he blinked a few times when the other asked how he was doing. “ last time ?? umm–– fine, i guess. break ups happen, and i focused on work, which might be a bit bad for focusing too much on work, but i’m doing well, ” he chuckled. “ but yes, the steaks, let’s grill some !! ”

[beauxgoldstein]

“Oh. You were dealing with a break up?” He asked, leaning in. He didn’t want to assume, because it could’ve been anything. “I’m sorry, but I’m glad you’re doing well. You don’t have to talk about it, if you don’t want to.” He smiled, reassuringly. “Alright. Just let me know when you’re coming over and I’ll get everything ready.”

“It’s something they do every once in a while to mix things up. I’ve never been asked to go, since I mostly do freelance work anyway. I’ll seasonally stay on the Tribune to do the entertainment column, but it works out. What about you? How’s work been treating you?” Noah asked.

“Fair point, hah! I used to be real traditionalist, but then, I dunno. I guess over the year I’ve let that go, and I’m more comfortable doin’ my own thing. Last year was good to me, and this year’s startin’ off right so far. I finally asked Nevada out.”

[beauxgoldstein]

“Well, I’m taking some time off, right now.” Winters were always a slow time for the handyman. Sure he’d fix a heater or two, and do a few random repair jobs, but it wasn’t as busy as summer or other seasons. Beau was used to it, however, so he took winters off, as he called it.

“That’s nice. Do you have family close by?” He nodded, happy for the other guy. “That’s good to know. My year was good, too, I suppose.” He wasn’t too sure, but hey, he’d made it out alive, so it wasn’t a horrible year. “You have a date?” He asked smiling.

[donovanbros]

aaron nodded. “ that sounds good to me. i don’t have much going on. just working most weekends, and a couple days during the week, ” aaron responded. “ honestly next week works for me. ” aaron said, looking at the other man.

[beauxgoldstein]

“Great. So what do you want to do? We can just hang out, grill some steaks, and watch a good movie, but I’m up for anything.” He mentioned, smiling for a moment. “So, hey. Are you doing better than last time?”

[n-whitman-deactivated20190223]

“It’s fun! I’m an entertainment columnist for the Chicago Tribune, so the papers swapped out their entertainment guys. So the guy they had in Seattle came out here, and I went out there. They wanted fresh perspectives on their same old favorites,” he said with a big, dimpled smile. “That’s good, though! That you got to spend time with your loved ones. It’s been a while since I’ve had a normal Christmas. I usually keep busy, but it ain’t a bad thing,” the southerner said.

[beauxgoldstein]

Beau nodded, listening to the man speak about his job. It seemed really excited to talk about it. Maybe he really enjoyed his job, which was always nice to see. “Nice! Do they do that often?” He was curious. “Yeah. I mean, I see my family a lot, but I don’t see my best friend that often. She lives in Las Vegas, but we had a good time.” He told the other. “Oh, what’s a normal Christmas, anyway?” He chuckled, knowing that despite being with loved ones, it was still anything but normal at his home, but every family had their thing.

[n-whitman-deactivated20190223]

“Sorry I didn’t say anything before leavin’. It kinda happened real fast. I got an opportunity to guest write for the Washington Post, and I couldn’t pass it up, so I was out over the holidays. I haven’t been real big on Christmas for the past couple of years anyway. Nothin’ bad, I just…” Noah shrugged and smiled. “It ain’t a big deal for me anymore, I guess. How was your holiday? Do anything fun?”

[beauxgoldstein]

“How was it? Guest writing for the Washington Post?” He was rather interested. “My holidays were good. I got see my best friend and I spend most of it with my family. Nothing too exciting, but it was still a nice time. Thanks for asking.”

“Thanks. I’ll think about it.” Beau let out with a soft chuckle. “You got any plans for the rest of this week?” It’d been a while since he’d seen Aaron around here, so it was nice to see him again. Beau was pretty busy with work so he didn’t get out much. 

    aaron  grinned.   when  another  shot  glass  was  placed  in  front  of  him,  he  grabbed  it  and  took  the  entire  content  and  swallowed  it.   “  nothing,  other  than  drinking.   well  at  least  tonight.   i  might  possibly  go  do  christmas  shopping,  but  still  making  plans.  why,  want  to  hang  out ??  ”

[beauxgoldstein]

“Yeah, we should hang out sometime. I mean, whenever you got time.” He told his friend. “Come over and we’ll figure out something fun to do.” Beau said as he thought of something they could both do. “I should be free the next two weeks.” He smiled. 

