"Oh." Sonny pressed his lips to the cigarette, inhaling deep. He felt his muscles release, the stress of the day easing away. He inhaled again, and pulled the cigarette away from his lips, flicking the ash from it onto the grass. It smelled like old dead people, he thought. He didn't really want to ask why he was arrested , so he just sat, trying to enjoy his cigarette. A car's engine started up, and it idled on the street nearby. A very old Cadillac, though the color wasn't very much like the car. There was an old man in the front seat, and two very old women sat in the back, staring straight ahead and talking loudly to one another. Sonny smiled, sort of awkwardly with the corners of his mouth pointing downward; As the car chuffed down the street, they didn't stop to mind the two of them. "You totally nailed it moving to this place," he spoke up, He couldn't help but fidget with his sneakers, rubbing the ends together as he spoke, a nervous habit he had developed over the years. They were chaffed, . and a bit dirty. "It's easy to be invisible here." He spoke like he knew, the need and want to be nothing more than a ripple in someone's day. "Have you been into town?" Not that they were in the middle of nowhere, but there weren't many convenient stores in this isolated island of theirs. The surrounding forest and hills were rusty red and brown, with not much to break the monotony except for this smoky little lake and a shit-ton of pesty bugs, Sonny was still scratching away at a big bite on the side of his thumb.
Tumblr media
He looked sad - he isn't quite sure thats a word that can accurately describe how he felt. more a wash of hopeless, angry, and empty all at once...and sometimes like his head was trapped in a fishbowl, but it was probably all within the same vain anyway appearance wise so Rorke only nodded at the assessment and accepted the cigarette that had been offered with a quiet "Thanks". At least nicotine was something familiar and greatly missed. Maybe staying put wasn't such a terrible idea after all. It truly came down to the little things for him these days. "Rorke." He supplied biting his lip as if contemplating the time he hadn't bothered to really keep track of. "past week, i think." or close enough. The man had spent a few days in a half way house before finding a spot in the complex that appeared more like a retirement community a week though nearly two prior. It isn't somewhere his former self would've chosen, but who he was now preferred the quiet slower pace of the area. "Was locked up." He admitted, not that it was really any of this man's business, but as much as his social skills lacked he still knew people liked to ask questions and where he moved from would have probably followed anyway.

Bobby held her hands as if they would break if he squeezed too hard. His thumb caressed the back of her palm, bouncing their intertwined fingers ever so gently. He smiled at her, catching himself thinking of the moment they met. He was filthy from work, sweaty and maybe even smelly. How she looked his way he could never tell. "Emiliano," he motioned over with his pointer and middle finger. This was one of his favorite places, the aroma and the lights always brought him a sense of comfort. Plus, the food was cheap and made with love. "Can we get more fries? And two cokes, please." Emiliano nodded at them with a gentle smile before retrieving to the kitchen. The spot was small, but had been around since the 50s. "So, tell me more about this business plan?"
Tumblr media
elana was glad bobby felt comfortable enough to at least be somewhat vanerable with her, she couldn’t help but smile at the thought of him being comfortable enough to do so. “i know you do, babe.” elana said as she looked down at his hand’s cupping her’s. “and that’s okay.” she said reassuringly. “sure i’ll take some fries, but you don’t have to pay for them i got it.” she said with a smile, even though part of her knew bobby would never let her pay for her own meal, not when she was out with him anyway.

