolling, but he hasn't gotten evidence that detention isn't real yet. They tried to make off with his laptop, but ended up locked inside of his office for three hours.)
By lunchtime, the two dorks will push and shove each other playfully and try out new Thai or Mongolian or Botswanan (That isn't a word, Fletch argues, but he's ignored) takeout places, or that one Spanish place with the flirty girl with the nametag saying Xanthe and get food poisoning. Then, they'll wrap the other up like a burrito and stay like that until they get too hungry and try to make food, only to set off the smoke alarm and make their whole dorm panic.
If they miraculously don't get sick, they'll go and do stupid things together, like that one time they awarded pins to their classmates, saying, "Most Unoriginal" or "Best Burping on Command Skills" or even "Most Likely to be a Clone of Dean Hades". Then they'll get yelled and stay properly chatised until three minutes later when something else catches their attention and they jump out, together, out the first-floor window into a rosebush.
Luke will get scratched and Fletch will somehow be spared, and together, they'll sleep in Walmart in the isles until a disgruntled Quintyn and her brother wake them up, with the flower-girl Eliza that they know but don't know, and Luke will hide behind Fletch because Kaiser is just. Kaiser. And then Fletch will awkwardly edge away and they'll run out the shop, flinging a five-dollar bill at the pretty cashier who works there and is named Shiloh, holding Skittles and screaming, "Keep the change!"
Then they'll have Skittles for dinner in the parking lot, and they'll awkwardly share until their teeth are dyed rainbow and Fletch is regretting his decision to bring his violin, even though he usually brings it everywhere. A car will try to park in the spot they're sitting in, and Fletch will flip them off half-heartedly and Luke will gasp dramatically, sugar-high. Then, they'll stumble to their diner at 12:32, and they'll order two coffees each while sharing one side of the booth. Luke will start whining about how he's "so bored", and telling Fletch to do something, "because Fletch isn't boring. He's awesome and cool and he can do weird stuff like pluck strings on wood and make muse-y. My sic."
Then Fletch will flush pink and take the dusty stage and play melodies until 1:00 that keep the diner humming with music long after until other businesses complain and they're regretfully kicked out, their coffee cold now. So, naturally, they climb up the fire escape onto the roof and try not to die, though it's very hard, and play with a cat that Fletch names Fi$h. They almost let the cat drink their coffee before they realize that's a stupid idea.
Then Luke will ask Fletch if he likes him, very seriously and hiccuping, and Fletch will pause and say yes. Luke will say that he thought so before turning away, and Fletch will wait ten seconds before he asks whether Luke likes him.
The diner isn't filled with the note-filled napkins and little shoves and nudges anymore. Fletch only eats M&Ms, and Luke avoids anything Botswanan or Mongolian or Thai. Shiloh won't have to restock the Skittles anymore, and Quintyn and Eliza share a confused look when the bedroom section is untouched in Walmart. Xanthe will see the two apart and cluck her tongue quietly, and Chiron will stop assigning detention. Luke will show up without his shoes and Fletch won't eat his toast. The Red Lady will wait for two boys to giggle behind her back, and it won't come.
Until it does.
