P.S. I miss you | Elu Online friends AU | Ch.4

Previous Chapters: 1, 2, 3

It’s been since a month now that Eliott started to talk to this interesting boy on instagram. They get along well and it’s just a safe place for him to go back to when things are getting too much in his life. But january is here and he’s about to start at his new school. What he doesn’t expect is to bump into the person he’s been texting with. Suddenly Eliott’s life going upside down as he both tries to approach and avoid Lucas at the same time.

Side note: I tried to stick to one header pic, but I am just a sucker for making these, so... yeah

Just friends

Eliott was obviously expecting people asking questions about him and Lucas, but it still got him off guard when Daphné basically dragged him into the common room. When he finally realized what is happening, he was standing in front of four girls, three of them having sparks in their eyes, while the fourth one, Imane actually kept shooting him questioning looks. The tall boy wanted the ground to swallow him. It took him almost a minute to notice that Lucas was in there also, sitting on a table, eyes fixed on him and a smug little smile appearing on his face. Eliott felt his heart skip a beat. Was it even legal for a closeted gay boy to be this fucking flirtatious?

“So, details!” Daphné claimed, eyes wide and full of excitement, she even leant forward like she wouldn’t hear Eliott’s words otherwise. The boy looked at his friend for help, because he suddenly got really anxious from all the attention directed towards him.

“There are no details, Daphy.” Lucas talked, finally taking pity on the older boy, who now sighed in relief, slowly backing off from the girls and towards him. “We were hanging out, end of story.” he shrugged like it was no big deal.

“Yeah, since when are you hanging out with strangers and post pictures of them on your insta?” Imane asked, raising her eyebrows and crossing her arms.

“I never said he’s a stranger.” Lucas replied, also raising his brows.

“How do you two know each other then?” Alexia asked now, dying to get some more information about them. Eliott decided to let the short boy handle the situation, so he just took his place next to him, leaning his hips against the table that he was sitting on.

“Through insta.” he shrugged. “It’s a long story and none of your business anyways.” he continued and scooted just a tiny bit closer to Eliott so his thighs were just next to his left hand. He wasn’t playing fair for sure.

“So you two are dating?” Daphné finally asked the question that was hanging in the air since Eliott arrived. He didn’t say a word, keeping him to his own decision that he’s going to let Lucas handle this, since these girls were his friends.

“We are just friends.” the short boy answered way too quickly and Eliott could feel his knees nudging his side softly. He looked at him, but he faced forward, staring at the girls in front of them, but a small smile was tugging on his lips.

“That’s true.” Eliott added now, turning his head to the girls too. “And we were just drinking and smoking yesterday, nothing special.” he said, trying to sound as nonchalant as he just could, but it wasn’t easy with the boy next to him slightly moving closer to him.

“Okay, cool.” Daphné breathed out, seemingly believing to the boys. “It would be a shame for us girls if the two hottest guy in the school would date each other.” she said smirking to which Imane shot her a disapproving look, while Emma and Alexia laughed.

“Are you dumb or what?” the muslim girl asked, still not believing the stupidity of her friend.

“What?” Daphné had sheer confusion on her face which now made the boys laugh too.

“You can’t say things like that.” Alexia answered between two giggles. “It’s not appropriate.”

“Why? I was being honest.” she mumbled, pouting at her friends sadly.

“It’s okay, Daphy. We get what you were trying to say.” Lucas said softly and hopped off the table. “I should get going now. You coming?” he looked at Eliott who was still leaning on the table.

“Yeah, sure.” he pushed himself forward, shooting a soft smile at the four girls. “See you later.” he said and followed the short one out of the common room.

When they were far enough, they started laughing. Both of them couldn’t hold it back anymore, because that was just the funniest thing ever. It took them minutes to stop, wiping off tears that spilled out from the heavy laughs and then they looked at each other. Eliott leaned to the lockers behind him, while Lucas was standing in front of him with a big smile on his face.

“That was fun.”

