even pressed against the cold glass of her espresso martini , aria's lips can't help but pull into a smile , the thought of warm weather and terrible decisions like music to her ears . " and here i thought i was going to be the one getting you into trouble in the coming months , " she teases , taking a sip from her drink before following rio's lead and setting her glass back down on the table . " i think the first item in your string of terrible decisions should be to take a vacation . . . like you said , it's getting warm out and i for one think we are deserving of a girl's trip ⸻ my parents have that house in the hamptons you know , we should go pay a visit ? " an eyebrow playfully raises , an equally devious look overcoming aria's face just as it does to rio . " we could even invite wes but if we do you guys are not allowed to talk about work , if i have to be proxy to one more conversation about post-season trade offers i might just shove my own fist down my throat . "
“ trust me , you would have gotten my full cooperation . you might have to rip my phone away from my hands but i would have gone with you willingly . ” rio winked at her , making a mental note to say yes even before knowing aria’s plan for the two was . “ but if i’m going to even survive this season of baseball , i’m going to need some time for myself too . otherwise wes will literally run my ass into the ground with whatever he has up his sleeve for this summer . ” a chill ran up her spine , feeling almost like a premonition of what’s to come . she desperately needed dedicated time to wind down and feel free from expectations , responsbilities , and whatever nonsense came with adulthood . “ you mean time away from the city ? ” as much as she loved new york and all of it’s quirks – the two needed a break from each other . it was the healthy thing to do with any relationship , right ? even if it's with a city . “ yes , yes , yes ! and a hundred times yes after that ! ” while wes would be with them , they could trust that he’d be able to leave work talk in the rearview mirror until they got back to the city . “ wes can come and i promise to be on my very worst ... best ? behavior . no work talk whatsoever and if i start ... would it be dumb to make it into a drinking game ? ” she knew she’d be bound to slip up at some point . so why not make it fun ?
“ mmm but there’s still the same chance of running into a line out the door because everyone thinks the wait won’t be so bad . ” and it’s like clockwork when it happens . “ i could’ve sworn aperol spritzes were the summer drink two years ago ? i thought all the rage was with negroni sbagliatos because of that one tiktok that went viral . time doesn’t feel real at this point with how fast trends die . ” don’t even get them started on how that nearly started bleeding into their work because of clients with unrealistic expectations . “ speaking of cocktails , i read somewhere that appletinis might make a comeback this summer . your thoughts ? ”
“ now that i think about it ... you’re right ... the line would probably double with additional seating . thank god restaurants have started using online queues though . you might have to physically check in at the place before fully getting a spot sometimes , but at least you’ll have a some way in . ” it saved his ass for sure last week when he tried to get dinner with some of his teammates . “ i swore people were throwing aperol spritz themed parties last year too ? if not aperol spritz parties , it was negroni sbagliatos being ordered left , right , and center at the bars last year . which ... not for me . an original negroni with gin tastes slightly better . ” the drink is bitter as is , he personally liked it better without the added fizz of a sparkling wine . “ appletinis ? ” beau tilted his head to the side . “ sounds like if anyone has one too many , that hangover is going to be insane . i’m imagining a sweet drink and it might even be one that tastes like juice . so yeah , sounds like the perfect summer drink . ” he lets out a chuckle , rubbing his chin as he thinks about it some more . “ beats out the negroni sbagliato in terms of summer vibes if you asked me. ”
she hadn’t thought this far , really . smile freezing on her face at the sudden request for proof , mai could practically hear the clown music playing on a loop in her head . “ haven’t you seen the tabloids recently ? ” the fact that nearly everything printed in said tabloids about mai was a blatant lie was neither here nor there . “ i get into more trouble than i know what to do with , apparently . ” she was maybe more than a little bitter about the whole situation , but that didn’t mean she couldn’t find some humor in it . “ you know , i think i’d be upset if you didn’t whisk me away to some unknown somewhere just for the hell of it . we could consider it the christening of our fresh new friendship . ”
the tabloids . rio nearly let out a groan of frustration when reminded of , what is sadly considered , piece of literary work . they’ve had their own run ins with the paparazzi which feeds the writers that report for said tabloids . “ mai ... shall i remind you that there is usually not a single shred of truth in tabloids ? ” they reassured her , knowing that most of the time those bozos spew whatever they think will be the next tantilizing scandal of the day for a few clicks . “ if i don’t hear it from you , then i’m not going to believe a single word they say . ” she reached out to her new friend , patting their hand in a comforting way to affirm her further . if rio was anything , it was earnest . she’d much rather have a clear understanding of whatever situation before drawing her own conclusions . why bother falling for useless fodder when she can hear about it directly from mai ? “ then that settles it ! ” rio brought her hands together in a delighted clap . “ get prepared to be whisked away in the next few days . i’ll take care of every single thing . all you have to do is make sure someone knows who you’ll be with and if we don’t end up returning on the return date ... ” their eyes widened , pausing longer than necessary for dramatic effect . “ to just call me because we’re probably just tired as hell ... or hungover . ”
"oh geez... beau," taking the coffee, with a small sip, "i am not the person you should be asking." he laughs, "i have the palette of like a five year old. i eat like.. chicken tenders and fries. i make grilled cheeses like 6 times a week." he may be fit, but he wasn't necessarily healthy by any means, he favorite foods are cheetos and fruit roll-ups and he always has candy on him, hell, he had a hi-chew in his pocket right now! he's a prime example of someone who was never taught how to eat well. "can you like, make a fancy version of a grilled cheese? does that even exist?"
