Can I compete? [Nathan and Markus]

I sat outside the line of the large building. Only the richest of the rich were allowd in a big club like this one and I belive it to. The ladies flashed their smiles at me as I past, flexing my small muscle. Some on the other hand look at me with discust, laughing loudly as I stand to the tall security guard. It's like he looking into my soul! "Name and number please," I simply give him a nod, telling him. "Nathanial Young" I lean in to whisper the number into his ear. He nods, pulling back the rope and allowing me into the large building.

A flash of light blinds me as I walk in, smiling like a dumbass of course. First thing I do is hit up the bar. Where there's beer there's someone to draw in. I spin around the dance floor like an idiot, hoping into a tall chair and spinning around. The bartender looks at me and laughs "Oh Nathan. Want the usual?" I nod, blowing her kiss and leaning over to plant it on her cheek. She quickly makes the shot, pouring in mostly monster. I smile, chugging it. "Hit me with another please?" She nods, doing the same motions with her hands. I look down, her zip is undone. I laugh, waiting for the next shot to run my way. I chug it down, spinning around to have a big muscular guy standing in front of me. "W-Whats wrong?" My eyes grow big and bite my lip, my teeth running against it, back into my mouth.

What. A. Day. Mrs. Peabody, the sweet seventy-three year old lady who lives down the block from my shop, came in four times today. Each time it was with her broken antique cookoo clock, and each time I reminded her that I do not fix antiques. My word that woman is losing it. Long story short, after hours and hours of fixing necklaces and bracelets for stuffy rich woman and stupid clumsy men, all I wanted to do was go for a drink and relax.

I walked to the front of the long line that had formed outside my favorite club. In my hand I had a gold ring and a sheet of paper stating my name and number. The gold ring was to ensure I'd get in, seeing as I'd had some problems in this club the past few days. I slapped the rin and the paper in the bouncer's hand and he let me in. I sat down for a good thirty minutes, downing drinks and laughing with the lady behind the counter. At the nineth mug of whiskey and vodka, I had to piss. The stool spun and creaked as I got up. I stumbled a bit, I was plastered. The bathroom was close by so it did not take long. I took my piss, washed my hands and went back out into the bar.

Well wouldn't you know, a little dip shit was in my seat. I walked behind him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Eh boy...*Hiccup* Wut da herll are you doing een my seat *Hiccup*. Wat is it yoos gotta sae fur yurself eh?!"

"I-I just sat down to drink..." I am steady and unstable. I have to be simple about my words or I could get hurt. Drunks were always idiots. They either tried to get away or trying to sleep with someone. The second one I was totally fine with, the first, not so much. Nothing couldn't be solved without a little beer and some romantic music. With wide eyes I continue to stare up at the drunk man, biting my lip still. I couldn't help but think of Deleny. She wouldn't want me to get hurt so if I have to, give him the seat. But wait, what the fuck was I thinking? It was my seat. No one was going to take that away from me. "It's my seat,"

I started to lift my fist. What was this little shit thinking? His seat? This boy is an idiot. I let my fist lower to my hip and gave the boy a big, confident smile. "Yur right *Hiccup*...Heer, lemma bie yoo a dreenk." With my hand steadying me on the stool, I sat right next. "Ey, barkeep, two shots ov whiskey. Wun foor me, and wun foor mah new friend *hiccup*." The nice girl slid the drinks over to us and I immediately drank mine. The boy seemed a bit reluctant to drink his. Just as he was about to grab for it, I grabbed him by the collar of his tacky shirt and slammed his face onto the shot glass, shattering the glass and his face. I stood and lifted the boy by his shoulders and tossed him onto the pool table. Happy and wasted, I took my seat back.

I kept my eyes on his fist the whole time, clenching and unclenching. The crazy slur and drunken accent throws me off as he offers to but me a drink. The beautiful bartender lays them out and at first, I don't try to drink it. Then it starts tempting me so I reach my hand out to grip it, the glass slamming into my hand. "ow!!" I scream, slowly being lifted by my collar. It's hard to breath as he pulls me up. I shake my head a bit, being through half across the room into the pool table, hitting my head against the side of it. I put my hand over my head, the other on my nose where blood seeps from it. I rub at the wound, pushing myself off the side of the table, standing. I walk back over to the man, tapping on his shoulder, and try to punch him right in the nose.