“More like awkward.” the tall boy sighed, but couldn’t stop smiling. “You have some really nosy friends.”

“They are girls, Eliott, of course they are nosy.” he smirked and stepped closer to him. Eliott felt butterflies in his stomach. “And even if they are my friends, they have no right to ask about us.”

“So there is us now?” he raised an eyebrow, trying to sound playful, but the look on the other’s face made his heart beat faster.

“There is always us, Eliott.” he almost whispered those words, taking another step forward, being dangerously close to him. He could feel his heartbeat thumping in his ears, making it impossible for him to hear anything, but it was fine, because Lucas was there in front of him. Time seemed to slow down as the short boy placed his hands on the lockers, caging Eliott and raised up on his tiptoes, leaning forward. The tall boy closed his eyes, parting his lips, being ready to be kissed, when the door next to them shot open with a loud bang, startling them out of their little bubble. Lucas smirked at him and just like nothing happened, he ran his fingers over Eliott’s arm while pulling back and walked away. “See you later.” he said over his shoulder and disappeared in the crowd of students.

It was lunch time and Eliott still couldn’t forget about that almost kiss this morning with Lucas. He tried so hard to forget about it, but his damn mind kept going back, replaying the scene in an endless loop. Just like always, he shared a table with Alex and his friends, but this time he didn’t even try to join their conversation. Not like he didn’t wanted to, but he knew that he would not be able to focus on anything these people say. Also he needed to force himself not to look up and search for a certain pair of blue eyes in the cafeteria.

He got startled when his phone started buzzing in his pocket. Luckily the others were in a deep conversation about something, probably Alex’s party this friday, because he could hear the words ‘hookup’ and ‘getting wasted’. He pulled the device out of his pocket and checked his messages. The amount of self control he had almost wasn’t enough to hold himself back from snapping his head up and look over to Lucas table. This boy is going to be the death of him.

lucallemant Not even a glance at me? I feel offended, sir

srodulv Can’t you just eat in peace?

lucallemant I’m not so hungry Well, not for food at least

Eliott couldn’t believe the audacity of this kid. And also couldn’t believe his own awkwardness. When did he become the shy, submissive one? He let out a sigh, trying to calm himself down and looked up, his eyes immediately finding those blue pools in the crowd. The self-satisfied smirk on Lucas’ face woke up the alpha inside the tall boy, washing away all the shyness and embarrassment he felt just a few seconds ago.

srodulv Well, I can’t let my sweet hedgehog starve, right?

lucallemant Are you going to the party on friday?

srodulv Depends

lucallemant On what?

Eliott can see the longing in the boy’s eyes as they lock eyes after each text. It’s intense and full of passion. A few weeks ago he was just a depressed pile on his own bed, holding onto his phone like his life depended on it and now he was here with the boy that helped him through his rough phase, basically having sex through eyecontact. A playful smirk creeped up on his face which got answered by wiggling eyebrows from the other boy.

srodulv Depends on how much you want me to go

When he read the message, Lucas head snapped up, a grumpy expression taking over his handsome face, making him look like an actual hedgehog. The tall boy winked at him, just for fun and he rolled his eyes in response. He looked down at his phone now, ready to type the answer, when Yann snatched the device from him with a disapproving look on his face, probably scolding his friend now for not joining their conversation. Eliott had to suppress a laugh and as he brought his gaze back to the table, he noticed that Alex is looking at him with a wide smirk on his face.

“So it is Lucas.” he says victoriously, like he just won something.

“Maybe.” he shrugs, but he can’t take off the happy smile that’s plastered to his face thanks to the short boy.

“He’s a nice kid.” Alex said and munched on a tomato slice. “And he is my friend, so don’t fuck this up, okay?” he added on a more serious tone and continued eating his salad.

“Don’t worry, I could never hurt him.” he said honestly, letting himself a glance towards the younger boy. He was trying to get his phone back from his best friend, while the others laughed at them. It was endearing to watch, especially after Lucas told him how lonely he feels at school. Only if he knew how many people cared for him.

