Work Text:
You were in bed, laying down on your side while using your phone. Your blanket covering only a portion of your lower half, you didn't bother fixing it. Your mind was too preoccupied with doomscrolling on TikTok, consuming various contents and edits about shows you liked.
But suddenly, the sound of the reel that you were currently watching was replaced by a continuous ringing. You turn your attention on the notification at the top of your screen, looking at the username which read—"🔥My Red Hot Chili🔥"
You winced at the name, physically recoiling your phone away from your face, your eyes narrowing with slight disgust.
'I forgot to change that corny ass name..' You let out sigh. 'This is Kidd's fault for changing it without my permission.'
Reluctantly, you answered Kidd's call. You decided that you'll change it as soon as this call ends.
"Took you long enough." A deep, raspy voice came out the phone, his tone slightly irritated at the delay.
"It was your fault I got distracted."
"Why me??"
"Just cuz. Anyways, what'd you call for?"
"Can't a boyfriend call for his girlfriend without any reason?"
"Hm, fair."
"Besides, you were probably just doomscrolling."
"You know me so well."
Your lips curled up into a small smile. You rolled over to the side, making you lie on your back. You put your phone leaning against your ear, as your gaze ends up on the ceiling. Kidd can be a little annoying, rude, a jerk, but you still enjoy his presence. You love him after all.
But after what happens in the future, you weren't so sure anymore.

The call extended by the minute, just you and Kidd talking about god-knows-what, giggling like two teenagers in highschool. You could yap for a while hour if it's with him, and he's also quite the talker as well. You were having an overall fun time, until he started acting a little...no, really strange.
"Haa...Can you say that again..?" Kidd asked, his tone almost out of breath. You could hear the faint sound of him breathing heavily, which has been more noticeable compared to earlier, it's getting worse too. You dreaded the worst possible reason why.
"Uh..Kidd?"
"Hmh..Yes?"
"What exactly are you doing right now?.."
"What?..Um, nothing."
"Nothing? You're telling me you're breathing this hard but you aren't doing anything?"
"I..uh..am exercising."
"..."
"..."
"So, if I facetime you right now, you wouldn't mind right?"
"Hm? Well..that wouldn't be so bad, seeing your face is easier after all..."
"......I'm hanging up."
"Wait! I'm close..!"
"Kidd!! What the fuck?!"
"What?"
"Don't 'what' me! Are you seriously doing that right now??"
"What's the harm? I'm your boyfriend."
"There's a time and place for everything!"
"Mm..Yeah, keep going. Your angry voice is hot."
"Kidd! Ugh, I'm hanging up for real!"
You hurriedly pressed the hung up button on the phone before you could hear anymore of his bullshit. You let out a long sigh, your eyes locked in the white ceiling, your cheeks blushed faintly because your overly imaginative mind decided to vividly visualised Kidd doing that.
You shook your head in an attempt to erase the lingering image.
You love Kidd from the bottom of your heart but sometimes he really tests that love.
