late night call

Ari: You awake?

Mina: ...It's 11:47.

Ari: So that's a yes.

Mina: What do you want?

Ari: I miss you.

Mina: ...

Ari: Hello?

Mina: We literally spent the whole day together.

Ari: Exactly.

Mina: That's not how missing someone works.

Ari: Says who?

Mina: Common sense.

Ari: Mine stopped working after I met you.

Mina: You're unbelievable.

Ari: Yet you still answered my message in five seconds.

Mina: I was already holding my phone...

Ari: Mhmm.

Mina: Stop smiling.

Ari: I am smiling.

Mina: I knew it.

Ari: You know me so well already.

Mina: Unfortunately.

Ari: Liar.

Mina: ...Maybe.

Ari: Did you eat dinner?

Mina: Yes.

Ari: Properly?

Mina: Yes.

Ari: Vegetables?

Mina: ...

Ari: Mina.

Mina: Fine. Not many.

Ari: Tomorrow we're fixing that.

Mina: You're so bossy.

Ari: Only because I care.

Mina: ...

Ari: What?

Mina: Nothing.

Ari: Tell me.

Mina: It feels nice...

Ari: What does?

Mina: Having someone ask if I ate.

Ari: Then I'll ask every day.

Mina: Every day?

Ari: Every single day.

Mina: Can I ask you something?

Ari: Always.

Mina: Why me?

Ari: That's a big question.

Mina: You can answer tomorrow if you want.

Ari: No.

Ari: I want to answer now.

Mina: ...

Ari: Because you're kind.

Mina: Plenty of people are kind.

Ari: But they aren't you.

Mina: ...

Ari: Because you laugh with your eyes before your mouth.

Mina: ...

Ari: Because you pretend to be okay even when you're not.

Ari: Because you remember little things about people.

Ari: Because you always make sure everyone else is comfortable.

Ari: Because you're gentle.

Ari: Because being around you feels peaceful.

Mina: Ari...

Ari: Hmm?

Mina: You're making my heart nervous again.

Ari: Good.

Mina: That's mean.

Ari: It's cute.

Ari: My turn.

Mina: Okay.

Ari: Why do you always look for me the second you enter class?

Mina: I don't.

Ari: You do.

Mina: I don't.

Ari: You literally scan the room.

Mina: ...

Ari: Caught you.

Mina: I just... like knowing you're there.

Ari: ...

Mina: Ari?

Ari: Give me a second.

Mina: Why?

Ari: My heart just did a backflip.

Mina: You're dramatic.

Ari: You caused it.

Ari: One last question.

Mina: Hmm?

Ari: Can I keep calling you when I miss you?

Mina: Even if it's late?

Ari: Even if it's late.

Mina: Even if I don't know what to say?

Ari: We don't always have to talk.

Mina: Then what would we do?

Ari: I'd stay on the call.

Mina: In silence?

Ari: In comfortable silence.

Mina: ...

Ari: ...

Mina: You're still there?

Ari: Always.

Mina: ...

Ari: What are you smiling about?

Mina: Nothing.

Ari: Liar.

Mina: ...Goodnight, Ari.

Ari: Goodnight, my favorite person.

Mina: ...

Ari: Sleep well.

Mina: You too...

Mina: ...my favorite person.
