Falco Hawthorne

I scream too loud if I speak my mind.

Realizing how incredibly hideous he was making his powers seem to be, Nick decided to pull another slightly more appealing parlor trick. Manipulating the aging process and focusing his energy like before, he brought the tree back to its original form. Decayed branches and leaves sprung back to their vibrant colors. “I can also turn back the hands of time. Pretty nifty, huh?” Nick then proceeded to use his powers on himself. The hairs on his face regressed until he was clean-shaven and a baby face. He chuckled before returning his scruffy beard. “Okay, then. I want to see Superman shoot for me,” Nick replied boldly, leaning forward to give the brunette another quick peck on the lips. “Better yet, maybe we’d be able to do it together. I think that’d be really fun.”

“Damn, man,” he said in awe, “Your powers are way snazzier than mine. I can only coat weapons in poison or make kisses taste better,” he said self-deprecatingly as he scratched the back of his head. “You look like you were an utterly cute baby,” Falco said smiling, showing off his white teeth. “And well, if you do want to see it by yourself, you could come with me to my place. Just say the word and I’ll be pumping in while I have your legs above my shoulders,” he said, biting his lip and smiling as the other proposed switching places, “I’d love  to do anything together with you.”

“Falco?” It took a moment for Bradley to connect the pieces, years since the others smaller frame had developed into the man he was now right in front of him. “Holy shit, it’s been a while.” Nodding as he embraced the man, giving a nice big squeeze before letting go and seeing how Falco’s coworkers were curious as to what was going on. “Sorry to bother though, not sure what’s going on but i’d love to catch up if you got a moment. Man, it’s been too long.” Taking another look at the man, surprised to see such a blast from the past as he continued to reestablish himself back in Satuario. He gave the other a quick nod, not wanting to take up too much of the other’s time.

“It has been,” he agreed. “You look so much older, man. Damn. And I mean that as a good thing,” he assured the other, patting the other on the back before pulling back from the hug. It’d definitely been a while. He remembered one or two nights in which he’d shared his lips with the other in some drunken stupor. Did Brad remember those too? “Well, I’m actually free right now, if you are.” he said, taking his coat from the chair in which he’d been sitting not too long ago. He was honestly glad he got to leave his coworkers. They were a bore. ″I’d love to catch up as well, you look like you’ve been through a lot, and then some,” he complimented the other, gently punching his arm playfully.

As their conversation took a rather lewd turn, Nick found himself grinning wickedly in response to the suggestive comment. He certainly didn’t expect that to come from Falco, but the surprise was a welcomed one, at least in his eyes. Slowly but surely he was getting to know Falco better. Nick liked this side of the brunette already. “Oh? And where exactly is Superman planning to shoot these other things, hm?” he teased, curious as to how detailed Falco can be. Nick wanted to hear what his studly hero explicitly planned to do. “But you must admit, I don’t think it’s much of a cool power since I can do it too,” the brown-haired male added with a snicker. When Falco asked about his Gifted talents, he pondered for a second before walking over to a nearby tree. Focusing his energy, he caused the branches to rapidly rot and decay. Leaves shriveled up and turned to ash before even getting the chance to touch the soil below. “I can mostly manipulate age. See how I’m accelerating its time?”

“Oh, wow,” he said, appreciating how the tree changed drastically in appearance in just a few seconds, “Yeah, I can definitely see it. I love it,” he congratulated the other. He was honestly really liking Nick, and not just for his good looks, but also because apparently he looked like he knew how to take a joke and also turn it around, and suddenly, he found that extremely attractive. “Well, even if it’s a power that we share, I can assure you that it is still quite worth your while,” he teased, giving Nick’s hand a gentle squeeze. “I’m guessing he could show a certain boy his powers in a place not so far away from this one.”

Another kiss was placed on his lips, but Nick didn’t hesitate or freeze in place like he did before. Instead, he returned it, pleased to start growing familiar with the taste of Falco’s warm mouth. He led them both out of the cinema, fingers still entwined as they walked alongside one another. Nick listened to the brunette speak and describe his powers. Santuario was filled with so many incredibly Gifted individuals. “Here I thought you’d have super strength, can fly, and shoot lasers out of your eyes,” he teased with a cheeky grin. Although, Nick was happy the handsome hero didn’t fall under the stereotypes. “Well, sad to say I’m not your average Louis Lane. You see, I’m able to manipulate time to an extent,” Nick explained, enjoying their leisurely stroll and the playful exchange of nerdy references. From a distance he could see some trees and greenery which should be the park Falco told him about earlier. 

