Thread: There Is a Light this Darkness Can't Hide. [Wreckles & Dreamer-]

Hugo had just gotten up from the sofa to get another beer from the fridge, in the kitchen he saw the headlights of a unfamiliar car pulling up on his driveway. Background music bathed his house in a peculiar way, he could still hear peoples conversations and they were held so that no one had to raise their voice. An impudent grin pasted itself on his features as he saw who it was who stepped out. Curiosity is a gifted temptress... The host of the party looked a little different than what he had done earlier during the day, he had the time to shave and now dressed for the occasion. A sleeved light-blue shirt along with dark jeans made up for his attire for the evening, his hair had better structure now and he smelled nice after the shower. He had put on his heavy silver ring on his left hand and jerked at it as he grabbed two beers and went to answer the doorbell. Making his way through some other unknown people Hugo went to the door and opened it, on the porch stood Dreamer, she looked exactly like Hugo had remembered her albeit a little nervous perhaps. What's the secret password? He flashed her a smile and waited a couple of moments, enough for her to wonder if there had actually been one before he laughed with his deep voice and took her hand with his free one and gently pulled her above the threshold. Welcome to my little home Dreamer, it's not too fancy but it is mine... Let me take your coat. Stepping over a couple of shoes he hanged up her coat in the closet before taking another firm grip of her hand and leading her into his home. They passed a couple of people with drinks in hand, Hugo took the opportunity to say hello to the new faces but other than that he paid no attention to others. His company for the evening had arrived and he was eager to explore who or what she really was. Playing the gracious host Hugo led Dreamer to the most concentrated area of people he had left earlier. Make some room. It was more of a command than anything else and the two people who sat in the couch either scooted down to the carpet or to a provisional chair nearby, both looking content even as they had been chased away. Hugo put down his new guest before sitting down beside her. Adam was there and while he had brought his new girlfriend with him he was now obviously intruiged of the company Hugo had brought to the proverbial table. Well who's the new face! Aren't you gonna introduce her to us? Some host you are! Hugo snarled at his friend, the two of them had always bickered in a most playful manner ever since the day they met. Turning his attention to Dreamer, Hugo gazed at her like he had done in the bar earlier today, letting a couple of seconds tick away before Adam's drumming of his knuckles against the wooden table in front of them brought him back. This here is Dreamer. Adam almost interrupted him Dreamer? What kind of name is that? I won't be able to remember that, I shall call you hairs. His girlfriend gave him a light smack at the back of his head and the two of them fell into a lovers quarrel, something about Adam being insensetive. Hugo didn't really listen. Ignore him, he has never made much sense. He flashed his guest a grin. Almost forgetting he had two cans of beer in his hand he offered Dreamer one It's not the good kind Marv has down at the bar but it shall take us through the evening. Although they were surrounded by people, most of them chatting with everyone nearby Hugo didn't seem to pay them any attention. It was like it was just the two of them there. I wasn't sure you'd show up The immodest grin on his face returned. But I'm glad you did. He took a sip of his beer before placing it down on the table where it mingled among many others. But why are you here? What did you see to make you come back? Hugo pondered the cause for a few moments before Adam interjected. So Hairs, are you familiar with the game pyramid? Without giving Dreamer the chance to say yes or no he rambled on. It's quite simple really, you use a deck of cards and put one card at the top, two cards beneath it and so on until you have seven rows. Then you make your way down, for every clothed card you take two, three,four or five sips. Obviously two is jack and five is ace. You pick a card on each lane and if it's a clothed card you start back up at the top. So if you're lucky you get to drink a lot! Adam put a strange emphasis on the rules, like you were winning the more clothed cards you drew. Hugo knocked with his silver ring on the table, he had not planned on making this into a drinking contest but now his playfulness had come out. And instead of throwing Dreamer to the wolves from the beginning he got up from the couch and said I'll go first. But we're gonna need some more beers...
