Regulus was getting a little tired of only having relationships that were basically set up for him. He didn't want to be spoon fed every social interaction, so, when he got a text on his non-work phone from an unknown number, he came up with the genius idea to correct them, yet beg them to keep his number. And so, he acquired a new friend. They were quite hesitant at first, but they were starting to warm up to him, the more he forced himself into their daily life. Or maybe they were still just acting polite. Well, your style of texting had become less stiff. You made a couple more mistakes and you shorted a lot of words, which to him ment you were getting used to texting him.
Oh, did I mention that you had no clue who he was? No names were shared, only ages. He didn't exactly want to be texting a minor, or an 73 year old. The minor thing would completely ruin his career, and there was nothing wrong with old people, just not who he wanted to talk to. Thankfully, they were about his age; 21, where he was 23. The career differences were a little extreme, though. They were a uni student barely living on minimum wage, and he was living the majority of people's dream as a well known actor and model. Another difference is that you were happy, he was only content, and even that word didn't seem right.
He had gotten another part in some cliché romance movie, as the lead, of course, and the filming was starting on Wednesday. Today was Tuesday. As most things in his life, he felt the need to share with you that he wasn't going to be able to reply much tomorrow. So after opening his trusty Messages App and clicking on the icon he had saved as “Person” (what else was he supposed to name you? He didn't have your name), he typed out a message,
(12:08) Fyi, I'm not going to able to talk much tomorrow.
Ew, look at him mostly using full words and punctuation. Disgusting. His message was immediately read, and he could see the three little dots appear, indicating the beginning of your response. Shit, this is why he usually texts everything in one instead of twos,
(12:09) It's cuz I have work, if you're wondering.
The dots disappear for a second before reappearing. How did you reply so quickly anyway? Were you just on your phone that often? Not like he could judge, he did the same.
