Ashley Jenkins

The sun was out today, making everything happy, colorful and bright. Including Ashley. Today, he was wearing a bright orange windbreaker from Babycakes along with a baby blue tee from the same store. His lower half was covered in a pair of black and white pinstriped pants. He had on his feet a pair of zeebra-printed creepers from Hot Topic and his hair wass playfully mussed to it's usual messy proportions. Basically, he kind of looked like some little weird kid who escaped from the circus. He didn't care though.

Usually, Ashley had his shadow, otherwise known as Trainwreck, with him, but today, he didn't. He'd decided to buy a surprise for his new Irish Wolfhound and didn't want the dog to know. So, he left the dog in the new dog pen he'd bought just for the dog. Seeing as he did live only a few minutes away from the pet store, he decided to walk. Maybe he could get a coffee too.

And that's what he did. Ashley made a bee-line for the small Italian coffee shop across the street. He ran ascross the street quickly, soon arriving at the shop. He was quickly inveloped in the lovely scent of strong, Italian coffee and pastries. He sighed happily and walked up to the counter, ordering a mocha frap with a few extra shots of chocolate as well as a chocolate chip cookie.

He recieved the food a few moments later and took them to one of the really tall tables. Ashley took a sip of his drink and sighed happily.

Jared

Jared walked alone through town. He had lived here almost all his life and knew the place like the back of his gloved hand. He lived on a farm currently, he shared the place with his brothers. Normally on a sunny bright day like this he would be out riding his horse. But for some reason Jared had decided against it and had gone into town.

In the back of his mind he kinda hoped to find some cute chicks to goggle at, and maybe if he was really lucky a few guys too. He didn't really have many friends because everyone thought he was a bit too different. After all he didn't exactly dress like your usual hard working, sweat gushing, hotty hot farm boy. He usually dressed in black jeans and a leather or jeans jacket, which would be normal usually, if not for the added chains, spikes, and a hell of a lot of bracelets, not to mention his wacky hair. Of course sometimes he would come into town in the mornings, shirtless, after working on the farm a bit, getting hay for the day, feeding the animals, grab some coffee and maybe some lunch and pretty much act like the farm boy he was.

Today was one of those shirtless days. If anyone looked he just smiled, who could blame them, a farm boy does tend to have abnormally large muscles and abs, might as well show em off once in a while. It was hot outside and he had been working double because his brothers were both on a trip. He saw that the coffee shop was conveniently near and air condishioned and was the only place that was crowded but didn't have a line waiting to get in. He walked to the counter and ordered his usual coffee and cakes which were ready and waiting for him, the shop owners had learned a. not to keep a farm boy waiting and b. he would be there at least 4 days a weak with the same order.

With his food in his hand he glanced around the room, every seat was full, as usual. He turned to his usual spot at one of the tall tables, the one that was never sat in and was suprised to find another guy there, kinda cute he thought as he made his way over.

Ashley

Ashley leaned back in his chair and stretched much like a cat. His arms were strectched across the back, his wrists akimbo. He dug down into his pocket after this 'show' and pulled out his iPod touch. Yeah, Ash had a touch. Aaaaand a sidekick. What now? Annnyways, he got out his iPod. That's what he did.

Placing the earbuds in his ears, Ashley poked the play symbol and allowed Ollie Sykes' screaming voice fill his ears and the immediate area surrounding him. He kept one earphone in and one out, just in case someone asked him if he wanted a go in the men's bathroom...Haha. As if. This town had a sucky-ass gay community. Hell, it had almost NO gay community. Ash huffed at the thought and took a savage sip from his frapp.

Then, he saw him. That gorgeous man that walked into the cafe. Shirtless, at that. Hello. Ash tried to subtly stare at the man, which worked out damn poorly. He finally gave it up and openly stared at the shirtless, long haired, slightly sweaty beauty that was ordering his food. Ooooh, nice ass too. Ash STILL stared even as the male walked towards him. Oh Jesus. Oh god. That's all that was running through Ashley's mind as he watched him. He raised a hand in greeting and practically squeaked, "Hi!"

Jared

Jared couldn't help but blush a bit and smile at the fact that the man was staring at him. As he got closer he took a good long look at him, gorgeos, hmmm He stood up a bit straighter now and made sure his pants were low enough.

When he finally reached the table he ran his hand through his long, but slightly sweaty, red-brown-blond hair and smiled. This friendly little smile of his turned to a huge toothy one when the man squeked his little hi.

stay calm, stay calm, don't rush or nuthin' he retorted himself repeatedly. He pulled the tall chair back, making sure to flex his muscles a bit, of course and then half jumped half slid into it. "hey, I'm Jared, but you can call me what you like most people do. You new around here? haven't seen you before"

His voice was rich and chocolaty smooth. It had a bit of a south meets london and has a fight with spain accent to it. His eyes were a deep blue-green with a few gold specks in it that shined like his own galaxy when the right light hit them.

Ashley

Ashley giggled softly as he watched the other male primp a bit. Very nice. He followed the man's actions and ran a hand through his own hair. He turned his head a little to check his makeup(foundation and coverup mostly) in the mirrored napkin holder. Yeah, he wears makeup. How else could he accomplish the look he so desired? Precisely. Only the magic of makeup can do that.

