Asking a Friend // Courtney & Dex

[ampedupdex]

phasesofcourtney:

Courtney smiled at Dex, trying not to see like anything was up. She wanted to seem like the topic came up in normal conversation. She didn’t want it to be too obvious that she had been planing this all week. To start things off, she started a casual conversation. She asked him about his day, how classes and homework were going. She listened closely as she talked, made sure she had open and receptive body language. She wanted him to know she was interested and listening. Patience was key

But Courtney never could wait for anything. 

During a very brief silence between Dex’s talking, Courtney couldn’t hold it in any longer. The anticipation was killing her. 

“Dex, I have something to ask you!” Courtney stood up, hands firmly on the table as she spoke. All of the confidence she had in the mirror this morning suddenly dissipated and there were only nerves. In a flash, the whole world moved and Courtney was falling. Her hands went straight through the table followed by the rest of her body. As her faced phased through, she gasped and was able to materialize before she fell through the floor completely. Unfortunately, that meant she fell face first into the tile of the cafeteria. The stinging pain was quickly taken over by embarrassment. She tried to keep herself calm before she started to cry and lost even more control. 

See now Dex- pretty simple dude, at least he liked to think he was. He works best in simply situations. Sitting alone while eating lunch: simple. Sitting with friends while offering one word responses: simple. Sitting one on one with a girl you cant even look in the eye as she asks you how your day was: harder than general relativity. Rocket science would surely be a simpler task. 

With thoughts racing through Dex’s head, his mouth (and nerves) hardly seemed to be keeping up. “Right um, you know how it goes, classes and stuff. Um, gym was lame- I mean chill, sure,” he shrugged, “ Classes are super, so super.” Though he said it jokingly he retained his sarcastic monotone voice. “Homework is a thing and it’s there boy I tell ya” His eyes would dart between Courtney, whose face seemed as brillint a the sun as Dex could hardly kepe a gaze on her,  and the rest of the room, just to see if anyone was heading there way. At this point Dex wasn’t even touching his food, this encounter required all his attention. 

As Dex’s talking slowly came to a halt, he decided to focus on Courtney, if someone had to talk he would definitely rather it be her. He took a deep breath, swallowed before speaking again, “Let’s talk abo-” Suddenly, she was gone, at least her face was as it went through the table. Dex immediately moved to catch her, the rest of her body phasing through his hands (no shit sherlock) “Oh- oh shit.” 

Diving under the table, Dex placed a hand on her shoulder to keep her steady, knowing full wel it wouldn’t really prevent anymore phasing. “Hey, you okay?” Dex shook his head at his stupid question, the girl just face planted into the floor, dumbass, “Probably not, right.” mumbling under his breath he moved to help her back up.

Procrastination 101 with Dillon and Dex

[dillonduplicates]

Dillon was so focused on watching Henry and Cybil’s every move that when Dex began to speak, he didn’t really hear him. When he mentioned the girls. that’s when he started to pay attention.  “What?” he asked, looking over around to see if he saw anything “You mean girls as in Court and Jaina?” He asked, still looking. Just then, Jaina’s head poked out and he smiled. He slapped Dex’s arm lightly. “See bro, I’m not the only one with this idea!” 

Dillon pulled out his phone and opened a chat with Jaina. He shot her a text that said “Tell me if you can see anything we cant, like Henry’s face :P”. He felt safe in assuming that Courtney did the same thing to Jaina that he did to Dex; dragged them out of bed to check up on their friends. It was only logical. But now that they had an extra pair of eyes, this would probably be a lot easier and they wouldn’t miss as much.

“Yeah, Court and Jaina.” Dex rolled his eyes, surprised by the fact that he was- well, surprised. He leaned on a shelf, turning his head so he could see through the creases of the books. At least his height helped him see over other students head. 

“”I don’t see Henry but the girls are over-” someone tapped him on his shoulders and he turned abruptly “What?”  someone was motioning towards the shelf behind him-oh right, some people were here to actually study. “Oh, sorry.” He moved out of their way, now much less motivated. 

