(no subject)

[stardustonsable]

so, LJ overhaul, it went from black and BLINDING BRIGHT GREEN OW! to , what I hope, is a more sophisticated, sultry black on red number, with MCR in the background of course. Speaking of this picture, i had to choose between Bob and Ray! No matter how I oriented it either, Ray or Bob was semi-obscured, so it came down to the shallow decision of who looked better in the picture *shakes head* I'll probably just change it periodically so each get a good amount of face time. Or someone could send me a link to the original picture *smiles convincingly* 

So, I intend on doing 3 things in this new year, but they arent resolutions because I think resolutions are bullshit. Work on my original fiction, work on my fanfiction and survive school. In varying orders of importance, probably not the ones my parents would encourage but whatever. 
The fiancee is sick, but whats new about that? 

Aaaand I have a new fic. Well no, I have the prequel to some horribly massive thing because obviously Bob/Spencer must have a seperate ficlet of their own and not just be the happy established couple. So. 
 

Bob was not happy. Not only did he unexpectedly have a new boss, ‘two new bosses’ he reminded himself, but they’d hired some kid, he was pretty sure it was a boy but the shirt and the hips begged to differ, to “help” him. Help him do what he wasn’t sure, but nothing good judging from the glint in Frank’s eye.

 

-*-

                “No, Ry, you can’t set things on fire to watch people’s reactions….I don’t care if its research.”

Bob was staring. He could accept this. After all the kid was wearing some seriously glittery shit. It was mint green. He was pretty sure there was a unicorn, too. Bob wanted to whimper, but he was fairly sure it’d ruin the ‘scary big guy’ image he’d been cultivating for years now.

                The kid hung up the phone and gave a little smirk. “Hey, ‘m Spencer. You’re Bob, yeah?” Fucking Frank. Him and Jon. He hated them both.

“Yeah. You’re the new tech…intern like-thing” Bob ended weakly, Spencer’s smirk grew.

“And DJ.” He adds, the smirk almost a full blown smile.

 

-*-

Bob really wondered about his sanity. He could be touring with some headliner band right now. Instead he was in an enclosed space with a (probably underaged) kid who now had a frozen phallic symbol.

Frank had come in a minute ago, shirt off, bitching about the heat and passing out popsicles. The kid, who’d been blasting J-rock of all things and not helping Bob do anything, gave him an odd look but took the popsicle. 

“You from somewhere closer to the equator?” Bob asks, willing the kid to stop fellating the flavored ice.

“Nah,” Spencer says, and licks his lips a little. Bob felt a bit offended on behalf of his resolve not to throw the kid against the nearest flat surface. “ the desert. Vegas. Me an’ Ryan lived there until college. Just chose to stay out here.

Bob blinked. “You’re,,,you’re out of college?” He’d thought the kid was underaged.

Spencer shrugged. “We both skipped a few grades. And no, Ryan dropped out when his first book got picked up. He’s paying my tuition whenever I go back.”

Bob nods, nice of the kids…boyfriend. He refused to acknowledge the disappointment that tinged the word.

“So whats a relatively well off minigenius like you doing working at a club on the kinda good side of town.”

Spencer shrugged and looked away and Bob knew a signal to change the subject when he saw one.

And now the plot skeleton that I've considered giving to wolfshirtsmany times
The capitalization is iffy because a lot of it was written in the early hours of the morning so...there you go.

Drink Down That Gin and Kerosene

Bar/club  au

Um…Patrick’s pov, or 3^rd.

FOB

MCR

Disashi, Travis

William

Vicky-T, Gabe, Ryland

P!ATD

Pete/Patrick…Patrick’s just a shy guy that’s the unofficial, as in he isn’t on the payroll and whats a little tax evasion, electrician and accountant for Frank and Joe’s bar, he also occasionally performs.  Pete is one of the bartenders. Both have massive crushes and are painfully unaware of what to do with them. Patrick’s shy, mortified by the thought of hooking up with The Bartender Pete. Pete’s mortified by the thought of having a normal, stable relationship, especially one with someone as awesome as Patrick.

