@narcoleptixs sent: [ REQUEST ] sender walks into receiver’s room hoping to crawl in bed with them [ OOP 👀 ] ( meme )
That night was a sleepless one, possibly due to the fact that Sokol was up into the wee hours of the night on his phone, watching some ice hockey game live if the blare of noise and yelling was anything to go by. You would think Sokol was concentrating with razor sharp focus, but he wasn’t. He was listening for the click of the door lock outside, for the groan of the couch springs when Mike settled down for the night.
Sokol must've fallen asleep at some point, because when he awoke, it was still dark out and Mike was lingering by his bedside. Mike, who no doubt returned from a client who wouldn't let him stay, who probably knew he could score a warm spot in a bed with a friend. And he wasn’t wrong. Not sure what compelled Sokol to put the phone down and grab Mike's wrist, but he did, and fortunately the rest of him followed and Mike was in bed with him.
There was a moment of quietness as the Russian studied him, turned on his side. The only way for the bed to accommodate them both. He could just about barely make out the outline of Mike’s ears, but his expression was unreadable in the darkness. Was he looking at him? Was he asleep? There were so many things to talk about-- but so little time.
It frustrated him, tortured him, left him hollow and spacey as he counted down the days, the hours, when Mike wasn’t around. He couldn’t properly celebrate a job well-done or enjoy sightseeing with Sydney because how could he, when he could be spending that time sorting out his thoughts, with Mike, before leaving this place behind.
Sometimes he toyed with the idea of bringing Mike with him. Finding him a job in the city would only be a matter of pulling strings. Or, as the Russian thought with certain relish, a good honeytrap if a heist called for it. But as much as he thought money could solve everything, it couldn’t. The hustler was a creature of habit in sleepy Idaho, a pacifist, and probably wouldn’t leave.
And just when the window of opportunity to just talk presented itself, Sokol was so infuriatingly sleepy he was fighting to stay awake. So he’d allowed himself ten seconds ( or was it ten minutes? ) of shut-eye, before cracking his eyes open again.
“ You said you had a secret.” The words were even. Measured and deliberate, like the step preceding the steep drop off a cliff. “ You gonna tell me what it is? ”

@narcoleptixs / continued from ask.
she watches him,without it being too obvious - at least she hoped it wasn't,it's his reaction to her words that make her frown,and sometimes,she really regretted being as honest as she is,even if it was raw enough to where half the time,those who knew her best,and mike was one of those people who knew her and knew she'd never bullshit anyone,she wondered if maybe things she'd say were better left unsaid. but she knew deep down,mike needed to hear it. though she nods her head at his words,,green hues still on him,she speaks up,hair kicking up with the slight breeze in the air.
''yeah,i get what you mean. i feel that way at times,sure,like where i am at just isn't...home. it never feels like home,no matter how many times you run and find a new place,nothing makes sense when you run. and sometimes,you forget why you ran away to begin with.''she says with a hand running through her own messy hair,due to the wind,due to her not giving a shit,her platinum blonde locks never staying in place,but the wind felt nice,it gave her a chill she didn't mind,with that though,she listens intently to him before she speaks up again,gently taking the cigarette and taking at hit as she had done before,inhale,exhale - it never grew old,the nicotine burning her throat dull from years of smoking,after exhaling the smoke in rings,she turns back to him,twirling around the cancer stick between her fingers while ash fell to the ground.
''portland doesn't seem half bad. but i feel you,i get what you mean. i'm glad i came down to see you,it's pretty fuckin' boring without you,but i wasn't mad when you left. i don't know if i could,i think it'd break my folks heart. they want me to take over the family mortuary business,and i don't know if that's what i want.''

@narcoleptixs is patching over:
❝ Look, kid, you better turn around and go back to whatever small town hole you crawled away from. ❞ He stated unamused, a cigarette soon finding home between his lips. After it was lit, he didn't bother blowing the smoke away from him. ❝ This isn't a place for a kid; we aren't a shelter that'll take in strays and feed you. ❞ His words were harsh; even he could recognize that. However, in his mind, the kid before him was too young to even contemplate being a HANG AROND.
❝ I don't know what you heard, but this ain't no charity. ❞ It seemed like more and more; obstacles were keeping him from getting off his bike — more and more people finding their way to TM and he had to operate under the notion that everyone was a threat until proven otherwise. The outlaw was already in a fowl mood, walls were closing around the Club and he wanted nothing more than to keep his family safe. But he knew that being a good outlaw came at the expense of being a good man. Perhaps though it was the father in him, trying to deter some young kid from walking down the path of the REAPER.
❝ Why the hell are you hanging around a place like this anyways? ❞
As much as he loved this life, it was no place for a child to grow up; it was no place for a young kid like the one before him to hang around in the hopes of becoming a prospect. ❝ Unless you got a car in the shop, I suggest you find somewhere else to go. Got it? ❞ This time his words were stern, laced with subliminal warnings — a whispered threat, and he was the type of man who always followed through on his threats. If logic alone would not scare the kid away, then he would play the part of the scumbag outlaw.