Friday came fairly quickly. He didn’t talk much to Lucas since wednesday, not in person at least. They just couldn’t stop texting each other through the days, it was something that become part of their daily routine. Now he was sitting at the bus stop, waiting while smoking a cigarette. He promised Sofiane that he will join him in the Youth Center to hang out after school. His friend is going to leave to Morocco on saturday noon, so he used all the opportunities to hang out with him. He invited him to Alex’s party too, but he said that he will be busy finishing the packing for the trip, while Idriss happily agreed to go. At least he will have some emotional support, because he was sure he’s going to need it remembering that he will probably have to handle drunk Lucas in real life this time.

When his bus arrived, he put out the remains of his cigarette, throwing it into the trash and getting on. He walked to one of the back doors, grabbing the handlebar, letting other people to take the seats. He preferred to stand anyways, staring out the window as they passed through the busy streets of Paris. His pocket was buzzing once, twice, but he didn’t have time to check, needing to get off the vehicle. The Youth Center was not far from the stop and Sofiane was waiting for him outside. It was still cold, so they didn’t waste much time, getting inside immediately.

Eliott spent most of his time watching his friend dance to different types of music, showing off his amazing skills. He clapped every time a song came to an end, which Sofiane thanked with a bright smile. It was nice to spend some alone time with his friend and he definitely gonna miss him once he leaves, especially now that he is constantly on an emotional rollercoaster thanks to Lucas. Of course he still had Idriss, but he wasn’t really good at giving advice, especially when it came to dating.

When Sofiane was done with the practice, he took a shower. Eliott waited for him patiently, posting the picture he took on instagram. Since he revealed his face to Lucas, he decided to share his nice moments there, not to show it to people, but to let himself go back maybe years later and remember what he was doing on this day. After he finished with the uploading, he noticed that he had a few unread messages, so he opened his DMs and wasn’t even surprised to see Lucas’ username on the top.

lucallemant What should I wear tonight? Okay, you are ignoring me, that’s fine Instagram user srodulv, go fuck yourself

There was a ten minute difference between the first two messages, while the last one was sent just afew minutes ago, two hours after the others. Eliott couldn’t hold back a snort. His little hedgehog was so damn impatient, but that was one thing he liked in him.

srodulv You sure you want me to go fuck myself and not someone else?

He let out a soft laugh when the respond came in less than a minute later. His sweet boy was probably checking his phone instantly.

lucallemant Don’t you dare flirting with me now

srodulv Wear something tight You look good in blue

lucallemant I’m going to wear black Ready for your funeral

srodulv Ouch That hurt

lucallemant You deserved it

srodulv I am spending time with my friend, just so you know He’s leaving to Morocco tomorrow for a whole month

lucallemant Oh...

srodulv See you on the party tonight, you grumpy hedgehog ❤️

lucallemant Yeah, see you ❤️

“Are you talking to your boy?” Sofiane snapped him out of staring at his phone. He looked up to see his friend all dressed to his street clothes, bag in his hand, jacket on his shoulder, ready to leave.

“Yeah.” he answered and got up from the bench where he was sitting, both of them put on their jackets now, walking outside.

“How are things going with him?” his friend asked curiously.

“Well, he’s going to give me a heart attack sooner or later.” Eliott sighed and smiled at his friend, telling him about their time spent at his apartment, then the almost kiss at school the next morning. Sofiane listened carefully, sometimes nodding or flashing a little smirk, but he didn’t ask questions until he was done talking.

“Wow, that kid has no chill.” he laughed. “And you say he’s a closeted gay guy?” he asked which Eliott answered with a nod. “He’s either very bold or totally gone for you.” he added smirking, making his friend blush slightly.

“You think so?” Eliott asked, not being sure about Lucas’ intentions still. He wasn’t really experienced with boys and maybe he just saw the opportunity to have his first attempts with someone like Eliott. Someone that would do anything to kiss those cherry lips.