Jon…joe maybe? Semi unrequited, joe’s always out of town…why? I don’t know, does it matter? He’s out of town with Travis. Which makes Jon nervous because really can they spend that much time together and not have something

Past jon/frank, amicable breakup ,still act overly friendly, frank makes one too many comment about jon’s skillz, Gerard gets intimidated

Gerard/frank…similar to the pxp situation but that Gerard, who’s the new interior decorator and general artist for the club, which has a constantly changing atmoshphere, after Ryan left, is really really bad with people. Especially people that touch him. So of course, Frank who has a habit of hanging off of anyone that looks like they can support his weight is a bit terrifying. In a short, maybe a little maniacal way. Frank just thinks Gerard’s adorable and doesn’t understand why his advances aren’t working. He turns to Mikeyway, Gerard’s brother, who mostly shakes his head and mumbles about them being idiots while he talks to Alicia, who no one would believe existed if pete weren’t there to vouch for her, and the fact that every few weeks a girl that looks a lot like Pete’s type will show up and trade barbs with Pete when her face isn’t attached to Mikey’s. 

Spencer/bob, established couple, amused by all the going’s on. Occasionally give pieces of advice, but usually sit around watching the chaos unfold. Ryan boards at the house they bought together being an eccentric almost-starving writer who pays the rent once a year, but pays way over the agreed fee, so he’s okay. Sometimes he steals Spencer from Bob for a few days but both go pale and start shuddering at the thought of being romantic with each other, so Bob doesn’t mind.  Bob’s the sound tech when they have live bands, Spencer’s the dj when they don’t, occasionally Spencer will let Patrick take over the turntable while he sneaks off with Bob.

William/Disashi… added Travis when he and Joe are in town (why kill a good thing?) No ones really sure what William does, he’s just always at the club flirting with anything with a pulse, so everyone’s always a little confused when this guy comes and picks him up at the end of the night and William goes from sex kitten to a regular kitten curling up next to him with soft eyes and smiles. Sometimes when Joe and Travis are in town he makes the same eyes at Travis, and the other guy, Disashi, doesn’t seem  to mind. He just gives Travis these devious little smiles that promise things that raise goosebumps on everyone’s arms. Some days William talks about how one day Travis will settle down with them and they’ll make one big family, but then Travis gets this freaked out look and William just looks away, hiding a sad look. Sometimes, when Travis stays longer than usual he and Disashi fight. Once or twice at the club, until William begs them to stop. It’s the most heartbreaking and hottest thing most of them have seen in their life.

Alicia/Mikey past Mikey/Pete, Mikey/Alicia…they have conversations about dating him Scare Patrick a little bit, but eventually Alicia takes Patrick to the side and explains why Pete’s actually a really big cuddly…boa constrictor that will squeeze all the good out of anything …but will never leave you. Alicia scares Patrick a little.

Ryan/Brendon Brendon is a college student that always manages to be at the bar when Ryan’s there. He’s painfully oblivious to Ryan’s sarcastic, but never mean, comments and always nods like he understands when Ryan ‘s on one of his rants, the scary thing is that he actually might.

Maja, Bob’s ex. Spencer gets especially bitchy when she’s around, in fact so do Brendon, Pete and William.

Vicky-T, Vicky is Patrick’s friend, and ex. Pete always pulls especially sour faces when she’s around and never gets her drink right. She’s amused by this. She and Maja always show up together, always leave together, but no one really knows what to do with that. Spencer is always between asking where she got her shoes and having indecent thoughts about her legs. Gabe, William and Travis friend, is the only one to ever grow a pair and ask her out, of course the date was to be held in his basement. No one actually knows what her answer was.

Ryland/Gabe, Gabe is there every night. Literally. Frank has considered putting him on the payroll, just for dedication. And Ryland almost always comes to pick him up. A few time he hasn’t. Usually after one of Gabe’s tryst. The nights after that Gabe shows up early and leaves early, usually slightly bruised with a huge grin on his face.

Appearances by:

Andy/Ray – ray WAS the token straight guy. Until the night he showed up with Andy.
