Hey guys! AND! Since its summer i've gots loads of free time so I'll be updating more now haha. So, i felt like i needed to put Mo in the story. You cant have a Glitch without a Mo, and i had a really... REALLY hard time trying to fit him into the story o_o So i apologize in advance if the whole thing seems awkward... cause it was awkward for me to write it...
Yea... about not updating in months. Sorry bouts that, but I have my reasons!
My first reason is that i lost motivation and... well ideas. I wrote this as an output of my rather dramatic life experiences. When i got over my predicament... i kinda lost my motivation to write as well -3-
"Oi! Mini-me! What took ya so long?" Mo yelled out as the highly irritated Korean boy stepped into the studio. The room reeked with sweat and bad deodorant. There were three other men in the room, who were lying on the floor oh so comfortably, with sweat staining their shirts.
"… I overslept," Glitch mumbled. It has been about a day or two since that horrible conversation with Emilia. He was not looking forward to dance practice today. To hell with it, he'd much rather stay home and stuff himself silly with Cheetos.
"Wha's that? Can't hear you bro!"
"I SAID I OVERSLEPT!" Glitch cried out, his voice ripping apart the once joyous atmosphere of the room. Silence followed, along with a few shocked and bewildered stares from Mo and the other dancers. The sudden shriek made from Glitch didn't seem to affect Mo that much, as he just continued smiling as he has always done.
"Hey just chill brotha," Mo said, breaking the silence. Glitch suddenly felt sorry for making things awkward for Mo. He just ruined two friendships a day or two before and he didn't exactly want to ruin this one. Glitch let out a deep sigh.
"Y-yea, sorry Mo." It was all Glitch could say. Jeez, he should've just stayed home today.
"Eh, no problem Mini-me," Mo chuckled. His brown eyes then shot a glance at the other dancers who were 'dead' on the floor. "Hey lazy asses! Time ta get yo'selves up." While all the dancers groaned at the order their leader gave them, Mo's eyes once again averted to the Korean boy.
"Glitch, you come o'er here an' learn the routine, aight?"
Glitch let out another sigh. As much as he loved dancing, he just wasn't feeling it today.
After a full hour of strenuous footwork, and overly intricate hand movements, it was safe to say that Glitch just about had it. But, just when Glitch was about to go on a full rant and complain on how he couldn't do anymore dancing today, Mo clapped his hands and forced everyone's attention onto him.
"Aight gang, good work today. Y'all are dismissed." Almost immediately, everyone stood up and made their way to the door, Glitch included. "Nah-uh, not you Green streaks. You'd be stayin' here with me for a bit." Glitch let out an irritated grunt, loud enough so Mo could hear his displeasure.
"Hey now," Mo chuckled, as he walked up to the teenager. "C'mon, we'll go to your favorite café aight?"
"Mo, I just really want to go home right now." Glitch complained. Any other day would be fine, but Glitch was not in the mood to do anything.
"Why is that? Got plans to play Starcraft with an online friend or somethin'?" Mo half joked.
"No," the Korean boy scoffed.
"Then why'd'ya hafta go home? You're always free and you're always wantin' ta hang."
"I just want to go home okay?" Glitch stated, becoming quite annoyed at Mo's persistence. Glitch turned around and once again made his way to the door only to be blocked by Mo, who somehow teleported in front of the door.
"If you don't tell me what's up, I'ma tell Emi bouts your not-so-secret crush on 'er." When Mo saw Glitch's eyes trail across the floor, the African male inwardly snickered. Glitch was such an easy book to read.
When no answer left Glitch's mouth, Mo continued.
"So you finally told 'er, eh? Is that why you're being such a dick today?"
Glitch sighed deeply. There was no way Mo was going to let him go home now, unless he spilled the beans.
"Mo," Glitch started, "you wanna get some pizza?" Mo grinned, showing his pearly white teeth.
"Aight lil man, but don't you think you're escapin' this 'ere conversation." Mo then moved aside, finally allowing Glitch to leave the room. "Ladies first," Mo joked deviously.