Sonny's stomach twisted with a pinching twinge as the high-pitched whine pierced through the air, filling the room with an unsettling discomfort. His shoulders slouched, like a wilted flower longing for sunlight. It seemed as though the weight of the world was pressing down on him, causing his once confident posture to crumble. he was never good at remembering things unless they were written down, and ironically he would always say he would, write it down that is, and then he would forget.  With a frown on his face he rubbed his arm, urgency in his voice. "I'm sorry, I thought that… It's important? Maybe you shouldn't have trusted me with it!".. "I mean, it's not like I was trying to be all rude or anything, but I just had this idea in my head, you know? And I realized If I didn't start cleaning everything out of that closet in the hallway, everything would fall on us and eventually kill us. And I guess I didn't really consider how it might come Is it, like, super important or something?" Oh, Sonny, the good conscience scolded him with a resounding Nooo Deep down, he knew that this wasn't the right path to take, but despite that inner voice of reason, he persisted on his chosen course of action. "I can't be a tabs keeper. I'm real swamped these days, you know?"
Tumblr media
ah, yes, that really important thing. the one she was certainly not making up right at this moment out of sheer boredom. she wouldn't let him squirm too long, of course, but what was the harm in dragging it out just a touch? faux pout, hurt expression, that slight whine in her voice... she was born to play this role. "oh, sonny, please tell me you didn't forget. i told you how much it meant to me!"

"Really?" His eyebrows perked up in pleasant disbelief as he moved aside and held the door for Gavin, "You never do what I ask." As much as he hated to admit it, Sonny had a sort of soft spot for the guy. It was an explicable horror so he would rather never address it. Sonny's place was kind of cramped,  it had a bedroom upstairs but that part was blocked off and turned into a separate efficiency. Ugh, the landlord was so cheap, but at least they both had their own bathrooms. Sonny has this one cubic square consisting of a tiny kitchen and bathroom that was next to the closet,  as well as a living room / bedroom.  He didn't really have a couch, so he plopped his mattress in front of the television, but it was comfier anyways.  His dining table was a foldable breakfast table that withheld the force of his various half-empty, lukewarm coffee  mugs .It was still cozy though, the space was his. After Gavin was inside, Sonny scrambled to push some unfolded laundry off his bed, "Let me get thaaat out of the way for ya," before going to the kitchen opening the fridge to get them some refreshments. He grabbed a beer for himself before before cracking the door a smidge, giving Gavin a peek. "See anything you like?" He had beer, soda, some tropical juices, all the sensations.
Tumblr media
A snort escaped Gavin before he nodded, plastering on a faux serious expression. "Name your price." He returned easily. Frankly, the stockcar driver had never been quite sure what it was that intrigued him when it came to Sonny, but for whatever reason the other could ask for whatever he wanted. Gav had interrupted his night, after all, and without being able to let him know about his untimely arrival, he did feel guilty about potentially ruining the night for the other. So, he did mean what he said. Sonny just had to name his price, Gavin would pay it. Who knows, maybe the city would tow his Range Rover before he got the chance to call anyone. Which would frankly would be even easier for him. "Sounds like something I can get onboard with." He laughed, smirking at the pajama pants he caught sight of. "All very mysterious sounding but you've got it. No questions from me."

Sonny was glad to have a new neighbor. Not that he ever really saw himself as the quintessential friendly neighbor, the kind who would bring you chocolate cookies, borrow your tools type of neighborly either…but seeing someone around his own age move in felt like a luxury he'd never get to see. Most everyone else around here was geriatric; It's like the retirement capital of the world or something. And while they were all sweet, and surprisingly really funny and raunchy, but this was like a breath of fresh air in his otherwise mundane suburban existence. He was halfway through digging a carton of cigarettes from out of his butt when he his attention was abruptly diverted--as if he wasn't the one imposing--stopped to look at this yet unknown creature. "Well, you looked so sad all by yourself, figured I'd join ya." He flashed him a toothy smile, offering him a cig out of his pack. "They're the really minty ones so it'll feel like you just brushed your teeth." … "I'm Sonny. When'd you move in?"

(Plot based on being fresh out of prison from excon perspective x. He's a kid of the system. Was in and out of juvie when he was young then finally landed himself a m*rder charge as an adult even though it was "technically" in defense of a third person.)
Tumblr media
He was sitting on the stoop out front watching the world go by when the other came out and seemed to take it upon themselves to join him. Their proximity made him shift uneasily and reminded him how much he hated this. Hated that he didn't know how to be around another person anymore and the way words seemed to die on his tongue half the time they tried speaking to him, but he forced himself to stay put anyway. Even if their kindness was a bit more frustrating than it should have been because the man simply didn't understand why they bothered. "Why-" he began then took a breath collecting the rest of his words as he looked away from them for a moment before finishing his thought "Why're you so comfortable next to me? ...M'not even a nice guy."

