Napstablook Headphones Novels & Stories

"It’s to replace that sad excuse you’ve been hauling to every away game." Noah snorted. "Hey, that bag’s vintage." "That bag was a threat to public health." Grinning, Noah leaned across the table and kissed him quickly. "Fine. Thank you. It’s the nicest bag in the world." Sterling reached under the table and set a second package in front of him. "You’re doing more?" "Of course." Noah opened the next gift, pulling out a set of matte black, high-end noise-cancelling headphones. When he turned them in his hands, he caught the subtle engraving: Rivers #88.

Aaron and Hestia both looked at him and once Albert noticed the place that the two sat down, he smiled and waved and walked towards them. “Sorry, it took me a much longer time to get this.” Albert said and raised the paper bag that he carries. It has the logo of Albert’s family company and it was the latest Bluetooth headphones that they have. It was equipped with a high end microphone, noise cancelling option, Led light effects and many more. Albert was also giggling at the fact that he was able to get that even. With interest, Aaron pointed at the paper bag and announced that he also knows about the said headphones. “Oh, that is the new model. I never knew today was its release. Too bad.”

I sit on the edge of my bed in the half-dark, thighs pressed together against the low throb that's been building since the delivery box arrived this afternoon. The new Nexus Veil headset stares back at me from its sleek black case, matte finish catching the faint blue glow from my bedside lamp. No bulky straps like the old models. This one is a slim visor with soft neural pads that mold to your temples and a thin band that wraps around the back of your skull. They say it reads your arousal metrics down to the millisecond, syncs haptic feedback straight to your nervous system.
