Emo Tom is Emo (II)
"Hey," Jane said as she nudged her friend Daria, "It's Andrea and her new boyfriend."
"Oh." Daria said as she deigned to look over at them, "Why should we care?"
"Just watch." Jane said mysterious with a sly grin.
Another night, another night at the Zon, except this time the Harpy's were playing since Max and Nick of Mystik Spiral had gotten into one of their legendary fights, Nick was now in the hospital with a broken hand, Max was at home refining his technique of making his anvil-strong skull move with lightning speed to take all punches.
It was his only defense.
As the singing styles of Monique bellowed forth like one of the actual choosers of death, Tom flicked some of his freshly dyed black fringe from his face and said to Andrea, "It isn't Spiral... But it's nice to hear other bands that understand my plight."
"Hmm hmmm." Andrea sounded to seem interested, even while cracking open her beer and watching Tom drink an actual goddamn Appletini at the Zon.
What interested her now was seeing how long it took someone to pick a fight with him.
"My life is an endless nightmare," Tom moaned in abject misery, "No one in my family knows how I suffer..."
He got that face that just reeked of "In three seconds I will start crying."
For some reason it reminded Andrea of the look O'Neill always got before he started sobbing, but for some reason whenever Tom had that look, it got her all hot and bothered.
She slowly chugged her beer, letting him get a good look at the way her throat moved as the liquid invaded her esophagus, and even in one of his fits of emo-misery, Tom visibly swallowed.
Then a gruff voice emerged from behind them, "Hey look at the emo-fairy and his sissy drink!"
Andrea and Tom turned and saw two big, burly dudes nearby, and they were clearly talking about Tom and the still nearly full appletini in his hand.
One of them caught Andrea's eye and asked her point-blank in a normal speaking voice, in front of Tom, "Why are you with that guy?"
Andrea just shrugged her shoulders and turned back to Tom, who even now was hugging himself and complaining about no one understanding him.
"As long as he doesn't start singing 30 Seconds to Mars lyrics to make himself feel better we're in the clear." Andrea told herself as she pulled Tom too her and began to lead him away to the bathroom's, there was a stall that they hadn't had sex in yet and she fully intended to change that.
"He's a stranger to some," Tom began to sing as Andrea hustled him to one of the bathrooms, it was impossible to tell which one, "And a vision to none..."
Everyone in the Zon heard a lustful, inhuman growl, emerge from Andrea's vocal cords as they reached the bathroom and she proceeded to thrust her tongue into Tom's mouth while unbuckling his pants.
In between their tonsil hockey and moans of pleasure, Tom was still trying to sing, "He can.." Oh! "never get enough..." moan! "Get..." throaty growl! "enough of..." slurp! "the one...!" oooohhhh!
As their figures mercifully vanished and the Harpy's finished their set, and proved that they were slightly more tolerable than the other 'performance' that was now going on in one of the Zon's two semi-functional restrooms.
Daria turned to Jane and said, "That was the most pathetic thing I've seen today."
Jane began to say, "Well that's not true..."
Then she thought it over.
"...Nevermind." she said with a shake of her head.
A lone, nearly full appletini was left abandoned on the bar with an empty beer bottle, one of the tough guys checked to make sure that no one was looking before swiping it and enjoying it's tooty fruitty goodness.
Note: Tom is singing the opening lyrics from the 30 Seconds to Mars song 'From Yesterday'.
