A: *on the phone* “Hey what's up! You never call so late at night.”
B: “Hey..yeah..so the power suddenly went out and its completely dark—”
A: “Don't worry. Turn on your phone's flashlight and try to find some candles. I'm heading over.”
A: *on a call* “OMG! THE LIGHTS SUDDENLY WENT OUT. IT'S SO DARK. WHAT DO I DO!?”
A: “BUT ITS ONLY MY APARTMENT! HOW CAN YOU ASK ME TO CALM DOWN!?”
B: *sighs* “Okay relax. Maybe its just a power trip due to the storm. First head to your electrical panel. It should probably be in the garage or by the entryway.”
A: “Okay, alright, I'm going there now.”
B: “Good. Now once you find it, try switching on all the MCBs one by one.”
A: *bumps into B* “Ohh sorry, its pitch black and I couldn't see you.”
A: *bumps into B cuz its dark and screams like a maniac*
B: *screams back in equal terror*
A: Oh Thank heavens! It's just you.
B: Fuck you! I got scared to death.
A: *bumps into B and snickers* “Sorry I didn't see you there.”
B: *frowns in distaste at the pun* “Shut up! And help me finding a flashlight!”
A: *starts cackling* “Right I'll look for them.”
A: *visibly sweating* “Ugh! The power has been out since last night and its so humid these days.”
B: *picks up a newspaper & starts waving it in front of A like an old, hand fan* “Better?”
A: *knocks on B's apartment door*
B: *opens door, looking tired and sweaty due to the humid weather*
A: “They say power won't be back until 7. Wanna grab ice-cream and go to the pool.”
B: *suddenly perks up* “YES!”
A: “I swear if I see you any longer on that couch I'll kick you out of the house!”
B: “Well what do you want me to do!? The power's out and my phone's dead.”
A: *locks apartment and goes to the building's rooftop cause the power's out. Spots B standing by the railing* “Oh. I didn't think anyone would be here.”
B: *giggles at their awkwardness* “It's fine. I would prefer some company right now.”
A: *smirks evilly* “So the power's gone. Wanna go around and scare some neighbors?”
B: *smirks back* “I thought you'd never ask.”
A: *lights a bunch of candles and settles down next to B*
B: *shares their blanket with A*
*both continue doing their own work in comfortable silence, waiting for the power outage to be fixed*
