The skies were dark with thick clouds. Clouds had been threatening to rain all day. Classes had ended early, giving even more time to the long weekend. Big parties were planned but nothing had broken yet. The streets were lined with freshmen from college going towards to the store to get what they needed to make it through the coming excitement. Scott had just finished meeting with some friends to grab alcohol for later, and at that time he was going home, nearby south Seattle pouring rain. As Scott moved through the narrow streets, he saw a secluded dealership with every kind of car, bike, and scooter imaginable were displayed, outside the shop and inside. It was a small dealership, hidden close to his home, he just never had seen it before.
The dealership was dry and inviting, especially as the water came down harder than Scott had never seen before. A TV in the back showed a newscast about the sudden severity of the storm but how it was moving over the area quickly. As Scott looked around, though, it felt as if he was already in an oasis. The sleekest sports cars, the toughest trucks, the most advanced motorcycles... The best of the best were all around him, glittering in metal flake paint and chrome, in spinner hubcaps or classic models. There was a strange atmosphere around the place, a compelling one. It was almost electric.
Scott nodded to the salesperson, who glared at him because he was just carrying a pair of jeans and a shirt. This was not the attire of the clientele, especially when none of his clothing were from reputable brands. Trying to duck away from the odd looks, he maneuvered into a side room in search of a bathroom to dry off in. Instead he discovered something possessing such beauty that he couldn't help but stare.
The motorcycle was unreal and so unique, with two wheels paired up at the front and one at the back, narrow and slit-like headlights, built of black stainless steel and chrome details. The engine was larger than any other bike he had ever seen with four exhaust pipes at the back. Nonetheless, the motorcycle was sleek and agile. Scott moved closer to examine the carefully contoured seat. The handlebars contorted and twisted on themselves, taking a ribbed, bumpy shape that on a superficial look would've made them look like horns. The whole machine was large, the rider must be tall enough to reach the handlebars, the engine occupied most of the space.
"I see you have gotten up close and personal with Fenrir," a young man chuckled, rushing over. He was a guy with long, black hair tied back in a ponytail. He had piercing hazel eyes which almost seemed golden in the light. He dressed in form fitting leather, he seemed a biker himself.
"So-Sorry..." Scott said voice, embarrassed if he had damaged the bike or anything of that sort. Taking another, closer, look at the man, Scott's breath hitched in his throat witch caused him to cough right about the same time a sneeze tickled his nose. He was completely soaked from being outside, and unable to find a bathroom to dry up.
"You're a right mess." The young man said, "Let's get you dry up..." The guy led Scott over to a side office, opening the door. He moved in and riffled around before he pulled out a towel.
Scott looked around the office and he saw several distinct leather riding gears that were hung on the wall, it appeared sophisticated like a piece to sale. Somewhere in his mind, Scott wondered how a sales associate could afford threads that just oozed overpriced. Looking up, he met the salesperson's gaze and grinned sheepishly. "Thanks a lot..." Scott stuck out a hand. "My name is Scott, by the way..."
"I'm Blake," he said. "And I'd be glad to help anyone who fancies my motorcycle designs." he smirked, "Do you want to test drive it?"
"You designed that bike?!" Scott said surprised. "That's downright impressive. I mean, I'd love to try it out, but there's no way I could ever afford it, I'd probably just end up wrecking it."
"It's resilient. Besides, that is the display model." Blake smiled, turning to look out of the window. The skies were still silver, but the darkest edges had already moved toward the horizon. It was enough for the bike designer to grin, "The weather's cleared up, you can go ahead... I want you to enjoy it, maybe you'll tell your rich friends." he smirked.
"Well, I mean I don't have any gear or anything either..." Scott muttered as he found himself running out of excuses.
"What sort of gear do you want?" Blake asked, gazing into Scott's eyes, practically reading his soul.
Scott shivered and licked his lips. Before he could even think, an answer spilled from his lips. "Anything that'll make me look like the bike was made for me and only for me." The words startled Scott. They didn't even sound like his own. His thoughts were crystal clear and well ordered, cutting through a lifetime of confusion. Blake grinned deeply at that, his canine teeth seeming abnormally long.
