Cliche Love // OhmToonz

Cartoonz & Ohm

I knew I had to leave before Luke got here so Luke didn't knock on the door waking my family, I can't leave trough the front door because I can't lock it because I can't find my fucking house key!

I stare at my window, it's not that high up from the ground right?

I open it and pop out the screen, I sit on the roof and close the window without putting the screen back for later when I get home.

I look down and... nope.. to high up for me, FUCK! what am I suppose to do? I see head lights coming down the road, Luke's here fuck he's gonna see me being a fucking wuss.

he gets out his car and laughs a little

"Ryan, are you okay?"

"I was trying to sneak out"

"and?"

"I'm a fucking pussy and won't jump off"

Luke walked over to where I was but on the ground and put his arms out signaling for me to jump

"Really? you want me to jump into your arms?"

"I'll catch you"

"right, like I trust you after you totally blew me off tonight"

"Ryan, I'm sorry, you know I am! just are we gonna go do something or not?"

I looked at Luke and he gave me a little smile, but kind of like a sad smile. 

"alright, you better fucking catch me"

"your small"

"fuck you"

we both laughed as I crawled to the ledge and looked down at that handsome devil coming to my rescue like a damsel in distress.

I didn't really jump, I like... kinda just fell and he caught me, we smiled at each other as he let me down and got into his car.

"where we headed?"

"you'll see"

OH GREAT another cliche thing, someone taking you some where 'fun' but you won't know what it is until you see it, fantastic, you know what if I end up disliking or hating the thing he decides to take me to? we would avoid all that awkwardness if he just says something before hand! 

we drove, and drove, and drove, it seemed like an hour but when I glanced at the clock it had only been 15 minutes.

we pull up in a parking lot and I see a neon sign with a bowling ball and pins on it, not a bad choice of things to do.

"Bowling huh?"

"yeah I thought it'd be fun, you like bowling?"

I nodded my head slowly, It's fun but I'm not the best at it.

we walk in a pay for two games and we enter out nick names into the machine.

"I'm first!" Luke said, I looked at his nickname

Cartoons but with a z like Cartoonz, why did that nickname feel like some type of deja vu? it's such a random thing but I feel like I've heard it before like in a different world I know more about Cartoonz.

He rolled the bowling ball down the aisle, almost a strike, he rolled again and got a spare I cheered for him and clapped. also we were the only ones here.

"Okay Mr. Ohm your up next" he said, yeah I put my nick name as Ohm, what does it mean? not quite sure myself. It felt natural, like weirdly natural to be called Ohm.

I went and guttered the first ball, Luke laughed like he knew he was gonna win from my first ball, but I'll be damned if I let him with both games. I try my second ball and I hit a few pins great he's winning.

we took our turns, Luke ended up winning the first round he almost got a turkey but he messed it up, yea he got a few strikes, mainly spares, I got one strike and no spares. sad I know but we still have one game to go.

I went first this time, just my luck a gutter AGAIN! Luke lightly chuckled as he stood up and walked to me, he guided me to the front of the lane and held my hand with the ball in it, he leaned into me.

"see that red arrow in the middle? you want it to go there, but not directly head on to the first pin or it's only gonna knock over that one, you want to hit the side of the first pin with some force, not too much or it's gonna ruin your chance for a strike."

he positioned me

"you wanna take like three steps up, you don't wanna pass that line or its foul, make sure you throw and follow through, don't throw then put your hand down, make sure you throw without a curve or a backspin."

He was real close to me, he guided my hand as I let go of it and got a strike.

"see?"

"your really good at this, why?"

"I used to bowl a ton, I was in a league when I was little, it was fun, but I wasn't social so I made no friends so I got bored of it."

"Oh, well your skills won't go un-noticed"

Luke smiled, we were still standing close, I'm pretty sure the cashier was making a heart with her hands while looking at us, but Luke wasn't facing that direction so he couldn't see that, thank goodness.

we left, he drove me home, he had to help me get back onto my roof, I'm so stupid what did I think I could just fucking spider-man my way up?! I got into bed and couldn't sleep, holy fuck was tonight fun, Luke made it ten times better. 

I just wish I said something, or even did something

I  wish something more happened, but so far my life's so cliche I doubt it will happen until the end of this year.

I just kept thinking about the name Cartoonz, why was it so familiar? why did it seem so natural to call him that? why was it so natural to be called and respond to the name Ohm????

It doesn't make sense in my mind.

then again, my love for this man didn't either.
