there were already a lot of people there when he & viv make their way into the party , & its hot & stuffy . a frown forms on his lips as he squeezes through a group of partiers , trying to find a spot where he could see better . he checks over his shoulder to make sure viv is still behind him , finally stopping when he finds an open space in the room . he puts an arm around viv when she gets next to him , blue eyes scanning the area .
he never would have thought they would be here right now , standing in the middle of some random frat party , trying to track anyone down , but especially not ori . this didn’t feel right . but truly , there’s a lot of things that didn’t make sense since he & viv came back to their apartment after class & found all signs of ori gone . it didn’t make any sense when they both bombarded him with calls & texts trying to figure out what was going on ( benji wondered for a moment if they had been robbed or evicted & only ori got hit ) only to see the notifications that their messages could not be sent .
they both spotted him plenty of times after that on campus , only for him to ignore them when one called out , or make a quick escape if one of them tried to follow . but it made even less sense when viv came home one day to share that she heard ori had gone to join a fraternity .
so here they are now , middle of a frat party , ready to find & confront him . “ do you even see him right now ? ” benji asks after a few moments , his voice a little louder to make sure she could hear him over the music . “ maybe we should split up and look , ask around . ” / @demensheid
