Wes & Jamie ~ Hideout
Daphne had been on her road trip with her friend since yesterday, and Jamie wanted to use his second night home alone to check out Hawkins a bit more and maybe make some more connections that could come in handy later. After his shift at Enzo’s, he headed over to the Hideout. He grabbed a beer at the bar and hung back at first, just casually observing the few people there while sipping his drink. His attention eventually landed on a guy about his age sitting alone at the bar with a drink. Jamie had already asked around and gotten a feel for Hawkins, so he knew this guy was the deputy sheriff. Normally, that was exactly the kind of person Jamie should stay far away from. But then again… wouldn’t it be useful to be on good terms with a cop? Lately, Jamie hadn’t exactly been thinking things through, so right now, it actually seemed like a pretty good idea.
So he walked over with his beer and slid onto the barstool next to Wes. When the guy glanced over to see who’d just sat down, Jamie gave him an easy, open smile and raised his beer in a casual toast. “Hey,” he said. “Cheers.” Jamie took a sip but kept his eyes on the deputy. “I’m Jamie,” he added, friendly as ever, still smiling. “I haven’t been in Hawkins that long, so this is my first time at this place. You come here a lot?” Jamie smirked a little, amused, taking another sip of his beer while keeping his new acquaintance in his sights. / @wesvale-ste
