two of alicia’s favorite things are drumming and drinking coffee, so when she gets the chance to combine the two, it’s a very blissful encounter. fortunately for her, she’s found a way to do so, finding a little hole-in-the-wall cafe which clears by the time the sun sets around 8. she orders a coffee from the otherwise bored barista, and practices with her sticks on whichever table she chooses on the given day. of course, her bliss can’t last forever, and that’s proven when she sees the familiar face enter, accompanied by the chime of the doorbell. “ hey, ” she gives the other a small, awkward smile. “ i didn’t know people came here. ”
“ for a second there i thought you were going to give me shit for doing something. but hey — looks like you do have a sweet side sometimes. ” there’s a small grin spread across his features, however it’s quick to disappear. “ a forever home until he or me pass away, right ? ”
“ don’t even SAY that. if you happen to tragically lose your life before your animals, i’ll take them in -- un-unless we BOTH are dead. but i’d really like to create a foundation or something to keep strays off the streets before i die. ” just the thought manages to lighten the situation in alicia’s eyes, bringing a smile to her face. “ let me know the next time you go to a shelter, though. seeing you do something with yourself would definitely be a sight. ”
HIS SONGS are always good though ?? plus, you can add artists like asap rocky, kanye, rihanna, drake & beyonce on that list as well, if i’m honest.
“ i mean. i guess it depends what you mean by GOOD. good chord progression, yes, but werk werk werk werk werk never really brought a tear to my eye. doesn’t even hold a candle to the perfection that is formation. ”
‘ i mean, i’m never gonna intellectualize it or anything, but sometimes mindless club music is about as good as it gets—— i always need a good soundtrack for the nights i get blitzed. ’
“ i see your point. i wouldn’t really want to listen to something too political while destroying my liver. the world is pretty disappointing, so it’s kind of a buzzkill. ”
“ so i had some fans come up to me the other day & they were like ‘ cerin ! you never do any like volunteer work or anything nice for people ’. & in my head i listed off things i’ve done already, like free meet & greats, a handful of super cheap concerts, & even a little get together for people who wanted to spend the day with me. BUT since i don’t ‘ do enough ’ i ended up volunteering at the pet shelter & let me tell you right now: that was a mistake. i know own yet another dog & i might be going back for a cat. ”
“ wow. you’re so GIVING. ” she didn’t have much sympathy, considering her charity work was incredibly extensive since her band got signed. “ but that’s good you’re adopting shelter animals. just think that you’re saving a little life and giving it a good forever home. ”
‘don’t seem like you’re dropping five packs a day, either, so maybe that health class did you some good,’ he remarks, pausing to give the girl a once over. ‘…then again, you seem like the type to let a few words in some book whip you into shape– maybe catholic school. this near eighty degree weather must be EXACTLY what you’re looking for.’
“ PLEASE. i could never go to catholic school, so sorry if you had a little sexist fantasy going on. and books don’t really influence me. facts do. and i’m not really talking temperature, more like an amount of bodies. ” she paused, realizing that didn’t make all that much sense. “ well, i’m staying out here. ”
“ AH — ” cerin had somehow managed to pull off his disdain for the other’s singing as a simple shrug, but that was the only time he was going to attempt to be nice. “ you know, i’ve never heard of it & with you sining it i don’t think i ever want to hear it. —- so maybe you could just.. be a little more quiet ? or stop singing all together ? y’know it’s just a suggestion. ”
“ i’m gonna do what i damn well PLEASE, thank you very much. but lucky for YOU, that doesn’t include singing. ” she knows she’s a terrible singer, but she’s not going to make it look like a man swayed her decision to stop.
‘ —— well, i don’t know what effect it had on your life, but i don’t fuck with you made a BIG difference to me. ’
“ to be fair, big sean has made some pretty good sounding songs. not something i’d listen to outside of the club, though. -- but i’m not trying to dictate your music taste or anything. ”
‘the surgeon general’s always going off about how bad for you these things are, but i think if my official title was the surgeon general, i’d be pissed at everything, too. need a light, or are you just enjoying the FRESH, smoke-filled LA air?’
