?Dances of Change?

?Screw Mornings?

    'Maybe he already left,' Tyler thought. Rolling his shoulders, he leaves the room and goes downstairs.

    His baseball team left him with... sixty-two notifications. Of the most boring conversation about the girls in school ever.. yayyy. He puts the group chat on mute (finally)!

    Rubbing his eye, he tripped over the last step. "asshole," he muttered. A snort came from the room over- the living room? It's a huge house, okay.

    He finds Logan, just, huddled up on the couch staring outside. Tyler walks over and sits on the other end. "..what're doing up so early?" He mindlessly scrolls on his phone.

    Logan hummed, "It's only past nine," he answered, shifting his attention from the window to him.

    "uh huh."

    "Been up for a while, though."

    "Have you?"

    "Maybe an hour- or two?" Logan shrugged, "I'm not sure."

    Moma has always told him that, ever since he was a kid, he'd never been one for talking. Or was it he's never been on for a civilized conversation?- Doesn't matter.

    Taylor had alway been the more outgoing of the two. Probably because of her easygoing personality and the fact she didn't gain the 'resting bitch face' gene. Like, he likes going out. He just doesn't like talking to people. Especially ones he doesn't know. He prefers staying in, obviously, but he doesn't want to become a hermit. Plus, not that he'd ever admit it, sometimes it's fun when Taylor drags him out of the house to do something.

    Still, he wasn't never one for conversation.

    Or he.. thought.

    Maybe it's just hormones or he just stayed up too late and now he's overstimulated, but suddenly he can't handle the silence.

     His leg bounces up and down. How the fuck do you start a conversation?

    "What- uh," he cleared his throat into his fist, "what are you doing?" It's so, so painfully awkward. Logan looked at him with some sort of amusement and confusion. Tyler switches between glaring at the floor and looking at Logan.

    What the fuck was that? 'What are you doing'? That's such a bad conversation starter-

    "Just, just reading up on astrology and astronomy." Logan shrugged, tapping a finger against his phone.

    "astrology and astrono- aren't those, like, the same thing?" Tyler asked.

    "No, actually-" Logan sits up straighter- "astrology focuses on horoscopes- like the Zodiacs- and how they supposedly affect us. While astronomy is more about space and the universe as a whole," he explained.

    Tyler sucked on his cheek, "Huh." He nodded, then shrugged. "I've never really found space and all that interesting."

    "Well- you don't have too. I just think it's interesting." Logan scrolled a little more on his phone before asking: "What do you find interesting?"

    He shrugged again, "Like- baseball. And guitar, I guess-?"

    Logan snorted, "How do you find baseball interesting?"

    Tyler raised his hands in mock surrender, "I don't know. It might just be because I play it."

    Huh. He never really thought about what he found interesting. Taylor, obviously, found mechanics interesting. Started obsessing over it in fourth grade.