“I mean... I know nothing about being gay or anything, but believe me, love makes you do stupid things.” he explained and opened the door to their favorite coffee place now, letting his friend to walk in first. Eliott smiled softly as he entered the building, sitting down to their usual table.

They ordered coffee and cakes while talking about random things. Eliott tried to avoid thinking about Lucas or the upcoming party. Instead he kept asking his friend about the trip to Morocco, about his parents and what he’s going to do once he arrives. He was demanding pictures of course, since Eliott was an artist, he loved exotic countries and Sofiane had quite a talent in making beautiful pictures of landscapes.

Eliott just rolled his eyes when he saw the post Sofiane tagged him in. They were standing in the bus stop now, waiting for their ride home. The brunette still had time until the party even though they spent more than an hour at the coffee shop. It was just hard to get separated from Sofiane, since he was such a sunshne and always made him feel warm inside. But both of them had things to do and therefore separating was inevitable.

“You seriously had to post that picture?” he asked, glancing at his friend while he replied to Idriss’ idiot comment.

“Don’t you like it?” he raised his eyebrows. “I can finally share pictures of you on social media, because you are not hiding from that cute boy of yours. I wanted to use the opportunity to show off my best friend.” he said with a wide smile and bumped his shoulder to Eliott’s.

“Shut up.” said the other laughing, but he was actually flattered by the kind words.

Eliott’s bus arrived first and he got an annoyed growling from the driver, because he was hugging his friend for too long and the bus was still waiting. Sofiane gently shoved him towards the vehicle, so he got on, waving as they left the stop. It was horrible to think about how he’s not gonna be able to just call him or appear at his doorstep randomly when he’s not feeling well. Yes, he had Idriss and even Alex, but they weren’t the same. He knew Sofiane since a long time now, he was there when he discovered his mental illness, when he broke up with Lucille and fell deep into depression. He was helping him to get through the rough days while not forcing him to talk or do something he didn’t wanted to. It was hard to admit, but he was scared without Sofiane.

He arrived to Alex’s house a bit later than Idriss, so he just walked in, hugged their host when he greeted him in the hallway and decided to head towards the kitchen. He needed to drink something to down his fears. He was being like a pathetic child who’s crying after his mom in kindergarten. Sofiane won’t be away for long and they will keep in touch anyways.

When he steps into the kitchen, he is struck by the beauty of the boy called Lucas Lallemant. He is there with his friends, sharing what probably is a joint judging by its smell. He is wearing tight, black pants and a button up jean shirt, looking like an angel with his disheveled hair. Eliott blinks once, twice and he feels like the air got punched out of his lungs when the boy’s deep blue eyes find his, staring at him while he holds the joint between his lips lazily. He let out a thick cloud of smoke as he passed the blunt to his friends, not taking his eyes off Eliott. Thankfully the other three was too busy glancing at the dancing crowd in the living room, talking about hot girls.

Lucas now decided to hop up on the kitchen counter with a simple and smooth movement. He kept looking at Eliott, raising his eyebrows, challenging the tall boy to approach him and let’s be honest, he had no intentions to stay away, since he looked so charming just dangling his legs like a kid as he was sitting on the counter. His smile grew bigger when Eliott walked into the kitchen, nodding to the trio that was still rambling about girls.

“Hey.” he greeted them, which draw all of their attention to the tall boy. The blonde one, Arthur seemed to be a bit shocked and maybe even stunned by the presence of the older boy, while Yann flashed him a smile. Basile was just utterly confused and maybe a bit upset that someone interrupted their chick-talk.

“Hey, dude.” Yann said, reaching out his hand, which Eliott took gladly, shaking it. “Eliott, right?”

“Yeah, I guess you’ve heard of me.” he smiled and felt proud that Lucas’ best friend knew who he was, so this meant that he talked to his gang about him.

