‘ crap ! ‘ the exclamation rang out of her lips before she could even process what was going on. not a second after the sharp sound of metal clashing on the floor shot another spike of adrenaline through her veins. looking down she realized that her shoes and jeans were basically ruined, but even worse the floor of the supply closet was covered in a pool of paint. a stream of curses flew out under her breath as she frantically searched around the room for a mop or a towel or anything that could help clean the mess to no avail. biting her lip she accepted defeat and snuck out onto the shop floor looking for the closest co worker she could find ‘ um, ‘ she cleared her throat a nervous smile on her lips ‘ you wouldn’t happen to know where the mop is ? ‘
𝐬𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡 & peeked his head towards the sound of the supply closet . eyebrows picked up questioning what could’ve happened . although , he figured that if they weren’t asking for him then he didn’t need to care about it . he went back to skipping up & down the aisles , head bopping with the music . addison caught the his eye & he offered her a smile before slowing down to stop . he noticed how nervous she looked & the smile turned down into a small frown as his eyebrows furrowed together . the mop ? he puckered his lips as he glanced down to what he was holding . there , stationed between his two legs riding it like a broom , was the mop . ❝ uuuhhhhhh . yes , actually , ❞ sebastian said , moving the mop to hand over to addison . ❝ want help ? ❞

❝ 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐨𝐨 . . . i was at the coffee shop when i REALIZED that i had a stamp coupons that was completely filled which means that i got two coffees for the price of one ! & while i could just drink the both of them , i figured i would give the other to you . it’s just a plain black coffee because i’m not entirely sure of what you liked , ❞ sebastian explained , holding out a cup towards his coworker with a bright smile on his face . now , did he already have at least two cups of coffee ? yes . HOWEVER , he ran on at least five cups of coffee a day which he was at halfway right now . what he wasn’t going to say was that he was up all night & drank two energy drinks during that time . but that’s okay because he rearranged his entire apartment which was a task he’d been putting off for quite some time .

‘ i think we should get a cat, ’ he says, apropos of nothing, fingers brushing absentmindedly over the top of the bucket of records they’re sorting through. ‘ for the store, i mean, ’ he adds to clarify, ‘ don’t give me that look, just hear me out for a sec— ’ all pretense of helping to sort through the records is dropped—although to be fair, joe has soft-banned him from handling any of the merchandise ever since he managed to misplace an entire box of 80s classics—as he turns towards the other, eyes shining. ‘ did you know that petting a cat can reduce stress and anxiety ? and people love cats. we could totally increase foot traffic if we had a cat. ’
𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐣𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 , sebastian stopped what he was doing which wasn’t really anything that magnificent & started listening . when mentioned getting a cat , his eyebrows rose up in suspicion . getting a cat for the store would be a great way to bring in customers plus just think of the hours he could spend petting the store cat ! ❝ a cat sounds interesting . although , we’d have to run it by joe & i don’t think that he’d like that very much . so . . . we just HIDE the cat . that’s it , james , put down those records we’re going cat shopping . & of course , if we don’t get the cat from the shelter then we’re doing it wrong . ❞

𝐢 𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 & 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 , & 𝐢 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 . hey wassup , i’m loey & you’re watching the depression channel . i’m 22 years old & i’ve an unhealthy relationship with this thing called netflix . i live in my own apartment with my cat named george , she’s wonderful & we love her , in the smack dab of a college town in the cst timezone . you’ll often find me listening to music , playing d&d , drinking coffee , or finding ways to destroy the bourgeois & if that means i dye my hair & get facial piercings to get myself a girlfriend then so be it . i don’t care for pronouns being non-binary myself but i do identify as a threat . ( & if you get that reference then please message me . ) so , sit back , relax , possibly turn on a light & allow me to introduce my wonderful son , sebastian mccure . trigger warning : internalized homophobia , transphobia , mental / emotional abuse , body dysphoria
⋆ * ✰ — ( elliot fletcher . 22 . he / him . trans male . ) i hope that SEBASTIAN MCCURE isn’t late for their shift again . i swear to god they can be so guarded & forgetful sometimes . then again i know joe hired them two years ago because they’re agreeable & organized , whatever . every time they’re working they always want to play karma chameleon by culture club , it kinda drives me up the wall . i think they ended up working at empire because he moved back into town . they remind me so much of worn out converse paired with jean jackets , chipped black fingernail polish , spending money you don’t have to feed the caffeine addiction .
sebastian logan mccure . . . man , what a guy . he’s a huge ass nerd & enjoys all types of things . if i had to put him into a type , it would be VAGABOND . he’s rather much of an explorer & thrives off of the bare minimum of the materialistic things . he’s much more content with a simple couch for a bed than a house with more than 4 rooms . he’s never satisfied with anything he does & always dream of becoming one of those van - life people due to the simplicity they have . the one thing he will splurge on is making sure that he’s updated with the newest phone & getting a new computer every couple of years . other than that , catch sebastian at the local grocery store getting ramen noodles or at the thrift store getting clothes & other things he may need to keep his studio apartment comfortable . he does tend to spend more time in his hammock outside & at empire records than anywhere else . it isn’t even surprising to find him sleeping in the back room of the store before or after a shift . he is the type of guy who can & does lip sync to every song & dances along without any qualms because life is too short not to have fun .
name . sebastian logan mccure

he grew up in derby for most of his life with an adoring mother , a step-father , & a younger brother .
the family was pretty much okay other than being exposed to very toxic masculinity & a toxic mindset from his step-father , paul , at such a young which in time turned into mental abuse .
sebastian took the brunt of the abuse from paul due to the fact that he wasn’t paul’s own child like his younger brother , alexander , was .
when sebastian came out as trans when he was 9 years old , paul didn’t like that in the slightest & made the abuse even worse to the point of threatening of violence .
but that didn’t stop sebastian for being who he was & his brother & mom showed their absolute support & love .
it did ; however , help spur huge dysphoria which is still a struggle he has to overcome
during his middle school days , sebastian would find solace at empire records .
he would spend every day after school there whether he was doing homework , listening to music , or bothering the workers with questions .
empire records became his home away from home & was the only place that made him feel safe .
when he was 11 years old , his mother , adelaine , started him on puberty blockers secretly without paul knowing & started saving up money in case sebastian wanted to get top & bottom surgery .
we just stan adelaine , okay . she’s 11 / 10 mom .
paul caught on after a few years .
at this point , paul became unbearable & adelaine filed for divorce & promptly moved out of the house with sebastian & alexander to move a couple of states of over in with her sister .
during this stint of being away from derby , sebastian was 14 - 19 , just turning 20 .
in this time , he did get top surgery when he was 18
was voted “ best smile ” & “ most likely to become famous ” in high school
& fought a bigger fight of being bisexual .
with the toxic mindset of growing up thanks to paul , he struggled hard with internalized homophobia finding himself disgusted most of the time with himself which didn’t help at all .
sebastian came to terms with his sexuality when he was 17 but often times still does those intrusive thoughts that who he loves is absolutely wrong
the reason why he moved back to derby is because he had something to prove .
sebastian had to prove to paul that he’s comfortable with who he is & isn’t ashamed of it . he’s finally able to express himself fully & embraces that .
however , when he moved back , he found out that paul found another wife & actually moved away from derby a couple of years prior .
sebastian was reliving his years spent at empire records when joe approached him & asked if he would like a job & sebastian wasn’t about to turn that down .
he’s been working here for two years now .
living in a small studio apartment that’s only a block away with an adorable cat named frankie .
