Welcome to the Empire City, [FALLON HEXNER]. We hope you are finding everything okay because we know that this city can be difficult to explore. We heard that you are a/an [THIRTY] year old who is a/an [MECHANIC AT NORTH LIBERTY AUTOMOTIVE] and identifies as [HE/HIM], is that true? If so it totally makes sense since people would associate [BETTER IN MY HEAD BY JORDY] with you. Youâve been here since [10 MONTHS] and nobody has told you that you look exactly like [DREW RAY TANNER]?!
History;;
Fallon was born into the typical âwrong side of the tracksâ lifestyle just outside of Portland, Oregon.
His father taught him at a young age how to steal and lie and get what he needed to put food on the table.
Growing up he put no value in school so he dropped out in grade 11 to pursue a job at a mechanicâs shop in Portland.
It was there that his boss taught him the ways of working in a âchop shopâ and it became all he really knew.
He also learned a lot about cars and motorcycles and met some people who got him into street racing.
In his twenties he met the first love of his life, Sidney Norton. He was absolutely nothing like him but his awkward innocence drew him in and calmed down his rebellious nature.
Unfortunately about six months after meeting Sid the chop shop was raided and he needed to get out of town.
So without saying much he left, and he bounced from place to place for a long time.
Now heâs in New York City, hoping itâs far enough away from his past that it wonât catch up with him.
Headcanons;;
He loves working on cars and motorcycles and he takes tremendous pride in his work on them.
Street racing is a huge hobby of his, itâs gotten him arrested a few times though.
He is bisexual
Fallon gets into a lot of fights, he usually carries a switch blade on him, he makes enemies because of his job.
the man couldnât help but grin as fallon grabbed at his side and pulled him against him. sidâs eyes looked down on him before he bent forward to kiss him back. âi better keep seeing you around then..â he whispered, before kissing him one more time. as he straightened up his back he heard fallonâs voice.  âHey- i dont know if you remember but mineâs a piece of shit.. iâve barely gotten to ride it..â he chuckled before he started up his bike again, sid stepped over the bike to straddle it before he sat down, putting his helmet on. arms wrapped around fallonâs body. âoh fuck babyââ
Fallon couldnât wipe the dopey smile off his face whenever he was around Sid, his presence always made him feel like he was walking on some kind of cloud, and he couldnât get enough of it. âtry not to cryâ he teased before starting the trip. Knowing what Fallon could do on his bike he decided to test Sidâs limits, swerving between cars a bit, definitely going over the speed limit. Fallon did a lot of street racing so he typically knew what roads the cops hung out on and where to avoid them. Not entirely sure Sid would love all the activities he planned he figured heâd give it a shot.Â
Taking many detours he made it to the parking lot of the aquarium, parking in the back where no one else was parked he stopped the bike, took off his helmet and got off to check on Sid âdidnât crap yourself did you?â he teased holding his hand out for him.
to say sid was just excited didnât feel like it would even cover it.. there had been so many late nightâs sneaking around that getting day time dates was something else.. heâd been sat waiting, and at the sound of a motorcycle engine he knew who it was.. he grabbed his jacket and opened the door, to see the man sat there. a wide grin spread across his lips. âSomehow i keep finding you hanging out around hereâ making me think you like me or something..â he teased as he grabbed his own helmet, closing his front door and walked up to the man, only stopping when he stood right in front of him.Â
Fallon rolled his eyes at his comment before grabbing his side and pulling him against him ânaw, I just havenât gotten tired of your face yetâ he teased before stealing a kiss from the other. Fallon glanced down at Sidâs helmet and let out a sigh âyou take all the fun out of being able to scare you on this thingâ. Starting the bike back up he waited for Sid to hop on, putting his own helmet on âguess iâll just have to try harder at itâ.
Most times theyâd seen each other lately had been in private behind closed doors, their works schedules just had them both so busy during the day. Fortunately they had both managed to get a day free so Fallon had some plans. He showed up at Sidâs place on his motorcycle, texting him that he was outside. He thought about when Sid used to be scared of rising his bike with him, how funny he thought it was, and he realized it probably wonât be like that anymore.