“Wait, are you the guy from Lucas’ insta?” Basile asked with sudden interest and his eyes widened. “Wow, you are fucking handsome.” he gasped, mouth agape and he let out an unpleasant whine when Arthur hit his side with his elbow. Eliott laughed.

“Baz, how about you shut up?” came a soft voice from behind the tall boy, it was a bit deep from all the smoking and Eliott just loved that. He turned around, flashing a charming smile at the short boy, who was still sitting on the counter, balancing his body on his hands behind him.

“Oh, I didn’t see you there.” the tall boy said with a playful smirk, enjoying the sparkles that appeared in Lucas’ ocean blue irises.

“Oh yeah?” he chimed, holding out his hands now, confusing Eliott for a second before he spoke again. “Give me that, Arthur.” he asked gently and the blonde one reached out his hand, passing the joint to the brunette now, who held it between his fingers carefully. “You know how to smoke, Eliott?” he asked with a cheeky smile.

“Maybe.” Eliott answered, gladly participating in this little flirtatious game the other was playing. He could hear the gasp of Lucas’ friends behind him, but he couldn’t care less. When the boy waved his hand to him, he walked closer, stopping just a step away from him, his knees were slightly brushing Eliott’s sides.

“You wanna share this with me?” the short one asked playing with the joint in his hands. Eliott smiled, placing his hands on the counter, dangerously close to the boy’s thighs and leant forward. Their faces were in the same height like this, which was pretty intriguing.

“Sure.” he muttered, his ear slowly closed out the thumping of the music and the shocked noises that came from behind them.

No words needed Lucas took a long drag from the blunt, throwing the remains into the sink. He kept the smoke in as he leant forward, Eliott mirroring his movements until their foreheads touched. He felt a soft, warm hand grabbing the back of his head, deep blue eyes staring at him in anticipation. His heart was threatening to break out of his chest, splashing onto the other boy’s shirt in excitement. He gently parted his lips, which was more than enough for the short boy to make a move, blowing out the smoke for him to inhale. He closed his eyes, feeling his head going dizzy and not because of the weed. He let it to fill his mouth, hit him a little before he let it out too. He was glad that Lucas didn’t pull back, keeping their foreheads touching, still looking into his eyes with clear desire. As he swallowed, finally getting the bravery to move forward and kiss the boy, two girls crashed into the kitchen, right next to the boys, startling them out of their little bubble. Eliott started to think that the universe just won’t let them fucking kiss even once.

He felt his stomach churn when the gagging noises reached his ears, which came from the girl that had her head fully in the sink, while the other was helding her hair and scolding her for drinking so much. Eliott recognized the one that wasn’t puking, it was Chloé, the girl that interrupted their first interraction at the bus stop just a week ago. Before he could react, he felt a warm body slightly brushing to his as Lucas slipped off the counter, sliding his hands over Eliott’s stomach, just an inch away from his crotch as he walked to the living room, followed by his friends. The tall boy was standing there with a dumbfounded expression on his face, spinning around on his heels, searching the crowd for a crazy crown of hair and a pair of blue eyes, but he couldn’t find him. Meanwhile the unpleasant noises coming from the suffering girl seemed to never stop, just like the slight screams from the supporting friend.

After taking a few deep breaths, he left the kitchen, heading towards the exit. He felt like he have to leave before anything triggers him. The music was already too loud in his ears, his heartbeat wasn’t slowing down and his head was still spinning like a merry-go-round on steroids. The fresh air hit him like a truck, but it was much better than the smell of sweat, alcohol and smoke that was filling his lungs inside. He felt his knees going weak as he thought back about the moment he shared with Lucas in the kitchen.

He couldn’t remember how he got home, all of his memories was blurry, like he was drunk, but he had never been more sober. He hated his mental state and that he needed to leave instead of hunting down that beautiful boy to finally get the kiss he was deprived of twice so far. He knew it was because he kept forgetting to take his meds, that’s why things were affecting him so greatly, why his mood was swinging so often without any reason actually.

