9, 12, 14, 28

9 - are you an artist?

     “ OF PIZZA? YEP DEFINITELY. I paint sometimes, but that usually involves whiskey, beer, wine, or a nice cocktail. ”

12 - dog person or cat person?

( can be found here. )

14 - are you a musician?

     “ NOPE. MY PARENTS HAD ME in piano lessons until i found a way to get out of them. i always wanted to learn guitar, but i just never ended up finding the time. ”

28 - on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it for someone to get under your skin?

     “ IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON, what is said, the smell of the air, temperature of the room, how much i’ve slept, wind speed, my health, the size of their pores, hairstyle, decibel of their voice, and what han ate for breakfast. ”

[whirrrbleep]

12. dog or cat person?

     “ BOTH? I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD be both. though i haven’t had either for so long. i just camp out at other people’s places and make their pets like me more. ”

chester daniels

Chester flipped through his mail at the front desk, tired eyes scanning the pages morosely. Yet another Valentine’s Day was coming, and so he’d worked himself to ensure his Inn was in tip-top shape for the evening. He didn’t look up as the door opened, the gentle chime alerting him that someone had come in. “I trust you’re here to make a reservation? I may have a couple rooms, but I’m not entirely sure…” he mused aloud, rifling through the last pages of mail.

     RICH KNEW THIS WAS CHESTER’S busiest time of the year, but that hardly ever stopped him from visiting him. especially when he knew it could bug him just a little. he all but skipped up to the front desk, grinning even more noticing his friend hadn’t looked up yet. there was little warning. he shrugged a bit, though he probably didn’t see it before he leaned on the desk towards him. “ couple rooms left? wow, apple peak’s getting rusty with testing your room capacity. ”

Megan snickered, a brief hint of a real smile appearing on her face. Some of the guys in this town actually got it. What a damn relief. Megan didn’t hate ALL men after all… just the entitled bastards who thought they owned everything because they had a sad excuse for a dick. “Those are two drinks on opposite ends of the spectrum.” Megan noted, quirking her brows. “Not bad though. I don’t usually like pina coladas, but I can appreciate a man brave enough to drink them in public.”

     RICH SHRUGGED, NOT REALLY CONSIDERING himself brave, but more knowing what he liked. if you were going to pay money for something, you needed to enjoy it fully. sure alcohol had the purpose of getting you drunk, but rich always lived under the philosophy of enjoying the trip to tipsy and eventually drunk. “ there’s at least two songs i can think of involving pina coladas that are sung by men, but regardless of that, i think guys too chicken to drink a drink will lead a sad life. ”

luke skylark

many have confided in luke. he’s never been so sure what makes his advice any better than anyone else’s, but he’s always been happy to be there for people. especially those he cares about. it comes naturally, helping others. his heart has always been golden, knowing no hate. he doesn’t even consider the fact that this is such a roll swap between himself and rich. all his life, rich’d been the one keeping him from drowning. now it’s luke’s turn to keep him from drowning. he’s never once left a loved one in the dark.

the phrase hits him with nostalgia. for a moment he’s thrown down memory lane. it’d always been such a rich saying, and always will be. after all these years, he’s beginning to believe it. he smiles a bit, looking forward, and only nods. what rich is saying about making it louder is something luke understands all too well. it takes a lot of work. “it’s not easy,” he states, not looking over yet. “it’s a hard battle, but you’re also strong enough to win it,” he shakes his head. “it won’t be like this forever. everything just takes time.”