“I don’t see where they went at all.” Dex was partially paranoid about being caught and whatever confrontation may come with it. “Hey, lets just, meet up-” maybe one of the girls would have some sense. “And you know, decide on...” before Dex even finished his sentenced Dillon had already spotted the girl, making his way over there. With a sigh Dex followed.

Asking a Friend // Courtney & Dex

It was mid day and Courtney stood in front of the bathroom mirror, turning side to side, making sure the outfit she had picked out was good. After a big smile, she frowned, grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it off. She threw it onto the pile of rejected outfits that she had already gone through. None of them were good enough! They were too frilly or too flashy! She needed something cute but casual, but not too comfortable looking that she looked like she was going to lounge about all day. It needed to be perfect. 

For a moment, she thought about rummaging through Jaina’s top, try and find a nerdy shirt to wear, but she decided against it. If this was going to work, she needed to be herself. She had seen all the movies and knew bad things happened when it all starts out with a lie. And besides. He knew her. He knew she wasn’t into all of that stuff, so it wouldn’t work out.

Finally, she settled on a light pink top and nice, black skiny jeans. She looked nice enough for the occasion, but casual enough that it didn’t seem too try hard. And the top had small, cute skulls on them which she figured would work in her favor. 

It was a weekend so the cafeteria wasn’t too busy, so she spotted Dillon and Dex almost instant. Of course, Dillon had Dex trying to throw Marshmallows into his mouth and he missed almost every one. Boys. Courtney sighed and got behind Dex so Dillon could see. She motioned for him to leave and it took a few head jerks, but finally the light bulb went off. He told Dex, rather loudly, he had to use the bathroom and he left. 

After a few moments of breathing exercises and quiet words of encouragement to herself, she walked up to Dex and sat across from him. “Hi Dex!” She smiled wide, like normal. Everything was normal. Nothing out of the ordinary here!   

[ampedupdex]

Breakfast after noon was one of Dex’s favorite things, it was stress free, easy time with his bro Dillon, and his only concern was landing a marshmallow in. With each one poised on his thumb he would flick it upwards, towards , but they both kept missing every time. Dillon said something about doing a better job of throwing. “Do a better job of catching?” he flicked another marshmallow, and- although it nearly made it, there was still no score.

Out of nowhere, Dillon, looking like he was having a spazz attack with his head, decided to again be the loudest person in the room. Big surprise, His brows knit together and he blocked one of his ears, “Yeah, okay, whatever.” Maybe while Dillon was gone Dex would actually eat instead of playing with his food. Although he knew that wouldn’t happen he still fancied the thought.

A voice startled him as he was taking a bite, food splattering across his face. He wiped his hand across his face, tuning to face who he knew would be Courtney. He had the urge to smile, beam as brightly as he could,  as he usually did when he was around her-- but he wouldn’t let tat happen. Suppress it, don’t look like a doofus, just don’t- don’t even wince.  “Heeeeeeeeey....C-court”Okay well, you still looked and sounded like a doofus, so good job I guess. “Good morn- afternoon? Yeah, that.” You are so good at this. “What’s up?”

Dillon took a peek at Cybil and didn’t see any indication that she saw him. “Nah, you straight.” He said, scoping out a better place to hide. With Dex in tow, Dillon hopped from bookshelf  to bookshelf, finding the perfect stop where they were far enough a way to not be noticed, but close enough to hear. 

Unfortunately, Dex took a break from looking at the worse time. Just as he leaned against the shelf, Henry went backwards in his chair. Dillon made a crackling noise as he tired to hold in his laugh. He sat down next to Dex and held it in, breathing harshly through his nose. He felt bad for laughing but hey, if he fell like that, he would expect people to find it funny too. He motioned for Dex to look because if he looked he’d start laughing harder. 

