intermission // gawsten (au)

teaser

the last note of dear theodosia ends, and as the curtains close, i can practically hear jawn fall onto the stage floor with a sigh. i guess playing the murderer of a founding father is hard. it's the second time i've gone to see the local theater put on hamilton (i was kind of forced to, almost all my friends are either in it or working on it), so i know it's intermission.

"psst! awsten!"

i turn to see jawn in the stage doorway and run over.

"what do you want, jawn? i was gonna see if that hot guy is working concessions before people start dying and cheating and shit," i say, leaning against the wall next to the stage access door and ignoring otto's "too late!" from where he was eavesdropping behind jawn.

"your sister wanted to know if you were going to have dinner at your parents' place? she'd ask you herself, but she's helping grace find the act two angelica dress," he tells me, pulling his jacket back on.

i nod as someone, probably zakk, tells him to hurry up.

"great. his name is geoff, by the way."
