Bored and run out of ideas

"Olivia, can I go to your home?"

"Sure."

It's friday, I don't have to do so I'm going to her home, which is not a big deal actually, her home is literally 10 minutes walk or something like that, so not far.

Usually when I'm bored and ran out of ideas I visit her and just do random talk until we ran out of things to talk and I felt a little bit awkward from being there too long without anything to do.

"Olivia!" I'm calling her from her front door.

She open the door shortly after, "you know you can just enter right?"

"Doesn't feel right if there are your parents at home."

"Ah whatever, let's go to my room."

I walk upstairs with her to her room.

I come here often, but it's still kinda surprising that her room is this tidy, considering how she's not the most well-organized person outside, I don't know if it's her mom that tidied all of this or herself though.

Her room is quite big, she can even fit her drum kit here no problem, and there still quite a bit of room to do stuff with, though she rarely can play it because her mom hates the noise it makes.

I'm putting my phone on the table, we're sitting in front of the TV, "why?" she ask.

"I'm bored."

"Just play games or watch something or do your usual livestream."

"Doesn't feel like it."

"So the usual do nothing together time."

"Last night I played at the town square, and met a fan."

"Are we already that famous?" Olivia seems a bit surprised.

"She didn't even know me, until I told her that I'm in the band."

She looks relieved, "Oh, thank god. I don't want randoms to greet me."

"I doubt they can even notice you, you're less noticeable than an ant."

"Maybe I should wear flashy clothes to catch attention."

"I'll puke on it as soon as I saw it."

"Ah yeah, so how it goes?"

"So the girl was looking down, I risked my dignity and asked-"

She cuts into my line, "What dignity?"

"Shut up, so I asked her and she said she was scared of people mocking her, so I motivated her a little bit and we ended up playing together, it was fun."

"That's big from someone who's unmotivated."

I lay down on the floor, "It's easier to just talk than doing it to be honest."

"There are also a lot of people who never experienced love but giving love advice right?"

"Yeah, I don't know why."

"I think I did it a few times back then, but my advice is quite obvious I don't know why she didn't think about it."

"I guess when you fall in love you often forgot the obvious because your mind is filled with love and nothing else?"

"I don't know, you're the one with experience."

"Not a good experience though."

"Is it that bad to the point that you still haven't moved from it?"

"Sometimes when I feel like shit he just popped in my mind and make me feel worse. There are thoughts of 'if only I have you, I can forget all of this', something like that."

"Hopefully he can hear you in that song."

"Oh, speaking of that song, it's making numbers right now."

"I know right? our efforts paid off big time."

"Probably because the song is not a distorted lofi mess recorded in a bedroom."

"If we keep getting more popular, I wonder if labels and agencies will notice us soon?"

"I don't know if I want to be signed."

"Why? it will make us more popular and make money too, right?"

"I've heard in major labels they want you to release music that sells, not the music you like."

"Oh, I see."

"Independent labels are usually okay though, and with streaming, we can still be popular."

"What do you want to do if you're popular?"

"Dunno, keep making music probably?"

"I thought you're going to answer like, buying a mansion or do a worldwide tour or something."

"mansions are stupid, what's the point living in a gigantic house alone, without any attachment to it. And worldwide tour is too exhausting."

"You're weak, when was the last time you exercised?"

"High school maybe, I'm not even athletic in the slightest back then."

"I don't know how you don't just drop dead singing for hours."

"Probably because I like doing it."

Then we just sit there in silence for a few minutes not knowing what to talk anymore, until Olivia says something, "want to play a game?"

So like usual, after we ran out of topics, we just play games, "what are we playing?"

"mario party."

"it's boring with only 2 of us."

"let me call the guys." She is calling someone, "Hey Hanako, you're free? let's play mario party at my house. you're coming? you still remember my house right? oh also if you have spare joycons please bring it, I'm calling Shiina too. Ruru? she's already here." After that, she immediately calls Shiina, "um, Shiina, you free? you're still at work? okay then, see ya." She puts her phone down, "you heard it, so it's just Hanako."

"Ask your mom to play too."

"I'd rather ask your mom."

"Oh, I can't believe I just remembered this, where's your parents?"

"They're on a business trip until next week."

"How about- uh, nevermind." I want to ask her if she is okay with I'm sleeping here but she have stuff to do at uni probably.

"Do you want some drinks? snacks? lunch?" I don't know what's wrong with us but aren't people usually asks these question when the guest just came?

"Iced tea, and whatever snacks you have."

She stands up."I think you should make one yourself, don't be lazy." and then leave the room.

"What an amazing host."

I don't feel like going downstairs, I'd rather lay down here until she comes back.

I don't know why, laying here is so comfy, even though it's just carpet, and there is no pillow, I feel sleepy, if I fall asleep then whatever, it's not good to fight sleepiness, its just wasting energy.

"Hey, wake up!" Someone is shaking my head and yelling at me, I can't see them. "Wake up you idiot!" Oh, it's Olivia.

"How long did I fall asleep?"

"an entire day"

"That's a blatant lie."

She picks up my phone that is on the table, "look, it's already the next day."

I grab my phone from her hand, "what?! let me call my mom, she must be concerned about me!"

I'm calling my mom, "mom! I'm sorry I didn't call you yesterday if I was going to sleep at Olivia."

"What are you talking about? you're sleeping at home last night." She answered.

"But it's already Saturday."

"Can you please put this on speaker dear?"

"uh, okay."

"Olivia, do you want me to beat you?"

Olivia laughs like crazy, "but seeing her reaction is funny ma'am!"

"I mean you're right, I probably pranked her at some point, well just don't go too far."

Olivia still can barely hold her laugh, "yes ma'am."

"Sorry for interrupting you mom, see ya." then I put down my phone on the table again, and start popping my knuckles.

I start tickling her feet and her belly, she can't stop me, she keeps laughing nonstop like she's going insane, well the neighbors probably thought she actually goes insane.

"Olivia!" someone calling from outside.

"Stop! stop! it's Hanako!" She yells at me while pushing me. I stopped and she can barely breathe, "just wait here, I'll open the door."