“ chicken tenders and fries , grilled cheeses , and ... ” beau took a sip of his coffee . the bright notes of the beveraged filled his senses . and then – “ pasta ... pizza ! ” he turned his head rather quickly over to neo , eyes wide as the epiphany hit him . “ i can definitely make you a fancy - ish grilled cheese . but thoughts on pizza ? it’s been a while since i’ve made some and i can basically put whatever you want on it . personalized just for you . ” now that he thought about it , he could probably make him both . the grilled cheese first to hold him over while he made the pizza from scratch . a little snack before the real fun began . “ five year old palette or not . it was exactly what i needed . something fun and will be pretty good content too . the hardest part about it is probably making the crust . ”
neo, the absolute enabler that he is, couldn't help the grin on his face from growing. "yes, absolutely. let it fuel you. as natasha bedingfield once said, free your inhibitions, feel the rain of your skin. absorb the energy and run free. eat whatever you want, drink as much as you want, buy everything your sweet heart desires. i personally, think that's always the right decision. we are simply beings." he chuckles, "yes, please. keep me involved. i have zero reservations, always, but especially during spring!"
“ now that's the spirit ! ” rio swished her finger in the air with a softer grin on her features . although the playful glint in their eyes hadn’t disappeared just yet . “ and to start our first day of freeing our inhibitions , why not have a drink ? on me ! ” a dainty hand waved their server over to their table , while the other grabbed the drink menu that was left on the table . “ what do you say , neo ? got some time to share a drink with me ? i’m kind of in the mood to throw my plans out the window . please tell me that you’ll say yes . ” however , they’d happily have a drink by themselves if neo refused them . if it meant a chance to play a little hooky from work for a few hours , then so be it . “ for natasha bedingfield ! ”
“ i think it’s a nice round number for a cutoff , ” ana admits , chuckling lightly . “ i’ve only been here for about two years now ? so technically , i still have an excuse as to why i haven’t explored much of the city ! ” with school and diplomatic appearances , she’s mostly been confined to manhattan . at rio’s suggestion , she nods enthusiastically . “ oh my god , yes ! absolutely . i think it’s way more fun to explore with someone else . especially when it comes to restaurants and cafes . there’s two thai spots in the east village –– somtum der and terra thai . the food hits the spot when i’m feeling a little homesick . ” it was rare but it happened in occasion . “ but speaking of cafes , which ones are your favorites ? or at least ones you keep going back to if you don’t have an absolute favorite . ”
“ why don’t we make a list of places we want to go ? and they have to be places that aren’t downtown . be intentional with our lists so we get some exploring in . maybe ... maybe even picking out our own favorite places to show the other ? no gatekeeping here . ” rio grinned , her fingers lightly strumming against the table . “ although , some gatekeeping is understandable too . if the little pizza place i like to go to after going out for drinks starts getting too busy ... i will have no qualms with causing some problems . ” she thoughtlessly shrugged her shoulders . perhaps they were a touch too protective of their favorite things . would they ever apologize for it ? nope ! “ both added to my upcoming places to eat . i’ll ask the servers what their recommendations are . unless ... you have your own recommendations ? ” rio offered her a grin . “ as far as my favorite cafés ? for their coffee – variety coffee roasters . they have a few locations . but my overall favorite is abarçao . the vibes and the baked goods ? perfection . ”

ׅ ࣪𓏲ּ ֶָ ☁️ ❛ don't you think there's something missing? should i flash my abs or . . . ? ❜ though there is half a smile plastered across his face , his concern is genuine . being in front of a camera made him unusually shy , maybe a manifestation of his worst nightmares - that the endless exposure would destroy him in the end . ❛ i have to be honest , i did not shave my belly hair . ❜
