turn me down

▲▼ – “You fucking bitch!” It was pretty late at night but Dru was up and as energetic as ever. The sound of glass shattering against the wall echoed as the male busied himself with throwing vases after a currently retreating guy who was mumbling out apologies as he gathered his stuff to run. Dru followed close behind as the other ran down the sidewalk, fixing his clothes. “We’re fucking done!” He was clutching a pipe in his hand as he squinted in the direction but soon took note of a girl standing not too far away and coughed. “Uh…sorry about that.” Dru laughed as he turned to bow. “Did I uh wake you up or were you going this way already?”

▲▼ – Dru was in a good mood, he was humming to himself as he made his way along the sidewalk. Reaching up he ran his fingers through his jet black locks and lowered his eyelids halfway. He was on his way to meet up with one of his friends. “Here we are.” Dru stopped and stared up at the apartment building and squinting before pointing at a certain window where the light was still on even if it was a bit past 3am. “That one.” He stepped back and glanced around before starting to climb his way up with no thought of being caught. Making his way up to the window he opened it with ease before climbing inside. “I can always count on you to be awake, what are you up to?” A cold breeze followed him in, making him turn to close the window just like they had it before. “Busy?” Walking over he plopped down right next to them with no thought of leaving until later. 

▲▼ – It was one of Dru’s fits. Here he was sitting near piles and piles of broken glass with his head in his hands. It was quite obvious the glass came from the store right next to him since it was missing all its windows but it was after hours and one of those hole in the wall shops. The sound of footsteps was enough to pull Dru out of his own thoughts and he looked over with sharp eyes. He didn’t know this person but someone worked. It didn’t matter if he knew them or not, anybody would work. Pressing his hands to the ground, he pushed himself up and into a standing position. Brushing the small pieces of glass off his hands he slowly approached the male slowly. With no hesitation he stood slightly behind him and reached out, gripping onto the back of his jacket and staring at his face. His pale lips pressed into a thin line with no intent of speaking up and explaining what he was up to. 

▲▼ -- It was Dru’s kind of night, colder than usual and also the weekend. There were so many people getting drunk and it would make it way easier for the male. Walking over to an older male who sat alone, tossing back another shot. “Mind if I join?” His voice was soft and sweet as he sat down across from the other, a smile adorning his angel like features. The older seemed more than surprised as he tried to straighten himself up. “Do you love me?” Dru’s question was simple and almost in a dumb state the older nodded. That caused the younger to smile brightly and tilted his head to the side. But soon his expression went sour when his eyes landed on someone else. 

      “Whoa” For once Dru was at a lost for what to say to the other about all his problems. “Wait...so all this happened and you decided to go to a strip club? You’re weird.” Maybe that was a bit harsher than he meant it to be but he was just confused why someone like him would come to a place like this when all of this was happening to him. Dru coughed awkwardly before slowly shrugging his shoulders. “Shit happens man, you can’t do nothing but get up and brush yourself off and keep going. Crying isn’t going to fix anything, you know?” Licking his lips he shifted to get into a comfortable position and tilted his head as he handed the other a few napkins to wipe his face. “Straighten up.” 

He reached up to rub at his temples with a sigh, shaking his head as he dropped the pipe. “You’re by the Han, you’re that drunk you don’t know?” Dru snorted and shook his head, moving his hands into his pocket as he leaned against the wall to his apartment building. “Hey if you ever see that asshole around anywhere let me know so I can come and murder him.” Dru rarely opened himself up to people and since he did, this is what he gets. Being cheated on. The vampire reached up and ran his fingers through his hair. “It’s pretty late, you should make your way home bud.” 

      The other did seem really down and that made Dru curious about what could have happened to him. Drinking from his water bottle, he glanced around teh place before finally speaking up once more. “So..what’s got you so down?” Moving to rest his cheek against his palm, he focused his full attention on the other. “Usually I’m supposed to get you to get a personal room since you seem down but I feel like just talking so talk to me about it.” 

       He wasn’t impatient perse but he just hated waiting for so long. Dru stood in line, shifting his weight every now and again before watching the cashier scan the person before him items one at a time after inspecting it for so long. Breathing out harshly through his nose, he stared at the candy in his hands before going back to fidgeting. “Oh my god.” He spoke under his breath and reached up to rub his eyes. “I just want some candy...that’s it man..some candy..” Moving out of line he put the sweet back and turned to make his way out and walked straight into someone. “Oh shit sorry, are you okay?” 

      Dru managed to get out of going up on stage tonight since he wasn’t feeling it. The crowd was too rowdy for him and he didn’t want to deal with the shouting and people trying to get on stage or just grab him. “You alright?” He took note of a guy sitting alone and offered him a kind smile as he moved to sit down across from him. “You seem to be pretty down to be in a strip club right now.” The way the male was dressed you would think he was attending instead of working right now. “Have a drink, it’s on me. Promise I didn’t drug it.” Dru laughed as he nudged the glass over to the other and started playing it. “Call me Chi.” 

      Their laughter echoed down the alleyway, Dru was watching one of his coworkers stumble his way around and couldn’t keep from laughing. Ever since his change he personally can’t drink unless he tries really hard but his friend was far gone. “Yah! You better stop before you fall down the stairs.” Stuffing his hands in his pockets he smiled as he watched his friend slide their way down the steps until they fell into someone. “Ah my bad, they’re pretty hammered.” He sighed and made his way down to start working on peeling his friend off the ground. “Are you okay though? He’s pretty heavy. You’re not hurt any?”
