Date Posted: 22:18:11 01/09/11 Sun Sometimes life sucked. Occasionally, for Elijah, it wasn't that bad of a suck. It was the kind of sucking that involved getting splashed by a passing car or misplacing his car keys- maybe even the barista forgetting to put whipped cream on his latte. But, other times, he expirienced the kind of suck that made him want to go back to England, curl up under his duvet in his flat and sob frantically. Those days usually involved getting shot at, finding a corpse or finding out that the girl from the bar last night was actually a guy. But, for the most part, his days were nice, calm and just the way he liked them. Even here, so close to his Dimitri and the pandemonium that always surrounded him, he had managed to find some equilibrium. He had bought an apartment on the other side of town so he could advoid his brother, so that helped a bit. Now he could get up in the mornings- just before dawn- and go for a run. After running he could go home, work for a bit, shower and go out for his coffee. After his coffee he went to the library, after the library he went home and worked more, after he worked more he got his second coffee, after his second coffee- Okay, so it wasn't so much of an equilibirum as it was a caffine addiction. He liked his lattes, okay? And at this time of year they had so many delicious ones. The only problem with this 'little' addiction was the fact that the nearest Starbucks was across town. By Dimtiri's house. Which meant closer to Telcotl. Which meant, four times a day, he ran the risk of encountering his darling younger brother. Which fucking sucked. Oh well. It was worth both the mileage on the underground and the risk of having a family reunion to get his fix. So, at ten fifteen, Elijah hopped into the elevator, trotted out of the lobby and dashed down the stairs into the tube. Despite the weather he wore his gray peacoat wide open and his Burberry scarf draped loosely around his neck. He wore his boots, however- his boots and his mittens. His snowflake patterned mittens. Glowering at the hand wrapped around the subway car's safety rail, Elijah prayed that Dimitri would find a new hobby. Soon. Snowflake mittons, bloody hell. What was next, a scarf knitted out of fuzzy faux fur? The doors opened and, as nimbly as a cat, Elijah stole past the crowds and up the escalators. He weaved his way in and out of the crowd and, very quickly, he was in Starbucks. Inhaling the scent of overpriced coffee beans with a shuddering sigh, he stepped up to wait in one of the dual lines. Seeing as he was a regular patron, the barista smiled a little wider. Bloke knew his face and knew that he was a tipper. Obligingly, he placed a five dollar bill into the stupid coffee cup and plaed his order. Then, he sank into one of the armchairs (understuffed and smelling like wet dog) with an obligatory sigh. For some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling of foreboding that was enveloping him. Maybe it was the fact that there were a gaggle of pre-teen girls wearing too much lipgloss and probably drinking their first mochas. AKA: Migrane. There were a pair of young, yuppie-looking mothers sitting across from him, complete with two perfectly dressed toddlers each. All four toddlers had their own hot chocolates. AKA: Fourth degree burns all over his... well, we just won't go there. Damnitall. He sighed, cast his eyes to the heavens and said a silent prayer to the gods that today would work out okay. Then promptly pulled out his blackberry and checked his facebook. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
