It's been a few days since my first day with my new job, and it's going alright. I've had to mute The Group Chat every time I start working, they've been distracting me too much. Other than that, everything's been relatively easy and maybe even I could consider work enjoyable. Speaking of the men in the said group chat, I haven't seen them since my first day, but we all text every day. Even in a new area away from home, I have people to lift my spirits and it feels great. They don't even have to try; if I'm feeling down while thinking about home, I get a little ping of Larry or Tanner bantering to stir up the chat, or if on the off chance that work might frustrate me for a tiny bit, I can take a little look at the note that Yumi left and I feel a smile on my face. I'm broken from my thoughts when I happen to hear a familiar ping. I smile, looking at my phone to see it's - of course - from the group chat.
Nick: yooooo y/n you trynna do something soon?
I kind of sweat for a moment. They have been plaguing my mind, and even though we've met recently, I do kind of miss their in person energy. Is that weird? I think I'm overthinking things. I decide to push my thoughts down and reply.
Y/n: I'm down!!
Y/n wtm??
Yumi: wtf is wtm
Larry: what the move
Tanner: yeah get with the times big unc jeez
Yumi: stfu
Nick: we were thinking of going out to eat this weekend
Nick: minus grunk ofc
Grunk: 😔
Nick: we miss u grunk 💔
Yumi: stfu grunk
Tanner: yeah stfu grunk
Grunk: 💔🥀
Yumi: tanner why don't u actually shut the fuck up for once in your god foresaken life
Tanner: come make me pussy
Yumi: im coming bitch be ready
Grunk: good luck soldier 🫡
I'm too busy laughing at the conversation that easily got swept away from Nick before I realize that I forgot to respond.
Y/n: sounds good!! where were u guys thinking?
Tanner has sent a voice message.
I tap on it and immediately raise the volume on my phone once I realize that Tanner is whispering.
"Day 1, I'm currently hiding from Yumi. I don't think he knows where I am, but I don't feel safe enough to venture out yet. I don't know how much my rations will last." There's a thud in the background of the voice message.
"Tanner? Are you sitting in front of the fucking door you pussy?"
There's a very audible gulp in the voice message, and when Tanner speaks next it sounds like he's gotten even closer to the phone. He's literally breathing into it, "it seems that he's found my location." Thud. "I definitely don't have much longer left." Louder thud. "It's been real everyone. Big T, signing out."
"Tanner move your fat ass away from the door."
There is one final thud heard before what sounds like a door opening, followed shortly by an ear piercing scream that is cut short because of the voice message ending.
I'm dying of laughter, but I hold the voice memo button to send a voice message of my own. "Nooooooo, Tanner!! He was so young." I really try to sound dramatic and play into the bit, but it's really just broken up but my laughter.
Nick sends the address of a restaurant, to which I react with a heart. Larry then sends a video to the group chat of Yumi doing the 'L' dance over Tanner.
Isaac: bruh that scream woke me up
It's not the first time that Isaac's texted in the group chat, but it's the first that I think he's texted while I've been active in it. I react to his message with the laughing emoji.
Yumi: shut up u don't want none either
Isaac: I'll beat your ass pussy
Isaac: now let me sleep
Tanner: cranky wanky isy whysy
Isaac: tanner u want ur ass beat again
Tanner: no sir 🫡
Isaac: tf i thought now stfu ❤️
Tanner: ok papi ❤️
Y/n: whipped af
Grunk: LMFAOOO
Larry: DAAAYYUUUUMMMM
Tanner sent a gif of a dog shaking, like it was scared, at least 10 times. Nick just sent a facepalm emoji. After the chat died down for a few minutes, Nick sent another text asking if Saturday at 5:00pm worked. I reacted to the message with a heart and decided I should probably get a head start on dinner for this evening. It's Thursday, so all I have to do is get through the rest of today, all of tomorrow, and then make it to Saturday. Should be easy enough.
