two lives isn't easy

After he spent the last ninety minutes building a snowman, the best snowman of them all he’d argued with a bunch of random kids, Jason took a step back to admire his ‘work’. “So beautiful,” he commented out loud to no one in particular. At that moment, a snowball came out of nowhere and hit his beloved snowman, messing up the face. “Hey! Leave Frosty alone!” he shouted at them, hurling a snowball back in the direction it’d came from. He used more force than intended, then a small snowball fight broke out.

Andi was simply walking through, admiring the skill some people put into their snowmen. It was incredible. He loved watching things like this. It was such an odd talent to have, but it fascinated him. Walking with his hands in his pockets, he suddenly stopped as something hard and cold hit him on the side of his face with some force. Immediately, he reached up to touch his face.

There was always hesitation for Genevieve to leave home, if not for work or running errands for the day. ‘Tis the most wonderful time of the year.. only the magic and appeal of Christmas was lost to her this year. If it weren’t for Zoe, her almost one year old, she really would have preferred to skip the holiday altogether. Thus, she could try and pretend to enjoy it. The gingerbread house competition was minutes from starting. It was the first thing she felt up for. “I’ll do it if you do it,” she looked at the person beside her, briefly smiling. “We can be a team if you want.”

Andi was simply trying to figure out what was going on in the area, as he watched people setting up for some sort of competition. He was surprised when someone nearby spoke to him. “Oh... me?” He gestured to himself and looked at her with raised eyebrows. “I don’t think you’d want me as your partner for this... my hands are too big..” He said softly.

Having been persuaded to go by Andi, Virendra found himself at the christmas festive and thoroughly avoiding the extra religious booths as he considered the holiday more about peace than about religious attachment. It wasn’t bad though and seemed to be more fun than he had assumed it was going to be when he had first agreed. Looking over at Andi, Virendra smirked as he picked up a gaudy necklace of oversized christmas lights that blinked. “Do people actually wear these things seriously?”

Andi was by no means religious, but he loved the holiday season. It was just a little bit sweeter than the rest of the year. People seemed to be a little more generous and kind hearted. Andi of course liked looking through all the brightly colored decorations and items for sale. Picking up the necklace he smiled, picturing it with his sexy Mrs. Claus outfit he wore for his Christmas numbers. “I don’t know. Nor do I care. It’s fun!” He smiled sweetly before gently setting it down. “Thanks for coming with me, by the way.”

Danny loosened his grip on the st bernard’s leash as Rufus’s attention was clearly being reflected. “Oh good.” He looked up at the sign of the bar in front of him. “I didn’t even know this place was here. Anything fun going on tonight?”

Shaylea scratched behind the dog’s ears. She loved giant dog breeds. Seeing her long leg peeking out, she stood up. “Ah.” She said with a slight grin as he said he didn’t know the place was there. Straight guy. “ We have our shows as usual. Booze. Good music. I’d invite you in, but...” She patted the dog’s head gently. “I don’t think this guy is 21 yet.”

Late night walks were probably the worst part of having a dog, and such a big one at that. Daniel was ready to go to bed, but of course, his goofy furball was more energetic than ever as he half dragged Daniel along the sidewalk. His phone rang in his pocket, causing him momentarily distraction just long enough for Rufus to take off and beg for the attention of the person attempting to walk past them. Daniel shoved his phone back into his pocket and pulled Rufus back to him. “I’m sorry, he’s just saying hi.” He apologized with a small laugh.

Shaylea had just finished her opening song, and always liked to get some fresh air between sets. It always got so hot and muggy in the bar. She put her long coat on over her skimpy outfit and walked outside. It was late, so she stayed aware of her surroundings, knowing it wasn’t always safe out for her. Seeing a beautiful dog, she couldn’t help but smile and crouch down to greet him. “Oh he’s perfectly okay. I love dogs.” She said sweetly, before finally making eye contact with the owner.

