Avery woke up smiling at the texts corpse sent her last night. He called me pretty she thought. He called me pretty. Wow.

Avery did the only thing she knew to do

"RAEEE" Avery squealed into the phone "HE CALLED ME PRETTY. AHHHH" no reply
"Rae? You there?" She said hoping it wasn't a bad time "Huh" Rae said groggily. Oh thank god Avery thought

"who called you pretty?"
"CORPSE DID"
"Wait hold on. You face revealed to him?!? Honey that is a huge deal!"
"It's fine it's fine, you're missing the point! He called me pretty, does he do this a lot? Is this a common thing he says or-" Avery paused hoping he didn't say it often
"Avery" Rae said in a teasing voice
"I think someone has a crush on corpse"
Silence
"What?"
"You like corpse"
"Oh my god"

Avery hung up the phone. She had fell for corpse. Someone she barely knew. How could this happen? Avery started pacing in her room wondering what to do, she could ignore him and run away from her problems, she could push her feelings deep down to not interfere with her friendship or she could do a healthy coping mechanism and tell him.

Like usual she chose to push her emotions deep down and pretend nothing was wrong.

How to reply to the message though? You know what? Avery thought. I'll just take a shower, get dressed for work and reply later on

Avery took a shower and put on a simple outfit for work

And she put on her docs to go with it and some fox eyeliner and off she went to work "forgetting" to reply to corpse's text

~ Meanwhile ~

Corpse woke up and immediately checked his phone. Shit he thought. She's not replied. Have I went to far? Fuck fuck fuck. What if she hates me now? What if she never wants to see me again? That was one of the best days he'd had in a while and he really didn't wanna fuck it up.

She mentioned something about work right? She's at work, he thought.
Would it be creepy to visit her? What if she had got kidnapped?

Overcome with anxiety corpse put on black jeans, a black hoodie pulling the hood up and a black mask. He grabbed his keys and went off to the coffee shop where she worked.

~ Avery's POV ~

30 minutes in and she was already sick of working. Why didn't she reply to corpse. Stupid stupid she thought. She couldn't get her phone because her boss didn't allow it. She checked the clock on the wall only 2 hours and 28 minutes till she finished her shift. Damn.

The bell for the door opening chimed and Avery looked up.

It was corpse.

Why was he there? He hates being in public.

He looks terrified

I need to go and make sure he's okay.
