with one hand blocking the sun's rays in her eyes and with her phone in the other , loren scrolled through the newly taken photos . letting a disappointed sigh escape her plump lips as she looks the person in front of her . “ these are shit , can you take some more ? and hold the phone steady this time . ” she asks , waving her phone in front of them .
when she sighs, noah responds with a louder one of his own, rolling his eyes with no attempt to hide it. he’d long since learned how to deal with bullshit requests but it stands that he isn’t getting paid to deal with it right now. he’s also off for the first time in six — seven? — days and all he wants to do is finish the book that has been laying next to his bed unfinished for months now. “ if you wanted quality, you should have asked a photographer, not a fucking barista. ” he still reaches out to take the phone from her anyways. this time, though, he makes a point of using his other hand to steady the phone. he takes a few more photos before outstretching his hand to give her phone back for the second time. he raises a brow, asking, “ better ? ” he’s not sure if he cares if they are.

* ── ( nick robinson , twenty five , cis man , he/him/his ) welcome to hilton hills , noah reese ! after living here for seven years , we are so glad you have decided to stay here this summer and work as a barista . a lot of the other locals have said you can come across as - resentful and - jealous , but are also known to be + romantic and + a dreamer when you want to be . if we were to compare you to anything , it would be the clock blinking 3:00 am as you scribble down the line of a song you dreamt of, burnt fingertips not feeling the intense warmth of pastries you pull from the oven, and anger and sadness that burns in your veins and sours your mouth . make sure not to be late for your first shift and clock out in time to make it to the bonfire tonight ! i hear they are going to play stick season by noah kahan just for you !
hey what’s up hi hello — i’m kip & i’m here to fulfill my promise of saying that noah is a trash can. keep reading to learn how! a bit about me first <3 i’m old (24 is not that old but i’m old inside of my heart), i’m tired, & i just really want to write. i thrive on angst & i love plotting & sending stupid but relevant memes. below is a chaotic & brief about but it will get the job done in the meantime ‘til i’m finished a super long & thorough rambling brief. please please send me a dm if you wanna plot with keaton &/or noah!
noah was born in upstate new york to a family that struggled. for the most part, that was okay though. they had each other & food on the table most nights & hand-me-downs from friends or family kept them in clothes that fit. he always thought his family was the best part of the small town he was from.
the rest of it was stifling — it was filled with people content to spend their entire lives there. they didn’t mind if they never left, not even for vacation. the idea of that made noah feel like he was drowning. youtube could only take him so far, especially when he heard the squeals of the pipes over whatever played through his tinny headphones.
the summer he was sixteen, he saved up to buy a better computer, a microphone, & a great set of headphones. he started posting his own music online — himself singing along to his playing of a three-times-over passed down guitar.
it was an escape that didn’t require going anywhere, especially when he had chance to talk to others online.
he loved it. he really fucking loved it.
and then a chance came. a label rep saw his videos & wanted him to go to their headquarters to chat. they scheduled for two months away.
noah worked overtime at three jobs to get the money for the tickets. but he did it. he stared at his bank account until he knew the number he read on screen was real. he planned to buy the tickets the next day, but the worst happened. the family car was shot. needed a new engine. noah gave his money to his family & he reached out to reschedule.
fortunately, they did.
he scrounged and grinded to make the money back. this time, though, more awful news. his mother was sick & noah couldn’t justify leaving.
this time, the label wouldn’t reschedule. he lost the money on non-refundable tickets.
he was still stuck in his shit little hometown. he watched people pass him by.
as soon as his mother was in good enough health that it wouldn’t weigh on his conscience, he left.
he went to new york a dreamer & seven years later he’s a cynic.
the one chance he ever had, he’s never seen anything like again.
he’s angry & bitter & sad.
he’s still working three jobs too which really fucking sucks
—
can you see from the above that i love pain? that said, noah doesn’t! he doesn’t know how to cope with it & that makes him angry. he lashes out & has got a really sharp tongue
which means sometimes it’s directed towards the people he cares about! i hope those people have got thick skin
he’s sad & very lost
he loves music & writing still but somedays he wonders what the point is
his biggest fear is going back to live in his small shit hometown & having to see everyone he left with a not-so-nice exit (middle fingers and swear words were involved)
underneath all his sadness & anger is (was?) a person who really fucking cared about his loved ones & wore his heart on his sleeve
he used to be gentle & kind but now he’s just jaded :/
he talks to his mom every week & she’s still his biggest supported (which makes him feel guilty because he was the asshole who left!)
