              “..isn’t a bad sign for him to busy all of the time..? it feels like–”           — Hearing the sound of Luca’s lighter made Meno pause in the middle of her almost venting, a groan left her lips once she realized what she was doing. “..Sorry Luca, I’ll stop.. I know you’re bored to death over my poor life choices..” She pouted a little, mainly at the cigarette between his lips.“..H-Hey I told you smoking is bad! one person with bad choices is enough for the night.” 

           luca paid no attention to her pleading and took a long drag from his cigarette. he was no smoker but the cooling sensation was something he missed from time to time. it relaxed him in times of stress. he blew smoke away from meno; sometimes he blew smoke at her for a laugh but now was not one of those playful times.

           he returned to their conversation with a stern expression. one of genuine tough love with a hint of jealousy. “look-- if you're really worried about him then why are you talking to me instead of him about it?”

“thank you so much.” she whispered as she felt his hoodie cover her cold arms. as she walked up to the bike.·“i’m skyla, by the way.” she smiled as she buckled his helmet over her head.·“i don’t think i’ve ever formally introduced myself to you. i’m not very close with any of the neighbors.”

luca intoduced himself while he mirrored her actions, save for putting on a jacket. “me neither,” he admitted, “though i've seen you around sometimes.” he got on his bike, unmounted it, and fired up the engine. he tried to steady the bike as he waited for skyla to hop on the back. “not the best circumstance to meet someone but nice to meet you anyway.”

It turned out despite her parents many efforts to ready her for the real world that she hadn’t any real life aspirations. She was a secretary/personal assistant by day and dancer by night. It kept her afloat and that was really all she cared about. Working for Harvey always meant late night and shifty errands but she had a certain thrill from it. She was not to leave until he did, after all. What if he needed something? “Mr. Stein it’s getting awfully late.” Cecily adds with a smile as she walks toward his sitting place. “Can I call you a car?”

“no, thank you,” harvey replied with a shook of his head. his gaze briefly followed cecily as she strutted across the room. he sat back and neatly straightened his crisp white shirt and tie as she approached. this invasion of privacy was unexpected and somewhat unwelcomed, though he understood because she was quite new to the the job and the company. he shuffled through the neatly piled folders marked 'for signature' on his desk, opened the one on top, and carefully read through one of files in them in an attempt to distance himself from conversation. somehow, though without her fault, her presence was quite loud for harvey. he glanced up, brows furrowed, at her after a moment of reading the same sentence twice. “ms. silicide, you're under no obligation to wait on me after office hours,” he made clear, hoping to rid himself of any guilt if that were the case.

“oh,” of course the one time she was bold enough to ask, she was turned down. was he only offering for her to come because he felt obligated? or would he really not mind. “no, no. it’s fine.” she smiled before turning back to her house and seeing the man’s bright red pick-up truck. “i change my mind. food sounds amazing.” 

luca was unable to suppress a smile from forming on his lips. a bit of company was a nice surprise. “here, take this,” he offered his red hoodie and helmet to skyla, remembering how she said she felt cold. he quickly grabbed his spare helmet from their coat rack but unfortunately he'll have to brave the weather tonight as his other jackets were in his room. he locked the front door behind him and motioned to the motorcycle parked on the street. “after you--”

OPEN: to all CONNECTIONS: friends (someone he might have harbored secret feelings for long ago)

"yep-- uhuh--" luca nonchalantly muttered filler words as he lit his cigarette. his friend was sharing their relationship troubles yet again for the how many-eth time this week. he was honestly over it at this point, just waiting for his friend to notice.

“hi.” skyla smiled as she knocked on her neighbor’s door. “i’m skyla, i live next door.” she explained with a nervous laugh. “um, my mom invited a guy over so she said i can’t be there.” she added. “none of my friends are picking up and it’s kind of cold outside. do you think i can just..hang out in your living room?”

luca was making his way out of the house, carrying his helmet and everything, when as luck would have it, his neighbor knocked on their door right as he opened it. a bit shy and flustered after the initial shock, he listened encouragingly as she explained her situation. "it would be no problem but---" he was sheepish as he showed her his helmet for her to get the message "i was gonna head out..." he averted his gaze as he cleared his throat. "unless... you wanna come?" he offered awkwardly, "i was gonna look for something to eat."

