Chapter Text
'This is it.' The blue-haired boy thinks as he slaps the last box of non-essential stuff shut, ready to be sent away to Todd and Neil's soon to come house.
Said guy sighs lazily, letting himself fall on his ass and looking around his room in a faux air of aloofness.
'This is really it.' He's going to college soon. To be honest, he's surprised he's managed that far in life. He still has no real idea as to what he's gonna pick for his major. It's not like he can really ask anybody to choose for him anyway and besides, the gang and him are supposed to go have a look at the Open House Day at the end of the week together. He'll figure out then.
A lazy knock pulls him out of his internal monologue.
"Yo, Dude." He hears from the other side.
Sal raises back to his feet, promptly heading to his room's entrance. "What's up Larry?" He barely opens the door to his half-brother before his prosthetic nearly gets pushed back into his own face as the tall brunette happily shoves a handful of papers pieces in front of his eyes.
"Bro, you gotta check this out!" The exitation is almost palpable in his voice. Sally chuckles silently before grabbing the offensive object handed to him and checks it out. Tickets. Before he can get any word out, the taller man speaks up again,this time explaining.
"I got these a few hours ago from Ash. Sorry man, she won't be able to make it in time to join us." Larry allows a small moment to let those words sink in before continuing. "... So she managed to get us those as an apology. Apprently, there's gonna be a show at the Open House Day. Cool-looking "band" on the College's web page."
The pigtailed man doesn't fight the frown hidden under his mask. The news leaves a bad taste at the back of his throat as he looks back down at the tickets. 'I guess it can't be helped...' He shrugs silently.
"Are they good, anything special about them?"
The taller man smiles back at him, finding his giddiness once more at his proposition being accepted.
"That's the thing, I didn't really find anything." Sal tilts his head to show his confusion and Larry lifts a hand. "Hear me out. They're not really a band. Properly speaking, they're just a bunch of students teaming up to show off the music department's skills. What's so special is that the tickets are limited dude. Apparently their singer's quite the school prodigy, an original and his music is right up our alley, but the best things is that the show's only allowed to a limited group of folks because the school wouldn't normally allow this kinda music to be broadcasted on their ground."
The smaller man nods slowly. "I can see why this got you so invested."
"Aw, c'mon Sally Face! Don't pretend like it didn't peak your interest!" The brunette huffs as he shove his half-sibling playfully. "So, do you wanna go?"
Even though the original gang will be missing half their members and even though Ashley had to call it off at the last minute, Sal is still happy from the gift. No need to waste time being bitter because of petty little things like that.
"Sure, sounds awesome."
