Andy Robertson

Andrew 'Andy' Robertson, long lost twin, complete and utter mess.

“I’m not nearly drunk enough for ridicule, so please, hold your critcism.” Archie had to laugh a little bit. His suit wasn’t even that out-there, but it was bold for Archie, who stayed on the more muted side of things, conscious of his public image. He couldn’t even get ‘drunk enough for ridicule’, not without embarrassing himself. He just wanted to have fun, but instead he felt as though all eyes were on him. And not in the way he normally ate up.

Andy just sort of blinked, wearing a pale blue suit, his blonde hair tied back into a little bun and the blue and silver mask on his face as he stared at Archie. “I wasn’t going to say anything? I think it looks good,” the slight lisp should be a sure fire way of identifying him if Archie didn’t realize who it was in the first place. “I was just - I was just coming to say hi.”

This was quite out of character for Blake, but he was enjoying talking to the other guy and he also did help him out with his wallet. “Starbucks is fine with me” he nodded, before walking along in that direction.

“Alright then, super sugary sweet coffee it is,” Andy liked Starbucks just for that reason. It gave you one hell of a sugar high, or gave him one anyway. “How long have you been in London for because your definitely not from around here are you?”

“No, no.” Mark shook his head, shrugged his shoulders. “I just, I don’t know how to explain it. I feel professional in a sense? I don’t know, I know what I mean.”

“Oh,” Andy smiled, though he didnt really understand it. “I don’t have a wallet, I just stick my card and whatever cash I get for tips in the inside of my jacket so it doesn’t get lost that way.”

Smirking, Archie rose, reaching out to take hold of one of the lapels of Andy’s jacket. “Do you have a preference for store? There’s a department store not too far from here, you won’t freeze on the way there.” He was already giving a little tug to pull Andy towards the door, not wanting him to change his mind. “What are you gonna do if I buy the coat and then give you a cup of coffee anyway, huh?”

Andy wasn’t sure what to make of Archie but then again he hadn’t been sure what to make of Lucky either. “I don’t care, there’s fine, there should be a cheap coat.” He let himself get tugged, sticking close to Archie as they excited the place. “I don’t know, figure out a way to pay you back? Slip money into your pocket by distracting you somehow? I don’t know. I’ll think of something.”

“It’s not as if there is anything in there anyway. All I have is one card and I know that’s still in there.” Mark shrugged his shoulders. “I only carry it around in an attempt to seem more grown up.”

“Oh,” Andy blinked not sure what to take the grown up comment as but he pursed his lips before asking. “Are you one of those kids at heart or something?”

“Eh…” he grunted, thanking Andy for the coffee before taking a sip of it. “I’ve just never been the kind for random, meaningless sex, you know?” He put his jaw on his palm and grunted. “It’s supposed to mean something, I think.”

“Same, I don’t see the point in them. What’s it going to accomplish for you the next day? The satisfaction that you had sex? Woohoo,” Andy wrinkled his nose. He didn’t do the whole one night stand thing himself. “But maybe try one of those dating sites but make sure you’re meeting in a public place with lots of people?”

“I hope so, it’s always good to have a good selection of jokes. You never know when you could need them.” Taemin shrugged and they pulled out their wallet, pulling out the money to play for his order.

“I’ve cracked jokes at awkward moments just to try and make things a little less awkward, but I think I do most of them on the fly to be honest. Mostly I make fun of myself.” Taking the money, Andy made the change for him and set it down along with his receipt.

“Yeah. Fall is usually one of the cheapest, to be honest anything out of term time is considerably cheaper though” he smiled. “Yeah” he nodded, nervously before smiling “Great. Where do you want to go?”.

Andy had been wandering off with strangers a lot over the past week but so far none had hurt him so, Andy liked to believe he had a good sense of character (though he didn’t considering the one person he wandered off with) and Blake wasn’t giving off any danger signals. Just gave off being a little shy maybe? “Hmm, there’s a Starbucks down there or if you don’t like that place, there’s a diner up ahead and to the right. “I’d suggest Infinitea, but I think Verity might be sick of looking at my face for the day.”

“Mmm… Deal.” Archie nodded. “Is that a yes or a no to the coffee?” Was he surprised Andy had caved? Absolutely not. Archie always got what he wanted. That was just how things went.

