I then took off my jacket and took my shirt off and put it back on the right way. I then slipped my jacket back on. I then looked over at Taj. He was wearing a pair of ripped high waisted black jeggings with a chain that went down the side of his thigh, his shirt was a baggy shirt that had street graffiti all over it, it had the handmade but cool vibe. He was also wearing a few necklaces which were a plain black choker and a couple of gem necklaces that were each different lengths. I can’t believe I didn’t notice but both of his ears were stretched to 2 gage and had black plugs.
“You stretched your ears?”
“Oh, yeah I stretched them a few years ago but it’s hard to notice since I usually wear skin toned coloured plugs so I don’t get dress coded. I usually don’t change them unless I go into town to hang out with people. I don’t really go out that much.”
“Oh that explains a lot!”
“Anyways enough staring would ya! Let’s go!”
“R-right,” I didn’t realise it but I was probably staring at him for a minute or so. I quickly grabbed my wallet and keys before Taj grabbed my arm and ran out of the room and into the hallway. As we ran down the stairs I heard his black platform boots make a heavy stomp everytime he stepped on the wooden floor. His boots were laced boots that went a few inches up after his ankles. I haven’t really seen him in his style because we never hang outside of the dorm and if we do we always have our school uniforms on. I kinda felt bad because I felt really under dressed. All I was wearing was some denim jeans a simple white t-shirt and my favourite hoodie which was just black and said ‘fuck it!’ very small on the right area on my chest near my shoulder.
It wasn’t long till I realised we were at the bus stop that had the bus which led into the main area of the city. When I looked over at Taj he was so excited. I’m pretty sure he was so excited he didn’t realise he was clingy onto my arm like a bear. I didn’t mind though, it was nice seeing him so excited. When the bus arrived we showed the driver our passes and got on, we sat in an empty spot up near the back.
“So where do you wanna go first?” I asked him, wanting to know where we should go after the bus.
“Well I was hoping we could just wander around,”
“Wonder around a big city? you do know that Brisbane is a massive city right?!” I said teasing him.
“W-well I just thought it would be nice,” His voice was soft and I could see him blushing because he realised how he was clingy onto my arm.
“Don’t worry I’m only teasing! Walking around sounds fun!” I smiled at him feeling bad for making him feel so embarrassed. He put one of his arms up onto the window’s edge and rested his head onto his hand. He just gazed out the window. We sat in silence for most of the ride. It was nice seeing him like this, I’ve never seen him like this. Even though the bus ride was around 10 minutes it felt longer, I don’t know why. When we got off Taj spotted a diner on the corner of the street, he suggested we’d have breakfast there since we didn’t have any before we left.
The diner wasn’t that busy and it was nice. Taj and I got a booth in the corner of the diner and Taj ordered the Breakfast Burger but I just got a plate of hot chips. Most of the day we just spent walking down the main streets and looking around. I’m pretty sure most of the people thought we were tourists or something.
“Hey let’s go to that mall over there!”
He pointed to one of the big malls that were in the city. It was really big and had that modern look to it. Most of its walls were made of glass and it seemed really busy. I smiled and nodded my head and he grabbed my arm and we ran over to the entrance. When we entered it wasn’t that different to any of the other malls in the city but it had a bunch of stores that looked really interesting.
Taj went on this massive shopping spree and I felt bad for his bank account. He was a high schooler. How did he have this much money?! As we walked over to the restaurant area I spotted a sushi train and really wanted to go!
“Hey! Let’s go to that sushi train area!”
“Looks good! Let’s go! I’ll pay!”
“You sure?”
“Yeah my parents are kind of loaded. I haven’t even gotten through half of my allowance!”
“Ok then yeah you’re paying!”
We both laughed a little and made our way over to the restaurant.
The day was really fun and on our way back Taj was so exhausted that he fell onto my shoulder. We had a bunch of shopping bags surrounding us and I was wondering how we were gonna get these bags back up to the dorm even though we were only on the first floor. When we got near the bus stop I shook Taj gently to wake him up and we grabbed all the bags and got off the bus. We were lucky the bus stop was near the dormitory or we would’ve probably died.
Once we reached the dorms Taj collapsed on top of his bed and groaned.
“My feet hurt so much!”
“Well that’s what you get for wearing those platform boots!”
“I know, I know!”
I placed the bags into the only empty corner and walked over to Taj.
“Come here you big baby!”
He turned onto his back and groaned. I unlaced his boots and took them off for him since he looked way too exhausted.
“Come on you’ve gotta change!”
“Fine!”
He then got up, grabbed a pair of sleep shorts and some plain baggy shirt and went inside the bathroom. I got changed into my tracksuit pants and got into my bed. It was hot so I didn’t bother with a shirt. I still wasn’t tired even though it had been such a long day and just got out my phone. A while later Taj opened the door and he had no makeup on. It was surprising to see because he always had makeup on and I never got up early enough to see him without it and at night time he’d take it off when the lights were off. He had such clear skin, which was pretty surprising because he wore makeup every day. He walked out looking tired as ever and turned off the main light, my bedside lamp was still on. He walked over to my bed and collapsed on top of me. I looked down at him and he was so cute. I also noticed he had a few freckles on his face. I didn’t bother picking him up so I just tossed the blanket on top of him. He was sound asleep and I was starting to get tired. I looked at my clock and it was only 9:30pm. I was surprised I was getting so tired at this time of night, maybe it was because of how much walking we did today. I put my phone back down and wrapped my arms around Taj, I was too tired to even care what I was doing at this point. He was comfy and it felt nice having someone next to you.
