James would stay up late every night, using his screen name "ExplosionIggy101" to talk to the one person who could keep him entertained for hours on end. Even when he sent him one word responses, or paragraphs about things he was actually passionate about. Of course, James would do all the talking mostly, but he loved being able to just talk to someone each night.
That person would be "FangDarkAngel457."
He couldn't help but smile even just thinking about his name. Here James sat, a fourteen-year-old male swooning over some guy he had never met., Hell, they didn't even know each other's real names. James wouldn't mind knowing "Fang's" real name, but the name "James" is just so… ordinary.
He couldn't help it though; his heart melted whenever he got that little ping on his computer telling him he had a message. And that message was always from "Fang." Sure, sometimes James would start the conversation, but "Fang" was a really busy guy, so he let the other boy start the conversation. He tapped his pencil against his bottom lip, eyebrows furrowed together in confusion as he tried to finish his Calculus homework.
But he couldn't help checking his laptop.
James typed in his AIM password and logged in; hopeful the other fourteen-year-old would be online. He sighed, seeing the little grey circle signaling him that the other boy wasn't online. His cloudy blue eyes returned to his way-too-confusing homework and after about two seconds sighed heavily, whacking his head on the wood desk.
"I just can't do this!" James growled, going over and falling onto his plush bed. Glancing over at the clock only filled him with more dismay; it was already midnight. "Fang" had probably already fallen asleep on him. James eventually closed his eyes, saying to himself that he'd talk to his entertaining friend tomorrow since it was Saturday.
Just as he was drifting off to a calm sleep, the small ping came from his computer and he jumped off his bed. Going into his black swivel office chair, he looked at his screen only to have his eyes light up.
FangDarkAngel457: Hey.
The message was so simple, it probably took him less than a second to think about it, but it filled James with such happiness it gave him little butterflies in his stomach.
ExplosionIggy101: Hi, pretty late for you, huh? Isn't it the baby's bedtime? :P
FangDarkAngel457: *rolls eyes* shut up.
James laughed; this was always their relationship, teasing each other about thing after thing, getting on each other's nerves. It made him so happy that "Fang" hadn't forgot about him for the night. He quickly typed in his response and clicked the little "Send" button.
ExplosionIggy101: I will /not/. Anyways, what did you do today?
FangDarkAngel457: uh…breathe?
He rolled his eyes; how retarded did "Fang" expect him to be? Then again, responses like this from his friend were only normal and he should be used to them.
ExplosionIggy101: no shit, huh? I did that too! xD
FangDarkAngel457: mm, you're energetic tonight.
James actually yawned now, feeling a bit tired from working on the junk called homework and only getting three hours of sleep the previous night.
ExplosionIggy101: Yeah, that's the power of Social Networks, huh?
I think we all know the anxiety of waiting for someone's response, don't we?