Seeing Sid he smiled warmly âhey strangerâ.
sid for once couldnât get enough, and no part of him wanted it to end. so as sidney was about to lean forward into the kiss, it was almost like he was about to fall forward as fallon stepped away from him, pulled back from the kiss in the process.. leaving him hovering for a second while his brain tried to not allow itself to be as hurt as it wanted to be.. the man swallowed hard as he leaned his head back, clearing his throat before his hues fell to the ground, quite certain he was to blame somehow.. especially as fallon started apologizing.. making sid start assuming that he had toâve been seeing someone and none of this shouldâve happened.. sid pulled his hands back, shoving them into his jacket.. ââ donât be⌠itâs fineâŚÂ it uh.. just happens..â he said, pulling one of his hands out of his pocket again, nervously biting his little finger as he always did when nerves hit him the absolute worst
He was already beating himself up for ruining the moment, but all those years between when heâd seen him almost felt like a huge amount of time and no time all at the same time. He watched his anxious ticks that he knew all too well and felt even worse, cursing to himself mentally. âI didnât mean toâ he stepped a bit closer again âI just, I donât even know whatâs been going on with you, like you could be seeing someone for all I know and I just threw myself at youâ.
August was happy to hear that the other was up for a shot with him. He smiled as he extended his hand out with one of the shots in that hand so that the other could take it. âAwesome! Thanks!â He said with a big smile as he waited for the other gentleman to take his shot so that they could drink them together. âI enjoy not drinking this alone by myself. Donât want to seem like a loner.â He had a week so he wanted to get drunk but he didnât want to really do it alone.Â
Fallon chuckled and nodded at the other âcheersâ he held up his shot glass before taking it back quickly, making a small face before he was over it and placed the shot glass back down on the counter. âItâs way more fun to drink with companyâ he agreed âso any reason youâre here? or did boredom overtake you?â
It wasnât often that Jackie drove around, especially living in a place like New York. A lot of time sheâd use public transportation, a taxi or a driver her family had. But today she was going to drive out to another city to help teach a dance class. Just her luck though she barely got down a few blocks before her car started to act up. She was able to get it pulled over before she sighed. Yes, she could try to look at the car but what would she know? She glanced up and noticed what looked like a shop for cars and walked in. âHey there, my car just started acting up. Making this odd noise after I start it. Is there someone who could take a look at it?â
Fallon grabbed the cloth from his back pocket and wiped his hands on it before tossing it onto a work bench and walking over to the red head âyeah, I can probably take a look at it, iâm not that busyâ. Fallon looked her up and down and nodded, she looked like someone whoâd have a decent car with some pretty high value parts, his boss would be happy.
the second sidâs back hit something, something in him clicked back into place, his hands gripped onto him as his kiss only got hungrier and more desperate, scared if he opened his eyes, it would all be another bad dream, because heâd needed this.. heâd needed to feel fallon again. to feel alive for the first time in almost 5 years, and he refused to let the chance pass him by.
Fallon felt himself lost in the kiss before it sort of hit him that as much as he knew Sidney he didnât really know him that well anymore, it had been so many years and he didnât even know if he was seeing anyone. As much as he didnt want to he forced himself to step back and break the kiss, catching his breath as he watched him âfuck-â he muttered running a hand through his hair âiâm sorry, that was..yeah, iâm sorryâ. It was his turn to fumble over his words.
after fallon left and later after everything with the mother of his child had happened, sid had almost come to the conclusion that he wasnât meant to be with anyone. that anyone being with him was bad luck, so he hadnât seen anyone in over 3 years. so as soon as fallon pulled back and sid felt large hand hold onto his face, the three words ringing in his ears before the distantly familiar taste of his lips was all over his own. the man returned the kiss by holding his face back, tasting his lips before managing to whisper the words back in return. âi missed youââ almost scared to say it too loud
Fallon heard the words, barely above a whisper and he couldnât think anymore, everything between them rushed to him and he kissed him harder, moving his hands to his hips and pushing him backwards til his back was up against one of the cars. He wasnât sure he would be able to pull away, he didnât even know anything about him anymore, but in that moment he didnât care.
he hadnât thought seeing fallon again would cause the intense feelings in him that he was feeling right then. he had thought he was over him, that heâd taken the breakup just fine.. that it hadnât bothered him.. but he supposed he hadnât.. not really anyway.. and feeling how the other wrapped himself back against him, it felt like he wasnât the only one. and hearing the other say he was sorry, he only held him tighter running his fingers up towards the nape of fallonâs neck, twirling his hair around his finger as old muscle memory kicked in, and as with everything else, sid couldnât stop himself..