Another giggle escaped the male as the other gave him a toothy grin. Probably laughing at how fucking gay I am. I can be such a diva. Mentally, Ash smacked himself as he took in the other man's general looks. That long hair and those eyes. That's what really drove him wild. The body was nice. Especially to look at, but Ashley really never did rate on muscles or any of that kind of stuff. Most of the guys he'd dated and/or had sex with were kind of scrawny and really pale. But always, always, always, they had gorgeous eyes and hair. AL-FRIGGIN-WAYS!

A grin found it's way onto Ashley's face as the other spoke. He could hear the subtle differences and quirks in his voice and almost melted there on the spot. Gorgeous. He sipped his coffee quickly, hoping it would clear his muddled head a bit. It did and he finally spoke. "It's nice to meet you Jared. Mind if I call you Jare-Bear? I'm Ashley, by the way, but any cute name you come up with will work." He stopped speaking for a moment, his voice slightly childish and high-pitched with a bit of a British accent hidden among it. He did, afterall, spend ten years in Britain with his adoptive parents.

"No, I'm not really new. Been here for a little while. I just tend to keep to myself. Been kind of depressed for awhile. You know." He shrugged lightly and crossed one leg over the other, taking a small bite out of his muffin. He was trying not to look like some kind of rhino while he was eating. Jesus, who would want to talk to a stupid rhino? No one. Ash smiled and looked back at Jared, his chocolate staring into the other's sea one.

Jared

Jared swung a bit on the chair, back and forth and back and forth, it was an old habit of his. He hooked his feet behind the bars on each side of the chair and wiggled them around a bit, another odd habit. His pants had begun to ride up a bit and he lifted his ass off the chair and readjusted himself a bit before settling back down into the tall chair and then resting his elbow on the table with his chin half on his hand.

He laughed a bit at the immidiate nickname. "well alright, Jare-bear it is! Nice to meet ya ash, I think I'll cal you... boo" He smiled brightly and took a sip of his coffee with his chin still delicatly on his hand. He nodded at the answer to his next question. He knew what being depressed was like and man did it suck. "yeah, I know how you feel" he replied in his rich chocolaty accent.

He moved back and then up again on the chair. There was one question still running through his head that he was aching to ask but he didn't want to make a fool of himself on the first imression, especially in front of this damn good lookin young man sitting opposite him. Jared wiped a bit of sweat form his fore head. Then he straightened up and bent backwards off the chair. His entire upper body was hangin on the other side and from a profile agnel it would have looked as though he were folded completly in half. He reached his arms up, or in this case down towards the floor and then grabbed the wrists and stretched long and hard.

When he was done he sat back up almost cat like and returned to staring at the other as if nothing had happened. He ran his and through his hair once more to make sure it hadn't gotten messed up, because of course if he had messy hair he would just about die. He was still having a war up in his head as to whether or not to ask the question.

Ashley

Ashley watched the other boy with a cocked eyebrow and gaily covered his mouth with his hand. Wow, he was so cute with all those little habits. Ashley had some strange ones, of course, but he usually tried to control these quirks if he was trying to impress someone. He giggled softly, his hand still covering his mouth.

At the other man's laugh, Ashley smiled faintly. Then, his nickname came about. That made him simply beam. "Ohmigosh! I love my name! Thankies Jare-bear." He giggled rather loud and covered his mouth in embarassment. Whoops. Sometimes he was just to gay to even stand it. Haha. As if.

Again, he watched the other male stretch. God, he was flexible. Ash's eyes darkened only a little from lust and he licked his lips. Wow. Just wow. He leaned back in his chair, showing his own flexibility and grabbed the back of the chair, arching his back. It popped and Ash squeaked, coming straight back up, his hair extremely poofy and his face glowing from slight embarassment.

Jared

Jared smiled again and watched as the other did his own little stretch. When it cracked loudly and the man sat up looking very embarrassed Jared couldn't help himself and began cracking up. He rocked in his chair a bit. He seemed to be thinking about somehting. Finally an expression crossed his face showing he had come to a conlusion about whatever he had been thinking about. He reached his let arm across his body and grabbed his wrist with his right. Then he pulled them up and over his head and then back down around the back of his chair. As he did so both of his shoulders cracked loudly and visibly popped. He released his hands when they got to the point of the chair legs.

"no worries Boo, loud noises happen" He laughed again at how stupid he sounded. When he realized the other's heair was ever so slightly messed up and poofy he reached his muscle bound arm across the table "may I?" he asked as he smoothed the other man's hair back to it's original nicely mussed upyness.

Ashley

Ash tentatively watched Jared as he laughed before joining in. He stopped laughing for a moment to watch Jared's rocking and obvious contemplation. He cocked his head to the side, some of the hair falling over there and his eyes gave the look of a confused puppy. One of his hands found it's way into his black 'emo' hair, twirling a lock lightly while the other simply rested on the table, near his muffin.

His nickname brought him back to reality. Ash giggled lightly and smiled. "Yes, of course, Jare-Bear." He snickered lightly and watched as Jared's hand fixed his hair. Ash smiled softly and leaned forward a bit to allow him better access. He giggled softly and smiled. This was nice....
