Yasmina finally answers her phone at probably the worst time possible. Ben is playing unnecessarily loud rock music and riffing along with it.

"Ben, do you mind?" Y/N glares at him, cupping his hand around the phone to hear his girlfriend better.

🎵"Y/N's on a phone call!"🎵 Ben sings along to the beat.

🎵"Tryna call his girlfriend, but his girlfriend won't pick up!"🎵 He leans over and gets in Y/N's face.

"Benjamin, I swear to God." Y/N pushes him away.

🎵"Pick up the phone, Yasmina! Come on!"🎵

'I... picked up three minutes ago.' Yaz giggles into the phone.

"Yes, I know." Y/N sighs.

He turns down the music and tries to get Ben to shut up, by tapping him on the arm, causing the other guy to swerve around on the road.

"Eyes on the road!" Sammy calls from the back of the van.

🎵"Yasmina!"🎵 Ben continues singing.

"Ben, Yasmina's on the phone!" Y/N grumbles.

🎵"Yasmina's on the phone!"🎵

'Uh, Y/N?' Yaz speaks again.

"Yeah, hi, sorry!" Y/N clears his throat, "It's, uhm, been a bit. It's really nice to hear your voice."

'Yeah, you know how school is.' Yasmina chuckles softly, 'I actually just finished a big project I've been working on.'

🎵"Mina!"🎵 Ben goes on.

"Ben!" Sammy smacks him in the side, "Yasmina's actually on the phone!"

🎵"Yasmi--"🎵 Ben pauses, glancing at Y/N's screen, "Oh. Oh! Like, right now?"

"Yeah, right now!" Y/N huffs.

"You should've told me." Ben whispers.

"That's what I've been doing, Ben!" Y/N argues.

'Wait, Ben?' Yaz gasps, 'As in, Ben Pincus!?'

"In the flesh!" Ben beams.

"Oh, shut u--" Y/N stops himself, "Yeah! Bens with me! And Sammy too."

"We're actually on our way to see you."

'Oh-- wait... you're coming here?' Yaz stammers.

'Wha... That's-- that's awesome! Uh, what's the occasion?'

"Oh, Yaz, we're in dang--"

Sammy slaps her hand over Y/N's mouth, "Wyoming! Already?" She feigns surprised laughter.

"About an hour out though, so not quite to you yet."

'... Y/N is everything alright?'

"Yeah, of course!" Y/N straightens up, "We just... ran into a bit of trouble."

"Three bits." Ben smirks, causing Sammy to smack him in the arm.

'What kind of trouble?' Yasmina inquires.

"We'll explain more in person, just... stay where you are, and we'll be there to get you." Sammy instructs hopefully.

'Okay...'

"I'll see you soon, Yaz. Love you." Y/N smiles.

'Love you too.'

The calls beeps and Y/N sinks into his chair.
