Busy was trying to mind her own business as she sat on the curb after being kicked out of the club because she had managed to sneak in several tallboys to save money only to find out that kind of thing was frowned upon by businesses trying to make money. She wasn’t exactly a club kid, but after a long day of work she needed to slow off some steam. Nursing a cigarette and one of her aforementioned tallboys Busy watched the man shoveling the vomit off his leather jacket in curious disgust until his comments caused her to giggle. “Not yet.” Busy shrugged. “But I don’t think trying to grind up on a stranger that smells like agave and half digested food is in my future. So you’re safe,” Taking another sip of her tallboy Busy raised her eyebrows at him playfully “for now. I think the real question should be are you drunk, because sober this is a disgustingly unfortunate night for you, but drunk it could just be another Saturday.”
elijah looks up at the sound of a giggle and his brows furrow at her words . ❝ hold on -- are you saying i smell like AGAVE ?? ❞ nose leans towards his shoulder curiously , taking a quick whiff . well , he can’t smell anything , but that might just be his nostrils being damaged by the strong scent of vomit . giving a quick shrug to himself , elijah turns his attention back to the other with narrowed eyes . he takes a moment to ponder their question , not that he’s thinking DEEPLY about it or anything , it’s just taking a minute to process . ❝ uh .. ❞ features winkle in thought , ❝ is this a trick question ? i mean , if i’m going to be HONEST , imma say that i’m .. half drunk ? so .. what’s the thing for that one ? ❞
ONE of the many benefits of being a single father was the handy fact that he carried around a packet of wet wipes in his baby bag, always ready to whip them out if need be and now seemed to be the perfect opportunity for such. “Here…Maybe I can assist.” Miguel said with a soft smile, fingers prying into the bag that normally hung on his back, picking out a few wet wipes. Brows furrow as he took a step forward, tending to the puke on the other’s jacket with a concentration, tongue swiping down against his bottom lip as it tended to do when he was fixated upon on a task. “I…oh no. I’m not drunk. I don’t really drink. Tried it once and it wasn’t a very good look for me. You see…I’m terribly awkward and clumsy already. Adding liquor to the mix, well, that just makes it much more unbearable.” He explained, finishing up before crumpling the wet wipes and reaching down to pick up the discarded napkin and tossing them both into the trash bin. “There…much better.”
elijah’s brows pull together at the older , though he doesn’t pull away . maybe he SHOULD’VE . every instinct in his body was telling him to do so but he supposed the stranger only meant to be kind . his eyebrows only furrow deeper the longer the moment lasts and then they raise slowly at his words , ❝ huh , you don’t say .. ❞ he mumbles . ❝ man , i think you being drunk would make this a lot more excusable but .. erm , thanks i GUESS . i mean , i could’ve been a total CRACK ADDICT or something . ❞ it’s an attempt at easing his own discomfort — elijah’s always been a fan of personal space and usually wouldn’t stand for some stranger touching him like that .. despite the sour turn of events , with his jacket being the VICTIM , he decides that it’s a good thing he’s been drinking . ❝ so , uh , you do this often ? ❞ he questions with a suspicious look , ❝ i mean , why you got BABY WIPES on you , man ?? ❞
“ no , i’m not drunk . besides , why drink at a club when i have access to the world’s liquor store at home ?? a . k . a , my grandparents are alcoholics & my mom enjoys a glass of wine or three after work . “ she shrugged her shoulders , positioning her back of her sweatered shoulder before rolling her eyes . “ well not alcoholics … borderline alcoholics . “
❝ GEE ... real cute anecdote on your family — they sound like just your regular brady bunch .. ❞ elijah tilts his head at the girl and draw his brows together but an amused SMIRK hints at the edges of his lips . ❝ hate to break it to ya but your mom’s starting to sound a lot like my dad so i think it’s safe to say that she’s WAY PAST borderline . ❞
