Thread: The boy's just no good. {missedstations x HKitten}

Well, there was really no point in lying if a he had to look twice at Nathan lab geek could tell what was on his mind. 'And I would, but the last time I tried that man almost broke my wrist,' he replied, flicking his eyes in the direction of the security guard. Ren felt insanely jealous of anyone who was able to hold a real job, who had a wage and a proper salary. Who could afford enough to eat, to be able to smirk at him while he was considering whether he could afford it, run fast enough, or if he should just leave it. The first option was not really on the table. Really, enjoying a couple of apples now was not worth the hole in his budget later. And if he was any good at stealing, he wouldn't be a whore. As for a real job, he was barely literate. Who would employ him? As a child, he'd been thrown from foster home to foster home, until one day he just disappeared, and no one much cared to look for him. He had learned valuable lessons from his life Ren may have difficulty with a book, but he could read what a person wanted in a second. He'd kept himself alive for five years now. And he was pretty damn good at sucking cock. Maybe he'd replied the way he did to shock the man. Sometimes he just couldn't resist, especially when they looked at him like that. Perhaps he was too quick to judge, but it was better than to make the call too late. Yes, he knew he was a pretty boy. It would really be preferred if all those measuring looks didn't get sent his way when he wasn't working. 'Quite nice of him to still let me come in, I s'pose,' he continued rather conversationally, deliberately meeting Nathan's blue eyes. He was definitely trying to make the man uncomfortable, but that didn't make his words any less true.

Tilting his head to the side, Nathan didn??t lose his smirk as he wasn??t exactly ignored, but the reply was rather generic. Then again, he supposed that was how strangers met. ??Well, certainly a way to get your food, though I??d have to say, that??s more expensive in the long run if he did break your wrist.? the blonde replied in turn, like he found stealing an everday conversation. Placing the apple he held down to pick up another one. This one was rather sweet, but instead of placing it into his basket he held, he held it out to the stranger, almost as a peace offering. A hopefully dashing smile took the place of the smirk, as he didn??t want to appear like a complete jack-ass to someone. They were all in hard times, the infrastructure of the city was already falling apart as they spoke, and he figured that there was no need to destroy the social structure if he could help it. ??Instead of stealing those apples there, how about you save a few pounds and join me for lunch? My treat.? It had been a spur of the moment offering, something people didn??t give out freely these days. Money had always been the center of many things, but even more so nowadays, it wasn??t something that could be used like spare change could. But this person was attractive, and though he??d say it was partially due to his looks, it was also because the aura around him seemed alluring. As he waited for a reply, other customers gathered around the produce area, fetching what they needed for themselves. The same elderly women had been rather exhausted from going around buying things, so one of the security guards had been asked to escort her around for the remainder of her shopping trip. It was there that the guard gave a sharp glance to Ren, as if he knew what could happen with the previous offender.

Nathan could hardly be surprised that Ren's first reaction was suspicion. Generally people just didn't offer him anything. But a relatively free lunch, he really couldn't say no to that. Of course there may be subsequent conditions, but that didn't really matter. Food was food. That and Ren's entire job was based on getting inappropriate situations with perfect strangers. Picking up john in the middle of the night on a dirty street was far more dangerous than being picked up in a supermarket. 'I have nothing better to do,' Ren replied. It was as much of an acceptance speech as anyone was ever going to get out of him. He considered his own words valuable, and his more positive sentiments were rarely expressed. Not that they were never expressed a few very privileged people had woken up in his bed, to the smell of cooking. He didn't reach across for the apple. It felt distinctly inappropriate with the security guard still looking at him. Half-mockingly, he bowed to Nathan and motioned in the direction of the checkout. It would be nice to actually take some painkillers at this point. He distinctly doubted that the other man had ever needed to beg for food, but things were different only a few metres down the street. It was really kinda novel for him to actually be having something that could be considered a conversation with someone who was at least slightly richer than him. It was a distinct problem of Western capitalism stratification of society and low social mobility. Not that those words actually meant much to Ren.