I dug my hand into the bowl of mixed nuts and slowly popped them one by one in my mouth and chewed. As I was starting to sober up a bit, I was fully aware of that kid crawling off that pool table and walking up behind me...I just chose not to do anything about it and see what he's got. My arms stretched out, I puffed my chest, and yawned. All this face smashing was tiring. Mixed peanuts rolled across my palm as I was about to pop them in my mouth when someone tapped my shoulder. "Herro?" I turned and the kid swung for my nose. Lucky me, he was a horrible aim. His fist landed on my cheeck and sent a small shiver through my jaw. He was a strong guy, but he sure wasn't The Incredible Hulk. "You made me drop my peanuts, asshole." I slowly stood up while rubbing my cheek. There we stood, chest to chest. Well, face to chest seeing as I towered over him. "Take another shot, boy. Go ahead." I teased and gave him a little shove.

I barely hit his cheek. Im a dumbass!! I mean who doesn't hit the nose mark. Only wimps. Guess I was a wimp then. He tells me that I interrupted his consuming of the horrible peanuts. I laugh and smile "Not that big of a loss. They are old nasty peanuts," He stands now, trying to stare me and honestly it's working. He laughs at me, telling to take another shot.With minimum force he pushes me back and I tumble to the floor, blood seeping from my nose and glass still in my forhead somewhere."I would but i'm trying to be a gentleman you see..." I slowly back away to the door, holding my breath the whole time. I just need to get to Deleny's. It's not to far from here and maybe she can help me. This glass isn't going to come out itself...

He was trying to crawl away, how cute. "Ey, why don't I come with you to wherever it is you're going." Still furious that he had disrespected me, I stomped over to the boy quivering on the ground. "C'mon. Let's go buddy." I grabbed him by the shirt color again and flung him over my shoulder like a piece of carry-on luggage. "Hey pal, I never caught your name?" As he started to reply I took my fist and slammed it into his back, muffling what he was saying. It sounded a bit like Naples. Nalat? Nathan? Yeah probably that. Just to let July behind the counter know I'd be back soon, I shouted out "See ya later guys! Just gonna go deal with a few problems and you know, take this boy wherever he needs to go." I used Nathans feet to kick the door open and we walked out into the cold of the night. He rolled off my shoulder and onto the hard pavement. I looked down upon him and said "Where we headed?"

I couldn't but shake my head at him quickly as he threw me over his shoulder. He asks me my name and I am barely able to choke it out of my lips "N-Nathan," I don't struggle cause I know it's not worth it. He is too strong for me to even hit without him laughing. He carries me around like it's nothing slamming me against the concrete ground in the cold night. He demands to know where I am going. I can't tell him i'm going to Deleny's. He'd surely hurt her too. "Home..." I whispers, looking up to him, holding up only by my now scraped elbows. I need her right now and hopefully she'd help...

"Home?" I slowly crouched down next to him. "What do ya got at home? Kids?" Nathan didn't look at me. I guess he had no kids but I could see in his eyes that he wanted to be. "Girlyfriend? Possibly a wife? A kid as handsome as you has got to have a girlfriend at least." I said teasingly. Nathan bit his lip. "Oh you do! I bet she's gorgeous. See, I don't have enough time for women these days. I'm way too busy in my jewelry shop to even have meaningless sex. Can you believe that? Back when I was about eighteen, I could just flash this ring here and a nice big smile and I'd have every girl in a ten mile radius." I showed Nathan my big gold ring with the large sharp lapis lazuli gem stone. "Worth a fortune, plus it leaves quite a mark if you hit someone in the forehead with it. Yet another reason why you shouldn't disrespect me again, ya hear?" Nathan still seemed a bit resilient. So I did what anyone would do with a kid in front of them who was being disrespectful. I slapped him upside the head with the back of my hand and told him to go f*** off.

[Deleted]

I keep biting my lip, looking down at the concrete. "I-I have a fook buddy who I want to have kids with..." I whisper, keeping a tight hold on my lip. He treats me like a little kid, telling me that I shouldn't mess with him that he would hit me with his ring and leave a good mark. I don't nod, I just shake my head very lightly. I shake and I feel a sudden pain run up the side of my forehead. I look back up to him, whimpering like a dog. "I-I'm sorry. C-can I got home now?..."

[Deleted]

Markus McClure

"Can you?" I scrunched my eyebrows and looked as mad as I could. "Can you go home?!" I got very close to his face, as if I was about to headbutt Nathan. In his eyes I could see he was truly terrified. "YOU'RE ASKING ME IF YOU CAN GO HOME?!" My voice rose higher each time I spoke. "Sure why not I'm not stopping you." I smiled and started to clean my finger nails. As he was getting up to leave, I grabbed his arm. "On ONE condition. I wanna meet that girlfriend of yours." To edge him on more, I winked and licked my lips.