[donovanbros]

       aaron  was  having  a  good  time  that  night,  drinking  what  was  probably  his  fourth  pint  of  the  night.   it  was  great  to  just  have  the  week  off,  and  not  have  to  worry  about  nobody  and  their  problems.    when  he  heard  his  name  being  called  out,   aaron  turned  to  look  at  the  guy  that  spoke  to  him.   “   i’m  off  for  the  rest  of  the  week,  some  see  me  christmas  eve  if  you  want  booze  from  me,  ”   aaron  said.

[beauxgoldstein]

“Thanks. I’ll think about it.” Beau let out with a soft chuckle. “You got any plans for the rest of this week?” It’d been a while since he’d seen Aaron around here, so it was nice to see him again. Beau was pretty busy with work so he didn’t get out much.

Damn this guy was gorgeous. “Spot me.” He motioned to the weights behind him. “Twenty minutes, tops.” He added.

[beauxgoldstein]

“Sure thing. I haven’t seen you around here before. Are you new?” Beau was curious.

[justdawscn-blog]

Dawson had been baking for about an hour now waiting for his chocolate filled croissants to be done as he had put a lot of time into them. He had been talking to the other for a short while, and excused himself to take them out and let them cool. “Don’t be afraid to try one, its not like youre going to lose your your figure over one pastry.” he teased the other nudging their shoulder. 

[beauxgoldstein]

“They look so nice. I’m always afraid to ruin.” He chuckled. “Where did you learn to make these?” 

[thealexavierroa]

“Hey dude, I need some help over here. You’re not busy are ya?” Alexavier was pulling something up on his phone as he waited for the other’s attention. 

[beauxgoldstein]

Beau approached. “Sup dude. Nah, I’m free. What do you need?” He asked, waiting for the man to look up. 

[finnickcarneymusic]

“Well that all depends, what kind of comics do you like? “ He asked Dante loved helping people find the right books and stuff for everyone. “I personally love the lovecraft comics, the art is amazing,”

[beauxgoldstein]

Beau turned to the male, letting out a soft chuckle as he rubbed his shoulder. “Oh, I don’t know much about comics.” He admitted, smiling. “What are the lovecraft comics about?”

[johnmts]

Interviews weren’t a hard thing to a journalist to do, Erick had done worst things in his career, now it was just a normal interview. “Thanks again for doing this. I’m sure that the magazine will be happy to have this material.” Erick kept a very friendly grin to his face. “And, don’t worry about formality ok? I’m a cool journalist so we can just do this like a normal conversation if that’s ok to you!“

[beauxgoldstein]

The handyman nodded, attempting to keep his confusion hidden. He was happy to do any kind of interview. Perhaps it was just the fact that he didn’t know how to say no, but he also enjoyed being helpful when he was needed. So he shot Erick a smile. “Okay. I’m ready. But first, may I ask what this interview is for again?” 

[finnickcarneymusic]

“Thanks,” Dante smiled as he got up and nodded and pointed to the back of the shop. “I dont have any Marvel or Dc, I carry Darkhorse and Indie stuff,” he told the man.

[beauxgoldstein]

“Oh.” He smiled, looking towards the back of the shop. Truthfully, he didn’t know much about comics. He was looking for a gift for someone who did. So he wouldn’t know much either way. “Okay, what would you recommend. It’s for a gift.” 

[finnickcarneymusic]

Dante finished up cleaning up the shop before flipping the shop sign to open, he gave  Growley a quick pet before he heard a ring, “Hello! Welcome,” he said with a big smile.

[beauxgoldstein]

Beau smiled as well. “Hi. Cute dog.” He commented before walking further into the shop. “Do you have comics?”

Beau knocked on Ellis’ door. This was his last stop of the day before he got to go home. He was here to repair an appliance for the man. He offered a welcoming smile as the man opened the door. “Evening.” He said, extending his arm for a shake. “I’m Beau. I’m here about…” He lifted his clipboard to read the notes “the heater.” He looked up and smiled again. 

[randys-w]

Ellis shook the guy’s hand. “Evening, mate. I’m Ellis. Come on it. Thanks for coming over so late.” He said, looking up the muscular blonde haired man. “You got your clipboard and everything.” He commented with a chuckle as he led the guy to the laundry room. “

[beauxgoldstein]

“Yup, the official handyman’s clipboard.” Beau wasn’t sure, if the other was teasing, but he chuckled anyway. “And it’s no problem.” He smiled. “Do you work late?” He asked casually, following. He didn’t want to seem nosey but hopefully keep the flow of conversation going. Beau always liked when he had some company during his jobs.