OPEN: to all POSSIBLE CONNECTION: secretary, colleague, visiting friend, girlfriend/wife coming to pick him up???

harvey was sat behind his solid mahogany office table, staring blankly at the open city skyline beyond his glass windows. the rest of the office floor was dark and nearly empty; harvey was almost always the first to arrive and the last to leave their company headquarters. that tall skyscraper which housed stein medical industries was already his home but in the four corners of his office at that moment, harvey's thoughts were far away. brooding, most likely, at how the day went.

his quiet instrospection was interrupted by a soft knock on his already open door. he cleared his throat before glancing at his watch. he was a bit surprised that he had a visitor at that time of the night. "come in--"

Perfectly Platonic Starters

“You look like you could use a coffee.”

“Is that something you want to talk about?”

“Come on, sit down. It’s break time.”

“I needed that, thanks…”

“Here’s a blanket. You looked cold.”

“Thank god you’re back, I need to rant.”

“Is my sweater ever going to be returned?”

“Bad day? Emergency plans are in order.”

“Alright your ride has arrived, where to next?”

“I’m brushing your hair, it’s a mess.”

“You happened to go get lunch and ‘bought too much’ huh?”

“Your hugs are the best.”

“Hey. Hey. Heeeeeey. Come on. We’re gonna be late, get up.”

“I’m late, yes. You should be used to that by now.”

“How long as it been that we’ve known each other? Feels like ages.”

“There was something on your face, I had to get it off.”

“You’re sure people think we’re dating?”

“I think it’s hilarious people assume they’re dating just because they’re nice to each other.”

“I need to hang out with someone I like, can we pretend to be working for an hour?”

“Tea and coffee? What happened?”

“Here you go, one forgotten, left it at home in a rush, lost item!”

“I’m going for a walk, you want anything?”

“… sorry I took a nap on you.”

“I suppose I am now requisitioned to being a napping spot.”

“We could pretend we’re dating, but that might confuse your significant other, and then that might be a waste of petty effort for the sake of rumors.”

“I got to give a little girl and her family good news today.” The doctor said before taking a sip of her tea, a very happy smile on her face. “I like when I can give good news, send a patient home with the hopes that they won’t be back for a very long time.”

The young nurse smiled and shook his head in agreement. “--kinda what we're all hoping for,” he remarked, “it's what makes this job a bit easier, right?” He sat against the countertop of their small pantry, in the middle of his third and hopefully last cup of coffee for the day. “You did good today, doc.”

          she couldn’t keep herself from  staring  .  light emerald hues  locked  on the male in front of her  ,  brows raised inquisitively  .  she had known that isabella’s brother was coming  ,  sure  ,  she’d told her when she asked her to stay with them for the summer  .  however  ,  she could have  sworn  that he was coming  tomorrow  .  that she would be showered and prepared to meet her newest best friends brother  .  right now  ?  she was anything  but  prepared  .  plus  ,  she had no idea that he would look like an american apparel  model  .  “  i ,  uh -  i’m is’s friend .  your family invited me to stay for the summer ,  i -  sorry …  if i woke you .  i was just looking for something to eat .  ”  her words are quick  ,  powered by nervousness as she shifts on her heels  ,  fiddling with the bowl between her hands  .

it was quite an awkward sight, two young strangers meeting each other for the first time and at such an unexpected circumstance. he squinted his eyes at her and tried to recall any semblance of who she was but managed only to remember a short 'by the way' from his sister regarding a house guest. his eyes widened and a surprised “OH!” left his lips. he didn't know his annoying sister could manage to befriend such a breath-taking girl. he smiled sheepishly at his error. “it's okay, i wasn't asleep,” he mentioned as he stepped closer to set his glass down on the island between them. “i'm sorry i don't remember your name --”
