tony  warily  looked  over  at  eli  &  raised  his  eyebrows .     they  knew  each  other  too  much  to  know  when  something  was  up .     he  did  know    something    but  he  wasn’t  too  sure  if  he  should  tell .     it  wasn’t   BIG   news  but  there  has  been  some  gossip  going  on  around  town .     when  you  work  at  a     favorite  hot  spot ,     you  get  to  hear  all  the  juicy  stories    floating  in  &  out  of  people’s  minds  .              “      well    …      ”              he  started .     tony  took    a  deep  breath    before  grinning  widely  &  shifting  his  position  to  fully  face  his  friend .              “      okay ,  listen ,  you  know  that  new  guy    –    what’s  his  name ?    –    that  croft  guy ,  the  journalist .     apparently ,  he’s  here  doing  a  little  expose  on  our  little  town .     some  people  have  said  that  he’s  up  to  no  good  but  it’s  all  just  speculation  right  now .     i’ve  got  some  people  looking  more  into  his  background ,  ya  know  like  actually  seeing  if  he’s  an  actual  journalist  &  all  that  crap .      ”

impatience pulsating through his veins, eli pulled up a chair from the seating area and perched himself there, as his foot tapped away. as soon as the commanding word slipped from between tony’s lips, the brunette clasped his palms together and began to rub them together as if he was a maniacal wizard or something of the like. leaning forward, edging closer to the other, eli listened attentively, his expression morphing with every twist and turn that the story had. ‘  i think i’ve heard the name, never seen him though,  ’ came the admission as he furrowed his brow in deep thought, ‘  shit. what kind of expose? who the fuck cares about a town created by goddamn disney?  ’ he scoffed, shaking his head as it was evident he had forgotten about the suspicious occurrences in somewhere he had considered home, and a safe place, for two years now. as he waited to hear more, he leant back on his chair casually and folded his arms, his visage now returning to a reflective frown.

sofia was pretty peeved that of all the people making her sundae, the most annoying little boy had to be the one to make it. his optimistic & sunshiney attitude did not work well with her more icy attitude. she wouldn’t usually make a big deal at a restaurant, because it was in public after all. but something about eli just didn’t sit right with her. their mutual dislike of each other was apparent to anyone observing their conversation. ’ i was talking about how long the sundae took but you can lay off the compliments as well. i know i’m beautiful. ’

her anger was hardly hidden and as much as eli kept his gaze locked on hers, he could still see the other patrons and staff observing the situation and judging the both of them. his brows arched and furrowed at her scathing comment, before his expression scrunched into a frown. ‘  we’re busy. don’t come during peak hours if you can’t handle waiting and having a little patience,  ’ he spat, humming with fury evident. the arrogance displayed in her further comment evoked an eye roll from eli. ‘  oh, jesus. be a bit more humble. pride is a pretty ugly look on someone like you.  ’

tyson’s eyes followed elijah as he made his way onto the couch, smile etched upon his face. after a long day at work, he was glad he was finally able to settle down with his favorite person in the world. “ of course, babe. whatever movie you wanna watch…  but you can talk about your day, y’know? i mean, if you want to, ” he spoke, his arm wrapping around the other boy. “ i do know, but i don’t think it compares to how much i miss you at work, ” tyson teased, hands ruffling eli’s hair a bit.

‘  i know that, baby. i just feel like i’d bore you if i told you because it really isn’t that exciting— but if you really want to know, we were just crazy busy and i think at one point i was making like five sundaes at once. it was insane. at least the paycheck will be worth it this month,  ’ he explained, a nonchalant shrug following as he adjusted his gaze directly into the others chestnut hues, a coy grin on his lips. when the others’ limb pulled him tight, a chill sent down his spine much like the moment they first met, as he wrapped his arm around the other and interlaced their digits together. ‘  aw, stop it!  ’ he cooed, resting his head back on the others’ shoulder again. ‘  let’s pick a movie anyway. anything you’ve been craving to watch recently?  ’