He felt an overload of sensations as he’d kissed Nick’s lip, and he found himself not having enough of it. He probably never would. Falco then resumed to listen intently to the handsome man go on and speak about his abilities. “Well, I may not shoot out lasers from eyes, but there are  still other things I can shoot out that I think you’d rather like,” he said cheekily, wiggling his eyebrows and hoping Nick would take it as what it was: a joke. “And time manipulation? Wow. That’s... substantial. What can you do with it?” Before he knew it, they found themselves already in the park he’d been talking about. earlier. “So what do you think?” It was a lush ambiance with a small artificial lake in the middle and trees blooming in purple above a few iron-wrought benches.

He had been hungover a few days ago but it didn’t mean he couldn’t enjoy casual beer and a burger at Mama’s Diner, making sure to tip extra well for the services and what this place represented to their community. He took a sip and popped a french fry into his mouth as he overheard someone in a group nearby, brows furrowed as the voice sounded so familiar. “Hey, i’m sorry to butt in.” Bradley tapped the man on the shoulder, hoping to not be too much of an intrusion. “But you seem familiar, any idea on how I might know ya?”

Falco had gone out with a few colleagues from work to go grab a shake from Mama’s. Falco, feeling like he had a rather sweet tooth, decided to go for a Snicker’s milkshake. The conversation was interesting, albeit a bit forced and slow-paced, so he’d been trying to liven it up when he felt a tap on the shoulder. Feeling a bit annoyed at first at the intruder of the conversation, Falco had turned around to face what he expected to be a stranger, but only to find a familiar face. He couldn’t quite place his name. Was it Bryan? No... Bradley. And upon the realisation of his name, the memories flashed in his mind from years ago, back in High School. “Brad?” He asked, his eyes lighting up as he completely forgot about his work colleagues and stood up to hug the other.

Just when he thought they were about to part ways, Nick was baffled to find a pair of lips dive in to steal s kiss from him. He simply blinked before eventually smiling giddily. The two pecks he gave Falco earlier finally got him one in return. Nick went ahead and slowly took hold of the brunette’s hand before proceeding to intertwined their fingers together in a loving manner. “To be quite honest, I’d be pretty sad to watch my hero fly away already. I just figured you were a busy man,” he explained, which was an even bigger reason for him to get to know Falco better. Perhaps the two of them will get the chance at the park the handsome stud suggested. A slightly more private setting, perfect for talking, unlike the theater. “Well, I guess Santuario is out of luck. I have Superman all too myself for the rest of the evening.” A wicked smirk graced his face as he inched closer and draped both arms over Falco’s shoulder. “Speaking of which, I still have yet to see what powers you possess. Show me yours and I’ll do the same?” Nick asked, delighted to share this part of his life with him. 

“Well, I got out of work right before finding your wallet, so while I am a bit busy usually, I’m free for the rest of the day,” he admitted, before giving Nick another soft kiss, this time full on the lips once he’d placed his arms above Falco’s shoulders. He was excited to find more about the handsome man in front of him and hopefully see where things would lead to. “Well, this Superman that is yours to take advantage of for the rest of the day is actually not endowed with snazzy powers. I can manipulate chemistry, but it such a vast power that I only know how to master toxins, poisons and acids so far,” he shrugged, “I can also generate a few weakened hormones, but I’m still working on those. How about you?”

With the two of them sharing a straw, it was almost like he kissed Falco after each sip. Perhaps he was being childish, but Nick truthfully felt giddy around him. A short while has pissed since he’s enjoyed someone’s company this much. He brought small handfuls of popcorn into his mouth as the film continued. Nick didn’t care much for the movie, actually preferring to cozy up against the brunette more than anything. Every second spent with him felt like utter bliss.  He then smiled to himself and rested his head on Falco’s broad shoulder. Bringing his fingers upwards slightly, he was granted the privilege of feeling those bulging biceps. Once and a while, Nick subtly gave them a small squeeze.

The credits rolled and everybody rose up from their seats. Nick picked up his candy wrappers along with any trash he left behind before finally walking out of the theater. Before reaching the cinema’s exit, he offered Falco another smile. “Thanks again for returning my wallet. Oh, and the movie too,” he spoke and chuckled softly. “My heart’s beating pretty fast right now,” Nick added, although the reason wasn’t because of the movie. However, Falco didn’t need to know the details. “I uh… think we’re still both pretty full from the popcorn. How about we take a rain check on Mama’s? Besides, I’m sure Superman has to rescue other damsels in distress out there~” he teased, not necessarily pushing for Falco to leave but didn’t want to occupy more of his time. 

