HADLEY: looking for company and opinions SOS

SUNNY: YES go out! if you end up unwell, i will cover you no worries, babe. you should celebrate for sure, you work so hard while some of us are hardly working ;)

Working as a receptionist at the hotel was slightly exhausting. She was the person that everyone saw when their first walked into the hotel - that besides the person who often opened the door for them. She was the person who was supposed to give the hotel a good first impressional. A lot of times when people would first walk up to her to check in, they’d be tired. It was a hotel after all. Some guests were great while some were a piece of work. Xiomara would never tell anyone the real reason she worked there; it would be a secret for now. After a long shift, she clocked out, changed out of her work clothes and made her way through Brighton. She pulled her camera out of her purse and started taking a few pictures, purposely taking shots of other people so she could try to keep tabs on them. It’s been a year since she’s been at Brighton, but she’s still wanting to know everything about everyone. It’ll get her in trouble one day, but she’s not too concerned right now.

so, this is what the brits call summer. seventy damn degrees with wind, and there’s homies in cargo shorts and honeys in itty-bitty shorts. if he’s honest, he can’t truly complain about the latter. 

he tugs a camel from his pack and tucks it between his lips. long digits slip into his back pocket to find it empty and wet. he lets out a quiet curse. no lighter, no life. he flags down the next passerby with a slick grin.             ‘   hey– gotta light ? ’ 

It’s not all that much warmer than a Parisian summer day but Sunny’s still sweating. And why? Because his aesthetic refuses to allow him not to wear all black on a day he’s off of work. The leather jacket might have been a step too far and he’s regretting it somewhat as he beelines his way toward the beach. It was completely and totally punk rock to kick off your boots and dip your toes into the water in the case of a heat emergency, he decides.

—— he’s not sure what he’s expecting as wanders into the dimly lit bar, patrons everywhere, munching on their greasy food with the utmost delight. a flyer remains in his hand, clutched tightly as if he’s afraid to let it go. since arrive in brighton, sunny had made haste to seem to avoid the blonde, but there was no way he could run this time. after all, he was one of the main performers, and it’d be rather unprofessional for him to leave. a diabolical plan is not something bowie had been considering for the day, but once he had found the flyer whilst walking around the pier, he knew he had to see him. his eyes wandered over to the black stage as he found himself a booth fairly close to the front, itching to see the boy perform. for ages, he had been relying on his memory of the other singing beautiful melodies, too terrified to come to the diner to see him until now. he didn’t know why, but a feeling of confidence hung over him like sunlight after clouds parted, illuminating every fiber in his body. he was visibly nervous as he awaited for the other to take the stage, his thoughts clouded with visions of just how he’d look once his pretty eyes landed upon bowie’s. would he be happy? angry? there was no telling with him, really. the realization made him fidget harder in his seat, fingers clutching at his jeans desperately.

