Travis was an odd one to read. He wasn’t sure if he denied his offer because he was cautious of him or not. Handing him his phone number was not the act of someone cautious of another, and yet at the same time he wasn’t sure what to think. 

Travis seemed too friendly. Too open. How could he be so unguarded in a world that was as bleak as this? Or at least the future at times seemed so bleak. Still Kristian stared at the number and stared at Travis with a little fidget of his fingers.

“Well,” Kristian looked embarrassed by this honest confession, “I don’t have a phone.” Kristian smiled. “But I’ll give you my number when I do get one.”

He looks away. White hair falling into his eyes for a second as he brushes it away.

“Truth was….I was scared to go alone,” Kristian tells Travis, “But it is weird….isn’t it. To ask a total stranger to be friends with them and immediately ask them to go somewhere. How about next Friday? We can plan for next Friday. That seems more natural.”

Kristian turns back to Travis with a gentle smile.
