The Bench
______________________
Finn was not in a good mood.
"Where the hell are those guys?!"
He had been waiting at the same stinking bench for over an hour. For once he thought he should meet up early! Kind of typical that they'd turn up late. Not only that but by some odd twist of fate, Tohru just happened to be sitting right next to him on the same bench. Course, Tohru's side has slanted lower than his own; Finn had only just realised his feet were not able to touch the ground. He tugged at his collar.
"So... Tohru... What are you doing way out here?"
"Waiting for a bus."
Tohru was never one for sarcasm.
Okay, Finn was officially bored, now. Even talking to Tohru would be more entertaining than just sitting here.
"Hey is that J-Lo on the front cover of that magazine?" Finn wondered, pointing.
"Who?"
"Jennifer Lopez."
"Oh."
"Think she looks hot in those pants?" Finn got up and stepped over to the magazine stand to the left, paying for it before sitting back down on the high side of the bench. "She is hardly wearing anything," Tohru replied, sternly.
"That's because it's porn, Big T!" He announced, flipping through the pages. "Wait... no, it's just seventeen magazine. Damn, not even any sex chat lines at the back!" Tohru shook his head. Finn was probably never going to change.
"Hey, did you see her in that movie... Romeo Must die?" Tohru raised an eyebrow.
"No."
"Wait, that was Alliyah! Damnit, I always get those two mixed up!" Finn smacked himself over the head with the magazine. "J-Lo was in that other movie! Man, it was freaky. Chow was afraid to go to sleep for a week and even Shendude didn't wanna keep scissors in his back pocket!"
Even when Tohru worked for Valmont, he rarely talked to Finn- or anyone else for that matter. He began to fidget. Being in the presence of a former colleague that he now fights on a regular basis did make him a little uncomfortable.
"Man, I forgot what that one was called..."
Did this man ever shut up?
"The Cell! Yeah, that's it!"
No.
"Hey, Beyoncé, total hottie," he said, pointing at a particular page in the magazine.
"I have always been fond of Liza Minelli."
"Liza Minelli? Isn't she, like, old?"
Tohru shuffled his feet, he could never adjust to the company. "I admire her singing."
"You do know she's a druggie, right?"
"A what?" Tohru rubbed the back of his head.
"Liza Minelli's a junkie, she takes drugs. Even I know you're not into those kinds o' people. There are plenty more fish in the sea, Tohru."
"Excuse me?"
"Hey, take it from a guy with experience! It's time to move on. There are lots of gorgeous girls out there looking for a guy just like you!"
"You think I'm-"
"Don't worry about it, Big T! I know you haven't dated in a while, but you'll do fine!"
Finn was crazy. Plain Crazy.
They heard voices from around the corner. Chow and Ratso strolled down the street.
"Hey, Finn, we've been lookin' for you. Where ya been?" asked Chow.
"Me? I was talkin' to-"
"To who?" Ratso interrupted. Finn turned around. Tohru was gone.
"Damnit! You guys ruin everything!" Finn threw up his arms and stomped passed the magazine stand.
Ratso shrugged. "Was it somethin' I said?"
