closed starter - beck & malia ( @hvlfwygod​ )

While physically Beck had healed from the events of last month, mentally he wasn’t doing as well. If someone looked at him, it was pretty clear he was going through something. This past month had been filled with him doing just about everything to distract himself from going back to that night, mostly trying to wonder what he had done wrong. It stressed him out, and work didn’t exactly make it better at all. The month consisted of many meetings, dates with Kendall, hanging out with Hailey, Koda, and Renee, and just about anything else he could think of to try to escape it, well things instead  of what he shouldn’t do, even though that had been on his mind. Today’s escapades involved Malia, someone who he now viewed as a friend. After getting some lunch and a coffee, he tilted his head lightly at the other. “What do you want to do now?” he questioned, letting her choose what to do now.

Malia wasn’t sure when she’d ever expressed Beck “stealing” her from Jesse as a possibility, but she let the comment slide, more interested in what he had to say about Hazel. It was a little disappointing to hear that they didn’t hang out, but this too she didn’t make a fuss about. “Yeah, I get that,” she mumbled, putting her head in her hands. “She is sooo smart. She’s literally living her best life as a rocket scientist or something. I miss her.” This was suddenly starting to bum her out, so Malia changed the subject. “Why’d you move back? If that’s not like, super personal or anything.”

“You should facetime her or something, that never hurts anything,” Beck suggested, though he slightly cringed at the fact that Malia probably has already done that. Beck shrugged in response to her later question. “I had a bunch of scholarships because of my parents, but that definitely didn’t cover the entirety of MIT, so now I’m in debt, and New Athens definitely has cheep rent, so Hailey and I figured it’d be smart. I definitely didn’t imagine camp ever having something like this, but whoever pushed the Gods to do it, was pretty smart. What about you? Do you like New Athens?”
