˗ˏˋ     ᵉˣᵗ·     MoMA   front   entrance   ﹕   we've   got   a   big   ,   big   day   ahead   of   us.   |   co   -   starring @eueclid   as   alice   bingley.

despite   being   the   smaller   of   the   two   ,   alice   manages   to   walk   a   hell   of   a   lot   faster   than   mason   does   ,   making   the poor aspiring actor   struggle   as   he   tried   to   catch   up   as   best   he   can.   he   weaves   through   the   busy   morning   traffic   of   pedestrians   trying   to   get   to   work   ,   appointments   &   whatever   else   is   going   on   in   their   lives   ,   his   long   legs   proving   useless   against   alice's   budding   enthusiasm   for   the art museum.   when   mason   agreed   to   going   to   the   art   museum   with   her   ,   he   didn't   think   they'd   be   going   at   the   peak   hours   of   the   morning   where   the   foot   &   car   traffic   were   at   its   worse.   he   likes   going   to   the   MoMA   as   much   as   the   next   person   ,   but   maybe   not   to   this   degree   ,   not   enough   that   he   has   to   stop   to   apologize   to   a   mom   &   their   daughter   for   tripping   over   the   bluey   stuffed   animal   the   little   girl   decided   to   toss   onto   the   sidewalk   right   as   mason   approached.   was   it   done   on   purpose   ?   probably.   but   even   so   ,   mason   felt   bad   about   stepping   on   a   beloved   character   like   bluey   ,   &   he   was   still   no   where   near   close   to   reaching   up   with   his   friend.   shit.

with   the   MoMA   finally   in   sight   ,   it   allows   mason   time   to   finally   catch   up   with   his   friend   ,   who   stopped   right   at   the   steps   to   admire   the   building.   he   doesn't   even   know   if   she   noticed   how   far   behind   he   got   the   moment   they   started   walking   ,   but   at   least   they   made   it   right   when   the   museum   was   about   to   open   ,   waiting   with   crowds   of   tourists   &   elementary   school   students   dying   to   get   in.   silence   falls   around   them   as   they   wait   in   line   to   check   in   with   their   tickets   &   of   course   ,   as   if   purposefully   timed   ,   mason's   stomach   growls   with   clear   disdain.   in   order   to   wake   up   early   ,   mason   skipped   breakfast   so   he   could   make   it   to   alice's   place   on   time   ﹙   he   was   still   five   minutes   late   but   better   late   than   never   ﹚.   now   he's   gonna   pay   the   price   for   it   for   the   rest   of   the   day   ,   unless   he   can   somehow   convince   her   to   head   to   the   cafe   first   before   they   spend   their   whole   day   buried   in   the   galleries.   ❝   aliiiiceeee.   ❞   he   sings   her   voice   out   like   a   siren   luring   his   prey   ,   paired   with   a   charming   smile   &   the   biggest   brown   eyes   anyone's   ever   seen.   ❝   could   we   pleeeeease   go   to   the   cafe   &   have   breakfast   before   we   start   our   tour   ?   i'm   dyiiiiing   of   hunger.   i   skipped   breakfast   just   to   wake   up   early   for   you.   ❞   one   would   argue   ten   thirty   is   not   really   that   early   ,   but   that's   honestly   subjective.   ❝   i'll   even   buy   you   a   muffin   or   whatever   you   want.   please   ?   you   missed   me   almost   getting   trampled   back   there as we were walking.   i   almost   murdered   a   bluey   doll   with   my   foot   !   a   nice   cappuccino   &   an   egg   sandwich   would   really   lift   my   spirits & it'll totally get me ready to talk about art all day.   ❞