Mason chuckled as he let the kids go, allowing them to lay down on the bed once they were free once again. “Well if I knew someone was going to notice, I definitely would’ve dressed a little nicer.” Unlikely, he didn’t own that many clothes and what he did were mostly his lazy attempts at fashion. His flannels were probably the nicest things he owned. “Yeah, I’m sorry. I know kids running around stores is kind of obnoxious, hopefully that doesn’t ruin your, uh, experience.”

Andi smiled as he watched the kids scramble onto a bed. “I think it looks good. I couldn’t pull it off, that’s for sure.” He said with a kind smile. “What? Oh gosh no.. it doesn’t bother me at all. It’s kind of nice. They seem really happy.” Andi watched them with a fond smile before turning back to the handsome man in front of him.  “I’m Andi, by the way. I just moved in to the area.”

“They serve food here?” A little shocked, he glanced around as though he might magically acquire a menu. He wasn’t sure if he’d offended the other person, but he wondered for a moment if perhaps he was one of those ex-alcoholics that frequented bars and only drank water. “Don’t know any either, huh? It’s okay. They’re just a good laugh, that’s all. Enjoy the chicken.”

“It’s a little menu.” He slid his small laminated paper over to the man. “I have never been here before so I can’t tell you if it’s any good or not yet.” It was close to his little apartment, so he hoped the food was decent enough. “Uh.. no. I’ve never been good at the whole.. picking people up thing.” He said softly as he sipped his water. “Thank you for the offer though. It’s nice to know there are friendly people in this city.”

Mason was in the middle of coaxing his own children off of a bed when he felt a tap on the shoulder. At the statement, he glanced down at his worn-out jeans, flannel and his messy hair before quirking a brow at him. “Well, sh – I mean, I’d hope they’d fire me if I worked here. I think you’re looking for someone more…appropriately dressed.” He commented as he scooped up one of the twins from the bed, the other just barely evading his grasp. 

Of course Andi managed to interrupt the most rugged man he had ever laid eyes on. He suddenly felt short for once, even though he was 6′5″. “I don’t see anything wrong with your outfit. It looks.. nice.” He said silently telling himself to shut up. Guys like this were always trouble. He turned seeing him grab a child. Maybe he judged too quickly. “It looks like you have your hands full...”

Evelyn was at the mattress shop for over an hour, she was waiting patiently for someone to finally acknowledge her to give her some assistance. If she hadn’t worked retail in her life, she would have caused a commotion, but today, she decided to stay patient. Turning around from the tap, she sighed “Finally” she groaned before realizing someone had mistaken her for an employee. Looking down at her clothing she looked back at him. “I’m sorry do I look like I work here?” she asked raising an eyebrow before shaking her head. “It’s fine, if you’re seeking for help you’re going to have to wait for a while, everyone is BUSY” her voice had raised a bit as she was now beginning to grow impatient. All she wanted was her fluffy pillow and she was done.

Andi blushed and took a step back as she snapped at him. For some reason, he couldn’t think on his toes like this. Had she been in the club, where he felt safe and comfortable, she would have gotten a hell of a lot of attitude right back. “Sorry.. I just.. didn’t see anyone... and I wasn’t really looking at your clothes...” He slipped his hands in his pockets. “What are you looking for? I’m just trying to find a mattress.”

carmenmadani:

Carmen was strolling through the store, not looking for anything in particular. She just got off work and the adrenaline was still rushing through her veins, so going home to sit on the couch was not an option. While aimlessly wandering through the aisles, she was interrupted by a tap on her shoulder. Turning around, she offered a friendly but slightly confused smile as she didn’t recognize the person who wanted her attention. It was only after he explained himself that Carmen chuckled. “No harm was done. Besides, I accumulated so many hours in here, might as well work here. What do you need?”