@scntinos

- basically a lil, queer, punk tinkerbell who will die if you don’t love him - santino is his real name but he goes by sunny p much exclusively. only call him santino if you’re mad @ him ? he will get really pouty and it’s kind of cute but don’t call him that either. - he’s a tiny italian but he grew up in france so he speaks both italian and french fluently w/ a heavy french accent. like he’s gonna have a french accent to his english too but i will likely not be writing it so you’ll please have to use your imaginations ~ - his family moved to brighton when sunny was 18. his wanderlust bitten parents wanted a change of scenery to inspire them (they’re both very artsy in their own ways) and they ended up in cute lil brighton england with all its pastel houses and pretty beach sunsises - which is lowkey the opposite of sunny? he’s dark clothing and the nightlife scene - despite his resident edgelord status, he works @ blue moon diner and basically covers diva jams through the eras bc he can kill those high notes. honestly, if you’ve ever heard mitch’s voice, i couldn’t take that away from dear sunny but imagine a french tint to him vocally - his true inspiration, though, is the pop punk rock scene. he wants to be the frontman of a pop punk band and his entire style aesthetic matches that desire: dyed hair, piercings, ink, etc - watch THIS VIDEO for pure sunny aesthetic - sunny is passionate, loud, crass, and coy. his interests include music, sarcasm, pretending he’s taller than he really is and flirting. he’ll flirt with everyone but he’s only romantically / sexually interested in men / nb folk. casual sex is a gift in his book though he has dated before. - back in paris, he had a best friend turned boyfriend named bowie (all the b’s apparently). bowie was special because bowie gave sunny every last drop of his affection which is really sunny’s turn on. as someone confident in his self expression and out here to turn heads, he captured bowie’s eye and hasn’t ever shaken it, honestly. he felt worshiped and it made for a decent romantic relationship. - however, sunny’s REALLY not the kind to commit. it’s a grass is greener on the other side kind of curse and once he found himself in deep, he got spookened. logically he PROBABLY should have ended things with bowie and let the poor sap have some closure but no. flighty impulsive sunny had to ghost and leave things up in the air. really he was asking for bowie to follow him smh. - with friendships as well as relationships he’s kind of… demanding. like he CRAVES all attention on him and wants to be the object of everyone’s desire. it’s different from pip in that he’s more whiny and stroppy about it. probably to the point of annoyance but that’s his problem. he’ll basically just do whatever to make sure people like him. - sunny is a perfectionist and actually suffers from mild ocd personality disorder. his symptoms primarily manifest in detail / list preoccupation, an inability to find satisfaction with certain things, a stubbornness in his opinion that goes beyond rational, and an inability to ask others for help since he refuses to allow anything to be done less than perfectly. it impacts his relationship as well and is cause for him to occasionally act out against authority. but if he trusts you, that trust is all encompassing. - he’s gluten intolerant! he occasionally does graffiti around brighton! he’s only 5′5! idk there are lots of tiny details about him you can go read HERE if you’re interested

      with a small smile oliver unwraps the band-aid and leans over enough to wrap the sticky plastic around the pinky on sunny’s opposite hand, so that when the two of them have their fingers linked the band-aids will touch. oliver is completely unaware as to why that’s that reason, especially because he shouldn’t be thinking about linking their fingers together but here he is, thinking about linking their fingers together. oliver is very gentle when he pulls his hands away from sunny’s and into his own lap. if olliver weren’t afraid to show his artwork to the entire universe, then maybe he would bring in some of his paints, and paint flowers growing around a microphone, or some growing out of eye sockets that belong to a face that looks a lot like sunny’s. he’ll have to settle for a signature,and a little message. 

       “are you sure? with all the pain medicine you’re on i bet you wouldn’t even feel it, and it’ll be done healing by the time you don’t need any medicine by mouth. right now might be the best time.” oliver chuckles, looking around the room for a marker to sign the cast with. “i would love to sign your cast, darling.” oliver reaches out to rest his hand on top of sunny’s forearm, careful to avoid any IV’s or wires that might be scattered on the bed, connected t object he has no idea what they do. his thumb brushes gently against the other’s arm, as he tells himself this wasn’t your fault, but maybe if you had been there they would have been safe.

     for whatever reason, the delicate way in which ollie is handling them nearly makes sunny’s eyes well up with tears. they don’t really consider themselves a ‘crier’ -- it takes a really sad movie or cancer by mcr to bring on the waterworks and, even then, it’s more of a delicate sniffle than a full blown ugly cry. and yet, here they are, with a tightness swelling in their chest as they watch ollie’s nimble fingers wrap a hello kitty plaster ‘round their pinky. “a work of art,” they trill, examining the end result, only slightly disappointed to find that oliver pulls his hand entirely away from sunny’s touch. they want to readjust their position but sunny’s quickly learned that at least in the early days of the break, relief from the tingles of sitting in one place too long was not worth the agonizing aches the movement causes.
