Christ don’t tell me Reed s still missing?

Ash had always been good at pushing buttons. Finding out what made people tick was entertaining and one of the main ways they spent their time. It didn’t matter if it was in person or through simple interactions online. They would always push and poke and prod until they got something interesting out of the interaction or until they got bored. It was always difficult to determine which would happen first when it came to Ash. Their attention was easily won and even more easily lost.

The fact that Ash was preparing to go out to dinner and then a club for the evening was evidence that, in this instance, their attention hadn’t been lost yet. They were being provided a meal and something interesting to do with their evening with multiple ways to make them pleased. Not only did they like being the object of someone’s affections, but they liked having the option, when asked by their ‘parents’ where they were going, to say on a date with someone they met online. It hadn’t escaped their notice that they didn’t know who they were meeting. Hadn’t even asked a name. It wasn’t very important in the end, they had their own assumptions about who would be meeting them.

If nothing else, they planned on making a good impression. Which was to say they planned on looking good and turning heads, because that was always their plan. Extra time spent making sure their eyeliner was perfect. Their pants riding just a little too low, hugging them just below their hip bones. Their shirt riding up just a little too easily when they shifting or stretched. Low cut and thin. Running a hand through their bright red hair, they smirked at themselves. More pleased than usual with the result of their effort, they were heading out of their room. The conversation that hindered their actual exit from the house--or fight, rather--was more heated than many of the fights they’d caused with the two parental stand-ins.