as usual , rio’s brows were knitted together as she looked at her phone . unopened emails piled on top of each other . some that commanded her undivided attention , not that she had any to spare at the moment . they’d heard his concerns initially , their mind already trying to come up with something to remedy them . “ if you think there’s something missing , it’s always best to film what you can . it can be edited out in post production . and if it doesn't make it , then it could be added to some cool behind the scenes video . ” she looked up at zyran , offering him a polite smile while she slid her phone back into her pocket . the emails would have to wait for now . what was once an opportunity to network at an earlier music video shoot of his , fate would have rather that they’d become rather fast friends during one of his breaks . “ why not ... just show your chest ? obviously you’d be shirtless , but nothing shot from the waist up . it gives the fans what they want , and you don’t have to worry about your belly hair ? ”
OPEN STARTER: @nepofmstarters LOCATION: tompkins square park
neo probably slept about 3 hours, and is running off the fumes of his last energy drink. he sits on the park bench housing a box of sour patch kids. watching the dogs run around in the dog park, and thinks, "i know there's a reason, us dogless humans aren't allowed in the dog park. like someone could steal a dog or cause harm or whatever. but there's got to be a way to get in there without a dog. and i think this figurative barrier, due to a valid rule, is really hindering my happiness. i could be playing fetch right now. petting a good boy! because he deserves it! and i can't because that man right there, knows i'm dogless." he points with a green sour patch kid and glares at a park security guard.
“ i mean ... ” beau rubbed the back of his neck , somewhat understanding where neo was coming from . from his own experience , there were dog parks that allowed people in without a dog . he’s had his fair share of simply walking through the park , not necessarily approaching any dogs though . “ that security guard does look like they mean business ... or could just have one HELL of a resting face . if it's any consolation , i’m sure the lovely dog owners who go to other public parks would let you pet their dogs . or if you happen to pass one by on the way home ? ” he’s reminded of the tiktok user that goes around taking pictures of the dogs he encounters while out and about . “ and if i had a dog , you’d definitely get a ‘ feel free to take out on walks ’ pass to go to these dog parks . ”
" i don't think miscreant behavior ever really stops around here. " the light haired woman chuckles softly, swirling the fork in her spaghetti. " are you saying that you're gonna end up participating in the debauchary of summer? something about a hot girl summer i always hear about? " jisu is only teasing, head shaking lightly. the warmth of summer had always been her personal favorite, as she no longer had to spend a thousand years layering appropriately. the look on rio's face has jisu a little bit nervous, and she swallows down the bite of spaghetti before she chokes. " well, that depends. do your plans include any interaction with the nypd? the fdny? if neither of those are involved, then i can join you. "
rio picked up a piece of bread to dip into some olive oil , her head moving from side to side as if she were weighing her options . “ some debauchery here and there ... a dash of salaciousness ... a sprinkle of friskiness to really round it out . then and only then will i think the hot girl summer of my dreams would be complete . ” did they have an inkling on how they’d be able to achieve just that ? somewhat . but the fun that came with something like this was the spontaneity of it all . with the sound of choking coming from their companion , their eyes widened . rio waved over a server to get jisu some water . “ hm ? oh ... OH . ” her own eyes widened further . “ no . it feels like i interact with the police at least every other week because of one of my clients . i can't really afford to start seeing the nypd on my own time . ” or else she’ll never hear the end of it from both said client and her own boss ( read as : her father ) . “ day parties , brunch , nights out , shopping sprees , and anything else we can come up with . how does that sound ? ”