‘  tony, c’mon. you’ve got that look in your eyes. you can’t hide it from me. tell brother eli what’s on your mind?  ’ the male interrogated, arching his eyebrows at the male. they were so attached at the hip that nothing was taboo now. ‘  spill the tea.  ’

‘  y’know, i never really thought about this until today but we have a really odd friendship. i literally met you in the ER and you’re twelve years my senior. although, i wouldn’t have it any other way. you’re like pearl of wisdom to me, even though i bet you’ll say you don’t consider yourself that way,  ’ the brunette boy chuckled, patting his friend on the shoulder.

a red and a green plastic bowl, both filled to the brim with popcorn, were placed on the makeshift coffee table before eli launched himself at the couch. as he settled and got comfy, his head turned towards his boyfriend, puppy dog eyes in tact with a simple request,  ‘  movie night? i need to goddamn relax because today was crazy.  ’  inching closer, his head was soon rested upon the others’ shoulder as he pecked a small kiss on his cheek. ‘  i do miss you when i’m at work, y’know?  ’

a bemused grin remained daintily pulled across the glossed curves of hannah’s lips,  her eyebrows forming smooth arches that wrinkled her forehead as he fumbled around momentarily for a piece of paper before she realized what he was doing.  “oh,  that’s sweet!  you don’t have to do that.”  as much kindness as she may have projected into the world,  she always seemed to at least put an initial rejection on that returned.  “thanks.  my sister is kind of picky.  really picky,  actually,  but you know…  that’s family.  but maybe one day i’ll have kids of my own!  that’s the plan,  at least.”

‘  not at all, it’s my pleasure,  ’ he grinned, hand outstretched to hers as he placed the scrap in her palm. once he had done so, he began pulling faces at the youngster again, whilst babbling gibberish to her. ‘  that’s fair enough and you’re right but you should still take the offer into consideration because you never know when an emergency might arise.  ’ awkward shuffles, hums and ahhs followed suit as the boy scratched his head, already aware that whatever he said from this point forward wouldn’t have much of an impact on her stubbornness. ‘  aw, that’ll be nice. i’m planning the same thing too but it might be a little more difficult for me than you, i suppose,  ’ he sighed, his deeply-rooted maternal nature rearing its ugly head incredibly intensely today.

minnie and charlotte sat at the counter of the ice cream parlor. mother’s foot tapped against the linoleum floor while baby’s feet dangled over the edge of the booster seat. alike in posture, they sat eating their various ice creams. charlotte seemed engrossed in her small world of ice cream and happiness, but minnie’s world was far more expansive. so expansive, in fact, that she had picked up on the conversation happening at the table behind her back.     “  so,  ”     she mused, giving elijah a genuine smirk.     “  what’d you get tongue-tied over this time?  ”

pearly whites peeped between plump lips as he saw both minnie and charlotte spending some quality time together. it made him long for children, yet he was just far too young at present. he hadn’t seen the duo for a while and it just made him reminisce on the times where he would sit in minnie and her partner’s lounge spoon feeding charlotte her dinner. shaking his head back to reality, he chuckled a little, ‘  oh, i just saw you both and it reminded me of the times when i used to babysit for you both but, i suppose, now look where i am...  ’ came the admission, a vaguely glum tone noticeable within his vocals. ‘  if you ever need help though, i’m always here.  ’ he offered, waving to charlotte and putting on a high-pitched voice for her.

the quiet chuckle fell from Enzio’s lips as he picked the spoon up to dig into the food that had been placed in front of him. He really just thought of the boy as someone with better manners than others - and who doesn’t enjoy compliments? Or maybe Enzio was just really easy to impress. “Wow. Here I thought I was someone special. It’s fine, I get it.” The tip of his tongue collided with the roof of his mouth, clicking quietly as he looked up to smile at the other in an attempt to let him know he was just joking. “It’s a good mindset to have. You never know, a little generosity can make a shit day seem a little less dark.”

