sneak peak below!
Despite his best efforts to stay warm and stylish, Jaskier felt as though the wine red coat was not the best nor the most terrible choice he could have made to wear over his teal suit with the violet tie. His flatmate Priscilla snorted when she saw him leave his room like that, but it was too late to go change now, because down the road he saw the black clar leaving the garage.
Gripping his bag’s handle a little more firmly, he mentally prepared himself to greet his neighbor and coworker with a warm smile, even if his nose felt like falling off soon. The snow had done quite a number on the road the past days, but luckily it had already melted a little to make the roads accessible and safe again. Jaskier remembered sliding down the pathway to the building he lived in, the ice sparkling in devillish mischief at him from below.
The SUV stopped in front of him, tires pressing down on the gray sludge. After deeply breathing in and out once more, Jaskier opened the door and smiled at the driver. “Good morning, Geralt.” After knocking his shoes against each other one after the other to shake off the snow, he sat on the passenger seat and placed his bag between his feet.
“G’morning,” the man next to him spoke, voice still raspy, presumably from having not spoken all night and morning. “Sorry for being a little late today, I hope you didn’t wait too long.” He paused. “The car made some noise when I started it, but I couldn’t find the problem. I’ll get it fixed tomorrow, just ignore the sounds.” Finally, he looked at his neighbor with his light brown eyes.
“Oh, I hope it’s nothing terrible,” Jaskier replied, blindly grabbing for the seat belt and securing himself with it. “Do you want me to pay up? Since you let me drive with you more often than not.” He had some money on the side for emergencies, but he could not refuse to help out Geralt financially, as it was more than generous of him to even take him to work 5 days a week and back on tuesdays and thursdays.
“Don’t worry, that’s not why I brought it up.” Geralt started the car back up, the motor’s protesting noise perceivable even to Jaskier’s grandma three streets away. The music came back to life, the ventilation’s stream blew softly against their skin and fought against the condensation besieging the windshield.