ONCE THE CLOCK HIT THREE AM elliot was wide awake . she remembered as a kid her dad would give her A SPIN in the car of her choice just to catch some z’s . this time around her father was absent so she decided to take it upon herself to take her BRIGHT ORANGE BUGGIE for a ride. not the type to hit up the club she knew there was a gas station near by. returning to her car loaded up on snacks she ran into a familiar face . ❝ sucks to suck , don’t it ? ❞ she teased. ❝ nice to know you traded in our sleepovers for clubs . i hope getting puked on is worth it ! ❞ elliot shifted her weight onto her other foot . ❝ you know i could get that cleaned up for you , free of charge — only if you want too . ❞
he looks up again , at the familiar SNARKY TONE and a grin spreads itself on his face when his sights fall upon elliot . ❝ you’d know , wouldn’t you ? ❞ he retorts easily , back straightening and vomit covered jacket forgotten . elijah rolls his eyes at her jab , head shaking slightly . ❝ see , the thing is , it was . i’d rather get puked on than find myself in a CHOKEHOLD with your dad on the other end . it does things to a guys rep , y’know ? getting beaten up by a senior citizen . ❞ elijah’s grin had softened down to a smile and he cocks his head at the kind offer , eyes narrowing only slightly . ❝ i’d feel bad , but you probably have someone who cleans this kinda shit FOR you , so sure why not . ❞ after a moment and a small shrug , elijah strips himself of the jacket , hanging it off his arm and holding it out for her to take . ❝ am i gonna get to ride your fancy lil car too ?? ❞ he questions with a playful quirk of his brow .
nose scrunched in disgust , elijah wiped off as much puke as he could off of his jacket , letting the used napkin fall to the ground . guess it was a good thing he decided on the leather one tonight . ❝ this is why i fucking hate clubs , man . girls in there kick back tequila like they’re damn CAPRI SUNS ... ❞ he muttered , not really speaking to anyone in particular — just the nearest poor soul that’ll be stuck having to listen to his whining . looking up , he paused , ❝ hold on — you’re not drunk are you ? cause if you are , you gotta stay at least FIVE feet away from me .. unless you’re a sprayer then make it seven . ❞
many people would say that one of elijah’s favourite hobbies was pissing people off and , well , they weren’t wrong . but pissing perrie off specifically , easily makes top three . so there he sat , in her shop , spinning himself dizzy in one of the chairs . ❝ hey GRUMPY — ❞ one of many nicknames , this one’s in reference to the disney classic . he’s quite proud of that one , ❝ — i’m looking to get a new tat . know of any good artists ? ❞ elijah stopped to look at her , brow quirked upwards in question .

— when elijah was eight , his dad realized he couldn’t do this by himself so he ... dipped too sdsfnfknd and left elijah with his older sister
— it was good though cause she ! actually had wanted kids of her own but didn’t want a man cause like ........ obv but ANYWAYS like elijah loves his aunt sm , he feels like he owes her everything . if it weren’t for her , elijah would probably be on the streets right now , a high school drop out .. like she put elijah on that straight and narrow !
— but like , not completely straight cause uk ... he an ~individualist~ . a total rebel , 0 trust for the government , conspiracy nut , lowkey a genius but acts dumber than he is . like , what’s a book ? idk . probably has committed arson . intolerant , sarcastic , definitely an asshole , srry .
— so anyways , even though he really didn’t want to , his aunt made him go to university and study something she thinks he’d be really successful at which was architecture . cause , surprise ! elijah’s the total artsy type , loves to draw , (insert graphic design is my passion meme here) , sims anyone ? yanno , dumb stuff like that .
connections

— hookups / exes . he’s gross , there’s probably a lot .
— half siblings , either from his mom or dad . this one’s sad , he’ll be real sad if he meets them and find out . give me this pls .
— someone he messes w , maybe someone a lil softer , naive , that he’s always taking advantage of in a sense playing pranks on them , like maybe they’re friends and elijah lets them be the fall guy , y’know ?? it cld get ugly....
— oh !! roommates pls .. if ur muse lives in a crappy apartment in gastown and is okay living w a gross messy dude , hmu .......
— ugh , someone he actually cares about .. #gross . but like in a big brother typa way ? cause he’s technically an only child .. just someone he shows his soft side to ..
