Dysophonia (3/3)
Of course Allister would be up- Allister, who has no bedtime and regularly checks who’s online (and sometimes knows without checking at all)
He gets a flurry of new messages, and decides (against his better judgement) to open the chat up again:
[(11:58 pm)
🌊: any1 awake
bsides al hes always here
🐲RH_HL: me
allister: :(
Melony: Allister you really should go to bed!! 🛏⏰💤 You need your rest so you can grow up big and strong!!

🌊: good 2 see u
🐲RH_HL: @championtime get in here mate I know you’re up
allister: <gif of a banette waving>

He watches it scroll for a while, wondering if he’s actually delirious.
[championtime: Whaaaaaaaat
🐲RH_HL: piers is here
championtime: Seriously?
Oh wow you’re right
Brb buying a lottery ticket
Melony: That is not nice Leon 😡
🌊: lol

🐲RH_HL: excuse me i am not the reason you’ve been putting off checking your email for three days
championtime: Why are you even awake right now Nessa
🌊: waiting 4 ur email
allister: mr Leon is very busy
🐲RH_HL: oh not you too
Leon you’ve corrupted the child
Melony: leave Allister alone 😡
How have you been Piers 😊😊]
He doesn’t know whether or not to respond. It’s really late, he ought to be trying to sleep. And... let’s be real, they probably don’t care. Still, they did ask...
He waits, one hand over the phone keyboard. When there’s no further messages:
[pierzzz: awful, if you really want to know
🌊: ?
championtime: ??/?
Melony: Oh no 😱😢
🐲RH_HL: oh hey no wait what’s up
Allister: :(

Melony: Piers you should not say things like that 😱 there are children present 😡
allister: it’s okay i know he’s joking
Melony: I meant Leon

pierzzz: THANK you melony
Melony: You can pay him a visit tomorrow morning. 😊
pierzzz: i have never been so betrayed in my life
🌊: lolololol]
Piers briefly considers throwing the phone against the wall.
[🐲RH_HL: in all seriousness though mate my schedule is clear tomorrow
pierzzz: don’t waste your day off on me
you’re not allowed
🐲RH_HL: says who?
pierzzz: says me

pierzzz:
championtime: I’m shocked you’re talking this much
Usually with me you’d just pretend to drop it and then show up anyways
🐲RH_HL: Leon shut up
championtime: :P
🌊: sounds like him
allister: one time he showed up at my gym in the middle of the night without even asking
🐲RH_HL: I’m ignoring all of you
especially you Allister I genuinely don’t know what you’re going on about and that’s not a can of wormadams I want to open right now
Melony: Oh, dear.
🌊: yikes wtf
🐲RH_HL: Piers

...
...Piers gives up.

🌊: hey yea that reminds me check ur email

🌊: you’ve got the spirit at least

🐲RH_HL: See u
pierzzz: yeah ok]
He turned his phone off, and stared at it for a few seconds after the screen went black.
If he didn’t know better, he’d say his headache went away a bit.
Hm.