     RICH WASN’T SURE WHAT HE would’ve done if he didn’t have luke. for the most part, everyone had been understanding, but who really mattered the most was luke and leah. both had very drastically opposite reactions upon his return, and he was sure he deserved leah’s more than luke’s, but he was grateful for luke’s. he kept him together and he wasn’t sure what he’d have done if he’d have turned his back on him too.

     he nods along with what he said. it would take time, but it was so hard to see the time in the abstract at the moment. and he would convince himself of the words for the time being, but he knew he’d be back to this thought in not much time. he just would keep thinking about it as luke said it. he was the wise one in this situation and rich could tether to the words and the memory of his voice when he needed it. he just hoped that the time would be shorter rather than longer. 

     he looked back at luke after a moment, changing the mood a little. “ who do you think’s gonna kiss who at midnight? i kinda wanna see if phil just kisses his beer bottle like last year or if he actually is serious this year. i don’t pay attention to his love life enough. but i think he pays attention to it even less. ”

adelaide darling

Adelaide couldn’t help but snicker. “We’ll go shopping one day and I’ll show them to you. It’s just an extra fancy conditioner essentially.” She described with a small shrug. She frowned a little at him, biting her lip. “You were hurt then too, you would understand.” Adelaide confirmed with a soft sigh. “But I’ll be okay… I’m getting better faster now that I’m at Bentley and Phil’s. It doesn’t hurt so bad to say his name anymore.”

     RICH LAUGHED LIGHTLY, SHAKING HIS head a bit. “ okay, as long as my hair doesn’t sprout eyes or something because it has a mask on it. ” he was really just being dumb since he knew mask being used in this differently than a face mask. not that he really knew how it worked otherwise, but he knew it worked differently. he smiled sadly at her, wishing she wasn’t having to go through this, but knowing everyone did. He’d had a number of failed relationships in his life and maybe he wasn’t exactly as hurt when they ended because he always had something to fall back on for his attention or he wasn’t as invested in the relationship as he should’ve been, but he knew the loneliness that started to take hold and make it difficult to even think about the other person. “ that’s good though. you deserve to have something else to think about and feel better. ”

bentley eyles

if there’s one person who knows how to have fun, it’s rich. he wouldn’t put down the rest of the group or accuse them of being boring ( which they aren’t, of course ), but in bentley’s opinion, rich is the one who takes the prize. maybe it simply just ties in with his feelings, but he can’t be sure. even before he was aware he had feelings for him, he’d admired that of rich. it’d always been a fun time when he was around. “exactly,” he smiles, glad to have made the point. “i think we’ve already got this one in the bag.”

he nods at rich’s words. as unfortunate as it is, at least a couple things worked out. thor was gonna be great regardless, and he had high expectations for the other. having yet to see it for himself, he’ll make a mental note to invite rhi over for a watch, one of these days. “she did, yeah,” he responds. “have you seen the murder mystery re-make one? ‘cause i was thinking, maybe i could find it somewhere and invite rhi over. and you too— if you’re interested,” he shrugs gently, “popcorn and pizza, all that good stuff. maybe even make it into a movie night, or somethin’.”

     STROKING HIS COMPETITIVE NATURE IS exactly what he’d come to expect from bentley. it excited him, having a partner in this war against han and his asses. “ we definitely have the upper hand, han isn’t even gonna have time to be shocked. ” he was already imagining the look on his face, but he was sure it was going to be even better than he imagined. just like how actually winning was going to be better than the figurative feeling he had right now.

     “ actually no i haven’t. and i haven’t read the book or watched the old movie so i don’t know who did it either, so yeah i’m definitely interested. ” he grinned, already feeling the anticipation filling him up. he could be happy if watching it with bentley and rhi would happen in the next second. but then remembering it was new years, there was a party going on behind him, there was still a kiss to be had, he felt the anticipation for the nearer future more strongly. “ i mean you said the magic words ‘movie night’ so i’m always there for that. ”

“That is true, but don’t you know the women are usually put at fault for these things?” Megan asked with arched brows before taking a sip of her drink. There wasn’t as much venom in her tone as there normally might have been. This guy didn’t seem half bad, at least not yet. “Eh, drink of choice is usually anything with booze in it. Whiskey just sounded better than anything else. What about you? Do you have a preference or are you just a copy cat?” Megan asked with a hint of a smirk.