“ i’ve never even HEARD of a surgeon general, which shows how much the american educational system is failing us. ” the girl shrugged, leaning up against the wall behind her. “ you can do what you want with your body, i’m just out here to get some air. it’s too hot inside. ”
‘ woah, you go girl. titties are awesome, they should be all out, every inch of ‘em whenever we feel like it. ’
“ they really are. i wanna be able to show off the girls whenever i feel like it. it’s not even really accepted to not wear a bra every day, which is sad. i mean, i’m gonna do it anyway, but still. ”
“ as much as i’m pro ‘make music to make a difference’, i’m REALLY diggin’ big sean’s new song. ” and as if to prove it to the other, she starts to SING (and trust me, there’s a REASON she’s on drums). “ last night took an l but tonight i bounce back. ”
‘ i’ve been told 2017 is the year of freedom in expressing ourselves through our bodies. then why do i still get yelled at for an accidental nip slip ? let them be free. ’
╚ ♚ ————— honey dipped hues float around the room , eyeing the various amounts of random faces that pass him by. the pain in his head barely subsides as he takes a sip of the steaming hot beverage, but he enjoys it NONETHELESS. things have been hectic the past few days. & the bleach blonde didn’t quite deal with hectic too well. instead, he’d bury his head in something else. like an interesting book, one that kept his attention & had him on the balls of his feet ready for more. or throwing himself at more work keeping himself busy. or maybe even the P R E S E N C E of a beautiful girl ; whichever poison he picked, it all had it’s reasoning. A DISTRACTION. which led him to be where he is now, a coffee shop that’s rarely ever BUSY. just the way he preferred. ❛ see you at the same tomorrow, blondie. ❜ one of the female cashiers tease, & he throws a charming smile her direction. walking out of the door, & hearing the chime that followed, he started to make his way down the sidewalk. that was until he got a text message ; ‘ jason, we really need to t — ’ was all he was able to see before he had collided into someone else. & he quickly rushed to their aid, ignoring the fact that his coffee had spilled all over his white t-shirt, drenching it & burning him a bit in the process. ❛ FUCK , are you alright ? ❜ he questions, quickly slipping the phone in to his back pocket & helping the person to their feet.
admittedly, she’s not really paying attention to where she’s going, too busy listening to some song, air drumming away, when all of a sudden the brunette smashes into something -- well, someONE. immediately ripping her earbuds out after collapsing to the concrete, her expression changes to one of concern. “ no, i -- shit -- i should’ve -- christ, i wasn’t watching where i was going. totally my fault. ” upon standing her hues fall to his sopping wet shirt, becoming see through and clinging to his chest. “ oh my god was that HOT coffee ?? ” she’s heard stories of how people have SUED mcdonalds for coffee being too hot and getting third degree burns after a spill (alicia doesn’t think she has a lawsuit on her hands, but some burns on someone else’s body on her behalf would be just as bad in her mind), so she’s scrambling to find SOMETHING to fix it. “ --- look, there’s a little shop across the street, let me buy you a new shirt or something. ”
ayyy lmao i’m tati, but amy calls me titty so i guess u guys can too uh this is my feminist babe alicia, don’t have a full bio yet bc i suck but some bullets are under the cut if u wanna plot w her or whateva
she grew up in brazil, moved to the states when she was 6 and spanish is her first language
even when her family did move here her life wasn’t great like she lived in a shitty apartment in a shitty neighborhood
when her parents salvaged enough money to get her to go to private school, the school made you pick an instrument to learn how to play but instead of the recorder or some bullshit she learned percussion (read as drums)
ever since she’s been in luv w drumming, posted cute lil videos on her facebook or whatever, formed a band, and now here she is!! dreamin, shreddin, rockin
bUt she always had strong opinions, had to learn how to stand her ground and stand up for shit she believed in @ a young age bc she had 3 older brothers rip
sO the first thing she’s using fame for is to make sure her family lives comfortably like forever aw but she is also using it to make a damn difference
feminist, blm advocate, lgbt activist, vegetarian (she’d love to be vegan but loves eggs lol), trying to become a role model for little girls (and boys) bc she didn’t have that strong female role model growing up
bc she loves body positivity, she’s one of those “i can do what i want w my body look @ my nip nops” kinda girls and she also likes to sleep w ppl? (male and female and nb she just likes ~people~ my lil pan princess) and when it’s brought up she’s like “uh my sex life aint nunya business” sO she can be perceived as a hoe