[Deleted]

"I-no." He looks down, closing his eyes. "She's mine.. I can't have her taken from me." I bite on my lip harder, closing my eyes. I can feel the warm blood trickling from my nose sill. "I just can't let you take her away." I whisper, looking up to him with innocent eyes. I can feel another slap coming on, trying to stand before he slaps me down. I stare at him, my eyes watering. I'm still frightened, sure he is going to do something to hurt me. "She's Deleny... Perfect and mine. All mine.."

[Deleted]

Markus McClure

Well, this guy sincerely thought I was some sort of monster. I looked to the sky and gave a halfhearted, deep laugh. "C'mon Nathan, my buddy, my pal, my main man...I'm not that much of a douche bag. I have no intentions on interfering in your little thing you got going on. I just want to see what a little guy like you gets to tap every night. Maybe I'll even give her some nice jewelry as some sort of apology." Suddenly the array of gold rings and bracelets in my coat pocket got heavier. "I promise you buddy, I won't take your lover girl." I itched my nose and looked into the sky. "So where's your house?" I cracked my knuckles loudly to let Nathan know I didn't want any back-talk.

[Deleted]

"No... I hate you," I whisper softly, ready to be hit again. "Deleny is mine. I hate to be jealous but-but," I look down, squeezing my eyes shut and gulping down the tears. "Y-You hit me and hurt me then expect to Be my friend. No... It's not going to work that way," I scoot away from him, leaning against the wall. "I-I just want to go home and be with Deleny" I whisper, closing my eyes, ready for the pain that awaited me. "I love Deleny and you can't change that" I pull my knees to my face and push it into my knees.

I sighed deeply as I looked into the dark sky and let my arms rest on my thighs. Crouching by Nathan on the ground was starting to make my back sore. Slowly, I stood up and cracked my back and neck. This guy was being way too difficult. "Well, bud, to be fair, you were being a bit thick. You disrespected me and interrupted my relaxation. And here I am, trying to make up for it by offering to help you home and to give your fuck buddy some nice jewelry." With the light of the street lamp shining on Nathans face, I saw how much I'd really hurt him. Small glass shards where in his forehead. His nose was gushing blood and his eyes were pretty red. "Here, clean yourself up a bit." I took a rag out of pocket and tossed it to him. I spun on my heel to go back into the bar when I remembered something. "Before I forget," I said, slowly turning back to face Nathan. "Give this to Del-whatever-her-name-is. It's an 'apology' for kicking her boyfriend's ass. Oh, and tell her to hit me up when she wants a strong man." I tossed him a golden ring with a small diamond. For good measure, I winked at him and walked back into the bar.

[Deleted]

I look at the rag, grabbing it and stuffing it into my pocket. I look at him, following him into the bar quickly. The ring stays tucked in his pocket. "I-I need her... In ways you won't understand. So if you don't understand why I care for her and take the pain. I can't have her dead. She is the one I want to carry our child," I walk out, hands in my pockets. I hold my shoulders high and hide under the darkness of the night. I walk into the house, slipping to find Deleny there. "H-Hi.."

[Deleted]

Deleny smiled when she heard Nathan walk in. They weren't technically living together... Yet, but she spent most of her free time at his house. Right then she had just finished making a dinner of Coq au Vin, the recipe coming from way back when, passed down from parent to child and such. A bottle of red wine sat in a bucket of ice. She had dressed in a simple black dress that kept everything covered, for once, but showed enough skin just to keep things interesting. Her pink hair was curled in soft waves framing her face. She wore a simple teardrop amethyst on a silver chain around her neck, but other wise no jewelry.

Deleny scowled when she saw the cuts and blood on Nathan's face. She rushed toward him, careful not to slide across the polished floors under her bare feet, and took his hands in hers. "Nathan what the hell happened?"

The worry in her eyes frighten me. She takes her small hands into mine and I pull her against me, my hands rubbing against her bright pink hair. I whisper to her in a soft tone, almost seductively. "It's okay. I'm fine now." I lift her chin up to my face and lean down to peck her on the lips and continue to hold her close. I listen for footsteps just in case, well, Markus comes back. I smile and laugh slightly. "Or at least I will be when I get this glass out of my forehead," I use my finger to point at the area under my thick curls. "C-Care to help me get them out?" I give a weak smile, pulling her hand up to my lips and kissing it delicatly.

