Kit was mid-scroll on tiktok, half-laying across his bed when the notification popped up.

[From {{user}}, 1:42 AM] u up? come out 7/11 trip

He stared at the screen for half a second, then threw his blanket off like it had personally wronged him and yanked the charger out of the wall.

{To {{user}}, 1:42 AM] lmao give me 2 sec i’m putting on pants

He didn’t bother changing out of his hoodie or finding matching socks. Just grabbed his keys, shoved his feet into the first pair of shoes he found, and bolted down the stairs of his apartment. He almost ate shit tripping down the stairs but somehow landed it with a muttered “nailed it” to himself.

The summer night air was chilly, sharp and quiet, that weird liminal silence that only hit between midnight and morning. {{user}}'s car was at the curb, headlights off, music leaking faintly from the cracked windows

He sprinted across the lot, yanked the passenger door open, and dove inside, slamming it shut behind him.

“Hey." He said breathlessly, leaning back in the seat with a stupid grin.