"Atta girl." Bobby smiled softly at her, mimicking her pose. his doe eyes stared into hers, and now that the storm within him subsided he realized his mistake. "I apologize, alright? I wusnt thinking straight,," his voice tinged with a mix of regret and vulnerability. He scooched a little closer so that he could take her hands into his, "I get in my own head sometimes." His thumbs petted the back of her soft hands; his own were big enough wrap around them. "You hungry? You want some french fries? I'll get you some."

“because it’s not important, that’s why i didn’t tell you.” elana knew he wasn’t a fool, but she also knew she was telling him the truth. she watched as he lit the cigarette, she couldn’t help but crave one herself, but she didn’t smoke inside, she refused to do so but she wasn’t gonna berate bobby for doing so. she rested her elbow on the table resting her chin in her palm. “you seriously threatening to break up with me cause i was doing my job?” she mused, she knew bobby was a jealous man before they got into their relationship but she never would have guessed that a one time dinner would be this big of a issue for bobby. “fine, next time i have a business dinner i’ll tell you before hand.”

Vera enjoyed the special attention. As their gazes intertwined, through his eyes, she looked in her own. Her reflection revealed the alluring nature of her enchanting smile, the delicate creases of mirth etched upon her brow; the dappled freckles adorning her chest as she drew nearer to him. After he had his sip of wine, she pressed her thumb across his wet, bottom lip, before delicately bringing it to her own to taste. "Delicious," she murmured. Now the real question was if she wanted to kiss him in this very moment or to tantalizingly prolong his anticipation. One last sip, she thought to herself, before extending her hand out to him, softly saying, "Come." She wore a silver wedding band, but that didn't matter right now, and it wouldn't matter when they were together. They had a room waiting for them in the hotel, and she didn't want the flowers to lose their fragrance before she'd had the chance to smell them.
Tumblr media
“Mhm,” He hummed in return, before a coaxing smirk tugged onto his lips. “Anything you want. You know I’ll do whatever you so desire…” The time he spent with Vera was time he looked forward to, whenever he’d get the call or text that her husband was out of town again. She was a wonderful distraction from the business that his life often put him through, a game that no matter the result he never felt like he’d lost. The fact that he had to wait until her husband left, forcing him to have to wait between times, just made it all the more addictive. Gavin kept his eyes trained on Vera’s beautiful face over the rim of his glass, brow arching slightly. A chuckle escaped him. “You know I always do. You’re hard not to miss, gorgeous.” He grinned, taking a sip of his wine.

Bobby had already decided he didn't want to continue arguing by the time he finally let her talk, pursed his lips as Elana scolded him. he wasn't a fool and he wouldn't be taken for one. "Yeah, yeah, and why is it I have to find out rather than hearing it from you, huh?" He sucked his teeth, eyes glancing at her from behind his cupped hands as he lit his cigarette. They were inside but he needed one bad, or else he'd be shaking the rest of the time. He made it clear he wasn't in a good mood, he didn't want to be bothered unless they were pouring him more coffee. "You're my girl now, you're gonna have to start actin' like it. Or this," he motioned between the two of them, dragging in a deep inhale, "Is done. Alright?" Bobby could be caring, and sweet, all those things. He could run the bath for you and massage your legs, give you soapy kisses on your forehead, and wash your hair for you. One thing he wasn't, was understanding.
Tumblr media
“okay then.” elana said, she knew there was no telling how long bobby would be mad at her. “are you serious?” she asked with a arch brow, she could have guessed that she knew exactly who bobby was talking about. “i told you he’s a business partner, a investor in the club.” she said with a shake of her head, she never would have agreed to go to dinner with the other male to discuss business if she knew bobby would get this pissy about it. “dinner was a one time thing.” elana said with a roll of her eye’s.

