Martin Mares

Martin got the pitcher of beer, before following behind Aaron with the container and two glasses. “Your accent is very nice, too.” He complimented back. Not having been around many people with a similar accent as Aaron’s, he found it quite unique and beautiful. “The pyramids are very beautiful. I have never visited them personally, thought.” He explained, then listened to him speak about his family. “That’s pretty amazing. Have you always lived in Boystown?” He began, serving the beer.

Martin felt somewhat embarrassed for not being brave enough to go up and sing. There was nothing to be scare about, he thought after. Still, going in front of a crowd, even a drunken one like this, was easier said that done. “We can share a pitcher of beer.” He offered, shrugging as he looked at Aaron, his Spanish accent thick his words. Martin had the full intention of paying seeing as he had invited Aaron for the drink.

Martin chuckled, awkwardly. Being the center of attention was not something he was used to. He knew he didn’t necessarily need to know the song as karaoke came with the lyrics, but he’d definitely feel more comfortable with Spanish. “Maybe later. After I have a drink.” Again, chuckling awkwardly. “Thank you though. Do you want to have a drink with me?”

Lloyd giggled. “Thanks.” The younger boy ate some of the cotton candy, too. He savored the taste with a smile. “Yeah, I guess.” He agreed. Although, Lloyd was mostly talking about doing things romantically. To him, doing the same thing romantically and in a friendly way, was completely different. The feelings were different and the overall mentally of it just felt different to him, but both felt special in their own way. “But if you steal it, we won’t have it at the sleepovers anymore! You can borrow it, though.” He smiled, finishing the second fluff and turning the machine off. Lloyd smiled. “What should we do now?”

Martin had never had friends that he made out with, or did more. While he was for it, there was a part of him that thought it would ruin the friendship in some way. He had just met Lloyd but already, he knew the other would become a good friend. He didn’t want to do anything, to ruin that. So, he decided he wouldn’t try anything like that. He liked Lloyd too much to do anything more. “I think a better solution is that you make some every day, and we eat it together.” He finished the fluff with a grin. “What else do you do at sleepovers?” 

“It is.” Martin agreed, and even though he couldn’t remember who sung it, he knew he was wildly popular. “What is going on? Is it karaoke?” He looked around. “I do not think so though. Most of the music I know is in Spanish.” He said, shrugging.

“Oh yeah. that’s part of the reason I don’t use dating apps.” He said with a small shrug. Lloyd loved meeting new people but hooking up was not for him. When it came to dating, he thought online was harder than in person. “Thank you. You’re very funny, too.” Lloyd liked this friendship that was developing. Him and Martin got along great. “I feel like romantically, there is more expected. I don’t know how to explain, but also doing those things friendly is much more fun because you can do it with as many people as you want, and romantic you can only do them with one.” He explained his logic. He knew that when it came to romance, one would be enough, but Lloyd had always been someone that preferred friendships over a romance. “Okay, cotton candy is ready.” He said, taking out the first fluff ball. This one is for you my friend.”

Martin was old school, especially when it came to dating. He liked knowing the people in person, going on a few dates, and maybe more if it came up. “Thanks, you are way funnier.” He listened to Lloyd, beginning to eat the candy. “I suppose, but is not that what makes it so special. Only doing it with the person you are romantic with?” Martin asked with a smile, and ate some more of the cotton candy. “Damn, this is delicious.” He said with a smile. “I might just steal your cotton candy machine.” He teased, chuckling.

“Have you tried online dating? I haven’t done it but I know a lot of people who like it. They meet people who are interested in the same things they are.” He said trying to be helpful. If Martin was looking for someone to the pass the time with maybe it was best to find someone that was looking for the same thing. “Awesome! Tell me how it goes because I am invested now and I wanna know if what happens on your date.” He chuckled. “Thank you. I like them too, they help me see everything.” He grinned for a moment. “We met at the club. We danced together all night. Then we kept running into each other, and we started talking more and more. Then we found out we go to the same school. Why we broke up is a long story, but I think it was for the best. We are good friends and I think that is better than boyfriends.” He smiled. “Nooo. You can do them romantically, or you can do them friendly. I like doing them friendly, it’s waaay better.”

