Jack moved to America but couldn't afford housing even after earning getting his citizenship. He sets up in California as it's warmer and more spread out. He stays seated, his stomach growls. He hasn't ate in a few days, he pouts at that. He sighs and looks at his earnings today. He made a dollar today and some change.
"Well..I can get a free water from McDonald's and a mcchicken." says Jack
He leaves his guitar and goes to the McDonald's across the street he gets kicked out because of his smell and how rugged he looks. He wipes the tears away from his face and sees someone taking his guitar.
"Hey! That's mine!" says Jack
He chases after the guy and tries to get it back but he isn't fast enough. His hunger blurs his vision, he drops but a stranger catches him.
"Hey are you okay?" asks the stranger
"Mmm. I don't know really. I will just have to find a different way to get money for a place." says Jack, "I need to hurry back...I might be able to take a shower in the beach room. I have a job opportunity so have to look good right?" says Jack
He's not saying it because he wants this stranger to feel bad. He is saying it because it's the truth. He gets his arm free and starts walking but he collapses. The man scoops him up on his back and takes him home with him. He finds a room and some fresh clothes for him. The man tucks Jack in and starts cooking lunch. He figured he's hungry because he saw him get kicked out of McDonald's but he didn't know what he was running after. Until he saw the guitar, he managed to snag it back and saw that it says "Jack" on the back of it.
"Jack Huh. Fitting." says Mark
Jack wakes up to the smell of good food cooking, his stomach growls. Jack hugs his stomach and heads down the stairs.
"Hey sleepy head. Lunch will be ready soon." says Mark
"Uh thank you." says Jack
Mark serves them both food.
"You can't go to your job interview like that." says Mark
"Huh?" asks Jack
"Nothing mean meant I swear. I just mean that you can't go get a job hungry to the point of collapsing." says Mark
"..I know." says Jack
"I'll tell you what, my name is Mark. I live here alone anyways. So how about you crash in the spare and you can go to job interviews/work. You can live here and eat here." says Mark
"I'm jack. Are you sure?" asks Jack
"Positive!" says Mark
"If you don't mind me asking what are you?" asks Jack
"Oh I'm an engineer! Degree is right there." says Mark
He points at it, it's hiding a bit but there it is. Jack could tell that he didn't like bragging about his achievements like Jack doesn't.
"That's awesome dude. Oh thanks for lunch. Do you mind if I take a shower?" asks Jack
"Yeah bathrooms upstairs you can borrow some of my clothes." says Mark
"Thank you." says Jack
Jack heads up and grabs the clothes that were laying on his bed. He could smell Mark on them, he blushed wondering how he knew what Mark smelled like. He then remembered before crashing that he saw Mark carrying him. Jack carried the clothes into the bathroom and stripped out of his clothes and hit the shower. Mark sneaked in to put Jacks clothes in the washer. He turns red as he looked up, he could see Jack's wonderful sleek form in the shadow of the shower curtain. He stared for a few minutes before disappearing. Jack looked out hearing the door slam and noticed that his clothes were gone. He smiled realizing that Mark did it. He shook his head not feeling as he was worth it. He sighed and went back to his shower. He head down after his shower seeing Mark watching tv. Mark looked up and saw that Jack looked good in his clothes.
"Fits great." says Jack
"Looks great too." says Mark
Jack blushed at that.
"Thank you." says Jack
"Not a problem. Oh hey that green toothbrush is yours. " says Mark
"Oh thanks." says Jack
"Not a problem." says Mark
Jack sits down and relaxes next to Mark, there hearts thump. This new thing can be something interesting.
