"Did I mention that their claim on it was accidental?" Said Rykah. "It's a whole mess of stuff that happened."
cliche O/O soulmate rp? (closed)
(Coolio, I have no clue what my schedule will be like, so I'll update as I go)
(great! thanks for keeping me updated)
Glenn laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. "Still… It's interesting. You have all this stuff that happened, all these stories. It seems really… nice, I guess. Um… anyway, I think it's your turn to ask a question."
(Yep…)
Rykah hummed, not necessarily in agreement, before nodding. "Alright… uhm… any siblings?"
"Yeah, I have 2! My sister Katerina and my brother. We're all really proud of Kat- she's super smart. She just got accepted to Harvard and she's only 17!" Glenn gushed, reaching for his phone and showing Rykah a picture of her holding her acceptance letter. She was smiling widely in the picture, wavy silver hair pulled back into a ponytail.
(grand parents came over, I'm going to be off for a while)
Rykah smiled when he realized the other was happy, "That's awesome" he said softly.
(Kk)
(I'm back, sorry I'm so late)
Glenn nodded excitedly, a wide smile splitting his face. "Yeah! I think I cried more than she did, to be honest. She's been studying forever but it all paid off. Full ride scholarship and everything!" He floated on air for a few minutes, basking in pride at his sister before he realized it was his turn to ask. "Oh shit, it's my turn! Um… what's your favorite memory?"
Rykah laughed a little at his adorable ranting, but hummed thoughtfully at the question. There were so many bad memories, how was he supposed to pick a good one? Then it dawned on him, "The day I managed to master my abilities.." he said softly, And come home… he thought, but he wasn't ready to go into that yet.
"You've already mastered yours?" Glenn asked, surprise painting his tone. Rykah looked so… young and his magic seemed so big and boundless. He quickly covered up his shock, trying to be respectful. "I just mean, you seem like your my age, and I'm… years from figuring out how to hone my abilities. But obviously, your magic is different from mine, so it would be wrong of me to assume that they'd work the same."
"Oh trust me I've still got a long way to go before I can actually master master it, but I managed to gain enough control to do something for myself, that I'd been trying to for awhile." He said, his voice going quite near the end.
Glenn noticed the emptiness in Rykah's tone and gently bumped their shoulders together. "That's where it all starts, right? You figure out how to use it, and then you figure out a little more, and then you're on the road to something big. And now you're walking down that road."
"Yeah," said Rykah, forcing back bad memories. "Uhm…. so…" he tried to think of another question.
"So…?" Glenn echoed, shooting him a small smile. "Is there anything else you wanna know about me? Any burning questions you just have to have answered?"
"I can't think of anything…" said Rykah with a shrug.
Glenn smiled. "Then I'm glad you learned everything you want to know about me! Um… I have one last question, but if you don't feel like answering I can just… forget about it."
"Go ahead" said Rykah softly, watching him carefully.
"Um… I was wondering if I could see your apartment. Just… uh… I just want us to be on the same level, y'know? And I get it if that's a big thing for you because privacy can be a huge thing for me and I don't wanna step all over your boundaries so," rambling. God, Glenn really needed to figure out how to stop rambling. "Um, yeah." he finished lamely.
Rykah shrugged, "I don't see a problem with that idea, we could head over there for lunch then…" he said.
Glenn's thoughts bumped to a halt. Apparently, his ceaseless rambling hadn't scared Rykah away. Well, that was… good? Maybe? All he knew was that he felt instantly relieved. "Great! Do you have enough food, or do we need to drop by the grocery store?"
"We should be okay" said Rykah reassuringly, watching him.
"Okay," Glenn agreed, brushing some hair off his forehead and catching Rykah looking at him. He cocked his head in amused confusion. "Why're you looking at me like that?"
"Just a habit.." he murmured shyly, refocusing his gaze elsewhere.
"No… um, I like it. It's kinda nice," Glenn said, a light blush spreading across his cheeks.
Rykah blushed too, checking the time as he walked. "Uhm, we should start heading for my place now so we can have lunch on time…" he said softly.
Glenn snapped himself out of his lovey-dovey daze, letting Rykah walk in front of him because he had no idea where he lived. "Lead the way!"
Rykah nodded, pulling ahead to lead the way back.
It wasn't long until they reached Rykah's apartment building. The first thing Glenn noticed was that it was very tall, and the second was that it was only a few blocks away from his own. "Um… which apartment is yours?"
"Near the top" said Rykah, heading inside and towards the elevator
"How's the view from your apartment? Mine's really awful but I've always kinda wanted one that has a pretty view of the sunset," Glenn said, trying to fill the silence as the floor number ticked higher and higher.
