Glen raised his brow as Johnny said that school was important. “I know” He said with a light shrug, but not that important that I have to talk to you about it” He pointed out with a light chuckle. He kept his eyes on the older man, not that he looked old or anything, Glen would have definitely allowed himself to slip in to the others bed. 

“Get back and do what?” He asked. “How about instead of be bored in there you can hang out with me?” He asked, biting the inside of his cheek with a knowing little smile. “I’m sure I can show you a much better time than they can”

Johnny took a step to leave but halted when Glen spoke. 

Was he sweating? Johnny sucked in a deep breath. “That’s a tempting offer. But you’re like what eighteen/nineteen? And I’m...I’m just not a good guy. I can’t add corrupting impressionable young minds to my lists. It’s already too much.”

“Depends on your definition of fun.” Dean answered with a lopsided smile. He’d been accused on more than one occasion of being a homebody. Now more than ever. “Guess there’s always using your dog to meet strangers on the street.” His he shrugged. “There’s also ‘Whisper’ for the nights you might be feeling like going out.” Lips curling up, the glance Johnny tossed him mentioning the church hadn’t escaped him. “It’s far less likely that you’d be tackled down by a dog there.”

[johnny-stratton]

“I’m not complaining. A quick tumble, and he’s kind enough to drop you off at my door. Sounds like most people’s definition of a good time, right?” 

Johnny grinned mischievously, then quickly shot forward in his seat. “Finally, I know where I am!. That apartment building over there is me.”

“Reason why I go blading”

Glen tilted his head to the side again as he took another drag of the joint, chuckling lightly to himself at the question. “They grade it on your creativity” He said. “Is that really what you want to talk about though, school?” He hummed before he pulled himself up from the wall and walked over to him. 

[johnny-stratton]

Johnny shook his head slowly. Tension knotted in his gut. ‘School’  School’  repeated over in his mind. A word linked to  memories still raw. Glen looked so young, so innocent; Johnny’s polar opposite. It gnawed at him.

“But school is important,” replied Johnny. “And ah, I should get back. Stay safe, buddy.”

I am terrified, I think too much I get emotional when I drink too much I buy every cry, ‘cause I don’t trust I am terrified, I think too much

This night seemed to go better than he had expected, meeting this man was certainly worth the trouble of getting himself across town just to take some pictures. “Don’t worry, I’m not scared” He said with a small smile, mixed with that smirk he always wore, his eyes still on the man as he nodded his head. “Yeah, I’ll probably get and A now” He hummed lowly. “So thank you” 

[johnny-stratton]

Johnny bit back a smutty retort. He really needed to get his mind of the gutter and behave - for once.  He looked away, breaking eye contact.

 “How can they even grade art anyway? I thought its all subjective?”

“How generous of you” He said with a light smile before blew out some of the smoke, his shoulder leaned against the brick wall as he let his eyes trail over the man as he seemed to think about what to say. His smile got even wider though as he heard what he had to say. “Oh I am sure you do” He chuckled lightly before he licked his lower lips. 

[johnny-stratton]

That look Glen gave him, while slowly licking those lips. Damn! It took a moment for Johnny to collect his thoughts. 

“Err, yeah, I guess I seem pretty sketchy, lurking in an alleyway. Did it at least work for your photograph?” asked Johnny, gesturing at Glen’s camera.

“That does sound boring, yeah” He said with a short laugh as he nodded his head. He told him he had found something more interesting with him and he pulled out a joint the back of his ear, placing it to his mouth as he lit it. “You sure did.” He smirked knowingly before tilting his head to the side. “I’m Glen” He hummed and decided to walk over to the man, as they had been standing quite the distance from each other. “So, did you raise any money?” He asked nonchalantly 

[johnny-stratton]

“Um, I’m not a fundraiser, me buying a ticket and attending is my contribution.” Johnny gave a little shrug. “My good deed for the day. Normally, I prefer to be raising...” Johnny trailed off, gaze running down the younger man. Way too young. “- hell.”

Dean joined the other’s chuckle with a snort. “I wouldn’t be all that surprised if I were you. There was some saying about the forbidden fruit that was supposed to taste sweeter?” Or just good old denial, he shrugged – been there done that. “So you get bored – go visit a church, gamble your money for a living. Sounds like you like living on the edge, huh?”  