At Ren??s reply, his grin widened. Truly, he hadn??t expected the other male to pick up on the offer, because nothing was tackier than picking up a lunch date at the supermarket? was there? Well, whatever the case was, he wasn??t going to back down now that he had an abrupt date. Placing the apple in his basket and grabbing a few more, he followed the other male towards the checkout and brought his items. The security guard didn??t stop them, as he wasn??t about to go cause trouble from an actual customer. If the brunette made any move to mug the blonde, then other guards would be on the previous offender??s form faster than a john to a whore. ??My name??s Nathan, but you may call me Nate. May I inquire the name of my date?? he asked, paying the clerk his pounds before waiting for the brunette. While waiting, he wondered where they could go for lunch. It wasn??t as if he was some rich business owner, with enough money to throw around, but he wasn??t someone who would bring their date to a junky restaurant. Heading outwards with light conversation, he decided to take his date to a local restaurant that served Italian food one of the slightly fancy, but moderate expense range. The supermarket might have been rather crisp for its type of business, especially in the less ??richer?? area of the city, but its surrounding was trashed. Infrastructure was truly failing, as he could clearly see buildings not look as kept as they had once been. He could almost smell the pollution in the air, and wondered if the Clean Air Act for the global scale had finally ran its course and was no long relevant, now that they were all probably choking on their own smoke and breath. ??Sooner or later, the world will suffocate itself??? he thought to himself, pulling out an apple and offering it to Ren once more, now that they were out of the supermarket. ??For you?? he had noticed that the other male wanted one, but had been rather hesitant.

It was funny, but he actually had to think about how he should answer Nate's question. He had given out so many false names that he had to stop before replying and consider his answer. He wasn't working so he might as well go with his real one. 'I'm... Ren.' He had no idea what idiot had given him that stupid name, rather than something normal . And no, he really wasn't French, and he had never been to France. Most of it was underwater, right? And Ren couldn't really afford to get a passport, let alone a fare out of the country. He paid for his purchases in exact change, putting them in a cloth bag he pulled out of his pocket. That recycling thing had just made it cheaper to have reusable bags, and with the store's bags ten pence each... He really did count every penny. At least he was bloody good at mental arithmetic. The security guards still let him come because even thought occasionally he did get away with lifting an item or two, he generally paid for most of his purchases. Ren was not the sort to upset the status quo too much. He never tried to steal anything expensive, so in the long run, why did it really matter? Nor did he get involved in any other crime, and occasionally all they had to do was twist his arm a bit to make him temporarily give up. As soon as they were outside, he popped a couple of the painkillers. They were a luxury to him. Usually he'd just go to sleep with a hot water bottle over his bruises, but sometimes it was just so good to be able to not feel the pain at all for a while. That bastard from last night... Goddamn arsehole. Why did some idiots think it was fine to beat the shit out of him for trying to make a living? But this was not really the time to feel pissed off. Outside, he accepted the apple with a muttered 'Thanks' and polished it against his coat. 'Don't mind if I save it for later?' he said, adding it to the contents of his bag.

Upon hearing the name, he tilted his head in observation of his date. Brunette hair, rather attractive green eyes? it wasn??t like there was a set image to someone that was considered a Frenchmen, and while the name and face matched up well, it sent him wondering. France was underwater, but so was most of Europe after the tsunami that swept from the Atlantic. There were few places on Earth that wasn??t wrecked with some sort of natural disaster, but even fewer places weren??t heavily affected by the economic depression that the world has come to. ??Go right ahead.? he rolled his shoulders, not caring what the other male did with the gifted apple. ??So, are you from France?? it was possible, since after the flood, people had hurried to escape the area and were given passports to another, nearby land. As they continued to wander down the streets, it became more apparent to the eye that wasn??t used to London??s changes. Monuments of various things had been destroyed in earthquakes, land was sometimes uneven in certain areas. Among all of that, there were patches of the city that looked like it hadn??t been touched whatsoever, which was a strange contrast to the fallen areas just sometimes inches away from the said site. It wasn??t far, but it took a few moments to walk to the Italian restaurant. This type of food was considered an inexpensive type of dinner. But it was something that wasn??t common any longer, since the Italians were spread out, and Italy was nothing more than the next Venice among many. After a few short moments, they rounded the corner and with a walk across smooth concrete that showed no signs of wear or tear. ??I??ve been to here once or twice before it??s rather a treat if you enjoy this type of meal.? Nathan spoke conversationally, nodding to the waiter there to hint that there were just two of them. The place had, at max, ten small groups of people dining at the moment, and in these days, that was considered bustling with customers in the restaurant business.

'Eh, no. My birth certificate says I was born in London, but I have no idea who my parents were. I suppose they could have been...' He had never bothered trying to find out. A woman who had just left him in the hospital, a man whose name wasn't listed at all. Why care? They hadn't really given him anything. 'Everyone I meet asks that. It's getting irritating.' He didn't really seem irritated though. He could enjoy this, he supposed. Nathan may not have thought of himself as good looking, but Ren rather liked blondes. He had used his real name, he wasn't trying to earn anything more than a meal. He could pretend to be a normal person, whatever that meant. It was rare that he could just enjoy someone's company. 'Whoa, nice.' A real restaurant! He never mostly went to those with clients who wanted to pretend they wanted more than just a fuck. It was good that Nathan was going to be paying for the meal. As Ren's monetary situation went, he probably wouldn't be able to afford a starter. He wasn't always quite so broke, of course, but when it happened it really wasn't pretty. It was just simply he could never really afford to save anything up. There was rent to pay, gangs to pay off, food, condoms, occasional STD tests, clothes to replace. He followed the waiter to their table, taking off his coat and draping it across the back off the chair before he sat down. A nice table towards the back of the restaurant, with a nice landscape painting above it. It was better than sitting next to the window and looking out onto the grim street. 'I think I am going to enjoy this,' Ren said with a rather disarming and genuine smile.