@narcoleptixs said, “maybe i should be more afraid. maybe.”
The world made a mockery of the fearful - the most trustful ones were always the first to feel the edge of the knife. Someone had to walk the plank first. Cut from birth, shouldn’t they all have known better? Be more afraid?
“No,” fear was a noose, and it tugged like quicksand - move, suffocate, move, and drown in it. “Fuck that.”
Metallic lighter clinks open with a swish - he lights the stick’s edge.
“You know that old idiom? Curiosity killed the cat,” he takes a swift drag of the spliff before offering it to Mike, “that’s only part of it.” History was often forgotten, and so they’d be doomed to repeat it, “The whole expression is, ‘Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back’.”
Shoulders settle against the cushion, “The world isn’t built for fear, so,” a smile cracked wide, “be curious instead.”

For Mike ( @narcoleptixs ), from Sokol with love. Continued from here.
Well, sleep study aside, that’s another way to make money.
Sokol laughs it off like it’s nothing and stubs out the light on the armrest.
“ Really, now. ” Sokol says coolly, but there’s a spark, some intrigue behind the insouciance, more about the man than his profession, and his mind does him no favours by conjuring up an... interesting mental image. One that involves his scarred hands and Mike’s pretty mouth, but with how much they’d fumble in the dark the polaroids probably will come out a blur. It makes him want to take a long, hot shower.
And it wasn’t like Sokol expected Mike to look at him like that earlier, strands of his hair tickling his arm, nose to his forehead close enough to touch, and wow, don’t those eyes look beautiful up close? Mike’s still as calm and lackadaisical as ever, completely oblivious of the heart racing just a breath away from him.
A pistol clatters onto the table. “ Sorry, it’s-- ” Sokol gestures around his waist to show that it’s been digging into his side before sagging against the couch again.
Mike looks worn around the edges, like the paperback he has in his hand. His hair is wind-blown and his boots are streaked with dirt, scarring the marble table and, when he draws his feet onto the couch, marking the leather. But suppose this is what comes with the territory of slogging it out on the streets as a hustler, where home can be in the arms of a stranger or on the side of the road.
If Sokol were to tell the crew what Portland looks like, he’ll probably end up describing Mike.
This close, and Mike smells like the streets, of car exhaust and something musty like he’s been lying amongst cardboard scraps. It reminds him of Kaliningrad, the dusty alley leading up to the apartment block and the children hanging around the burn barrel playing Othello with misshapen rocks. It reminds him of a place where the heater doesn’t always turn on and the air perpetually smells like stale cigarette smoke, but it’s still home.
A pang of something-- guilt, shame or longing in his chest. Is there a word to describe the feeling of missing something even if it’s still here?
“ Hey. ”
A hand darts out to jostle Mike’s knee. It’s an excuse as good as any to touch him. “ You sure you-- staying here? ” It’s insecure. Probing. Demanding, for a glimpse of what Mike’s life will be like when he’s no longer here. He tries again.
“ You not gonna sell this place for drugs, right? ”

“Have you ever driven a car really, really fast? I don’t mean speeding, I mean, really, flat-out, pushing it to the limits, when you think, ‘if I crash this now, I will die’? I know it’s a strange thing to say, but--- I love that feeling, of riding that fine line between life and death, I don’t know, there’s nothing else that gives me that same thrill.”

@narcoleptixs asked: “we’re gonna have some laughs.” / BEETLEJUICE SENTENCE STARTERS
gaze follows the steady stream of neon and traffic lights blurred by the rain . . . one of these days, the whole city is just going to wash away right into lake eerie. shelly hopes the timing is right, and it puts a fizzle on the next devil’s night. her cheek pulls from the cold pane to turn in mike’s direction; while it’s not a laugh, shelly does offer him a smile. her halloween plans are waterlogged, sure, but she appreciates mike’s company tonight. “i could use a laugh, mike. i don’t mind the rain but . . . two weeks straight? think we’re due for a change.”

WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU COULD SAY ?
" i want to be myself, but i can't. "
you have a secret interest or a personality trait that others wouldn't like about you. you may have shown it off once, but it was received badly, and now like hell you're gonna be vulnerable like that again. you dream of the day where someone you like will act this way too and you can finally release this lock in your chest, although that's extremely unlikely. you feel disconnected from others' reality of yourself. it's very uncomfortable.
