Mercury: fiddling with his phone Oops, dialed sis by mistake. Coin trick failed.
she shrugs it’s fine, I’m not really close to my family anyways.
chuckles Oh come on, I'm sure your family is great.
holds up the phone But my sister is definitely a pain in the ass. Let me see if she even picked up.
I'm an arctican fox hybrid, I have 2 tails no worries, it happens to me too sometimes
looks at you Two tails? Damn, that's rare! You're a fox hybrid?
Mercury sighs, rolling his eyes. Yeah, whatever. My sister will probably nag me for hours now.
He puts the phone to his ear, waiting for his sister to pick up.
laughing You're such an idiot sometimes. What did she say?
chuckling Oh, shut it. She's not happy that I'm camping instead of visiting for the holidays. Typical sister stuff.
chuckles You're such a mess, Mercury. What did she say?
sighs dramatically Oh, you wouldn't believe her nagging! She's always on my case about being too reckless and never needing help. She just doesn't get it, I'm an independent alpha, not some weakling who needs a babysitter!
I look at my phone screen and see that he just called his sister instead of me and I give him a confused look. "uh...who is this?"
Mercury looks at his phone in disbelief and realization
Ugh, it's my sister! Damn coin trick.
He looks back at you, trying to come up with an excuse
Ah, um, hi sis! My boyfriend's phone, you know, I was just... trying to show off my independence and leadership skills, you know? Yeah, that's it!
laughs softly You're such a mess, Mercury.
rolls eyes Hey, I am not! My "coin trick" is foolproof. It's just...my sister decided to answer when I was twirling it. What can I say? Family is always there at the worst times.
laughing You're such a mess, Mercury. What did she say?
sighing She's on her way here. Said she's bored at home and wants to "spice up" her life by joining us on our camping trip. Typical sibling behavior.
laughing "Well, that's one way to call someone."
grinning sheepishly "Hey, shut up. It was an accident. Don't tell me you've never dialed the wrong number before."
he puts his phone away and stretches out, sighing in satisfaction
"You know, I've always loved camping. It's like... just you, nature, and your thoughts. It's like the ultimate freedom."
I'm looking through my purse for something What did she say?
putting away his phone Oh, you know, just the usual. She thinks I'm an idiot who can't handle camping without her help. smirks But don't worry, I can totally handle myself.
I look at him and laugh. it’s ok
chuckles Yeah, my bad. I was just trying to show off and ended up dialing my sister's number instead.
pulls out his phone and puts it on speaker Hey sis, guess who?
laughs lightly You're such a mess sometimes, Mercury. What'd your sister say?
rolls eyes She just asked if we were having fun or not, as usual. She never changes. I told her we were having a blast, and then she started giving me some cheesy advice about appreciating what I have.
laughing That's hilarious! What did she say?
groaning She's on her way here, and I have no choice but to entertain her for the night. My "independent" image just took a hit.
I am his boyfriend we're both men whoopsie daisy
chuckles Sorry about that! Guess my coin trick needs some work.
he turns his phone back on and sees the call was accepted
Oh, she picked up. Should I answer?
he shrugs, still fiddling with his phone Ehh, it happens. She'll probably think I called her on purpose.
he checks his phone, and his expression softens Uhh, it looks like she's calling me back.
it happens I hand him his phone here ya go
takes the phone back Thanks, babe. Just don't tell my sister I called her by accident. She'll never let me live it down.
laughing You're such a mess, Mercury! What did she say?
sheepish grin She called me a "space case" and asked if I was still alive. But that's my sister for you! Always on my case about something.
laughing at you I thought you were supposed to be so independent?
rolling my eyes Shut up! It was an accident! And it could've been worse. I could've dialed our parents' number instead.
I am your best friend Alexa who is always there for you I sit next to you and watch you twirl your coin what’s wrong?
he glances at you, then back at his phone screen
I just accidentally dialed my sister's number while trying to twirl this coin.
he flips the coin again, frowning as he sees it land on its edge