‘  well, i can assure you are someone special and as much as you are indeed a pretty face, i can’t have the wandering eye when i’ve got my boyfriend to go back home to later,  ’ he chuckled, trying to save the situation, regardless of it being simply banter between the duo. ‘  oh absolutely, i’ve been in some pretty dark places and i have to tell you, it’s people like you that have brightened the day and made me have faith in humanity. especially in a world ravaged with horrid situations these days.  ’ as he watched the other engulf his dessert, eli simply nodded and added, ‘  looks like you’re enjoying that. i’m thrilled.  ’

enzioxburke‌:

screen lighting up at the table that Enzio claimed for himself, he scrolled through a couple of missed calls and messages he would definitely forget to answer later but still ignored for the most part. If they had been of any importance, surely they’d call again or remind him anyway. Theoretically, at least. Not that he was anti-social…just in need of some downtime, really. And, as the bowl of food was set in front of him, in need of something to silence the growing pits of hell in his stomach. Enzio looked up with a cocked brow, slightly amused and definitely surprised at the random compliment. “Damn, I wasn’t aware good food comes with impeccable customer service these days. Is that part of the job interview?”

just as the brunette was about to run off and cower in embarrassment, he heard the male’s response and breathed an allayed sigh as it seemed he had taken the whole situation in his stride. an inviting smile soon appeared across his lips as he clutched his tray under his arms and began sparking a conversation with the other. it was undoubted that he was indeed a pretty face but eli needed to control his wandering eye in the workplace. ‘  well, thanks. i’m glad you like the food! surprisingly not, just thought i’d chuck it in and make someone a happy customer today,  ’ eli improvised, trying to come up with something to please him and hopefully make him return.

the ice cream shop wasn’t where sofia usually got her treats. she usually got them from her work at the sweet escape bakery when eddie wasn’t looking. but today was so hot, they were in florida after all, she decided she needed an ice cream. she gave the waiter a fairly simple sundae order – just vanilla and whipped cream and sprinkles. but it seemed to be taking forever despite the simplicity of the order. when eli, someone who wasn’t too fond of her in the first place, gave her the sundae, she figured it was because he didn’t like her. ‘ just don’t let it happen again, okay ? ’ she stated, harshly. 

from the moment the familiar figure had entered the shop, eli’s mood had instantly flipped. why, of all days, did today have to be the day that SHE was on his list of clientele? eli wasn’t a particularly petty person, as he didn’t believe in the mantra that revenge was the best medicine, but he just couldn’t help himself and so decided to make her sundae then go out the back to speak with his co workers. once he finally decided to bring her treat, he was, unsurprisingly greeted with a frosty reception. ‘  i— what? you don’t want me complimenting you? huh, whatever you say. i can certainly do that with ease,  ’ he responded, his hues now glaring into hers, a disgruntled expression evident on his features.

his  eyes  followed  elijah  as  he  went  to  deliver  the  most  recent  dine - in .     tony  was    just  barely  out    of  eatshot ,  so  he  could  hear  what  eli  was  saying .     he  had  bite  down  on  his  lip  to  stop  himself  from  laughing .     turning  on  his  heel ,  he  faced  the  back  counter  &  wiped  it  down  with  his  hand ,  trying  to    appear    busy .              “      i  can’t  believe  you  said  that ,      ”              he  whispered  over to  elijah  when  he  was  closer .              “      so ,  was  it  actually  a    pretty  face    or  did  someone  walk  by  the  window ?      ”              tony  smirked ,  teasing  as  he  bumped  up  into  eli’s  shoulder .

once he had pivoted so that his best friend and co-worker, tony, was in his eyeline, eli instantly released an allayed sigh. until the dreaded words slipped off his tongue and through his teeth. firstly, not truly believing what he was hearing, eli hummed, some excuse to put off the inevitable discourse that was now going to ensue. ‘  so what?—  ’ eli chuckled, brows arched and furrowing simultaneously, ‘  —i had to come up with something! surely, that was better than just walking away like a piece of shit?  ’ came the half-arsed but seemingly fuelled defence. ‘  but, in response to your question, they weren’t that bad looking, i suppose.  ’  a nonchalant shrug was all that followed, as snow white cheeks gradually became rosy pink.

