Catch Your Wave

[everlastingsoul]

Just a fanfic conversation, set in the same Suikoden AU world for the story "Move Along" (unfinished). Albert and Caesar, several years after mentioned story.


"Albert! Allllbert!"

There was an audible sigh on the other end. "What is it, Caesar?"

"I got the part! I totally rocked the audition, and they want me on!"

"You auditioned for something? Congratulations."

"Didn't I tell you? It's a band called the Fire Bringer! Their first frontman stepped down so he could get married, so they were holding auditions over at the Hideaway. You know where that is, right?"

"No, I don't."

"It's over by the Tower. Hugo dragged me down, and I was a little wary about it--"

"--In other words, feeling lazy--"

"--okay, fine, I was still sleepy, but the others liked me. The drummer, Roy, even threw his drumsticks at me!"

"So you must have passed some sort initiation."

"I guess so. Vill gave me an icepack, and now I'm waiting for Kyril to get me a copy of their songs. Then Hugo, Thomas, and I are gonna get burgers, so I'll be back around seven."

"Thomas is in the band, too?"

"Huh? No, no! Of course not! Heh, Thomas is studying for a test tomorrow--"

"Like you should be."

"Oh, c'mon! I've got plenty of time to study--"

"It's almost 7 PM."

"Will you stop interrupting me? Geez, Albert--"

"I've got a client to meet in five minutes. I don't have that much time to talk."

"...Oh. You could've said something sooner."

"Your text message said it was 'urgent.' And then you started rambling."

Caesar snorted. "We'll talk later, then. ...Now that I'm in a band, we've gotta jam sometime!"

"I don't 'jam,' Caesar."

"Well, you used to. Isn't it called jamming on a professional level, too?"

"Are we really having this conversation right now? We can talk about this at home."

"Fine, fine. Don't be such a spoilsport, Albert."

"I'll see you later."

"Hugo's out with his car anyway. Love ya, bro."

"Nn... Love you too."