The two unlikely friends stumbled their way into the nearest Pizza Hut, which was a few blocks away from the dance studio. On their way there, their mischievous side took over and they ended up throwing a stick, which looked remarkably like doggy-doodie, at an unsuspecting couple and ran away laughing hysterically at their reaction. For the first time in two days Glitch was laughing and all his troubles were momentarily forgotten.
They fumbled their way to an outdoor table after ordering a pepperoni pizza, pushing and shoving each other jokingly on the way.
"Aight, Mini-me," Mo started, "you had better tell me what went down between you and Emi."
"Sure Mo," Glitch smirked, "what went down…"
"Kid. You nasty."
"You asked!" Glitch remarked, laughing slightly.
"Yea, yea, yea," Mo said, resting his head on one of his hands. "So, what really went down?"
Glitch slouched on his chair, crossed his legs, turned his head away, and looked at another customer who was fiddling with his smartphone. Probably playing angry birds or something.
"Rich ass…" Glitch mumbled to himself.
"Say what?"
"N-nothing." Mo looked at his protégé questioningly. Glitch scratched his head, his small green eyes searching for something to stare at. "I made a dick move, Mo."
"A dick move?"
"Yup, pretty much." Glitch leaned back on his chair and rested both his hands at the back of his head, his eyes still staring at something off at the distance. Mo waited a while for him to continue, but it was clear that the Asian lad wasn't going to unless prompted.
"Well I ain't surprised," Mo said, slouching on his chair. Glitch's eyes finally averted to his older friend. He opened his mouth to make some smart, witty remark but was cut short when Mo continued speaking. "So, ya jus' gonna leave me hangin', or are ya gonna tell me whatchu did?" Glitch's eyes dropped and he let out another sigh. For a split second Mo almost felt sorry for asking. In the corner of Glitch's eyes he could still see the man, or who Glitch dubbed Rich ass, playing with his phone. Glitch almost felt jealous on how worry-less and happy Rich ass appeared.
"Well…" the kid started. Just then waiter arrived, pizza in hand, graciously cutting into the conversation.
"Here are your pepperoni pizza kids." The waiter smiled a very creepy and perverted smile.
"Thanks mate," Mo said politely and waited for the man to leave before prompting Glitch to continue. Before he could though, Glitch was already munching on a slice of pizza, happily. Mo inwardly smiled, the kid was such a… kid, smiling and shit while he was eating. For a moment, the kid looked as if he hadn't a care in the world, and Mo decided it was better to keep it that way, for now at least. There would be other times Mo could ask, just not today.
The two friends continued to eat, laugh, and joke around like what friends were supposed to do. Suddenly Glitch's ringtone broke the gleeful atmosphere. The Asian teen wiped his oily hands on his pants before taking out his phone.
"Yoboseyo?" Glitch said quietly. Mo knew it was his mom, Glitch only spoke Korean to his mother since it was the only language she knew. Oh how cute the Korean language sounded to his ears, especially coming from his young little protégé.
"Hey dude, I gotta go." Glitch said, while his free hand, that wasn't holding the phone, dug into his pockets and pulled out a few dollars. As he stood up the protégé's elbow knocked over his glass of water. "Shit," he muttered. In the corner of the Asian kid's eyes, he saw Rich ass's phone drop and hit the floor. The phone wasn't broken, unlike Glitch's glass of water, but…
"Uhm Glitch?" Mo asked.
"H-huh?"
"Dontchu need to… go?" Mo looked questioningly at his younger friend and saw the kid's eyes widen. "Don't worry about the glass, I can pay for that."
"Thanks man," Glitch said with a smile before starting to take off. "I owe ya one!"
And with that, Glitch had left the building. Mo rubbed his face before paying for the pizza and the mess Glitch made. The kid had an awful habit at staring at things. It scared him a little. The kid would just freeze and Mo didn't know whether if Glitch was having some sort of seizure or if Glitch was staring at some hot chick. Come to think of it, what was the kid staring at?
Mo shifted his gaze to where Glitch was staring. All he saw was a young man holding an iphone or something of the sort. Glitch was staring at a guy? Mo snickered; he would have to remember to tease him about this later. Just as Mo was about to leave he heard the other man groan.
"Shit! Ma is gonna kill me for this!"
Seemed like the phone was broken or some kind of shit like that. Mo shrugged, dipped his hands into his pockets, walked over the broken glass, and past the man with the broken phone to a party that the African American was invited to a few days before.
