YOUNG & MENACE

[apcthecses-blog]

starter for @ninjcs !

this is where he belongs: bass thumping, drink in hand, the angles of his face illuminated only by flashing neon lights. usually, he’d be in the middle of the dance floor, embracing the grind of bodies against him, enjoying the intimacy shared with nameless strangers. tonight, he stands on the sidelines, gaze caught on a not-quite stranger. she is all blonde hair and red lips and alek wants wants wants so badly to close the distance between them. they had been inseparable, once upon a time, but now he feels like icarus on his wax wings; he wants to get closer but daedalus’ warning rings in his ear still –– fly too close to the sun and he will get burnt. he knocks back the rest of the drink he’s holding, and it burns all the way down his throat but it is the liquid courage he needs. the sea of people part for him as he cuts across the dance floor, and he feels a little bit like a man walking to the gallows but when she looks at him he’s never felt more alive. ‘ ninja, ’ he says, voice pitched low despite the loud music, hovering on the edge of her orbit, waiting for permission to fall into her gravity. ‘ didn’t think i’d see you here. ’

      harley had some time to kill before a meeting at the high point, and so here they were—dicking around in vanessa’s in the section reserved for b-side artists. grabbing an album from the display in front of them, they turned to the person standing closest by. “say you’re an artist, right?” asked harley, raised voice causing some heads to turn. “and someone comes to you with a concept for their new album cover, and you give them this crazy original design with, like, dragons and ping pong balls and everything, and they tell you, ‘thanks a lot and all, but we’ve decided to go with this.’” they held out the album with both hands: behold, an all-black cover with two teensy-tiny white initials in the corner. “what do you say back?” 

[apcthecses-blog]

‘ that depends. ’ his attention is drawn towards the familiar voice, and he walks over to pluck the album from their hands, seemingly appraising its design. ‘ in this hypothetical, do i have any talent at all or do i retain my current artistic abilities? because if it’s the latter, i’d probably tell him wise choice. ’ grinning, he places the album back, picking up another one nearby that was simply just half black and half white. truth be told, he had nothing against these minimalistic designs –– he’d be a hypocrite if he did, considering he’s just as likely to put out an album with a similar design on the cover. ‘ but if i could draw half as well as you could, well... maybe fuck you very much and then sell the design to someone more fun. like me. except i’d probably use that for a video game, maybe. ’

a-bit-grosser:

Leonie should have been working on job hunting but after being fired from just one too many shitty minimum wage jobs for daring to call in sick when she was having serious breathing issues was starting to make the process of starting that cycle all over again not something she really wanted to do. So instead she had headed into campus territory and plopped herself down in a coffee shop, slumped in a comfy chair with a latte, her feet up on an ottoman and scrolling through Twitter, when she saw a familiar face, sitting upright and waving to get their attention

it’s not that alek is strapped for cash or anything of the sort, but he’s unwilling to pay an exorbitant amount of money for shitty coffee. the solution? coffee shops near universities –– the coffee’s still shitty, but it’s at least worth it’s price. it’s a small miracle that he spots leonie, and once he gets her attention, grabs his drink and leaves his table to join her. ‘ don’t look now, but the tinder date i ghosted is right there. she asked if she could sit with me but i said i was meeting a friend, which is where you come in, ’ he says as he drops into the chair across from her. ‘ i’ll buy you an extra latte for putting up with me. ’

[carboninc-blog1]

— “look. all i’m saying…” she took a slurp from her ever-present coffee cup, falling into an oversized and overstuffed chair. there was a notebook tucked under her arm, pen tucked behind her ear: clear signs on what she was supposed to be doing at present, yet all too happy to procrastinate a little while longer. "is technically… it’s not actually illegal to have a cat here.” her brows lifted and a grin quirked across her mouth. “think about it! he could have a witty, yet fun and relevant name! he could just roam all the levels. he’d be all our cat — not just, ya know. one person.” lennie paused before nodding once, mission seemingly decided. “i think we should do it.”

[apcthecses-blog]

‘ you lost me at it’s not actually illegal, ’ he says, settling on the arm of the chair she’s just sprawled onto. he’s definitely ignoring all concepts of personal space as he leans in to grab her notebook and pluck the pen out from behind her ear, but he figures she’ll just shove him off the chair sooner or later and deems it an acceptable risk. ‘ admit it, you just want a cat but you don’t want to have full responsibility. i’m onto you, len. ’ flipping through the little notebook he’d acquired, he finds the first blank page and begins doodling a little cat –– or, well, attempts to do so with his meagre artistic abilities anyway. it may look like a four year old child’s drawing, but at least it somewhat resembles a cat, and he tilts the notebook towards his bandmate once he’s done. ‘ there. now you’ve got a kitty. ’

allegra’s car is full of some weird shit. any time there is something faulty at work, people attempt to throw it away, yet if allegra is working when it happens, it ends up in her backseat instead. wasting art supplies is not something she’ll let happen on her watch, even if the googly eye has two pupils or the gel pen doesn’t sparkle as much as it should. she walks into the second floor with two plastic bags in one hand and a canvas in the other, plopping them down on the table before looking around the room, her eyes landing on someone sitting alone in the corner. “hey,” she says, friendly smile on her face. “i’ve got a bunch of extra art supplies lying around, and i think i’m gonna turn this into, like, a huge collaborative piece for the next exhibit we do. you wanna help out?”

[apcthecses-blog]

he looks up at the sound of a familiar voice, raising a sceptical eyebrow over the screen of his phone as his fingers still from their previously furious typing. ‘ allegra. allie. babe. sweetheart. light of my life. ’ grip easing on the phone, it falls onto his chest before sliding down into his lap as he sits up so he can regard his oldest friend with his most unimpressed look. ‘ you know that i am absolutely terrible at any sorts of arts and craft. ’ still–– allegra is not the kind of person one can easily say no to, and alek is no exception to that rule, even if over the years he’s at least learned how to delay the inevitable giving in. ‘ but if you tell me what you need me to do, i think i can handle that. ’
