it was late, and mj had found herself on the playground, swinging as she mouthed along to the song playing in her headphones– she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t pretending she was in a music video. her stomach twisted in an uncomfortable way when she heard the crunch of feet behind her and she teared her headphones out of her ears, turning around to see who was approaching. “hello? who’s there?”
i see honey in your stare crooned into her ears through his earbuds as she walked around pretty aimlessly. how she wound up in the playground was beyond her. one of her favourite past times was to listen to music and let her feet guide her on short, pedestrian adventures and she thought nothing of it, really, until she heard a moderately distressed voice call out. holden couldn’t resist having some fun, licking over her lip-gloss stained lips before responding, “i am the ghost of christmas past, ebenezer. i’m here to show you the errors of your ways.”
his face settled into an eternal disinterested, heavy-lidded stare, he sat behind the counter at bonehill’s bowling alley. he hated to be a stereotype– the typical bored young person working behind the counter, barely putting an effort in– but he couldn’t help it. “welcome to bone hill bowling,” kian said flatly, already turning around to face the shoes behind him, before even looking at the person who’d come up to the counter. “what’s your shoe size?”
there was a dubious expression on his face as soon as he reached the counter. “do i really have to wear bowling shoes in order to participate?” he asked, sounding more resigned than anything. “i’m not saying i won’t, i’m just wondering why that is? conformist rituals make me a little uncomfortable,” he admitted, rubbing over his nose with his gloved hand. “nothing against you, dude, i know this is just your job and hey, maybe you don’t need a dumb question from a whiny teenager but unfortunately you’re the one on shift today and i don’t know how to keep my mouth shut when there’s something i wanna know.” he paused. “you know?”
lou felt feminine today. they’d donned a long wig and put on a sundress, unafraid of what people would think– bonehill wasn’t technically accepting of their gender fluidity, but they’d learned to mostly ignore lou’s strange and always shifting style and presentation. sitting on top of the dryer they had running in the laundromat, they kicked their legs and stared at the ceiling, counting the ceiling tiles. 1, 2, 3, 4… the bell rings to signify someone had entered and it made them lose count. their eyes turned down to see who’d come in. “hello.” they said happily as the person made their way through the building. “how are you today?”
“shitty,” holden said, snippy from the get go as they walked into the laundromat. they weren’t carrying any laundry, but that was they weren’t really hear for the cheap services that were kinder to their water bill, but rather for the person sat atop the dryer. it took all of minutes to cross over to them at the pace they were going at. “we have a new guy working at the store and he keeps on putting on crappy music while i go out on my breaks. you know, today i walked in on robin thicke. robin thicke!” they repeated, their voice becoming increasingly high in pitch. “robin thicke has no place in my store.” okay, so technically it was not his store, but it might as well be. they looked after the little hole-in-the-wall heaven like it was his own child. “can you believe that?”
I’m not brave any more, darling. I’m all broken. They’ve broken me.