nanami accepts the coffee, instantly swirling her straw in the caramel sweetened drink. " ah, if there's one thing i can help with, it's a content slump! " she takes a sip of her drink, and thinks for a moment as she attempts to come up with an idea. " hmm, how about you make it some kind of challenge for yourself? like, you can only cook with what you already have or you can only buy stuff from one store with a limited budget? " the young woman's head tilts. " as for what you'll actually be cooking, what about ramen? seems like everyone is obsessed with those buldak noodles, so you could do a recipe with that? "
beau nodded along to everything she’d suggested , the vision coming together with every word . “ you’re onto something . like one of those ‘ let’s clear out my pantry and refrigerator ’ type of videos . ” he could see it now – all the ingredients that were leftover from the other meals he’s cooked this week . even though he’d just eaten before getting some coffee , his stomach already had other ideas . “ and who doesn’t love a good buldak video where you’re not just adding cheese and milk to it ? on trend but still not overdone i think . ” bringing up his cup up to his lips , dreaming up all of the multiple combinations he'd be able to make . “ as a thank you , it only feels right to make sure you get a chance to have a taste too . ”
“ i think , ” they began , blinking at beau with a blank look on his face . “ that you put maybe a little more thought into it than i did … ” truthfully , he hadn’t gotten to the ride concept part of the fantasy , stuck wholly on the big - picture idea itself . if they’re being generous to himself , then he knew he wanted to include the whole ceremony with the monster story and the hologram thing and ... that's pretty much it . “ the only snack i can think of to have would be those scooby ice creams you get from the guy in the truck , you know ? with the bubblegum eyeballs . ”
“ you’d be surprised what i do end up thinking about . you might think i’m sleeping on the team plane but i’m definitely dreaming up a few ideas . ” he says simply , shoulders moving up in a shrug . it was easy for him to just get lost in his thoughts . do they have better things to do with their time ? sure , but where was the fun in that ? they’d run circles around whatever hypothetical marketing team warner brothers had with how much he thought about this . “ that and maybe some ice cream where they had those cinnamon scooby snack treats in it . but food wise ... has to be munchie friendly . ” maybe they did think more about this than normal ... “ i feel like i was some amusement park tycoon in another life . ”
“ making good choices is overrated , anyways , ” she agreed with a sly smirk of her own to mirror rio’s . was mai typically known for making poor decisions ? well , no … at least , not unless it was in relation to her love life … but people can evolve . “ i always say , ” ( she did not always say ) “ that you won’t have any stories to tell if you’re on that ol’ straight - and - narrow all the time , you know ? ” honestly , if rio hadn’t already clocked her for the trouble - fraud that she was , that sentence alone was enough to do the job . “ you won’t find me complaining ! i put myself in your capable hands . ”
“ right ... the ol’ straight - and - narrow . ” she emphasized each part , wondering just how much of what mai said was true . now this was going to be interesting . rio's grin softened just a touch after hearing mai’s response . “ so tell me , mai , what kind of trouble have you been in ? ” did they mean to challenge her a bit ? maybe , but it was more to gauge how far she’d be able to take mai with their future plans . “ if i whisk you away to , say , an impromptu trip somewhere and you really had to trust me ... would that be okay with you ? ” a for effort in healthy boundaries , right ? “ i promise to make sure that we’ll have as much fun responsibly . because honestly , i’d rather not have your agent yell at me the day after for all the shenanigans we got ourselves into . ”
gemma nodded, resonating with rio's commentary. there was something about the warm weather that just brought out the mischief and no fucks given type of attitude. "i have a feeling there will be some getting up to trouble on the agenda very soon... and gonna look damn good while doing it." maybe it was all the built up winter hibernation and restlessness finally being released. almost like a dog with the zoomies. she had always thrived more in the summer months and places anyway. "i would expect nothin' less. appreciate the heads up though. one thing for sure, whatever happens, it'll be a fun ass time and a good story to tell afterwards."