It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes... Nathan tried to reason with me but I just brushed him aside. There was a bottle of whiskey, a shot glass, and a gorgeous woman waiting for me at the bar. Was I just gonna keep her waiting? For a few minutes I downed shots with her. We exchanged pleasentries and I got her phone number. As I laughed with the girl, I turned my head to the pool table and saw all the blood. Even though I've drinken more whiskey than humanly possible in a few minutes, what I'd done was still nagging at the back of my mind. "Ey sweetey you 'member that kid whom I got inta a bit of a spat wif? Where 'zactly does he live?" My speach was starting to slur from the alchohol. "Oh a little ways down the street. Should only be a few minutes walk." She gave me a cute smile. "Tank ya doll face." I picked up the bottle and drank the whole thing as well as grabbing a beer to go. Before I stumbled out the door, I slammed a fifty on the counter. "Dat shood cover the damages 'n' the beer *hiccup*" It wasn't easy but I made my way to the kids house. Along the way I'd stumbled into folks on the streat, shouted at a old lady crossing the road, and smashed my empty bottle of beer on the wall of a library. At this point, I was completely wasted yet again. It probably wasn't the best condition to be in. When I saw Nathan's house, or what I thought it was through my blurred vision, I stumbled through the door, slamming them into the walls. "Ey this place smells great!" My eyes glanced over to the pink haired beauty holding Nathans hand. "Holy shit! Nathan you weren't kidding! She fine a' hell! *Burp*" This debt we pay to human guile... But oh, the clay is vile...

[Deleted]

Deleny sat Nathan down at the table, leaving the food heated on the stove. She reached under the kitchen sink and pulled out the first aid kit and made her way over to Nathan after washing her hands. She cleaned his wounds gently then took a pair of tweezers and started pulling the glass out of his forehead and face. "Oh babe, your lucky that you didn't get any in your eyes, otherwise you could have gone blind. What happened?"

Deleny gently kissed the white bandages on his forehead before leaning down towards him from where he was sitting and pressing her lips gently onto his. Then she cleaned the dried blood off the rest of is face then handed him a glass of red wine. Suddenly a man stormed in rip roaring drunk. She put a hand on her hip and turned toward Nathan raising an eye brow. "Care to explain?"

I cringe slightly as she pulls each individual glass out of my forehead. I whispers softly "Yeah. Lucky." I fiddle with my fingers, pushing them alll the way back to my wrist. I roll my head around my neck, making out a loud popping noise. A loud burst comes through the door and a half drunk Markus walks into my home. He seems to be happy go lucky. I look up at him, whispering to Deleny. "That... is part of my story," I itch at the back of my head, running my fingerd through my mess of curls. "H-He hurt me...but it's okay I guess,,,"

It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes... At this point, I may have been a bit more drunk that I probably should have been. It would be a bit difficult apologizing to Nathan's girlfriend for beating the shit out of him when I'm trying to sleep with her. Slowly, I stumbled to the area where Nathan and Deleney were sitting, taking some curtains and a vase with me. I took the seat next to Nathan, kicked my feet up on the table, and held my hand out to the pink haired beauty. "Herro, I'm Markush...And yoo musht be the gorgeous Deleny eh? *Hiccup* Deed Nathan here tell ya why I kicked his teef in? He was bein a dumbass and stole my seet at the bar *Burp*." It was getting harder to talk with the bright light of their kitchen in my eyes, so I picked up the first aid kit they had and smashed the lightbulb in their lamp with it. "Nowz, after I asked kindley for me seat back, da boy went and deesrespected me...Can yous believe that!" This debt we pay to human guile... But oh, the clay is vile...

[Deleted]

Deleny felt her face heat up as she scowled and walked over to the drunk fuck head. She gripped the front of his shirt tightly. "You move your feet, you lose your seat." it was a rule most people knew well. Using the floor as leverage, she leaned back and hauled the drunkered out of the chair, twisted and let go, dropping to guy. She smirked as a thud filled her ears and stepped over the guy to get to Nathan. Sitting on the arm of his chair with her legs crossed, and slipped her hand in Nathan's. "Are you done here? I have a dinner to finish up, and no you can't stay." She was suddenly glad that the Coq au Vin was simmering with a lid on top. She reached behind Nathan and turned one of the empty glasses right side up and pouring herself a glass of red wine. She raised an eyebrow as she brought the glass to her lips and drank. When she was done she swirled the wine around in her glass. "Oh are you still here?"

I've never seen her so pissed. He really didn't do much wrong other then punching my nose in. I look up at her, taking a long drink of the red wine, staining my lips which are already covered in blood. She simply takes his arm, twists, and lies on the floor alone. On the other hand I sit there like a fool chugging down the wine, almost trying to get drunk over a stupid problem such as this one. I look up at her and she simply sits on my chair, being a bitchy Deleny. "I-I think he is..." I practicly whisper it, unable to calm myself. "I-I'm sorry about everything.." It's all that comes to mind as I sit there, watching as the events unmask themselves before me. "Guess we should throw him out?"
