"you are a nightmare to deal with," Tulia said with a sigh and a grin on her face. Her brown hair was wet and straight, somewhat plastered to her face from walking through the wind and the rain. The girl was soaked to the bone, and shivering slightly. Making a beeline for the heater, her girlfriend, from further in the house, let out a noise of protest against getting water all over the floor.
"You love me". Dakota was in much better shape, having packed a large jacket to keep herself dry. Her hair was still wet, but it didn't require a towel to try like Tulia's did. Dakota peeled the soaked jacket off, hanging it just inside the laundry door so she would remember to hang it out after the rainstorm passed them by. Weather like this was strange, especially this time of year in LA, the sunny day had quickly been swallowed by storm clouds and torrential wind. She was prepared for a nice sunny day with her sister but instead ended up getting soaked and having to leave lunch early.
"I'm gonna do a stream, you guys want in?" Jasmin called from the hallway towards her room. Tulia called out that she'd be there in a second, but Dakota's attention was grabbed by her phone.
new message from contact .. traitor king
' hey can you pick me up from the Walmart on carson st? its raining '
"Kota? You going to join in?" Tulia asked, packing away her bag in one of the hallway cupboards and looking towards her sister with an inquisitive expression. Dakota shook her head.
"Have to go pick someone up, I'll see you later tho Tuls" Dakota grinned and turned on her heel, headed back towards the door and towards her car which was situated in the driveway of the apartment complex. Not the best place to park, but it didn't block anyone entering as there was a second driveway. The woman ran to her car, a few squeaks leaving her as she complained about trying to avoid the rain. She almost threw herself into the driver's seat and shut the door quickly to avoid getting any wetter.
Dakota hated the rain with a burning passion.
"Carson Street, Carson Street" she repeated as she scrolled through the maps app on her phone, orientation herself in regards to her destination. "Oh- that Walmart, okay". Now knowing where she was headed, the girl started her car and backed out of the driveway, turning left and heading down the road to the large set of lights. Turning onto the main road, Dakota turned up the music a little, tapping along on her steering wheel to the song that played on the radio. She couldn't be bothered in that moment to turn on the Bluetooth on her phone to listen to one of her spotify playlists.
"last time that I saw your face, was recess in second grade" Dakota muttered the lyrics under her breath as she turned the car down Carson st, seeing the large walmart complex at the other end of the road. "and it made me feel young"
"won't you help me sober up! growing up it made me numb! and I wanna feel something again" She was actually singing along to the song now rather then muttering to herself, tapping her hands on the steering wheel along with the beat. Dakota pulled the car into the Walmart parking lot and pulled up outside the overhang where someone was standing with a bag by their side and their phone in hand.
Dakota honked the horn of the car, and the male jumped, looking up quickly and smiling slightly. He grabbed his bags and walked to the edge of the overhang, jogging the rest of the way through the rain and getting into the passenger seat on the other side.
"Thank you, you are my new favourite person" He laughed, dropping his bag onto the ground of the front seat and leaning back a little in the chair. Dakota leaned into the backseat and passed him a towel that she usually kept - clean of course - in the backseat for rainy days.
"I know I know" Dakota started the car and moved off, headed out onto the street. Eret ran the towel over his arms where the t-shirt ended, and through his hair to get rid of water droplets, before throwing it back onto the backseat.
"Hey, can we get some McDonalds? I'm starving-"
"Yeah" Dakotas response was simple and said with a smile. She hadn't eaten much at lunch, so this was a good chance. Dakota had met Eret the year before, accidentally, when Dakota had managed to drop her groceries all over the ground just outside the shopping centre. He had helped her pick them up, and offered her a few of his own unused shopping bags to carry things that had broken the bags. The two hit it off fairly quickly - with Eret carrying most of the conversation as Dakota wasn't exactly comfortable around new people. They became even better friends when Eret came over to visit while Dakota was streaming - needless to say, the views went up, and rumours started that they were together.
The two of them usually streamed together every now and again but hung out in real life more often.

"Oh, I regret every decision I've ever made in my life" Dakota groaned, laying down on her bed later in the evening. After dropping Eret off home, she had gone out and picked up a new set of headphones for her phone, as well as a new phone charger, before being distracted by the gaming store next door and buying two new sets of DnD dice even though she hadn't played a campaign in over a year.
Dakota nursed her stomach. She had already taken some panadol - which was the best remedy she had in the house at the moment - and was laying on her bed with the blankets pulled up to her chest and one of Jasmin's hoodies on her body. She hadn't even removed her makeup, that's how ready for sleep she was. Tiredness tugged at her after spending such a long time that day socialising she could feel her batteries drained.
Feeling no sleep coming upon her, Dakota pulled up her phone and dialled one of the contacts as she waited, she made a clicking noise with her tongue, inviting Bayek to jump up onto the bed and garner some attention from the girl. The black and white cat purred and laid down next to the girl's pillow, settling down for a sleep.
"Hallo-" a voice said from the speakers of the phone, and an infectious smile rose on Dakotas face, her mood lightening up.
"Heya" She replied, setting the phone up next to the pillow so that the facetime call could see both herself and Bayek. Techno's screen was still dark. While he hadn't given her a photo or anything to go off, he had given her a description of his face, and Dakota had seen the sort of half-face reveals that he had done on his channel. She knew he wasn't comfortable with cameras, and didn't push for him to do anything about it. It was his choice after all.
"Whats up?" He asked, there was a little bit of shuffling on his side, and she could hear the sounds of a car and faint radio.
"Sorry- did I call you when you're busy, I can go-" she spoke quickly, but Techno interjected.
"Its all good, uh- I'm just in a cab to my uncle's place" Dakota curled herself up under the covers a little further. "You alright?" the question was softer then his usual voice, filled with what she could have thought as genuine concern. Dakota frowned a little, actually liking the calmer voice he used.
"I'm good, just some stomach pains - I had icecream"
"yeah i saw, with Eret? I didn't know you guys knew each other in real life" The soft voice was gone again. Dakota decided in that moment that she wanted it back, she missed it.
"Yeah. . ." The girl trailed off, not sure what to say to continue the conversation. Why did she call him again? "what time should I pick you up tomorrow?". Techno didn't respond right away. There was some movement on the other side of the call, and the sound of a car door opening followed by soft talking. Then, the sound of keys.
"uhhh, I've got something to do in the morning real quick, maybe 3?" he replied, and the sound of rain on the other line faded out as Techno must have closed the door to walk inside the house. Footsteps were still heard as she continued to talk.
"Sounds good Techno,"
Dakota paused, a thought crossing her mind for a moment. Kode was always a name she associated with her online personality, her online persona. Hearing it from people face to face other than her sister was . . . strange.
"Hey," She paused and Techno hummed, signalling that he had heard her and was waiting for her to continue. "Can you, when we meet up, can you call me Dakota? Hearing Kode in real life is just kind of, weird, I guess," Dakota didn't know if she was making any sort of sense with her words.
"Yeah, of course, whatever you want me to call you," Techno responded. That made her smile.
"Thank you."
"No problem Dakota.
