Re: Ryan/Greg #2- Nevada Isn't That Far Away, Either
Awww Szmandatogoholic, I'm sorry to hear that. Plese feel better soon, perhaps think of the boys when you are going under, there might be some awesome dreams!
And speaking of dreams, I'm workin on writing a bit of that. Plus I came up with a title. Without anymore waiting I present a bit more of Close Encounters of the Odd Kind.
The early morning sun filtered through the curtains and onto the sleeping man’s back. He twisted in the sheet that cocooned his body, his face pointed away from the sun causing him to fall back into a deep sleep. The alarm beeped and Ryan hit the clock with as much force as he could muster. Even if it was 7 am, he was still having issues internally adjusting to the later time. After a quick shower and breakfast, Ryan was out the door and soon speeding though the Miami traffic.
Coffee was the first thing on Greg’s mind when he emerged from the shower, using the semi absorbent towel over his body. After dressing in jeans and his favorite Marilyn Manson t-shirt, he made his way downstairs and outside into the bright morning sun. After peaking in the windows of a few shops and seeing how full they were, Greg finally found one that wasn’t very busy and proceeded in the door to find food and drink. After he ordered he took a copy of the free offering daily newspaper and read the front page when the bell on the door chimed.
Ryan needed the caffeine before heading to work, this wasn’t an ordinary day he was expanding the social circle and it scared him just a bit. This reflected well in his order when he asked for double the usual amount of espresso. He didn’t even notice the man reading the newspaper as he hurried past shoving a scone in his mouth and trying to open the door at the same time. Greg saw the man struggling with the door and hurried to help.
“I think you might need an extra hand.” Greg offered as he held the door for Ryan.
“Thanks, it’s been a rough morning.” Ryan answered as a few scone crumbs escaped his mouth and fell to the floor, he gave a smile to the door holder as he exited.
“You’re welcome.” Greg answered as Ryan passed by and headed for his car.
As Ryan got into his car the image on the door holders shirt was a bit familiar but he couldn’t place where. Instead of dwelling on it, he shifted the car into gear and continued his journey to the gun range to try to not accept a date to the next high school homecoming.
“Light blue, must be a popular color in this part of the country.” Greg muttered to himself as he sat back down at the table.
The color struck something in his over charged memory, the color that his friend would be wearing later. Greg picked up the advertisement section and noticed that there was a local public gun range and decided that it was time he learn to use a fire arm, perhaps he could convince Grissom and Ecklie that he needed one, pronto.