He would be lying if he said he hadn’t thoroughly enjoyed the movie with Nick. His company had been simple, yet very welcome. He had felt nervous, and excited for going out with such an attractive guy like him, but he didn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable at all, and he appreciated that. It was hard to find hot guys nowadays that didn’t have their heads stuck up their butts. Plus, he felt so validated... and appreciated as well. No other guy felt him up.  By the time the movie was done, he was on cloud nine.

By the time they were right outside of the exit, Falco dove in and gave Nick a soft, moist kiss on the corner of his lips. “Don’t worry about it, really. Thanks for the food. And I could say just the same thing about my own heart. And while we both may be really full, I’m gonna go on a limp and say neither of us want this to be quite over. How about we go to this park that’s really close to my place? It’s where I go to think. I think you might like it. And unfortunately, Superman is off-duty right now. He rescued not a damsel, but a boy, and he’s too keen on him to let him go just yet.”

The cost of food and drinks in the movie theater were unfairly high. Nick only now remembered why he typically waited for guys to be the one that get snacks for him. Still, a small price to pay for having great company next to him. Once situated on his seat, Nick placed the soda on the cup holder between them. “I forgot to bring another straw. Do you mind sharing? I promise I’m not sick,” he spoke in the same whisper as before. Nick didn’t want to be shushed, especially since everybody demanded silence. The mention of a romantic comedy trailer earned a soft chuckle from him. “Well lucky for you, I actually enjoy Chick Flicks,” Nick retorted, shooting the brunette a playful wink. He was pleased to hear Falco actually thought ahead and planned to spend more time with him. 

Once the movie started, Nick knew to shut his mouth and stop talking. He gave Falco another kiss, this time, on his temple before focusing on the screen. As previously mentioned, Nick wasn’t a very jumpy person. However, he was able to use a few frightening scenes to wrap an arm around Falco and cuddle next to him.He even let out a small gasp, putting on a scared facade. 

——

Falco chuckled, “No, I don’t mind sharing at all,” he admitted before the show started. And then Nick agreed to going out a second time with him, and he was probably the happiest man on earth at that moment. He felt like today had just been a consecutive sequence of score after score after score. He noticed how much food the other had bought for them and figured they wouldn’t have to go to Mama’s afterwards as they’d both be pretty full by the end of the film. Still, he wanted to get to know Nick better, so he made a mental note to ask him out to go somewhere after the film.

As the film played out, he made sure to be very discreet about his advances on the other, but also made sure to make them look noticeable enough to be tasteful. Any time there was a jump scare, he felt Nick wrapping his arms around his own, and he always made sure to gently flex his arms to make himself appear stronger to make Nick feel protected. He didn’t know how much was actually Nick’s fear or how much it was an excuse for them to get closer together, but he found it endearing nonetheless and couldn’t stop grinning; a stark contrast in demeanour to the ambiance that the movie purported. Eventually, he wrapped his arm around Nick’s shoulders and pulled him in, willing the other to rest his head on Falco’s shoulder.

Even though it was just a display of playfulness, he took a particular liking to the impressive muscle bulging from underneath Falco’s sleeve. The brunette was handsome and fit. He had to fantasize about what the rest of his body looked like. Nick wasn’t expecting himself to get attracted  to somebody he just met so easily. Nevertheless, Falco captured his interest in the best of ways, allowing him to dismiss any qualms or the typical ‘stranger danger’ warning signs. “My hero~” Nick teased with a grin. “I might just start calling you Superman from now on.”

It was probably unwise to be so forwardly flirting with a guy he’s only known for less than an hour. However, Falco didn’t seem to mind and actually returned a few of his gestures. As they planned, Nick bought a large bag of popcorn, a soda, and some candies before entering the movie room. He looked around and spotted Falco, greeting him with a simply “hey.” Nick took his seat right next to the brunette and smiled. “Did I miss anything interesting?” the brown-haired male asked in a whisper. 

He hadn’t been able to contain himself but to smile at the Superman remark, and he found himself still thinking about it as the trailers rolled on. He felt guilty for it, but he noticed that he’d really love it if Nick called him Superman and that made him feel childish, but he couldn’t deny it. His mind still couldn't register what the hell was happening. Less than an hour ago, he’d been about to head home alone to probably just sulk and grieve his younger siblings for the nth time in five years, but now he seemed to be moving on, and he was glad for it.

Before he knew it, Nick was sitting next to him and waving at him. “Oh. Hey. And no, you didn’t miss anything important. It is just about to start,” he helped the other place the food and distribute it among the two of them, raising the armrest in between them. “You can place the soda on your side,” he recommended. That way, both of them could still have contact without that obnoxious division. “Oh, you did miss this one thing,” he said, “The trailer about this romcom that’s coming out next week that we’re coming to see.” He stated, but flinched, hoping he wasn’t being too straightforward of intense.

