“That’s cold.” The small smile on Lydia’s lips made it impossible to take her words really serious. Tongue clicking inside her mouth, Lydia couldn’t avoid showing an expression that basically screamed how much of a hypocrite she was. Maybe she had done it one time or two. Didn’t make it less cold, in her opinion. “Okay, maybe a phone call is more acceptable, but then you have to hear their voice. I say that if you are going to call them you might as well do it in person.” What was next? Breaking up over video chat? Offering Elton a chip from the bag she was eating her snack, she kept pondering on it. “Relationships are hard, man.”
a casual shrug followed his friend’s words, tongue inside his mouth pressing against his lips and causing them to expand as he considered. he took into consideration the guilt painting lydia’s face and he offered a pointed look in her direction, lips spreading into a wide grin. “ cold ? i don’t think it’s cold if it’s only been happening for a month or two. i mean, how deeply could you really feel for someone after such a short period of time ? “ bringing his hand to his face, elton swiped his thumb across his bottom lip in one of his nervous ticks while fondly shaking his head. “ maybe that’s why i don’t do them. “
Even if this was a Beta party, it wouldn’t be one without the Kappa’s help, so she didn’t mind taking credit even if she did no actual work herself. “Remember to thank the Kappa sisters for choosing the party’s theme. It’s summer in winter, you’re welcome.”

eyess widening in the slightest, the male chanced a glance at the blonde with a shrug of his shoulders following. “ what ? “ he asked in a monotonous tone with a stupid grin plastered over his face. “ but s’not technically winter yet. “
“what the hell and fuck?” he seems taken aback, super fucking offended, with his mouth open and brows furrowed. he raises one hand. “i’m sorry, are you doubting me?” a gasp. “at my own birthday party?” he whines like a little bitch, sinking entirely into the character for split of a second, expression devastated. but then he just laughs, and it’s so, so lighthearted. eyes rest on the other, the boy’s words bringing a bright smile to his face. “oh. no, that’s perfect. that’s so good. aw,” although he has stopped swinging their arms like a cheesy, sappy fuck, elias doesn’t let go of the other’s hand. the touch brings him a sense of comfort. drunk elias really, really likes to be touched. “you can, like, kiss me on the forehead after they’ve broken my kneecaps! how romantic!” another laugh. then, he falls silent, takes a second to kinda just look at the boy, study his expression. “are you having fun, babes?” tone sincere. a small, but warm smile.
if eyebrows could fly off of someone’s face, elton’s would have in that moment from how high they were raised at the other’s overly dramatic theatrics. it wasn’t long until he was involuntarily punching out a boisterous laugh, parting his lips and bringing his free hand to lay flat against his stomach while his shoulders hunched in the slightest. “ oh my god, “ he mumbled more so to himself, that disbelief and now amusement still evident over his face. “ did anyone ever tell you that you’re a lot and you should probably just be acting rather than partying at some sorority in the middle of nowhere ? can’t wait to see you starring in some lifetime movie. “ the male teased, his fingers naturally intertwining with the elias’ as their hands were still linked together at their sides. “ sure, just let me know where to kiss and i’m there, “ he mused, though his cheeks were feeling hotter by the second. “ -- - not as much fun as you. “
he clings onto the other for dear life, a tad too tipsy, legs shaking — maybe showing up in heels wasn’t the best of ideas? sometimes you just gotta learn the hard way. one hand reaches for the counter; additional support? yes, please. besides, hanging on someone for a longer while might eventually get quite bothersome. he eventually finds balance against the kitchen furniture. one hand brushes the hair out of his face. eyes widen at the boy’s words. a short laugh escapes. it’s only a matter of seconds until he’s playing along. “oh! oh, yeah, totally. the best! i can— i can tackle four jock dudes with one arm! and all while doing a keg stand. blindfolded.” he brags, way too proud, his left hand raised, and then laughs again. “okay, i’m totally convinced.” it sounds far too genuine. he reaches for the boy’s hand, laces their fingers together. soft eyes rest on the other. “will you cheer me on?” he muses, gently swinging their arms. “be ready to jump in when things get, like, real ugly?”
the more weight he felt pressing against him caused an evident side-eye, a quick glance over the other beside him. if elton was good at anything, it was observing people, and elias in heels and maybe one drink too many really was having a hard time standing or just very clingy. either way, the brunet had half a mind to pick him up and hold him instead, or at least make sure he got back to his room okay --- - he didn’t, though, in favor of taking a cautious step back away from the boy. “ yeah, those arms ? “ head nodded in the direction of the other, brows raising high on his forehead in disbelief. as the other spoke, however, and interlaced their fingers, elton’s hand went willingly and an obvious flush crept its way from his neck to his pale cheeks. “ hm yeah, i’ll be your personal cheerleader, but i mean.. “ pause. “ i’d say i’m more of a lover, not a fighter. “
“Breaking up over text message: Yes or no?” Despite the fact that it seemed like Lydia was talking about a situation she was herself, the truth was that the girl was going to write a report about modern relationships and could use some hard data to support her claims. That, and she found asking random questions to people completely entertaining. “Things to consider: you’ve been dating for only a month or two. Neither of you knows the parents of the other. Discuss.”

