Chapter 67: Back To Normal

(Ugh. Where have yinz been??? I feel like I owe yinz an update on my life since I've been a little quiet lmaoooo. Well... my hot Italian snack and I are still going strong 😶‍🌫️💕 He's a goofball, to say the least, but god, do we click so well with our age gap. He's addicted to skiing, so I'm always catching him between trips while I've been working, going to school, and doing some linguistics research and I...actually got a new job guys! A good one. A real one. I start in 10 days, and it's finally spring break, so I will spend the next week catching up on my sleep and making sure my back gets blown out properlyyy 😏

Oh, and the juiciest news? Remember Demons? Hot, tall, six pack, tattoos, ghosted me for 14 months because he...and I quote: has demons??? Oh yeah, he came back around, attempting to say he misses me, let's catch up. I was like, sir? I usually don't reconnect with anyone, but I wanted to brag about my accomplishments a little, so we had set a date to get drinks right? Well DAY OF? This man is like, "Oh, gosh, my demons! I can't be seen in public 😫😣 I texted him back like:

Listen, real adult hour. YOU need to figure out how to regulate YOUR nervous system, because if we look at the facts, it's been a year since we talked, and you repeated the same cycle in 4 days. This has to be exhausting on some level, so idk what you're telling your therapist, but I think this right here needs to be the topic of the next conversation

He says he doesn't want to be an "addict" (I'm still not even sure what he means by this) but guys am I tripping???? We haven't spoken in a year plus, and he's right where I left him. Like sir, YOU don't wanna get better, it seems, so would it have been nice to add that magnificent peen back to my collection? Yes! But not when the hottie it's attached to is sad all the time. 

So, here we are. Demons is...quiet. My hot Italian snack is obsessed. I have a new job and will soon be taking that place by storm) 😌

post again soon

[Bay View] — Mako's apartment

Mako stood in the shower far longer than the steam let him see clearly. The water stung his skin as it rolled off his shoulders, but he didn't flinch—he only turned it hotter, because having Shah in his living room, hurt him far worse than scalding water ever could.


"Who lost at chess?" Shah grinned, eyeing the game still set out on the coffee table,
"Hmph. The kid," Mudo fibbed, nodding toward Jay, who was still left simmering in the kitchen,
"I did not lose," Jay snapped, rolling his eyes in annoyance, "You can't lose at something you forgot the rules to,"
"Pretty reckless to forget the rules to a game where your only vantage point is anticipating your opponent," Shah shrugged, resetting the board piece by piece, "Even an opponent as lousy as Mudo,"
"Cute," Mudo smirked, unfurling his morning paper with his feet on the coffee table,
"Reckless? Y-You're calling me reckless?" Jay scoffed, marching into the living room,
"Well, I wouldn't be clearing the board if I called you careful," Shah taunted,
"Shah, Battles—
"It's just a game, 93," Shah interrupted, "Training Wheels and I are on the same team now. He can play if he wants,"
"Can I?" Jay crossed his arms tight, "Because I wouldn't exactly call this a fair shot when you cheat people for the fun of it,"
"You can't cheat chess, Newbie," Shah smirked, "Besides...you need a plan for Viper, right?"
"I don't need one," Jay corrected, sitting across from Shah anyway, "You're supposed to have one. That's the only reason Mako let you in here,"
"And I'll have one," Shah nodded, "I just need to see something first,"
"See what exactly?" Jay breathed frustratedly,
"Not sure yet," Shah chuckled, moving his first pawn two spaces, "But a man who didn't hesitate to shoot me after being called a lackey has definitely piqued my interest,"
"I grazed you," Jay reminded Shah, "And believe me, you threaten Mako any further, I won't be as careful,"
"Hmph. Good to know,"