Fallon felt everything else melting away as they stood there holding each other, he hated that so much time had passed between them but none of his feelings had ever gone away. Heâd bounced between relationships but nothing stuck. Losing himself in the moment he pulled back and cupped the boyâs face âI missed youâ he breathed out before kissing him softly.
feeling fallonâs arms around him finally wrap around him, he couldnât help but let him do the same. his head resting on the others shoulder for a second as his eyes closed and he actually just- enjoyed the moment, even starting to wish it wouldnât end. so even as fallon tried to pull back, sid didnât let go. nor did he say anything to his question, he just stayed standing there, keeping the man in a tight embrace.Â
Fallon when he tried to pull back and Sid didnât let go he wrapped his arms back around him and buried his face against his neck, breathing in and taking him all in, the emotions of how much he had really missed him came rushing over him. âIâm sorry, Sidâ he spoke softly, he never got to tell him how sorry he was, how badly he wanted to stay and be there with him, but he had to leave so fast he never got the chance.
for the first time since seeing each other a small something pulled at the corner of his lips, âoh i dont know.. feel like i could recall yours always looking like that..â he said, before his chest started feeling heavier as his heart started beating even harder the moment fallon only came closer, at arms reach even, glancing up and over at him, finding himself gazing into fallonâs dark hues like he had so many nights before.. his heart only beating harder and harder inside his chest.. âi- i mean i guess youâre more than welcome to.. or.. like-. ask.. iâ i wouldnât want to assume anything i mean..â
Fallon let out a small snort and laughed at the other, the awkwardness hadnât seemed to have changed at all. âGet over here, you idiotâ he pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly, his chest immediately hurting as he felt him, so much time had passed but holding him again almost transported him right back to it all. After a bit longer of a hug than he had meant to give him he pulled back âiâm sure youâve got places to be huhâ.
the man watched the corner of the otherâs lip start pulling upwards, feeling the urge deep deep down to want to give in, but he still found other parts fighting it, but it didnât stop the nervous ramblings from happening. âi just mean likeâ in case i have to come back or.. anything happens or.. anything..â he said, rubbing the back of his neck. feeling like he sounded like an absolute idiot.. but then fallon started coming closer, something in him made him freeze, not allowing him to move his legs whatsoever, and then the hair comment , which he shouldâve expected.. âguess i left him back home.. iâve been a bit too busy to worry about it⌠plus idk, im coming to like it..â
He chuckled lightly, eyes flicking over the others features, he almost couldnât believe he was standing right in front of him, the image of him standing there sad when he told him he was leaving had been burned into his head, it was nice to have something to replace it with. âyeah, I guess we both did huh?â. He took another step closer before he was in his space âwhat, no hug? its been nearly five years and I donât even get a hug?â
there was something about seeing fallon again that instantly sent him back to how heâd felt when they first met.. nervous, unsure of his own actions and words on top of just.. trying to convince he wasnât really interested in men.. that the relationship heâd had with his daughterâs mother had turned him onto the ârightâ path.. but he cursed himself inside his own head over the fact that the other man only had gotten more attractive with age, on top of the small part of him that had never gotten over the other, and missed every single thing about him, and made his stomach fill with butterflies as they stood there looking at one another, and it made his brain fight with itself to the point where he could be sick. and the way he looked like a huge fucking bundle of nerves was a hard one for him to try hide. ââ sorry uhm.. you can just you know uhm.. call or text if there is anything.. about the bike i meanââ he stuttered, not even able to remember when he acted more like a fucking dork than right then and there
The more he stood there and watched him the more the old Sid started to surface, he stumbled over his words and boy, did he love when he got nervous. A slight smiled pulled at the corner of his lips as he listened âoh ya?â he asked a bit smugly âjust about the bike tough, right?â he took a small step towards him, testing his reaction. âWhatâs with all that?â he motioned to his longer hair âlose your barber?â he teased.