It was near the evening and shades of red were busily painting the sky and the sand on the beach. Bodie's shift ended about ten minutes ago but the lifeguard had no intentions of leaving anytime soon. After all, it wasn't as if anyone was waiting for him at home. Besides, the beach wasn't something an average boy living in Alberta could see often.
Bodie was lying on his back in the sand, one of his hands resting on his forehead, and the other resting on his abdomen. What a day. It wasn't everyday where you completely destroyed the friendships that you cared most about. He chuckled sadly at himself, before resting his eyes with the sound of the waves soothing his broken heart.
"Wh-what did you…?" Emilia stammered. Bodie's lips went dry and he felt a hard lump in his throat.
"I-I'm so sorry," Bodie helplessly replied. He reached forward to try to rest his hands on Emilia's shoulders only to have her back away in utter disgust.
"You… you're…" Emilia looked up and stared straight into Bodie's eyes, a stark contrast to Glitch, who could barely even look at the blonde. "Y-you like guys?"
"Emi…" Bodie starts again. He tries to comfort her by holding her but she slaps his hands away.
"You like Glitch!" Her voice rose, and cracked slightly. She was hurt and horrified; there was no doubt about that. She was breathing rather quickly and Bodie knew what was coming. It was no use. There was nothing Bodie could say now. Just like with Glitch, all he could do was to apologize for the mistake that was made too long ago to fix.
"I-,"
Bodie felt a large slap reach his cheek. He winced slightly in pain, but he knew things were going to be a lot more painful from here on out. He glanced hopelessly at Emilia, whose eyes screamed of anger, pain, and all kinds of hurt, before the brunette made a run for it. There was no point in following her.
"Oi."
Bodie opened his eyes and nearly jumped at the sight of Mo standing above him, wearing his trademark green and blue striped hoodie.
"Awe man…" Bodie sighed, sitting up. "What are you doing here?" The blonde asked rubbing his eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"I work here, you know that…"
"Yea, you work here. But I'm pretty sure your work don't be involvin' you sleepin' around in the dead of the night." Mo chuckled crossing his arms.
"Dead of the night…?" Shit, how long had he been sleeping?
"Its 9:30 mate." Mo stated, answering the question that would've been asked. "Sorry if I woke ya up from yer beauty rest, but I can't have you lying around at night waiting to be mugged or somethin'." Bodie scratched his head and stared at Mo, who was busy staring at his phone.
"By the way, you never told me what you were doing all the way out here." Bodie stated, as he stood up and wiped the sand off his legs and ass.
"Didntcha get the memo?" Mo inquired, showing a text message from his phone. Bodie squinted at the screen; a text from Aubrey and it was an invite to another one of her full on parties. On a yacht this time… wow. Bodie suddenly remembered getting something of the sort in his locker, but he completely forgot about it. Mo took Bodie's silence as acknowledgement that he didn't get the memo.
"Oh, sorry man, I figured that you got the invite since Ms. Fancy Hair thinks yer- uh… Ya know what? Never mind." Mo chuckled in a slightly awkward manner.
"No I got the invite. Just that I had…" Bodie said, biting the inside of his lip, "… other things to worry about."
"So I take it that you ain't going?"
Bodie thought about it a little. He had nothing else to do anyways. He was sure that Glitch wasn't going to be there, he had violin lessons tomorrow, and Emilia wasn't going to be there either, because putting Emilia and Aubrey in the same room was just asking for trouble. Bodie guessed he needed some time away from those two anyways…
"Nah, I'll go. So when does this start again?"
"Now." Mo replied bluntly. Mo stared curiously at the Bodie, and the blonde wondered if he had something stuck on his face. "You plannin' on goin' in shirtless?" Bodie blinked a few times and it suddenly struck him that all he was wearing was his beach trunks. Mo scratched his head before he pulled off his hoodie revealing a white tank top underneath. "Here, jus' take it."
"Thanks buddy." Bodie pulled on the hoodie, which was a size too small for him. The hoodie was a little tight but the blonde wasn't complaining.