"More research?" Jason was flabbergasted to say the least. "I basically used the entire textbook… and, and not to mention-" his words sputtered out in exhaustion, eyebrows pushed down on his tired eyes as he frowned. This was probably the hardest he worked on anything for this class.. he tended to slack off and not pay much attention, However, circumstances had taken a turn for the worse as he found himself on academic probation for the current semester. With this predicament at hand, he realized that he had no alternative options available to him in the unfortunate event of being kicked out from the institution. Jason exhaled deeply, he felt so small standing there, feeling out of options. "Can I re-submit? You know? C'mon," He slouched, hovering over her so she could really look at him. "What can I do?"

Lucy appreciated his patience, she didn't particularly like to keep students waiting but she knew if she didn't finish marking this one, she'd be lost when she came back to it and that would mean she got home to her family later. Pen down, she turned her attention to him, nodding as she remembered him from those lectures. "Right. I don't like giving those sorts of grades, I assure you, and the information you had it was good, for the most part. But there were parts of it that I felt could have used a bit more checking, a little more research."

"Uh... yeah, I totally remember doing that really important thing you asked me to do earlier... ," Sonny's voice drifted off, he kinda looked to the side, almost in thought, "Just so we're clear though, it was the............." he trailed off again.

"Fine." Bobby's thick, italian, Brooklyn accent spoke through. "I will stay mad, in fact, I'll stay pissed as long as I damn well please." It was true, Bobby was stubborn that way, it was a sort of arrogance that was bred through generations. He knew not forgiving was a sin, he felt the burn of his silver cross bouncing against his shirt as he leaned back and pulled out a cigarette box from his back pocket. "Go on, you and I don't have nothing else to say no more." He sniffed, "I'm sure he's waiting for you."

“and i told you im not going anywhere.” elana said not even looking up at the male. “you can stay mad at me all you want, bobby, i aint leaving.”

"No way, man. seriously, you can't just waltz in here and expect to use my phone without paying for it. That's not how things work, you know?" Sonny's voice carried a subtle, yet unmistakable tinge of annoyance. It was more than just a hint, it was a palpable undercurrent that laced his words. It's not like he was completely knocked out or anything, but he was totally engrossed in this crucial marathon episode of Misfits of Science. I mean, we're talking about the kind of marathon that keeps you on the edge of your seat, eagerly awaiting what's about to unfold. And to make matters even more intense, there were only a mere five minutes left of the dreaded commercial break. You know, those moments when you're forced to endure mind-numbing ads while your heart races, desperate to find out what happens next. It was a race against time, a battle between his dedication to the show and the relentless intrusion of advertisements. "Alright, so, like, when you come in, it's understood that you're on board with the whole deal, you know? No ifs, ands, or buts about it," he said, his hand gently pushing the door open giving us a revealing his green fuzzy pajama pants  he also had this massive slurpee cup from 7/11 practically attached to his hand. It was like a part of him. "And Look, I'll ask you to hold your horses, my friend. No asking any questions yet."

"Oh, Really?" Vera let out a playful hum of annoyance. "What am I going to do with you?" She always enjoyed their little game of cat and mouse; whenever serendipity would grant them the opportunity. it wasn't often her husband was somewhere else for work but when he was gone he was gone for weeks and he left her all alone, what else was she supposed to do? Vera didn't know much about Gavin, and as far as she was concerned, he didn't know anything about her. It was at her request, even if at times it was difficult to do so, she had specific rules about their playtime. The glass bore the mark of her lipstick, as the fragrance of the wine enveloped her senses, inducing a further sense of relaxation. She observed him from beyond the transparent barrier with a gaze reminiscent of a seductive vixen, innocently asking, "Did you miss me?"
Tumblr media
“It takes a lot more than that to embarrass me, darlin’. Though you’re more than welcome to try again, if you want.” Gavin smirked.
