Dorm Roof, Tuesday Night

Since he would be in the future before midnight hit back home, Raleigh had to celebrate by texting his brother about being in the future. You know, when it finally hit midnight.

Which would come in good time.

But, for now, he was enjoying the cold winter night out on the roof. Maybe there would be fireworks from the mainland, after all!

[[Open, of course!]]

Flick didn't actually know why he was outside when it was cold but he was. It beat staying inside and potentially falling asleep early. He wasn't that old and brittle, thank you.

"Anyone got fireworks up here?" he asked when he saw the other guy on the roof. "Sparklers or cherry bombs or anything?"

"Not unless you're talking about across the water," Raleigh replied.

"This place really lacks in a lot of things," he sighed, rubbing his hands together and blowing into them. "Surprised that no one's got contraband like that tonight."

"Obviously I don't," Flick said dryly. "I didn't exclude myself from that statement. I just didn't think about it until five minutes ago. Pretty sure fireworks are illegal in this state so it's not like you can go down the road and pick them up."

"Yeah, because this town is so big on being legal," Raleigh drawled, huffing out an amused puff of air.

"True." He shrugged a shoulder. "In that case, I just don't care enough to go traipsing through town, looking for fireworks. If I'm in town, it's for better things than a shopping spree."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"I think something warm to drink would be way better than a shopping spree right now."

Even though Raleigh totally wanted more horrible sweaters.

"Should have brought a big boy thermos outside," Flick said, climbing up onto the ledge of the roof and sticking his hands in his pockets. He looked down.

"Pretty long drop," he said, glancing over. "Think I could land on my feet."

Was he serious? Probably not.

"I'll keep 911 on speed dial," Raleigh replied. Because he was nice like that.
flickofthewrist: (this solemn day)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
"How sweet of you," Flick said, taking a few careful steps along the ledge. "Bet that gets you really far in life, nice guy."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Raleigh shrugged, taking a seat on the ledge. He was still giving Flick his space. "Far enough, I think."
flickofthewrist: (boy with a coin)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Flick snorted in disbelief. He wasn't a huge proponent of the whole nice guy thing, if that wasn't obvious.

"You just get walked on," he said, shaking his head. "That's what happens to nice guys."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Nice guys who don't have a backbone, maybe."

Because he was gonna punch giant monsters. Just you wait.
flickofthewrist: (debauched and down)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"So, what's being nice gotten you so far in this place?" Flick asked, curious. "What's your big accomplishment?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Why do I need one?"

MONSTER PUNCHING.
flickofthewrist: (radio war)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Means you don't have one," Flick said, smirking. "And you don't have to have one. But, I just wanted to see this mystical backbone you were talking about, nice guy."

Be nice, Flick.

"Anyway." He waved a hand in Raleigh's direction. "How is it going for you? Not drinking tonight either?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"No," Raleigh replied dryly, rolling his eyes at Flick's attitude. "Not really my thing."
flickofthewrist: (going to california)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, me either."

That, at least, was honest.

"I'm actually surprised it's this quiet on an island full of teenagers on New Year's Eve."

He walked back and forth a few times on the ledge.

"Maybe people are still gone from Christmas."

That was what he was choosing to believe.
flickofthewrist: (love and some verses)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Eh."

He wasn't a fan of Christmas.

"Was Santa Claus good to you this year?"

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure." He got clothing. So much second hand clothing. "You?"
flickofthewrist: (just a chance)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Flick shook his head.

"Nope." Not unexpected either. "Haven't gotten anything for...about twelve Christmases now. Pretty good streak."
flickofthewrist: (back in the day)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Yep." Flick stopped walking and glanced out over the island. "You sound surprised."
flickofthewrist: (godless brother in love)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"And?" Flick shrugged and took a few breaths. The cold air seeped into his lungs and burned a bit. "Doesn't mean anything."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Raleigh shrugged. "Sucks then."
flickofthewrist: (thousand miles)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
"As does most of my life," he said, shrugging. "But, I make the best of it."

He didn't know how he did that but he did. Sometimes.

"If I really want something, I just take it anyway. Means I sometimes get myself presents."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure that'll go great for you." And you mocked his nice guy-ness. Tsk.
flickofthewrist: (rose and thorn)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Hasn't gone wrong for me yet," he said, shrugging a shoulder. "How do you know I haven't taken something of yours?"

Had to needle you, Raleigh. "I am an excellent thief."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
"I think I'd notice." With all the fancy stuff he owned. All none of it.
flickofthewrist: (weary memory)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"You wouldn't."

And he'd been in your room, Raleigh. Not for you, of course, but he'd been in there.

"I promise."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Raleigh rolled his eyes again. "Yeah, I get it. You're a master criminal in high school."
flickofthewrist: (better days)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
"That's very nice of you to say," Flick said, taking the statement literally because he could. "I don't know what to do with such an accolade. I'm touched, I am."

[identity profile] notajaegerbomb.livejournal.com 2014-01-01 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, yeah," Raleigh replied, pushing himself up. "Enjoy your accolades alone then. I think I'm done up here."
flickofthewrist: (last caress)

[personal profile] flickofthewrist 2014-01-01 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Flick snickered and shook his head.

"I'll miss you," he quipped, tucking his hands in his pockets. "Or maybe I won't. But, thanks for the chat, man. Made my night."