Once they were inside of the restaurant, they were shown to their table and were seated without delay. He would have held out the chair for his date, but thought better about it. Ren wasn??t some female that needed heavy courting. In fact, he wasn??t sure this was courting, since he had asked this person for a lunch date nothing more. He wasn??t all that into males, but he had never thought about it beyond the fact that he supposed anyone with a personality that matched his would work well as a significant other. Pulling his chair inwards so that he wasn??t uncomfortable at the table, Nathan returned the brunette??s smile with one genuine as well. ??I??m glad you approve. The last time I was here, they had suggested many pasta dishes and the like? I suppose I??d have to try one with chicken this time.? picking up the menu to browse through, he absentmindedly thanked the waiter for the waters that he had brought to them. ??Feel free to choose whatever you desire, Ren. Just got my check today, so why not splurge on a handsome bloke as you?? Nathan teased. His grin wasn??t visible, but over the edge of the menu he held up, Ren might be able to see the mirth in his eyes. When the waiter came back, he held a small notepad and pen in each hand, politely asking for their orders in a strong accent that wasn??t English, nor was it Italian. Perhaps Russian, but who knew how many Russians had survived the earthquake there. ??... and may I suggest our house wine, Fleur de Lis? It goes quite well with all pastas and poultry.? the waiter offered after they ordered.

Handsome? Oh dear. Were they at that point already? Then again, he was going to lunch in a restaurant with someone he met in a supermarket there were few avenues that this could lead to. Not that he really minded. He never really got to play at romance, so he smiled back. 'Maybe you should have got me some flowers too,' he said jokingly. 'Admittedly, today I am flat broke.' Because I had to pay off my pimp last week. Of course he could not possibly say that part out loud. These days, good reasons to have no money were manifold laid off, can't find a job, government handouts too small, wage cut. Nathan could pick any of those as a reason. 'So I have no trouble at all with someone like you buying me lunch.' There was a compliment in there somewhere. If he was actually going to read the menu, they might have been there for at least an hour, so instead Ren simply asked the waiter what he recommended for today and went with that. Squid ink risotto. It sounded interesting at least. And he did like squid, the few times he had it. 'I'm fine with water, thanks,' Ren replied. It was simply habit now to neither drink nor take drugs it was a secret of long term survival in the oldest profession better not to have an addiction that people could take advantage off, and never take anything which affected either motor function or judgement. Whenever his johns had offered him anything, Ren had always been out of the door. As soon as the waiter disappeared, Ren leant his elbows on the table, then his chin on his interlaced fingers, with a not-quite-smile around his lips. Nathan could court him as much as he liked. He rather felt like playing along.

There was a compliment in there somewhere? Nathan just couldn??t outright find it. However, he didn??t take offense to the wording, and he found that it was true that money was an issue among London these long years. Being part of the British Empire had only sustained them so long, and now, even the once proud empire was falling into the wreck that was the world??s fall. The blonde didn??t speak about it for a moment though, as he waited for the waiter to get their orders. ??I??d like a small amount of it not too much though, as I must return to work later, old chap.? he half joked to the waiter, before receiving a bow. Soon, they were left alone again, which made his focus rivet back to the brunette before him. ??So, broke you say? How would you pay rent then? Surely living in these areas can be expensive if one doesn??t have a flat-mate.? he absentmindedly noted, taking a sip of his water. In the back of his mind, he wondered if he should delay tea-time later on, as he knew that after Italian food, he would have no desire for tea. It was a strange habit, but having such foods never failed to stray him from his English upbringing. Not that there was a reason for the excuse. Plenty of people couldn??t even afford tea any longer, as the export and import of it has been cut down drastically since China??s downfall. The Asian country had suffered a drought that destroyed the land for years to come, leaving it no better than wastelands that were livable upon, but any growth of food was useless. Seeing how the other male leaned closer onto the table with a pleasant smile, he returned it, but with less bold moves such as coming closer. Instead, he leaned back against the back of his chair and allowed his smile to mellow out with his posture. For a moment, he felt at a lost at what to do with Ren, as he had no idea why he even wanted to spend this extra amount of money on a pretty looking guy, rather than some hot bird. Making light conversations, he didn??t stay on one topic too long, incase it seemed like he was prying which if he did, he didn??t mean to. The waiter soon came back with their meals and the small glass of wine he had asked for.

