Locus wasn't the talkative type...
However, Felix was.
For some reason, Felix wanted to go to Disney for their three-year anniversary. They lived about 10 hours away from a car trip, so he couple shoved their baggage in the trunk and began the long ride.
(Bow Chicka BOW WOW)
After about an hour, Locus was driving an Felix was chatting away in the passenger seat.
"You know, I think we should have a bet. See who finds the most Hidden Mickeys or something."
"I'd be at an advantage then," Locus stated as he turned into the right lane, "I've been there before with my sister."
"Oh, right... How many times have you and Emily gone?"
"Thirteen."
"Jesus Christ on a fruitcake, that's a lot of times."
"Jesus isn't on any pastries."
Felix stubbornly glared at Locus before bursting out in laughter, and pulled out his phone.
"Fine, lets see how many Hidden Mickeys you know of... Tower of terror?"
"Trick question, there's two. The little girl holds an antique Mickey doll and the starts that open the door before you drop form a Mickey head." Locus stated without hesitation.
"Holy shit you weren't kidding."
"I don't kid when it comes to knowledge."
Felix sat back and chuckled, almost admiring how Locus knew so much about such little things. But then again, he had always been like that.
That's how they started dating, actually.
Locus worked at the local library, helping fellow college students locate their required books for reading and studying. Felix was a usual costumer, as he was forced to go by his bitchy teacher.
Locus had the same professor, so they often looked and found the same books together.
Felix was not happy about this.
Every single god damn day, Locus would be a smart ass and say 'Your shoe is untied' or 'Watch out for that pole' just to get in his nerves. Locus acted as if he was trying to be helpful, but deep down inside his icy cold heart, he thought it was hilarious.
Felix didn't have much of a choice to go to someone else, because the other unlucky workers there were cranky old women. So yeah, Felix put up with the occasional comment from the strangely smart man.
Boy was he glad he did.
Over a couple years of discovering books, the two became close friends. They knew backstories, funny moments, embarrassing moments, and everything in between. They were true soul mates, even if they were opposites. But there were a lot of things they had in common.
The small things.
(Bow Chicka Bow Wow I'm so sorry I had to)
They both loved Disney.
I know, stupid for two tragic teens to love a kid's park, but they admired it in very different ways.
Felix's way of appreciation was: "Damn, look at that money making facility."
Walt Disney didn't start out with much money, and it's pretty inspiring how he managed to make the happiest place on earth. Now, the company makes millions a day.
Locus was more captivated by the hidden backstories, especially the ones in haunted mansion.
Most think of it as the simplicity of its name, but the books and comics reveal so much more.
The bride's name was Constance, the legend of the Hatbox ghost, so many things that collectively pass by people, which makes it special to others.
So yeah, two completely manly grown-ass men are going to go to Disney and possibly freak out over fairy tales.
Deal with it.