“I have not. I have a tinder account but I don’t go on it a lot. Uh.. and I do not think hook ups are for me. I like to get to know the person.” Most of the times he tried those apps, he met guys that mostly wanted a hook up. So he was kind of drawn away from using them. “You are very funny.” Martin couldn’t help but laugh at the other’s commentary. “I will tell you if he says yes.” Martin added, smiling. “I am glad they help you. Eyes are very useful, I think.” He chuckled as well. “Oh. I am glad it worked out for the better. You are very nice Lloyd. So I would not want to lose you either.” He mentioned. “What is the difference doing it romantically or friendly?”

Martin had walked in at the very end of the song, but enjoyed what he got a chance to hear. He clapped for the blond and walked up to him with a smile. “Wait a minute. I know that song. I know it.” He said, and though it was on the tip of his tongue, he didn’t remember. “You were amazing by the way.” 

“You want to have a romantic adventure? Something that isn’t too serious but still as fun as any relationship? I’m sure you can find one. You just gotta put yourself out there as they say.” He giggled. “Smitten means that your feelings are strong. I was only teasing though. I think you should ask why not and try to understand his reason. Hopefully, if he gives you one and it isn’t something mean. But you’re very beautiful, and nice, and fun, and you have a sexy smile as well, so I’m sure he will say yes.” Lloyd said. “Yes, Isaac and me are friends. We used to be boyfriends until he broke up with me. I was sad about it but we’re good now. I like it more as friends.” Lloyd explained. “That’s true but only because he is always with his husband. Yay! Do you also want to make out and cuddle with me, too?”

“Yes, exactly that. Una adventura.” He said, thinking about it. He was just lonely a lot. Mostly because he was away from family, and he spent most of his time working a lot. So he didn’t have that much time to go out and make friends. Thinking about it, he wouldn’t even have time to keep a relationship. “Oh.” He laughed as well. “Yeah, I think you are right. I will ask him the next time I see him.” Martin smiled wide, letting his blush cover his face. “You are flattering me Lloyd. Thank you. You are very beautiful, too. I really like your eyes.” He bit his lip, smiling. “Oh, I did not know that. How did you two meet? Why did he break up with you? You’re a great guy.” He was curious. “Oh, I mean, I would, but that’s kind of a romantic thing to do… don’t you think? Not friends…” He didn’t have a problem with it, if Lloyd didn’t, but he wanted to make sure.

“ You are probably right. Good things come to those who wait.” He said to him. ”But at the same time I do not care if it is true love. I want to have a whole romantic experience. True love will still come down the road.” He said as he thought of it. “What is smitten? I just think he is super hot but if I ask him on a date and he says no?” It was an idea he hadn’t thought about until now, but he could see himself attempting it. “I am sure you are right, he probably has his reasons, everyone does. Are you friends with Isaac?” He hoped he hadn’t said anything that might offend him if they were friends. “Oh if he got married, then I think that means no more playlists for you two. I will make them with you, don’t worry.”

     Michael wore a handsome grin upon his features. Clad in clubbing attire. It was the end of the night. Time to go home, but tonight he had no one by his side. He stood at the edge of the sidewalk, waiting for his Uber. He turned to a male that appeared to be doing the same, though that wan’t clear. “Are you waiting for your ride, as well? If so, you could always get on with me, come to my place.” His suggestive words lingered in the air for a moment as dark hues scanned the other. “I’ll get you another ride later.” 

Martin had spent a few hours out at a club. He was enjoying himself, but at the end of the night, he was ready to go home and sleep. That was until he heard someone else speaking to him. He smiled and looked Michael’s way. It took him a moment to realize what the other was suggesting. “Yeah, I was.” He chuckled awkwardly for a moment. His Spanish accent very thick in his tone. “I don’t know, I have to be up pretty early tomorrow.” He said, though he didn’t sound very convincing. 

"Hi. You should probably go to sleep. How long was your night shift?” He asked wondering how the guy was even up right now. Martin hated night shifts and he immediately slept right after.