'Oh, rent I managed to pay. It's just everything else... It's possible to live alone, y'know. My place is pretty damn small. Then again, you probably wouldn't even want to set foot in the area I live in.' A tiny studio flat, with everything in one room and a bathroom attached. It wasn't like he did much there. Just slept, ate, and sometimes spent an evening in front of the entertainment channels. He preferred to be out. Even a filthy city with a few rare trees and a concrete grey sky was preferable to four walls. It really was hard to not steer the conversation into a minefield. He wanted to ask what Nathan's job was, but knew that question would probably be turned on him after he got an answer, and he really didn't feel like lying. He preferred to just avoid those sorts of questions instead. In contrast to Nathan, Ren had no real daily routine. His tea brews were more local nettle and peppermint, camomile, so on. Occasionally he bought coffee. He liked the smell and the taste, but the price had sky-rocketed with the civil war in South America and the droughts in Africa. He would get up in the afternoons, lounge aimlessly, and then end up in a bar or on a street corner in the evening. It wasn't a particularly healthy way to do things, but he only ate when he was hungry. The waiter had pretty good timing with bringing the food, actually. By then he was pretty damn hungry. Not quite close enough to want to eat his shoes, but getting there. At least he knew how to use cutlery properly, even if he did eat rather quickly, with obvious enjoyment. It was good quality and surprisingly tasty. It was as if he had not eaten something so good in years. Of course he managed to finish before Nathan, and then watched him leaning back in the chair. 'D'you often pick up guys?' he asked idly.

The blonde half hummed at certain times as he sipped at his drink, listening to Ren and half wondering what the other male did for a living. Living alone was possible, but it was entirely painful and draining. Well, that??s the view that he had of living alone for others. For himself, it wasn??t so much that he couldn??t afford it and still have these nice little days, but it was more on the side that he was just at the edge of the middle-class. Over the years, the monetary classes had been driven so far apart that it was ridiculous. There was the small rich class that were mainly employers, then the middle-class that took up another small portion and then nearly 90 of the world was considered the lower-class now. They had barely enough to eat at times, they had crappy jobs, and sometimes, it wasn??t even enough if two lived together, but needed three or four. ??You should look for a roommate, it might??.? he started, tone soft. But his words were cut off, as the other male asked if he often picked up guys. That caused Nathan to pause and blink at his date, as if he hadn??t realized that he had done something as ??pick up a guy??. ??Well? I??ve rarely picked up anyone, I suppose. You??re the first since I??ve started working at my new company, now that I think about it.? he tilted his head and took a small bite from his pasta, chewing it slowly. It was creamy alfredo, with chicken strips grilled on top. The thick cream had a slightly golden tint to it, hinting that the cheese had been darkened to bring out the flavor. Such a wonderful aroma that made his taste buds hum, while the bittersweet flavor of the swiss cheese drifted even into his breath. ??Oh, I work at G.W.C. Completely missed my mind. Where do you do, if you don??t mind me asking?? Nathan felt silly, since asking about work was usually the first thing that many people did these days. It wasn??t even casual conversation, it was curiosity about opportunities.

Ren really did prefer being a little poorer than he could be for the luxury of living alone. He needed to be able to get away from people. He needed his own space to unwind, to relax, to realise he didn't actually hate the human race as much as he thought. So Nathan's advice he didn't hear at all. If he did actually listen to it, no doubt he would be really annoyed someone richer than him was telling him how to order his life without knowing anything about it? Goddamit, the government did that all the time. 'I should feel special then,' Ren replied lightly, almost with a smile. Nathan really did not look like the type to pick up whores, or to pay for sex at all. He wondered what would happen if he knew what Ren did for a living. The thoughts almost made him smirk, and then Nathan actually asked. Of course he wasn't actually going to say, especially not in a place like this! 'I see what I can get.' It was true enough. He hoped that Nathan wouldn't ask for more details, and most people would consider it to be rude to. If someone avoided that question, it was better to not keep asking. Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies. 'I generally work at night though, this is encroaching on my sleep, hah.' By his expression he considered it worthwhile. He was no longer hungry, the company was pretty good, and he was feeling relatively content. The last one was rare enough. 'So what do you do for GWC?' he asked before Nathan could ask anything else about his work. Even someone like Ren knew some details about that particular company. It came up often enough in the news, and admittedly he did have the cocks of few of its employees up his arse. He knew that if anything else, jobs there were relatively secure. Not that he was looking, of course. He was distictly lacking in a rsum.
