“I know you have, so you should know that this is nothin’,” Gemma said modestly. “I happen to love those walls,” she admitted, hoping to one day add a piece of her own, but not quite having the courage to ask yet. “Yep! Got a busy day tomorrow and I can use all the relaxing I can get.” There was something about the shop that instantly set the blonde into a state of relaxation. It was one of her favorite places in the entire city.

“Yeah, well, the walls love you too,” he rolled his eyes fondly. “Great! I can do nothing but reshuffle records for the first half of the day, and then do nothing but reshuffle records in your company for the second half. My favorite thing to do, honestly. Makes no sense.” he smiled. He cast his gaze over the street in front of them. “Found a new place to spray, by the way.”

“Please, that one’s a mess. You should see the shit I do when I’m actually trying,” she said, swatting his hand away gently. “Hey, I for one love cartoons. I’ve seen your stuff at the shop, you’re pretty fucking good.”

“I have, and they’re amazing.” Khal bumped Gemma’s shoulder with his own. He rolled his eyes at her compliment. “Oh please, they’re just something to cover the walls. Speaking of, I missed you there. Are you coming after work tomorrow?”

[fcknkhal]

            vance shook his head and began to laugh, not believing the thought. ‘ even though i’m out of the grocery store, i still can’t help but think of all the other people who must have seen that ! ’

“I absolutely can’t believe this...thank god I didn’t have to grab anything that was behind them. Imagine having to ask them to scoot over in the middle of that!”

[fcknkhal]

hyfrgem:

“Oh hey,” Gemma rolled her eyes as Khal sat next to her. “Just drawin’ some people. Well mostly just facial features and stuff, but y’know,” she shrugged.

He hummed mindlessly, scanning the sketch pad in her lap. “Those look nice,” he pointed at the messy sketch in one corner. “I was never really one to draw anything real...just cartoons. But these look great!”

[fcknkhal]

❛ — couldn’t tell you that, all I know is that I prefer them more than the plastic. ❜

“Do you, I suppose. As long as you recycle, that is.”

[fcknkhal]

            ‘ was just trying to get some fucking milk but- got a show instead ?? ’

“This is some shit you’d see on What Would You Do. Like, where are the cameras, honestly? There’s no way this is real.

hyfrgem:

gemma had been sitting on her front stoop for a good few hours, soaking up the unseasonably warm air and getting in some new sketches. she always loved sitting out here, as there seemed to be an endless supply of inspiration. just as the sun was starting to set, she noticed a human shaped shadow appear across her sketchpad. “hey, you’re blockin’ my light!” she exclaimed, looking up to see who the shadow belonged to.

Khal snorted at Gemma’s reaction. “Alright, alright. Budge over, blondie.” He dropped gracelessly onto the stoop next to her. “What are you working on?”

[fcknkhal]

❛ — yeah that’s why I originally wanted the paper bags. but canvas bags do rip, just like plastic and paper, I just prefer the paper. ❜

“Wait, do paper bags not cost anything?”

[fcknkhal]

❛ — okay but hear me out on this. that’s five cents I don’t have. woah! crazy right ?! ❜

“But the plastic bags are five cents, that’s the thing. The canvas bags never rip, and they only cost a dollar for lifetime use.”

[fcknkhal]

❛ — you’ve got a point there but yeah, I actually do know that. I’d have one if I had the time to get one or the money to spare to actually buy one. I also care more about keeping myself alive and healthy more than the earth, who is most likely going to adapt to the amount of shit we give it. ❜

“Okay but hear me out on this...it’s five cents per bag. Boom. Case closed”

[fcknkhal]

           ‘ uhhh … ’ vance blinked briefly before straying his eyes from whatever he hadn’t been expecting. he chewed on his bottom lip, raised a cup to his lips. ‘ gonna pretend that didn’t happen. or that i saw it. ’

“I don’t...I don’t even want to know. Who told them fucking in the grocery store was a good idea?”

[fcknkhal]

❛ — that’d be a great solution if I had one of those bags. I’m all about saving the earth and all but life sucks and the earth’s dieing already so why not kill the suffering? ❜

“I mean we’re all just slowly dying, aren’t we? Might as well do our best to be as healthy as possible so that it doesn’t hurt too bad when we do go. Also, I hope you know they sell those bags at the end of every checkout lane.”

[fcknkhal]

❛ — great; just absolutely great. I love it when my groceries fall out of these stupid plastic bags when that damn cashier knew I said paper. also love the fact that this salad and ramen noodles are now probably covered in egg yolk at the moment. probably means no new textbook this week, or I could just not eat for a week. ❜

“The solution to this would just be to bring your own canvas bag...save the environment and all that?”

hey yall im brittany and this is khaled!! if you make any major key jokes, though, he’ll fuck you up. he was raised in D.C, but went to philly and fell in love with the place, so he decided to open Malik Records here. the shop is pretty much all lazy smiles, drooping eyes, hazy smoke, and graffiti walls. heres some of his major key points though!

he prefers not to talk, and to listen instead

his form of expression is through graffiti and his tattoos

he seems quite standoffish, but he’s actually quite sweet

he has a bad temper

he likes sprinkles and ice cream

and getting high

you can pretty much always find him with a pack of cigs