bringing a hand to his face in an animated gesture of pondering, elton hummed aloud while contemplating her question. that was something that could definitely be debatable, but given the time they lived in, it was all too common of an occurrence. however, elton couldn’t relate given he’s never technically been in a real relationship before, even at twenty-two years of age. “ i’m going to say yes. i’d like to say i think a phone call would be more respectable if you really don’t want to face-to-face it, but yeah --- - it’s acceptable. “
“ugh!” an overdramatic whine as he practically hangs on the other’s shoulder. “would you believe they’re doing another chugging contest–– upside down?” a roll of the eyes follows. then, he grimaces. “and i just watched this guy puke.” he doesn’t hide the disgust, not for a second. “like, like properly retch and projectile his jock breakfast of jock burgers all over the floor.” the whining intensifies, arms wrapping around the other. from where he has buried his head in the person’s shoulder, elias manages to catch a glimpse of his targets, the people he’s been actively shading the whole night. another sound of disapproval escapes. “and now they’re wrestling.” a heavy sigh. “oh my god, i so did not sign up for this.” if one can’t already tell, this must be his least favorite party of the year. “you need to get me out of here.” he practically begs. “please.”
befuddlement was written over his face as the other beside him really fucking complained about the party they were at. his gaze, colored full of blues and storms on the ocean, snapped from where elias was speaking toward the direction of the gang before pulling his shoulders forward into a casual shrug. “ i don’t know, “ he mumbled to himself with a huff of breathy laughter involuntarily parting his lips. “ honestly i think you should just go show them how it’s done. haven’t you told me many times you’re a great wrestler ? i’ll get a good look if you go. “ elton cocked his head to the side, tiers becoming visible as his smile widened and eyes scrunched, crinkling in either corner into shapes of crescent moons.
“so i know i should be studying for my upcoming exams and all that, but man disney+ has taken over my life. i’ve watched seven dcom’s, a few old tv shows, and the last movie i watched was noelle. after watching that movie i am now tempted to decorate my room or you know the zeta house in all christmas decorations.” she laughed softly and thought a moment as she stretched from where she was sitting. | @caldoniastarters
“ a dcom ? “ elton pondered aloud, a look of amusement flashing across his face and causing a twitch at either corner of his lips. “ i haven’t really seen a disney show since that one where the guy is a pop star and he hits the girl with a door and then they go on an adventure together. cute stuff. remember that one ? “ there was a tilt of his head as he inquired, that amusement still evident amongst his features.

siblings: n/a

> biography.
usually the ‘baby’ of the family is the one that is spoiled and the favorite, but elton grew up the polar opposite. he was born into a wealthy family, but no matter what, he always came in second compared to his older sibling. this made his parents put him on the back-burner of sorts, so elton grew up very lonely. he was ignored so often by his mother, a very high strung and powerful woman, that he started to believe he wasn’t worth much. this caused him to become very anxious, very introverted, and extremely shy in nature all the while pitying himself.
at a young age, elton was diagnosed with ADHD so he has a very hard time concentrating on many things and is unable to sit still for a long period of time. this made school very hard for the boy and he soon was taking adderall. he is extremely dependent on medication for this and wouldn’t know how to act if he wasn’t able to take it.
elton never excelled in much in school unless it was with numbers, always preferring a fantasy life over his own, so getting into any college was an achievement for him, let alone a really good one. with his father’s passing a few years ago, elton seems super unaffected by much and still is riding the wave of the money his family has. and because elton grew up with no affection from his family, he has a very hard time understanding the way the world works, or who to trust, or who to give love, or even how to receive it, but he really is a decent human with great potential, if only he could get into the right mindset.
>personality.
although shy, elton is extremely funny and outgoing around people he loves and trusts.
isn’t MEAN, but definitely wouldn’t go out of his way to do anything nice for anyone.
animated. very zany. loud and brash at times.
sleeps ALL THE TIME
VERY TOUCHY and affectionate to those he loves
probably has fallen in love x3000.
does lack common sense at times.
leaves clean laundry on his bedroom floor for a week
prob doesn’t drink enough water
constantly wears silk shirts and doc martens
will always be found with taco bell bags in his car.
he spent most of his young age and teen years in his bedroom, cooped up, playing video games, watching sports , or killing his Sims.
very MOODY
because of this, elton has never actually been in a relationship, nor close to it.
his priorities in life relied on marijuana, pills, comedies, video games, and mountain dew.
was probably bullied very bad when he was young
he’s extremely gullible, forgiving, understanding.. because of how sheltered he grew up.
>wanted connections.
buddies. definitely need these !! some ‘bros’ that enjoy smoking weed, playing video games, chilling, ettc.
a crush. because elton never really dated anyone, he prob gets super shy and awkward around this person allll the time. he could have liked them for a long time but never made a move. he’s probably a babbling mess whenever they’re around.
bully. of course elton would need someone that enjoys getting under his skin, whether it’s for fun or they seriously like bullying, someone has to be mean to him bc i need him to freak out at some point and stand up for himself. u know, character development !!
maybe a first something ?? because even elton has experimented at some point. it was probably super awkward.
bad influence. someone that elton thinks is cool, badass, and always enjoys doing hooligan type shit around.
