They were halfway home when Luca stopped walking.
"What?" Noel asked, turning back.
"Let's go out."
"We just came from out."
"No, I mean out out. Like actually do something." Luca gestured vaguely toward the city. "Drinks, music, people. The whole thing."
Noel studied him. "You want to go to a party?"
"Not a party exactly. Just... somewhere alive. Somewhere that isn't our apartment or campus."
"We have plans tomorrow. With everyone again."
"So we'll be tired tomorrow. Who cares?" Luca stepped closer, caught Noel's hand. "Come on. When's the last time we actually went out just to go out? Not for someone's birthday or a group thing, just us deciding to have fun?"
"I don't remember."
"Exactly. Because it's been forever." Luca tugged him forward slightly. "One week left. Then we're real adults with real jobs and real responsibilities. Let's be irresponsible while we still can."
"That's a terrible argument."
"Is it working?"
