“this is so stupid,” cillian groaned. “i mean i dunno what i was thinking. there are plenty of people who live in new york who never learn how to drive. i could just take public transit everywhere,” but even as the words were leaving his mouth, he was grimacing at the idea. it’s not that he thought he was above it or anything. but ever since he witnessed a rather traumatic experience on the subway as a child, he’d just kind of nixed the idea entirely. “i’d ride my bike, but it’s so fucking cold out,” he complained. he’d been doing a lot of that today. complaining. and he was pretty sure the person who’d reluctantly agreed to help him study for his permit test was starting to regret the favor entirely. “i haven’t taken a written test since high school, you know? this is gonna suck dick.”

" Relax man, you got this. If sixteen year olds can do it, so can you. ” HC himself didn’t drive. He had a license, sure. But he never used it. He’d walk, take a cab or bike over driving anywhere in the city. “ Start with the simple ones, how many sides on a stop sign and go from there. Only worry about the stupid things like length of a penalty for your third drag racing offence later. ” It had been a while since he and Cillian had really hung out properly so he’d been all too happy to assist. “ Tell you what. Each question you get right, I’ll buy you a shot next time we’re at Blue. ”

“ If you do another shot of that gross whatever it was without wincing or making a face, I swear to god I’ll pay you fifty bucks, ” HC stated loudly as the two sat at the bar rail.

HC was spending yet another day managing the family’s antiques store. They were rather short staffed so even days he might general get out of early he was stuck here until much later on. He’d hung a help wanted sign but as of yet no one had come in to inquire about the position. Hearing the bell ding as someone came in from behind the stack of old books where he was taking inventory he said “ I’ll be with you in a moment. If you’re here about a job, applications are on the checkout desk next to the clock display. ”

   “Okay, don’t be scared...but I think there’s something in the dumpster over there...” Kam tried to sound level headed, and not like he was scared to death by the rumbling coming from the large bin just next to him in the back alley. He’d been taking a smoke break at the tattoo shop, doing his best to clear his head before his next appointment, but instead of taking his own advice, Kam ended up yelping, and hopping into the other person’s arms when he heard yet another loud bang coming from the dumpster.

“ I think the raccoon would be more likely to eat our faces than a human would be, ” HC pointed out, probably unhelpfully. He turned back towards the other as he first stepped forward and then backed up again. “ Probably better if we don’t both go anyway. One of us may need to call for help.” He approached the dumpster once more, taking a final drag on his cigarette before flicking it into a puddle and putting a hand on the dumpster lid. “ You ready ? ”

“Don’t look at me like that. I know this thing looks weird, but I promise it tastes so good. You know what? You’re just gonna have to try some, and I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer.”

“ if you’re sure, ” HC replied with a dubious look on his face. He sniffed at it a bit, didn’t smell too bad so there was that at least. Cautiously he took a bite, rather a bigger one than intended and chewed on it. It was.... an experience. Far from the most horrible thing on the planet it also wasn't good. It tasted like a good intention with poor follow through. The young mans nose crinkled as he tried, in vain, to positively identify even one of the ingredients in the casserole based on taste alone. “ So like, what's even in this ? ” he asked around his mouthful, unsure whether to swallow it or not.

Anyone you have your eye on?

“ Everyone I see, obviously. ”

[hcbarrow]

If you could get rid of one of your responsibilities today, what would it be?

“ Probably taking over the shop. But don’t let my parents know. Like seriously, don’t. ”

[hcbarrow]

What are you ashamed of?

“ A lot. ”

“ Its probably just a raccoon or some shit, pretty sure there is some dude or another who has a pet one of those so I'm not that afraid, worst case its an escaped convict, ” the young man responded nonchalantly. If it was an escaped convict, there was a chance he’d know him given his family’s . . side business. So in any case, he didn't really care what the outcome would be. “ You sure you don’t want to take a peek ? ”

ronnie was always looking for cool shit to decorate the apartment, so it wasn’t a surprise that she was a semi regular customer at barrow antiques. ronnie didn’t much care for the old saying ‘one man’s trash is another man’s treasure’ because she couldn’t imagine anyone thinking that any of the oddities lining the walls of the pawn shop were trash, but the saying certainly rang true. today she’d been browsing for pieces to decorate her new apartment with but had gotten distracted chatting with hc. “okay but i really think it’s gonna make a comeback,” ronnie said, running her fingers through her now platinum dyed mullet. “we’re gonna be the one’s to bring it back in kingsboro, i’m certain.”

@hcbarrow​

" I hope it makes a comeback, ” he responded, shaking his own mullet as he spoke. “ It really isn’t the shitty style everyone thinks it is. I always found them awesome, and honestly, no one who thinks that ever watched full house. Uncle Jesse was goals. ” Having been on the receiving end of some degree of mockery over his choice in hairstyle, it was nice to have someone who not only supported them, but sported one themselves. “ Who knows, maybe it will catch on like a rash. ”

“ But it looks horrific, ” HC protested. He had no intention of actually consuming something that looked like that but apparently he didn’t have a choice. “ This had better not be a trick or I’m not gonna be happy. ”