wishing they had gotten something other than water at that moment , rio picks up her glass and raises it once more . if there was one thing that she'd been anticipating with the warm weather , it would be the new pieces she added to her closet recently . “ i'd drink to that . taking the city by storm and not caring about any of the consequences until after the fact . i don't know what it is , but i have a feeling this summer is going to be different from the rest . ” she really had no basis for thinking this way . call it intuition , maybe it was wishful thinking . but one thing was for certain , if they were going to let loose a little , the warmer weather would definitely boost those chances . “ you have no idea how relieved i am that you said that . when i propose a bar crawl on a weekday ... please entertain me . i'll make sure we get home in one piece with a bottle of water on the bedside table and a greasy breakfast in the morning. ”
maybe she was dreaming . it wouldn’t be the first time she’d conjured him up in her imagination , kind smile and all , especially considering how sleep deprived she'd been since returning to new york . surely this wasn’t actually happening , because otherwise , this would be way too surreal . five years was a long time to go without seeing someone , long enough that you realize you can’t quite recall their features like you used to … but this likeness … eyes widening when their fingers brushed as she robotically took the offered cup from his hand , she nearly dropped it in her surprise . no , this was beau — real , tangible , here — looking at her like they’d never been apart for a day . she should say something , really , because standing in the middle of a cafe with the most ridiculous shell - shocked look on her face was getting her nothing but curious looks from passersby . finally opening her mouth to respond , unfortunately , all that her brain could come up with was a forcefully cheerful smile and a pathetic , “ thanks for the coffee ! ” before she turned on her heel and sped from the store . she turned the corner into an alleyway , pressing her back against the cool brick and she tried not to let herself start panicking . what was wrong with her ? running into your ex shouldn’t render a person completely incapable of rational thought … even if they are that ex , the one she’d so desperately tried replacing with all the others ... though , clearly , with no lasting effect .
it couldn't have been ... right ? his eyes weren't deceiving him . this wasn't some kind of cruel joke that his conscience had conjured up . it was her . a whisper of a gasp passed through his lips as he eyes finally focused at the person standing next to him . it was such a small physical interaction – a fleeting moment where their fingers brushed against one another . and yet ... that feeling was the most electrifying thing he's felt since the last time he lived in this city . their city . “ wait –– mai ! ” being left breathless was an understatement . no , it wasn't enough to describe the depths of how he felt being near her again . watching her leave left his soul feeling unsettled , like it was begging for him to chase after her – just so it could feel whole again . you'd think that after all these years and the heartache he's felt since leaving the city that it would have been easier to blame her . so why did he run after her ? leaving the coffee on the counter and searched the sidewalks frantically for her . because you don't want to make the mistake of not chasing after her again . it was a sobering thought . one he thought he'd gotten out of his system long before he moved into the city . “ mai , where are you ? ” he mumbled to himself , eyes desperately scanning for just a glimpse of her . “ come on , angel . where –– ” beau stopped in his tracks , heart practically urging to beat out of his chest and return back to her . “ hi . ” alright , loser , that's the best you can say to her ? if he were being honest , his mouth could barely utter anything else . what were you supposed to say in this moment ? “ um , you – you left ... the café . and ... ” a nervous hand raked through his hair , eyes boring holes into the ground like they'd offer some form of support . “ i'm sorry , i don't know why i went looking after you . you probably don't want to see ... me . ” so why hadn't he walked away yet ?
“ well … ” ana starts , a teasing smile present on the princess’ lips . “ i’d say it’s passable if you haven’t lived in the city long enough but that just gives you the excuse to start venturing out more . don’t get me wrong , downtown is great but i am determined to not turn into the person who’s lived in the city for five years and knows nothing else outside of downtown . ” she reaches for her glass of mimosa before leaning in to view the pictures on their phone . “ oh that’s so beautiful . it’s so ethereal . i need to step it up a notch . i just go to the same café by columbia because it does the job , ” she’ll admit with a light laugh . “ my current mission is to find the best thai restaurants in the city . ”
“ five years , huh ? good thing i'm sitting at four years living here myself . i know that seems like i've been living here for quite some time but ... ” the words ‘ i spend a lot of my time running around moving mountains for my clients ’ nearly leave her mouth . perhaps this was the sign she needed some form of work - life balance . “ anyways , i guess that means it's time to start exploring and all that . maybe we can do that together . what do you think ? ” rio grinned at her , nodding a bit as she placed her phone back down onto the table . “ i need a change of scenery from time to time so i guess cafés have become my thing . plus i'm a sucker for a good iced coffee ... some might say i'm a coffee snob . ” which was true . “ i absolutely adore thai food . have any restaurants stood out to you yet ? ”

“ i'm kind of at a loss ... ” he looked over at [ your muse ] , handing their coffee to them with a small frown . “ i have a kind of free day coming up and i was thinking about posting a new cook with me reel ... but i have no clue what to cook . ” beau blew into the disposable cup , the fragrant notes from the brew filling his senses in hopes to spark some – ANYTHING . “ got any ideas ? no such thing as dumb ideas here , by the way . ”