Andy sucked his bottom lip in between his teeth, biting down gently like he was trying to convince himself this was really happening because this stuff didn’t happen to him. “No, you either get me the coat or the coffee, can’t get me both. So, the coat won just because I think my back would appreciate not feeling like Dr, Freeze hit me with his freeze gun.”

“Yeah” he nodded, he loved talking about it but he didn’t like the thought that others may think he’s being stuck up about how much he’s travelled. “I hope you get to visit somewhere soon. I’d like to offer a discount, but sadly they don’t let me give friends one” he smiled lightly, “But Italy is amazing”. “You look cold, do you want me to buy us a coffee or something? Or we can both head our separate ways if you’re in a rush to get home”.

“Oh no, it’s fine, I wouldn’t expect you to.I keep an eye on airlines and stuff to see how the rates fluctuate, I’ve learned over the last two years that the fall is when rates go down quite a bit. And accommodations are cheaper then too. Especially around wine country.” Looking up fully, he smiled a bit. “That obvious I’m cold huh? Actually a coffee sounds great if you’re up for it. I’ll consider it a thank you for your wallet.”

“Then what is your name, sweet pea?” He pulled his lower lip in, breaking into a smirk. “Mine’s Archie.” He stopped propping himself on his elbows long enough to extend a hand to Andy. “Can’t a guy just want to do a good deed? I promise there’s nothing in it for me other than getting to see you smile some more.”

“Name’s Andy,” looking to the other’s hand, he took it and gave it a shake. “Nice to meet you Archie.” Pulling his hand back slowly, Andy thought it over. Okay, a new coat was honestly a nice thought and would he mind spending more time with the person across from him? No. “Fine, but it can’t be more than forty pounds total in money. Deal?”

[andyxrobertson]

blakeoscarcrawford:

“It pays the bills, and I get a few free holidays out of it” he smiled, before nodding. “I’d love that, I’m always looking for new places to visit”.

“Yeah? You get discounts then too on traveling?” Shoving his hands into his pockets to try and keep warmer, Andy gave a little shiver. “Never been out of England. Someday I’d like to go visit Italy but that’s just a dream I’ve had since I was a kid.”

“Sugar.” He didn’t know this guy’s name, so that would have to work. His lower lip popped out, pout growing on his face, tugging gently on Andy’s sleeve. “I really want to do this for you, just let me. It’ll be like, a late Christmas present. I’ll buy you a coffee, too, if that’s what you want.”

Oh. Well damn. He wasn’t expecting Archie to actually pout at him and it made the one corner of his mouth twitch upwards into a half smile before he grew serious again. Andy didn’t think  a pout would work, boy was he wrong. “Why? Why would you buy some stranger you just met, a coat? As a Christmas present. You don’t even know m’name”

[andyxrobertson]

blakeoscarcrawford:

“Ah, that’s pretty cool. I work from home mainly, as I’m a Tourism consultant for a few firms. It’s why I like to do some of my work in coffee shops, so I don’t become completely introverted in my house”.

“That sounds fancy,” Andy smiled and then gave a slight tilt of his head. “You should bring them into Infintea sometime, Verity prides herself in having one of the best true English tea shops around this area. I’ll even hook you up with a cup.”

[andyxrobertson]

 Archie had no idea how that was. None at all. “Hey, I’ll tell you what, sugar.” He leaned across the table. “You should let me buy you a coat. Like, a nice one. Hell, you can get a marshmallow one, if you want one.” It’s not like he didn’t have the money for this, and hey, the fact that Andy was good looking didn’t hurt this either. “Don’t make me beg you, huh? I can manage a pretty cute pout.”

Andy just sort of stared at Archie, wondering what his angle was. No one did something like that for nothing. “I’m fine, I’ve survived a year so far with this jacket, I’m sure I can survive the rest of this one. I can’t let you do that, sorry.” Looking over Archie’s face again, he took a deep breath. “Don’t pout, I’ll let you buy me something else instead. Like how about a cup of coffee?”

blakeoscarcrawford:

“Ah, that’s cool” he smiled, “It must be a pretty nice environment to work in”.

“It’s actually really nice. Plus it always smells awesome in there. Especially when the special of the day is the Marsala Chai. Where do you work?”