Andi was immediately embarrassed by mistaking her for a worker at the store. In a glance that might have been misinterpreted as leering, he looked over her outfit. He wished he could look like that. “Oh Um.. well I just moved to the area, so I just thought I would get a brand new mattress for the occasion. One less thing to move you know?” He said with lightness, posing it as a joke when in reality, he had no choice.

“Alright, how about this.” Greyson leveraged. An emply glass was in front of him, though he was turned to the side to speak with the person next to him. One arm leaned against the bar top as he waited to be sure he had their attention. “You tell me a good pick-up like and I’ll buy you a drink. But, it’s gotta be really good.”

Andi looked up hearing hearing someone next to him speaking. He was still fresh to the city. The pick up line request threw him off guard. “Oh.. I’m... just waiting on some chicken tenders...” Honestly, Andi was wary of any man trying to buy him a drink. Especially a guy like this. Masculine, good looking, flirtatious. It had to be a trap. “I am just gonna stick with water. Thanks.” He spoke with a soothing soft voice.

Andi was still extremely sore in his back, ribs and shoulders. He had only just arrived in Chicago a few days ago. Having to leave so suddenly left him with only the items he could fit in his horribly vandalized car. He head moved in with no furniture, so he was out looking for a good place to get at least a mattress. “Excuse me?” He said softly as he tapped someone on the shoulder. “Oh jeez... I’m sorry... I thought you worked here.” He said, face flushed as he realized his mistake.

More about Andi:

Andi grew up in a small town in Missouri that was not at all accepting of LGBTQ. 

He had to hide who he was until college when he finally got a job in an LGBTQ bar, where he got good mentorship and relationships. It was his first time trying drag. 

Drag became the only way he could express his bigender feelings. His female persona of Shaylea is where he s more comfortable. 

He grew up in the club becoming regionally famous in the underground circles. He developed a relationship with a patron who ended up being abusive and outing him around his home town. 

He was chased out of his hometown by his parents, friends and other family.

Now he continues to try to keep his two lives separate, afraid he will have to leave Chicago if he is found out. 

Goes by HE/HIM/HIS when he is not in the drag club where he works. 

3 fun facts:

He is an excellent seamstress. 

He has accepted money for hookups. 

When he wears his favorite platform heels, he is seven feet tall.

   “Sorry to hear that. I recommend some ice or pain killers” he replied with a warm smile, “I am Alex nice to meet you Andi. It’s a cute name for an handsome guy”

“I will probably be using an ice pack as soon as I get home.” He said, switching his basket from one arm to the other. “Oh!  Uh.. thank you... that’s very nice of you to say.” He looked down shyly then back up at the man. Was this guy flirting? Or just being polite? Andi briefly looked into the man’s cart as if there was some sort of secret gay clues he could find.

Kevin grinned at the compliment, not letting it get to his head, simply because his head was full of comments of the like. He knew himself attractive, people often reminded him too, but he still liked the cockiness of it. At the comment of reputation however, Kevin let out a laugh, almost a howl loaded with sarcasm. “Honey,” he smiled, “I appreciate the lack of judgment on your behalf, but if someone’s got a dirty name around here, I’m pretty sure it’s me.” And he wasn’t lying, or didn’t feel like he was. There were many untold things about himself that would qualify him as one with a low rep around the area, if they only knew. “I’m kind of a regular,” he responded to a prior question, bringing his hand to his knee, restlessly bouncing up and down. “Or was. Haven’t been here in a few months, actually.”

Shaylea smiled as Kevin called her honey. Unlike some of the girls that worked there, she enjoyed the pet names. “Are you saying you are a bad influence?” She smiled leaning in and speaking softly. “I have a hard time thinking that someone as angelic looking as you has a bad streak in them.” She teased. Turning, she set her glass back on the bar. “Stopped showing up? One of the girls scare you off or something?” She said right before feeling a hard slap on her ass. Whipping her head around, she started giggling seeing it was one of the girls she shared a dressing room with. “Sorry about Faith.”
