‘God Bless the USA’ played for the umpteenth time that evening.
Arthur had answered ZILCH of them.
To be fair, it wasn’t the classiest or more straightforward thing to text the American physics student How could you…. He might have been a math whiz, but even Arthur could tell he was oblivious to common English and the atmosphere.
Alex glanced at his roommate in sympathy, taking a seat beside Arthur on his bed. The latter had his legs pulled to his chest, staring at his phone as the designated ringtone died. Alex coughed to break the silent air an rubbed Arthur’s back.
“You didn’t get the whole story…what if you just saw something wrong-“
“It was him, Alex. It was.”
“It was a peck, yes?”
“That snail eater said ‘Love’.”
Alex pried the phone from Arthur’s grasp. “It won’t do much if you just wallow here. Break up with Alfredo the Doucho and come back here. THEN, I’ll beat him up for you!” Alex smiled genuinely.
“Haha.”
“Seriously. Go talk to him. You sort of need to.”
Giving his roommate a look of nerve, Arthur finally nodded. “I have to give him a piece of my mind. I’m not going to just stand here while he does what he likes. That fu—ker won’t here the last of it!”
“Good job, Arthur!” Alex clapped.
Arthur smiled a ‘thank you’ the other man. “’Scuse me while I throw knives to get into Francis’s room.”
Alex was still smiling as Arthur departed their dorm. Only then did he realize what Arthur had just said.