[johnny-stratton]

“Yeah....that’s why I moved to Mirror Beach, right?” he said ruefully. It wasn’t his first choice, but one had to be practical. 

Rookie licked his elbow, so Johnny gave his head a quick pat.  “So what do the locals - specifically Dean - do for fun around here? ”

[beckettmarrow-deactivated201612]

-

“Nah.” Dean tapped his fingers over the wheel, glancing at the other every now and then. “I prefer to keep my faith reserved only for TV commercials. What were you doing there anyway, I don’t imagine stadion sized churches hold poker nights.”  

[johnny-stratton]

 “I’d like to see that!  They have christian rappers, christian video games and everything else. Maybe you’re on to an untapped market. Christian gambling nights! Though maybe they’d have to be donating instead of betting.”  Johnny chuckled. “Church normally isn’t my thing, but I was bored and the biggest church in america was nearby, so why not? Surprisingly, there was a fair number of guys on Grindr.”   Johnny shot a look at Dean, gauging his reaction.

“Pleasure’s all mine.. And thanks again, for letting me sit here.” He felt the need to thank him again after realising that his first speech had been said to no one. “It’s not a typical meal for dinner but it could definitely be worse. I mean, who doesn’t love pancakes right?”

[johnny-stratton]

Johnny grinned, pleased his dinner companion was of like mind. Pancakes was a subject close to his heart.

He glanced over at Dylan, absently licking the maple syrup from his lips. “So what’s your story tonight? Going solo or did some moron cancel on you or something?”

[johnny-stratton]

“What I was doing @Burning Man Festival”

[johnny-stratton]

“Don’t give me that look. I swear it was unlocked.”

“I wouldn’t say drunk” He pointed out with a playful little smirk, tilting his head to the side as he said he drew it at half naked hobo. “Such a shame” He chuckled before he lowered his camera again. 

Glen shrugged his shoulders as he asked why he was out there, “Nope, just doing some work for a school project.” He said. “Showing the city in it’s true light and all that” He hummed. “What are you doing out here?” 

[johnny-stratton]

Johnny frowned at the mention of school. Not his favorite topic.  

“Me? Oh, there’s a boring fundraiser in that building over there. I was escaped out the back, looking for something more interesting. I found you, so it worked.” Johnny grinned, aiming for friendly. “I’m Johnny by the way.”

Casper was a bit out of breath from this adventure, the adrenaline still rushing through his system and making his heart race a little, though he also couldn’t hide his wide grin, hardly keeping himself from laughing at the silly prank they had just done. “I hear Canada’s nice, but then again Mexico is closer and also I feel like hanging out at the beach to relax in the sun and go for a swim - I feel like Mexico’s the better plan for that”, he chuckled. “So, what’s my reward actually for risking a life in prison here? Besides you paying for the plane tickets to Mexico, of course”, Casper added jokingly.

[johnny-stratton]

Johnny had to admit, that was some sound reasoning. He liked the idea of being on the beach with Casper too.

“What’s your reward?” repeated Johnny, leaning in close. His pulse thudded in his chest. This is that moment. Casper’s expecting a kiss. “Well...” he murmured, looking up into those blue-green eyes. “Mr Young & Gorgeous...” Johnny’s hand moved up on it’s own accord, smooshing Casper’s cheek with his frappe’s whipped cream.  “Ohmigo! Your face!!” Johnny burst out laughing, falling back against the wall. “I had to!” he gasped.

“Actually – yeah, I think you’re quite full of it.” Dean nodded laughing. “I also think you like bullshitting people a little too much.” He added tossing a look over his shoulder as he put the car in reverse and then turned his attention back on Johnny, with Rookies head placed between their seats.

“A lot of traveling, huh?” Relaxing some in his seat Dean stretched an arm outside the opened window. “So where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever been?” If the guy spent that much time bouncing off from one hotel room to another there were bound to be some stories there. “I’m sort of unemployed at the moment.” He shrugged.  

[johnny-stratton]

Johnny put the window all the way down, letting the breeze cool him.  he decided not to correct Dean’s assumption. No point to it anyway.

“Yeah, I’ve been all over. Um, the weirdest place I’ve been to....a normal person would pick Burning Man festival, I’ve been a few times. But for me, was this huge stadium sized church in Houston. It was so surreal.” Johnny shuddered, remembering the horror of it.

“No offense if you’re a christian yourself,” Johnny quickly added.
