"It's okay," Gage murmured. Breathe in, one. Breathe out, two. He didn't want to show how much excitement and ease he felt at hearing Asha's voice. Even if he knew he caught the other boy at a bad time, he couldn't bring himself to regret it. He blinked his eyes open, tilting his head slightly in confusion. But wait, it didn't just sound like he woke Asha from sleep. "Is it...that guy you told me about before?" he asked, feeling a little tense as he remembered the conversation and how pained Asha sounded at the time. "Are you fine? If you want, we can practice today still..." He trailed off, not sure if he was helping or not, and why he really wanted this so bad.