     “ OH YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT I forgot guys are never at fault for anything because our egos need to be kept pristine otherwise the world’ll end. ” rich really hated this world sometimes. it was ridiculous how women were always blamed for things done to them and god forbid they stand up for themselves. he laughed a bit, but mostly in agreement with what she said. “ maybe a bit of both. copycat’s not such a bad thing when the other person has good tastes, but i usually find myself drinking whiskey or a pina colada and not much in between. ”

Adelaide couldn’t help but snort, shaking her head at him. “My hair routine is coconut water shampoo and conditioner, sometimes I put in a hair mask for an added boost.” She shrugged, pushing a hand through her blonde locks and grinning down at her friend. “I know I would. Phil would let me know if he was annoyed or if something was bothering him.. but you know me, I’m better at taking care of people than having them take care of me.”

      “ HAIR MASK? OKAY, I TRY to sound well-versed in a lot of new trends or whatever, but what’s a hair mask? and why? ” he’d heard about the coconut water stuff being good for both drinking and hair, but he wasn’t sure what to make of a hair mask. “ i understand... it was hard taking help with everything before. maybe my feelings were a bit different because of the guilt and where it came from, but i understand. ”

“ Would you just stay still for one god-damn for one second??! ”  Kyle complained, sketching furiously on his sketch pad.

     “ UHH WHY? JEEZ CALM DOWN a little i’m just standing here. ” he glanced down at what he was doing. “ ohhh, drawing... why? ”

[whirrrbleep]

“Hmm.” Was all Megan said in response, taking another sip of her drink. Why would he be here, at a bar that was not his where the drinks were not free, instead of his own? It was none of Megan’s business and truthfully she didn’t care too much to ask. “There you go, your manhandling issues will be somewhat resolved.” Megan said dryly. “And then if they try and come back, aim for the nuts. Maybe it’s dirty but playing dirty is more fun.”

     “ WELL TECHNICALLY, THEY’RE WANTING TO play dirty so, no one could hardly blame going for the nuts. ” rich shrugged. whatever ended up working best in the end was always what he would say go for. assholes deserved it. not that she really had to be told that. judging how efficiently she pushed the guy away, he could tell she knew that well. he sipped his drink before he looked back at her. “ so whiskey? poison of choice or just getting the job done tonight? ”

[whirrrbleep]

“I think Phil knows better than to get freaked out by you asking him about hair.” Adelaide pointed out, wrinkling her nose at him. She couldn’t help but giggle a little. “You could, I’d be a lot more willing to talk than Phil…” Adelaide mused, booping Rich lightly on the end of his nose. “I know, and honestly I would have expected Bentley to do the inviting this time too, but it was Phil.” Adelaide smiled a little, her cheeks going a little pink. “It was sweet of him to invite me. I just feel like I’m imposing, you know?”

     “ I DON’T KNOW, I’M QUITE the intimidating boss. especially when it comes to serious and important questions like this one. ” his lips quivered a little as he tried and failed to keep a straight face. then he shrugged and nodded at the same time before wrinkling his nose when she booped it. “ fair enough, what is your hair routine, then? ” he nodded in agreement with her. not that phil was a bad guy by any means, he just tended to be just a hair more solitary when it came to inviting people over. “ i get that feeling, i really do. but i’m sure you’d know for sure if you were. phil is never quiet if he’s annoyed or feels imposed on. ”

Megan glanced over at the male beside her, quirking her brows at him for a moment. The corner of her mouth lilted up into a smirk, Megan letting out a chuckle. “What, do you have the same trouble I do with drunk pigs manhandling you?” Megan asked dryly before shrugging, their glasses being sat in front of them. “You just aim for something and push off of it. It’s funnier when you shove them away with their face.” She couldn’t help but chuckle again. “And if that doesn’t work, a swift punch or kick to the knee will do.”

     RICH SHRUGGED BEFORE LAUGHING A little. “ not really, but i also don’t go to bars often because i own one but it’s a concern, ” he said, reaching for his glass and taking a drink. “ you know, me being so pretty and all. ” he listened to her closely, nodding along a bit before he smirked when she said something about it being funny to shove their face and then that if it didn’t work he could try taking out their knee. “ noted. face. punch or kick to the knee if needed.”