An hour passed by and he was laying on the couch like the disaster he was, still fighting down his anxiety. Sure, Eliott, that is what Lucas needs, a guy that freaks out after shotgunning and leaving the scene right away. Dream boyfriend. He sighed at his own thoughts and tried to push the negativity into the back of his head, when his phone was dinging, alerting him of a new message. He checked it and his heart melted when he saw the username.

lucallemant I can’t find you anywhere Is everything okay? Are you still at the party?

srodulv No, I had to come home I wasn’t feeling good

lucallemant Did I do something bad?

srodulv No, you did everything good

lucallemant You should have heard the boys, they were going crazy on me

srodulv That was definitely one outstanding coming out for sure

lucallemant Seems like I can’t control myself around you

srodulv Not like I have anything against that

lucallemant Too bad we got interrupted

srodulv Maybe next time we shouldn’t do things like that in public

lucallemant You know, I’m getting tired of waiting for you to ask me out on a date So I’ll do myself

Eliott could feel a bright smile making its appearance on his face as he read the latest messages.

srodulv Sounds good to me

lucallemant Sunday, 11h?

srodulv Perfect ❤️

lucallemant You jerk ❤️

Next time comes the first date of the boys! I hope all of you are prepared for it and I hope you liked this chapter. I tried to fill it as much shameless flirting as I just could! These boys have no chill whatsoever. Please make sure to leave a comment and feel free to ask me anything about the story here on tumblr. Bisou

System76 News: Platinum Luxury Bonus April Edition

Subscribe to our monthly newsletter to get the latest monthly scoops straight to your inbox!

As the 4th month of the year comes to a close, we celebrate the 4th release of Pop!_OS, which had updates to GNOME, Ubuntu, and the Linux kernel, as well as new additions such as Dark Mode, Slim Mode, and Refresh Installs. Continue reading to get the scoop on what’s next for Pop!_OS and more!

Firmware

Coreboot is one step closer

We’ve expanded our Coreboot testing to the Intel model of Thelio. Galago Pro models and the Darter Pro have also received bug fixes for suspend, and improvements have been made for Thunderbolt. There are still some bugs buzzing around Coreboot, but initial tests look promising.

Pop!_OS

Updates Galore with 19.04

In case you missed it, Pop!_OS 19.04 landed on the 18th! Here are a few features and upgrades released in 19.04:

The Slim Mode option maximizes your screen real estate by reducing the height of the header on application windows.

Dark Mode gives your applications a relaxing ambience for nighttime viewing. Both Dark Mode and Slim Mode can be activated in the Appearance settings menu.

Refresh Install allows you to reinstall Pop!_OS without losing Users and any data in your Home directories. This feature is available from the recovery partition on new installations (not upgrades) of both 19.04 and 18.04. For more information on how to do this, see our article on using the recovery partition.

Pop!_OS icons: The icons for Pop!_OS applications, files, and folders have been redesigned to complement GNOME’s icons under their new design guidelines. If you’re grieving the loss of the previous look, don’t fret; Pop! Planet offers the older icon theme as an option.

GNOME has been updated to version 3.32

See our blog post for thorough details on all the new updates and instructions on how to upgrade. Note that 19.04 will continue to see more features to help improve the desktop experience, so stay tuned in social media for those updates.

Software Packages

Discord and Alacritty were packaged for inclusion into our repos, though they will not appear in the Pop!_Shop until the appstream metadata is also added to our repositories.

Lutris, Gamehub, and VS Code have all received version updates.

Alacritty is a terminal emulator that uses the GPU to render the terminal and its contents. If you wish to set it as your default terminal application, you can do so by running the following command:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

Thank You Pop!_Volunteers

@stratact submitted a patch to refactor some of the code in Popsicle

@stratact also wrote a library and tool to aid with creating DEP11 appstream metadata, which is now a Pop! project.

@kylecorry31 has migrated development of the Do Not Disturb extension to our repos, which have also been updated. Repo
