Connor nodded absently as she told him how she’d informed everyone about the party and that she was expecting a full house. “[color=#ed0000]Good, good. Everyone needs to be there for my big present. I want them all to see just how great it is. Trust me-[/color]” He cut off as Eva strolled up, giving her one of his charming smiles as she gave Natalya her gifts. “[color=#ed0000]Just the cutie I was wondering about![/color]” He said happily, grinning at her from his seat at the table. He was glad to see that Natalya loved the gifts from Eva and he grinned to himself. “[color=#ed0000]Man, we are [i]crushing[/i] this birthday. Surprise Dom, surprise camera, scrapbook, kung fu movies, and some delicious looking coffee blend. Pat yourselves on the back, guys, we’re the best friends ever.[/color]” He smiled, then there was a visible cringe when she announced that she and Dom were going shopping.

Looking at Dom with a playful glint in his eyes, Connor put on his best possible ‘I’m sorry for your loss’ face’ before he spoke to his friend. “[color=#ed0000]Man, I’m so sorry for you. Don’t worry, bro. I’ll tell them your story if you don’t survive. I know what it’s like, shopping with a girl. Look, there are a couple of stores with built in man caves. I hope you get lucky.[/color]” He laughed, as Natalya left, he turned his attention back to Eva, with a mocking pouty look on his face. “[color=#ed0000]You’re gonna stay and get coffee with me, right? Don’t leave me like the rest of them, I don’t think I can take another hit of abandonment![/color]” He stated sadly, hopping to his feet and pulling a chair out for Eva, “[color=#ed0000]I’ll even buy your coffee. At least hang with me till Benji gets back with my gum,[/color]” he pleaded, pulling out the empty pack in his pocket and waving it around.

It was a rare moment whenever Connor was completely out of gum, and it sincerely ticked the man off. Chewing gum was one of the only things that kept his otherwise explosive temper relatively in check. Without the sweet juicy flavor of his favorite gum, Connor was liable to yell and cuss at video games even more. Sighing as he tossed the pack into a nearby trashcan, he regarded Eva again. “[color=#ed0000]Or we can go up to my apartment and watch anime.[/color]” Mentioning the apartment had Connor pursing his lips briefly. “[color=#ed0000]I’m gonna text Feliks.[/color]”

With that, the phone was out again, in his hands as he pecked out a quick text message to his roommate.