With all the horrors Nick has witnessed in the past, he doubted a scary movie would phase him even in the slightest. He was actually looking forward to using frightening scenes to inch closer to Falco and sneaking a cuddle or two. The brunette didn’t seem to mind his presence in the least bit. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered the ticket in the first place. “Yes, that’s perfectly fine. I could use a heart-racer,” Nick assured him with a kind smile. “It’s also nice having a strong man by my side to protect me should anything happen~” he teased with a lighthearted laugh. 

The amount of effort Falco put into making their time together at the theater was endearing but unnecessary. Nick simply chuckled and nodded his head. “If memory serves me right, reserving seats doesn’t typically work unless you’re physically present. Especially if somebody steals them anyways,” he argued with a shrug of his shoulders. Nick then proceeded to place a chaste peck on the brunette’s forehead. “I’ll be okay. And I promise not to run away, either. I’ll be there once I grabbed some snacks.” He smiled and walked over to the line at the food court. 

Falco’s lips curled upwards as soon as Nick accepted to watch the horror movie. You’re enough of a heart-racer for me, he thought, but didn’t voice his thoughts. What he did do, however, was playfully flex his arm at Nick’s comment about having a strong man beside him. “Nothing bad will happen, I’ll make sure of it,” he soothed the other with a small chuckle. 

“Okay. Then I’ll go find the seats,” he conceded and was about to turn around when he felt a gently kiss on his forehead. Falco gulped. Woah. He sure must’ve been doing something right if he’d received a small peck and a date with such an attractive and handsome guy. Things usually didn’t go this way for him, but apparently today was his lucky day. Once inside, he found two free seats which were right in the middle, although two rows behind his preferred one. He sat down on one of them and placed his jacket over the seat of the other to reserve it for Nick.

Seeing Falco present him with two tickets right on the spot was pretty peculiar. However, he thought nothing much of it and decided why let a perfectly good opportunity to watch a movie go to waste? Who was he to say no? “Sure, I’d love to,” Nick replied, more than happy to take the man up on his offer. He even latched their arms together as they walked inside the theater. “So what are we watching? Action? Romance? Comedy?” he inquired, not particularly picky but curious as to what Falco wanted to see. Perhaps a horror movie, as it’ll give him a chance to cuddle up with the brunette. A bit of wishful thinking, but what’s the harm on having an imagination. 

Once inside, he let go of Falco’s arm and chuckled. There will be time for physical contact later. “Why don’t you go on ahead and find us good seats. I’ll get some snacks while the trailers are playing,” he suggested, beckoning to the long line at the food court. Besides, it was the least he could do for a free movie and the guy who returned his wallet. 

At first, Falco didn’t how to contain his excitement. Had this really worked? He couldn’t really begin to process the whole situation, and he didn’t even make himself do it “Well, it’s called Shrieking in Salem: The Reckoning, so I’m guessing it’s a horror movie...” he said nonchalantly before widening his eyes.

“Wait. Is that alright? I forgot not everyone likes horror movies. I honestly just bought tickets to the first show available. Maybe I can still go and change them if you’d like?” He asked, wanting to satisfy Nick in any and every way possible. He’d just had a shot of good luck and he didn’t want to blow it over the small details. “If you’re okay with it just say the word and I’ll go ahead and find us some good seats,” he reassured the other with a gentle chuckle. “And are you sure you’re good here in the queue on your own? I can reserve some seats and then come back to make you some company,” he offered.

From a few videos Nick has seen in the internet, these types of scenarios typically don’t happen in real life. He certainly wasn’t expecting a ridiculously handsome man to be the one standing there in front of him. Nick offered a grateful bow of his head and retrieved the missing wallet. A short gander inside guaranteed him that everything was in place. Even the forty dollars in cash was still there where he left it. “I can’t begin to thank you,” Nick spoke and sheepishly scratched the back of his head. “But I really appreciate your kindness. This saves me the time and effort of getting new cards. Quite the hassle.” 

Awkwardly shifting back and forth on his knees, Nick decided to reciprocate the man’s generous gesture. “So, Falco? How about I treat you to lunch or something?” he offered, and subtly eyed the man from top to bottom once more. Falco was incredibly stunning to look at. “My way of saying thank you.” A burger at Mama’s Diner sounded pretty good at that moment. Nick figured it’d be even better with company. 