Mo looked at the lifeguard and noticed how the hoodie over exaggerated, and outlined the dude's pecs and biceps. Damn, did the hoodie make himself look that good as well? Mo awkwardly cleared his throat and gestured the lifeguard to follow him.
They two walked in complete silence and Mo hated silence. He tried to break it a few times, wisecracking here and there, only to receive a simple laugh every time. Pretty soon, Mo gave up and they continued to walk in complete silence. Even the roads were empty.
Suddenly a thought struck Mo. Did Bodie even know that Glitch confessed up to Emilia yet? Mo looked at Bodie discreetly with the corner of his eye. He just realized how… sad the guy looked. His eyes were dropped, staring at the floor, and his mouth fixed in a frown. Mo sighed; maybe telling him that Glitch was crushing on his girlfriend wasn't a real great idea, even though Mo knew how obvious the crush was. Maybe he should just ask how things are with his girlfriend; try to get a conversation started.
"So, how are things with ya and Emi?" Before Mo knew it, Bodie stopped in his tracks, eyes still fixated on the ground. Ah shit, looks like he brushed up on a sensitive topic after all. Good going Mo.
"I uh-… we broke up." Bodie mumbled softly. Funny, he didn't sound heartbroken at all. Maybe sad, but sad and heartbroken were two different things. Mo kept this silently to himself and cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry that I asked."
"Oh, no it's fine. Don't worry about it…"
They continued to walk in silence yet again. Is that why Glitch confessed to Emilia today? Because he knew Bodie and Emi separated? Mo wondered if this was the "dick move" that Glitch mentioned today.
As they walked Bodie thought about how much he envied the African American. Glitch had known him for… well all his life. Their parents were business partners, and friends, and when Glitch was still lying around in his crib, Mo was right next to him on his tiptoes trying to get a look on the new kid while their parents drank downstairs. Glitch knew Mo all his life, and when Bodie and Emilia started their crew, Glitch stuck by Mo which was perfectly fine of course. Bodie just wished that he could have all that time that Mo spent with Glitch.
Bodie mentally slapped himself. What was he saying? Glitch is his bro, or was, too. There was no reason to feel jealous of Mo's friendship with the Korean, when he has his own. Or had.
"You mind me asking what happened?" Mo's voice interrupting the thoughts of the blonde. "I-I mean if ya wanna talk 'bout it… it's aight if you don't—"
"We just drifted apart… its fine, really." Bodie lied. Mo raised an eyebrow. Just a few days ago they were laughing hysterically at each other. Heck, they even kissed! Even though Mo didn't buy his comment, he kept his trap shut.
They were close to the party, they both knew from the raucous noise along with loud house music that cut the silence in the night air.
"Aight, now look," Mo said, suddenly, "I know there's more to your story than jus' 'drifting apart'." Mo paused to allow Bodie to speak if he had anything to say. When silenced followed, Mo continued. "Glitch wasn't exactly 'imself this mornin', an' I dunno if it's got anythin' to do with you and Emi, but…" Mo struck a smile, the kind of smile he gave Glitch whenever he was feeling down. "… You can trust ole Mo now, yea?" Bodie politely returned the smile, even if it wasn't genuine.
"Yea."
"Now," Mo gestured towards where the house music was, "let's have some fun ta'night, aight?"
Sooooo... JUST in case you didnt catch onto a few things let me clarify:
Yoboseyo kind of means hello in Korean but not exactly. You only use it when you are on the phone, so its more like a mixture between "hello" and "who is it".
You dont go around the streets saying yoboseyo thats for sure :)
About the guy and his broken phone. In my culture having two things broken at the same time is a bad omen. Suspicious... :O
Glitch playing the violin. I ACTUALLY HAVE A REASON FOR THIS! Many people speculate that Glitch is Korean, and in my school (that has a population of 45% korean, 45% vietnamese, and 10% other) every single korean plays the violin. Im not even kidding. Every korean i know... plays the violin. Its almost a stereotype in my school haha XD
Now... let me ask yall...
Who do you guys ship? Who do you think should end up together? :O Glitch/Bodie, Glitch/Emi or maybe y'all will go Glitch/mo or Bodie/Mo on me ahahaha.
Please comment and give me your suggestions haha. Im pretty much idealess at the moment.