[ampedupdex]

Dex almost groaned at missing Henry’s fall, but seeing him get back up was almost just as funny. ”Ohhhh my god.” He covered his mouth to keep from laughing Thank God that’s not me out there, he almost felt bad for Henry. Not enough to stop spying on him or help him, but the sentiment was there. 

Dex glanced aroundthe library, glancing over Jaina and Courtney, over to the front des- shit wait a minute. His eyes darted back,  - He saw Jaina- (before noon? must have lost a bet) and Courtney and his jaw dropped, immediately having an inner freak out. It’s fine- they didn’t see him and Dillon it was fine everything was fine, it’s not like they looked like they were doing anything bad. 

 “Dill. Dillon” either Dex’s voice had left him or Dillon was too busy having a grand ol time. Glancing back at the girls he saw Courtney take a fall, (probably only half as good as the one he missed) He half stood up, about to make his way over to help before he realized what he was doing and just as Courtney stood back up- Dex regretted getting out of bed. They made direct eye contact before Courtney turned away- can’t pretend he didn’t see her now could he.

“Uhh..” He raised his hand, tapping Dillon’s shoulder who seemed intent on not breaking his gaze on Henry. “I think- maybe we should... find another aisle? Before we get spotted- which we kind of already did? By like, the girls or something.” He scratched the back of his head. “Since they’re right over there. I don’t know, just a thought.”

Once Dex spotted the lovely couple, Dillon ran over so fast and quiet that he almost tripped on nothing. Luckily for him, he managed to catch himself. The last thing he wanted was bumping into Dex and lighting him up. Regardless of being potentially painful, it would give away their position. 

He knelt down and wiggled under Dex to get a good look at them. “So far.” He repeated, already knowing Henry too well. They were a little far away from the bookcase they were hiding behind. He squinted his eyes and tried to focus on them, seeing if he could hear them. “You hear anything?” he asked Dex. He wanted to make sure Mr. No-Filter didn’t say anything he’d regret. 

[ampedupdex]

Although the library was quiet enough, they weren’t close enough to hear anything abode mumbling. Dex tskd before leaning forward and shaking his head “We gotta get closer,” he tried squinting his eyes, which wouldn’t affect how he saw through his classes. As soon as he saw Cybil’s eye meet hem he quickly whipped back behind the book shelf.

“Did she- did she see us?” he whispered frantically, “Let’s get in through somewhere else. With Dillon leading them to the next position, they showed up just a bit closer, enough to at least make it what they were saying. Dex, taking a break from craning his neck to see them, leaned his back against the bookshelf, “Anything good- bad, whatever, yet?” He heard a crashing noise before quickly turning back, just in time to see Henry get up from what must have been a hilarious fall.

Procrastination 101 with Dillon and Dex

Should he have been doing his Project? Should he and Jaina be in the library right now looking up whoever they had? Yeah, but what was the fun in that? Dillon much rather do something more productive with his time. He knew Henry liked Cybil, the kitchen staff knew Henry liked Cybil (he know, he’s talked to them about it a few times). All he wanted to see was how his roommate was getting along with his partner. 

Of course he couldn’t do it alone, and he wasn’t that great at keep stable clones, so he grabbed Dex away from whatever he was doing and dragged him to the Library with him to snoop on their dear friend. “Its for a good cause bro, i promise”, he had said as he dragged him along 

[ampedupdex]

Dex was only planning on doing what he usually does, listening to deafening music in his headphones, avoiding social interactions, and maybe work on a project or two. He was more then happy to be invited, well dragged, by Dillon to go spy (he called it “making sure they’re getting along”) on Henry.

“Yeah, no, I’m up for it, just stop, dragging me, maybe?” Dillon didn’t seem to hear any of Dex’s comments. Dex and Dillon weren’t exactly the least obvious people, but when it came to a great cause such as this one, they couldn’t help but try. Upon getting to the library they split up for a bit trying to find them, since it was a pretty decent sized library. Dex checked before turning the corner, signaling Dillon that he found them before taking a step back to avoid being spotted. “See? Doing great. So far.”