He was surprised at the ease of the interaction and smiled pleasantly at Nick. These sort of human exchanges restored his faith in humanity. “You don’t have to thank me. I did what is expected of a decent human being to do,” he shrugged, but was still grateful that Nick had genuinely thanked him for the gesture. “And yeah, I get that. I’m glad you don’t have to go through that whole process because it’s tiresome and frustrating.”

And just when he’d been about to sheepishly as the other out to watch the movie with him, he’d been asked out for lunch instead. This, in turn, took out a big toothed smile from Falco, revealing his slightly sharp canines that added up to the grin’s charm. “Well, actually...” he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly “I had bought us tickets to go inside the cinema. The film starts in about 15 minutes. Perhaps, if you’d like, we could watch it and then I’d wholeheartedly accept your offer of treating me to Mama’s. How’s that sound?”

With news of his wallet being found, Nick’s day took a turn for the better. Part of him was hesitant to meet up with a random stranger. His parents may not have been present to teach him about proper behavior and conduct, but he was wise enough to know what to do on certain situations. Nevertheless, Nick planned to rely on his powers should things go poorly. The brown-haired male liked to think he could hold his own on a fight, despite lacking combat training. Still, Nick walked out of his apartment and followed the directions to the location he was given. He needed his debit card and license. 

Finally, Nick arrived to the location on his phone. GPS led him to the cinema the stranger spoke of in their phone conversation and he looked around. He eventually stumbled upon a handsome brunette who appeared harmless enough. “Hi,” Nick greeted and presented him with a small smile. “Do you happen to be the one who called about my missing wallet?”

After a short drive to the cinema in Mission Street, hovering near the ticket booth with two tickets of the next movie, which started in 15 minutes. He felt awkward, to say the least. Wrong, even. He wasn’t used to manipulating situations like this, and perhaps it was wrong of him to even try, but he also couldn’t deny that he was significantly excited to see how things would pan out. Could he end up having a date in the cinema with the guy whose wallet he’d found in the floor? 

Eventually, the guy from the ID got closer to Falco and asked him if he’d been the one who’d found his wallet. Naturally, Falco nodded coolly and offered him a fresh smirk. “Yep. I’m Falco,” he offered the other a hand with the wallet in it. ”Here you go. Check it inside out, everything should be in there,” he assured. 

[toxicfalco]

Retracing his steps was a lot more difficult than Nick originally thought, even for somebody who can manipulate time like himself. He traveled to so many places on this particular day, making pinpointing the exact location of his missing item pretty difficult. Both his debit cards and license were in that wallet. Whoever found it had a sum of about four hundred dollars and a movie coupon — lucky them. Still, Nick was hopeful he’d find the pesky thing inside his apartment. As he checked the cushions of the sofa, Nick heard his phone ringing with an unfamiliar number on the screen. “Hello,” he answered, wondering who was on the other side. 

Much to his relief, the stranger informed him that the missing wallet was in his possession. “Ah, yes! Thank you so much. My name is Nicholas Halo,” he replied, confirming his identity. “Can we meet up somewhere?” Preferably a public location as to prevent any shady business. Nick had the capability to defend himself but he’d rather not resort to violence. 

toxicfalco:

"Okay, everything seems in order. I found your ID. And sure,” he said smirking. In the picture, the other guy looked pretty cute. He wanted to ask him out but it felt weird to do so, specially because he didn’t even know if this guy swung that way, and didn’t even know what Falco looked like. “I’m right outside the cinema in Mission Street,” he lied, although it was pretty close to where he was, “I can give it to you if you come here,” he offered, pursing his lips slightly as a way to wish for the best.

It’d been a while since he’d gone out. Even to a restaurant. He used to love going to parties but after his siblings’ deaths he’d just sort of isolated himself as a way to grieve for them. Now, he felt like he was ready to start a new cycle and hopefully this mysterious man and his mysterious wallet could become a part of this. Falco believed that everything happened for a reason, so why would this be an exception?

[toxicfalco]

With the last digit typed in, Falco dialled the number on his phonescreen, tapping his fingers against the back hardcase as he waited for the person on the other end of the line to pick up. He’d been about to hop into his char, ready to go home when he’d noticed from the corner of his eye a wallet on the edge of the sidewalk. 

He’d looked through it, until he’d found an ID. He ran his thumb along the name as mentally he read it. On the backside, it had a phone number, and he’d decided to call. Eventually, the other end picked up, “Hey, uh, I found a wallet in the street and it had this phone number in it, so I’m guessing it’s yours. Wait—what’s your name? Just trying to make sure this is the right number, y’know?”