“i think if it was my own kid i would take you up on my offer,  but i think i would be a bad babysitter if i passed off little miss to another babysitter so soon.”  shoulders lift and fell in an easy shrug,  a smile still sitting happily on her lips.  the little girl that she was holding onto laughed merrily at the exaggerations expressions that elijah was making.  “but it does seem like she’s rather fond of you,  too.”

the grin on his face faded away when she declined his offer even though he understood her reasoning. he just loved kids too much, he supposed. ‘  i understand,  ’ came the mere response as he shrugged indifferently. ‘  well, if you change your mind or her mom lets me look after her, the offer still stands, because i think you might just be right there,  ’ the brunette continued, as his beam began to reappear. fumbling in his jeans pocket, he grasped a crumpled scrap of notebook paper and began to scribble down his details. ‘  here you go. if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate.  ’

leviwyatt‌:

it had been an unusually busy day at the pay-a-penny bookstore and, whilst levi often didn’t mind work, he needed a break. escaping from the confines of the store and the smell of new and old books alike, he made his way down the alley behind the shop, leaning back against the wall with a sigh of relief as he lit up a cigarette and took a long drag. he closed his eyes, soaking up the silence and the nicotine rushing through his airways, but it wasn’t long before he heard another set of footsteps, sensed someone else joining him. “what do you want?” he groaned, lips still wrapped around the cigarette, and turned to face his company.

eli was on his lunch at work so had snuck out to the corner store to grab some candy before heading back to the parlor. he’d usually go the long way round but with little time of his break left, he decided to risk going through the alleys of the retail outlets. he was simply minding his own business when a bellowing voice, that sounded particularly threatening, sounded out of nowhere. his heart fell out of his mouth, and he promptly assumed he was about to get jumped. ‘  uh, nothing, i-i was just heading back to work,  ’ the brunette trembled, as he glanced over and the visage matched exactly who he expected it to be.

[elvjah]

with the bowl secured in his hand, eli ambled over to the table number that was printed on the order receipt and glanced down at it, reading out the orders one by one. as he began to place them onto the table, he took a glance down at the people sat at the table and paused for a moment. he was daydreaming, perhaps about the person at the table or perhaps at how delicious their order looked. when he came back to reality, he stumbled over his words slightly, ‘  uh, sorry, i got a bit lost then, can’t ignore a pretty face,  ’ he admitted with a nervous chuckle, as he attempted to come up with an excuse quickly. ‘  enjoy your treats.  ’ he smirked awkwardly, before he began to turn on his heel to walk back behind the counter.

“  no ! no, no, no, no, NO !  ”     a bang, a crash, and then the sound of something shattering.     “  i – i am so sorry. i’ll pay for it, i promise.  ”

his palm pushed itself against his visage as he heard the shattering of glass across the parlor floor. as much as a subtle rage burned deep within eli’s veins, all he could do in such circumstances was paint a faux grin upon his lips and begin tidying up the shards of fine china that had scattered themselves across the floor. ‘  isn’t that like the third bowl you’ve broken this month?  ’ he teased, jocularly, before turning his head away, rolling his eyes and continuing the job until the floor was spotless once more.

“well,  my sister and her husband decided that they were going on vacation without their little girl which means it’s just ellie and her aunt hannah this week.  and s o m e b o d y loves their aunt hannah,  doesn’t she?”  there’s nothing in the world that hannah loves more than babies and toddlers,  related to her or not.  “i didn’t sleep last night,  but that’s okay!”

eli’s eyes flickered between hannah and the infant adoringly as a warm arch formed upon his lips. ‘  you know, if you need any help at all, i used to do a little babysitting before i started working at the ice cream parlor. so i’d be willing to look after this little cutie for a while if you need a break.  ’ following his offer, eli began to gaze over at the child, as his visage morphed into funny shapes in an attempt to make her laugh.
