Disorder, Ch. 02
Accomplice
Charles: Hey, man, I need you.
Soren: What for?
Charles: I need picking up. Car's dead.
Soren: From where?
Charles: Sixty-six Nelson Street. Down on the corner. Can you make it?
Soren: Sure thing, on my way.
Oh, how much easier Soren's day would have gone if he had not pulled up at sixty-six with a smile on his face, a hard day at work good and done and the rush hour, also, nearly over. The city was quietening down on the work front while the tourist scene and nightlife ramped up for the weekend, a glittering, heaving mass of bodies all intent on having the best night ever, if not the best weekend ever. Getting off to meet up with his mate was not what Soren had expected on finishing work but that was the spark of unpredictability with Charles that he liked so much: he just didn't know what was going to happen at any given time. Often, it was a good thing. Yet not always. He may have done well to remember that.
But hey, there was no sense in turning down the chance to hang out with the man who had, at least, brought a splash of daring and colour to his life, even if he was as pale as a vampire. He hadn't always been so confident himself but something about the way that their relationship had gone made him keener than ever to get himself in the same car next to Charles again. After all... Soren smirked, although his lips only quirked up a little bit on one side. Well, Charles did give pretty good head. And the last time that he'd given the crazy man a blowjob too had been road head - a definite first for him. What was it about Charles that made him want to push those boundaries, to do things that made his normal life seem, well, pretty damn boring by comparison?
Sighing, he pulled up in front of the sports shop, which was flanked by a bank and a sandwich shop, all standing as forlornly as they had a few months back. Everything was always changing in the city, nothing staying the same for very long at all, and Soren knew well enough, even if he didn't want to actually acknowledge it, that he would have to change too. He'd changed his haircut, cropping the blonde (a darker, dirtier shade) short to his scalp so that his strong jaw would be show off but there was still a part of him that thought that was vain, despite the many hours he spent in the gym working on his physique. Soren, of course, had no reason at all to really want to muscle up, although some could have said, whether accurately or not, that it was his one vice. Yet it was something, still, that remained consistent, a lack of change that thrummed through his soul as if it needed to actively make itself known each and every day. Maybe Charles could be that change for him? But he was wrapped up in some dodgy things...
Soren grimaced and rolled his eyes. Yeah, maybe he would do better not to actually follow Charles' lead. That was a little too far.
Cars flashed by, the pace of traffic picking up as the standstill moved on, although it would still be a trial and a half to get Charles off to... Soren frowned and scratched the back of his neck. Just where was Charles going anyway? And where was he coming from? There had been a distinct lack of information in that exchange and only now was he beginning to question the why of it. After all, it was not as if Charles made a habit of asking him for rides. In fact, it was quite the opposite on that matter!
But there was no time to worry about that sort of thing as Charles strolled from the bank, a backpack in hand and his long jacket swinging about his legs as if he was wearing it as a sort of cape. The man in question, however, was no kind of superhero and swung easily into the car, which, to him, was easily recognisable, with a trademark grin that showed in a flash of perfectly white teeth. Which, in itself, was impressive as Soren doubted that Charles had even seen a dentist once in his entire life. Whether that was lucky or unlucky was another question entirely though...
"Hey, dude!"
Exhaling a puff of breath that could have been something of a grunt, Soren shook his head, flipping on the indicator to pull out, although he did not yet know where he was going.
"Since when do you say 'dude'?"
Charles grinned in yet another flash of white teeth, startlingly so. A scarf was wound around Charles' neck as if it had just been shoved there, rumpled and twisted and entirely not in line with his usual, quiet, sense of personal style, if it could even be called that.
"Oooh, I like it when you're feisty! Step on it!"
Without thinking, Soren did just that, pulling out into traffic as soon as there was a gap. Charles had the sort of voice about him that made it easy to just 'do' without thinking and he tootled along as the man beside him fidgeted, flipping his ponytail out of the way.
"Damn..."
Yet there was something wrong as Charles shifted his weight, glancing out the window and looking back over his shoulder, the backpack tucked between his feet safely in the passenger seat, although he did not give the impression of being a man who felt safe, at that moment in time, at all.
"So... What's new?" Soren probed, slipping the question out into the air between them. "Been a while, huh?"
"Can you go a little faster?"
Soren glanced at him, the window rolled down enough to allow a breath of what could not quite be called fresh air into the car.
