TW!! Please read Tags before continuing to read. There are triggering stuff in this. <3

Tinka, who is a criminal who recently got out of jail, was laying down on his bed in his kinda new apartment which his mother got for him since she doesn't want him at home to teach his younger brother to be a criminal. Tinka is gay as well while his mother is homophobic so she wanted him away so that he doesn't teach his brother to be gay. "Gahhhhh... this bed is too small... Mother never paid attention to how much I have grown..." 

Tinka shifted and turned into his side to hopefully actually fit on the bed, it didn't work. Tinka is 24 and 7'5, this makes most people scared of him without even knowing him but in Tinka's case he isn't a tall guy who just looks scary and seems scary until you know him, he is a tall guy who is scary and gets even more scary when you know him better.

Tinka currently has no job but applied to be a bouncer at a gay stripper bar near his current apartment. he is expecting to get an email saying if he got the job or not in the morning. "I don't want to be tired tomorrow... if I get the job then I should also be given a time for an interview in the email... Gahhhh!!"

Tinka gave up on sleeping on the bed and moved his pillow and blanket down to the floor then also lays on the floor, Tinka is more used to sleeping on things like a floor than a bed so he fell asleep fairly fast.

Once Tinka woke up he sat up and checked the time. "6 am, good" Tinka got up and walked into his bathroom. he left the bathroom and grabbed his phone and checked his emails. "Oh, I got it already... isn't it a bit early?..." Tinka opened it while walking into his kitchen, he read it while leaning against his fridge.

Tinka finished reading and smiled. "I got an interview at noon to see if I actually got the job~ I'll be surpised if they don't mention my criminal record... I made sure to put it on there..." Tinka got a bit worried but pushed the feeling away and grabbed some crackers which his mother gave him to 'make sure he doesn't starve' Tinka knew that the police required her to put some form of food there for him, just as they required him to either live at her house or in a different house but she would be paying for where he lives.

Tinka walked into his bedroom and looked at what clothes he had to wear while eating the crackers. he found that he had a fake suit that could work, it just needed to fit him and he would need a tie to wear since the suit doesn't have one. Tinka found a tie and put the fake suit along with the tie on the edge of his 'small' bed and put the other stuff he took out back where they were. Tinka walked out of his room and put his crackers away and checked his fridge.

"She got me milk and blueberries... and crackers... she really wants me to starve to death~" TInka started laughing, he closed the fridge and walked over to his couch. He grabbed the remote to his TV and looked for something to watch. He found a movie he liked and watched it. 

Once the movie was over Tinka checked the time once again " 30 minutes... I can get there in time~" most people wouldn't have much confidence being able to reach the building where Tinka needs to go without a car in 30 and even less if they had to change into different clothes and shower before leaving. Tinka knew he could since he can walk fast and if needed he could most likely run that distance in under 5 minutes, Tinka got up and grabbed a towel and the clothes on his bed, he walked into his bathroom and showered then got dressed. He checked the time again.

"20 minutes~" Tinka left the bathroom, and put his phone and keys in his pocket then left his apartment and locked it. Tinka started walking out of the building and to go to the bar, while it is close to his apartment it is also about a mile away. Tinka got to the building with about 5 minutes to spare, Tinka walked in and found the office inside of it fairly quickly. He was kinda having trouble walking around due to his height but he was used to this kind of stuff. He walked into the office and a person was sitting there, they looked up when Tinka walked in and froze for a second.

He said he was 7'5 but I didn't think he was actually that tall... Tinka smiled a bit and walked over. "Hello, I'm here for my interview" the person smiled a bit. "Yup, you can come sit down. you are 4 minutes early but that's alright" Tinka walked over to the chair the person pointed to and sat down. "Better early than late"

The person nodded. "That is correct, now with the kind of resume you submitted we wouldn't even be having this interview-" Tinka got a bit worried. "Oh, was there something wrong with it?... I tried to make it good..." Tinka slightly shifted. "No, no... it was great, probably the best I've seen too... it's just your criminal record..." Tinka relaxed a bit. "Yeah... what questions do you have? I should be able to answer them all correctly for you"

"Damn, with that personality and talking skills you should have applied to be one of the workers- but, back on topic" Tinka laughed a bit. "I did consider that but- I'm pretty sure I'd scare people away instead due to my height... has happened before" Tinka slightly smiled. "Oh- makes sense. But, on your criminal record that you had given near the end of your letter you had said that you've been charged with sexual assault... thievery, and unprovoked physical attack... those are the main ones we are worried about..."

Tinka nodded "That makes sense... I would be worried about hiring someone with that kind of stuff as well... but I promise to not steal anything or harm anyone inside this building unless it is needed" the person nodded. "You are put that if you did do anything of what you listed that we should immediately call the police... you would rather get arrested again than be given a second chance after doing anything on your criminal record again?..." The person shifted a tiny bit. 

"Yes" the person nodded. "Alright... you can start tonight, you will be working with someone. here is his number, I'll tell him that I gave you his number and some stuff about you. is that okay, Tinka?" Tinka nodded. "Yeah, email me after you have told him and everything. I would like him to know more than  less about me before I try to say anything to him"

"Ahh, may I have your number to text you when I have? it would be easier and I can tell you some about him like that" Tinka smiled a bit. "Sure, and is that the only reason you are asking for it? based on what you have said earlier about me" The person smiled slightly. "Possibly, you'll have to find out by yourself"

Tinka smiled again and quickly wrote down his number on a post-it note and gave it to the person but didn't let go of it. "Give me your name and you can have it" the person slightly blushed. "Leo, Leo Dim..." Tinka let go of the post-it note. "Thank you for the job. will you be here tonight as well?" Tinka leaned back a bit. "Unfortunately not, parents want me to visit home tonight... tomorrow night tho" Tinka nodded.

"Alright. goodbye Leo" Tinka stood up. "Bye Tinka" Tinka smiled again before leaving. Leo looked down at the post-it note Tinka gave him. He put a heart next to his number- I can't tell if he's just a flirt or if it's just how he is... whichever it is he's good at getting people to like him... although scary at first... and even more when you know what crimes he's done... but still nice~ Leo put Tinka's phone number into his phone then opened his and Tinka's coworkers chat.
