Who the fuck cares about what should or should not be done? Not Rafael, for sure. Not when his loins are churning with a burning rage, not when he can almost feel himself choking with frustration. It is aching, if truth be told. He feels it, sitting on that crappy bench protected by a huge willow - which might be the only nice looking shit in that forsaken hole of Russian district. Also known as
the last place on Earth were a Nuova-Camorra prophet should hang out. Problem is, when you are like Rafael and are quick to yield to your emotions, you kind of forget how to properly think and make the right decision. Like, not realising that it is an absolutely bad idea to drag a friend into your mess. Especially when the aforesaid mess occurs in an area where the target on your back is getting wider and wider as time goes by.
«
Dude, you comin’ or nah? I won’t wait forever, y’know. » The greek boy is not necessarily afraid of the dark and of sitting on his own with no one around. But who likes waiting, really? And it has already been 15 minutes since he last texted his friend who was supposed to appear 15 minutes before that. So maybe a call would invite him to be in a
hurrier hurry? Of course, no one picked up. So,
of course, Rafael is leaving a message. Just in case. «
I hope you’re not on the piss or whatever shit like that. You better have the best reason you ever came up with, you fool. » Oh come on, it is all for good sport. The boy might be slightly easy on the crudity, but that did not stop him from loving his friend from the bottom of his heart. Hell, I would say it shows even more the depth of his affection… Still, the only excuse he will probably accept is that Archie got hit by a fucking asteroid which stopped him from being on time. It is full of gentleness that he smacks his finger on that little red phone on the screen, quickly hiding his iPhone into his back pocket. Thing is, he did not really explain to Archie why he had to come here and help him at two in the morning… But that is what bros do, is it not? Having each other’s back even in the dead of night? It is certainly a tad bit pushing it too far, to be angry of waiting when you warned your friend so late but eh, Rafael is not really known for his patience, especially not when there is a urge of breaking some noses raging in his stomach.
