Ol’ Gabey boy, who was actually pretty young, was just cruising down the streets on a beat up skateboard. Even though he wasn’t exactly poor, it would be trés dumb to own a car in Seattle. He would just stick to Uber and his own means of transpo. It was a nice day though and he wanted to feel the breeze.
Well, sort of because he had decided to do a sheet ghost photoshoot so he was currently wearing a white sheet over his body, and Rayban sunglasses over the eye holes. Just a friendly ghost doing some sick tricks.
He was just headed to get some Chinese food because he was mad craving some dumplings and that weird sweet sauce you dunked em in.
The tall ghost boy would roll up to the mixed bag of Chinatown and Pike’s place, kicking off his board and removing the sheet which would be promptly stuffed into his backpack. The ginger youth today was wearing a black long sleeved shirt with a crying anime boi on the front and random Japanese on the sleeves, his emerald green flannel was tied around his waist, and he was rocking matching black joggers with a cloth skirt. The material of the flannel laid perfectly over top of the skirt, giving him that stylishly layered look. The skirt itself also had a few straps on the sides, mingling with a single chain. Sneakers of choice today were a pair of leather black and white Adidas, looking stupid brand new when in reality he just really took care of his clothing.
His hair was tousled upwards off his head and his pale skin was flushed with exertion and also a light application of makeup to make him ever camera ready.
Yup, all this just to cover it up with a sheet and ride down to get some Chinese food.
He pulled out his iPhone really quick, a small camera attached overtop the three lenses. “Ayyo guys, gals, and non binary pals, it’s ya boi, Gabe, I just took some seriously legit pics that I’m about to drop on my Insta, and also a video you guys will see on here. Don’t forget tomorrow is femme boy Thursday and super don’t forget to check out my new single being played on a local radio station this weekend. I’ll post more deets about that later. Anyway ima bout to bust up some Chinese, my dudes, so I’ll catch ya on the flip side,” and the kid would flash a peace sign and wink cutely at the camera before sliding it back into his pocket.
He went to wait in line, pulling his phone back out of his pocket as he posted said pix and vids, watching the clicks roll in while he waited.

Was it Ginger day at this Chinese restaurant, or did gingers call each other and tell them when to be where? Evelyn had finished the day's class and was on the way home via the public transportation of Seattle when she decided to pick up some food for her father and herself. She had to have some way to thank the man for helping her when her problematic nightmares. Her dad rocked! Had she arrived in the restaurant, maybe she would have been in front of the other redhead, and therefore, wasn't in his little video for his fans. but as luck would have it, she looked up and saw the camera pointing at him in a selfie sort of way. Her eyes narrowed, before she stuck out her tongue at the phone, raising her hand up and setting it behind Gabe's head, with two fingers poking in the air like bunny ears. Prank? You bet your ass she would, hearing the way he talked to his followers, and the fact he did so and she was caught in it.
Gabe being Gabe didn’t really notice til he was posting the video, not needing to rely on unnecessary edits. Plus, he liked to focus his brainpower on his musical editing not his videos.
He turned around, thick brows furrowed over his dark emerald gaze. “Hey! That little move could cost me a couple-“ and then he stopped himself because, hello hot babe. You don’t yell at hot babes.
“Oh, sup. Do you have Tiktok I can tag you and like... we can pretend it was on purpose,” he said with a charming but also kind of lazy, goofy grin. Like a ginger golden retriever.

A raised eyebrow was made, when her instincts told her that he was a little mad about her stunt, her lips curled into a response. But then he stopped. "Cost you followers? As if, you're followers would probably be bitching me out because of it."
A grin formed, when he asked what her tiktok was, so he could tag her. "Oh, so now my genius move was planned," she asked, taking the moment to sample his offer to share credit, before she'd give a nod of the head, "gingerscissorhands. And I guess I should warn you, I do a mostly cosplays." She slipped er own phone from her pocket, and touched the app to open it. "Gonna give me yours, Goofy?"

He couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Very dramatically, very slowly. It’s a wonder they didn’t roll out of his head.
“I have like 8 mil followers and they’re like really needy. I love them but like yeah anything can tick em off it feels like,” he responded, not really feeling the annoyance as much anymore.
“Cosplay is cool. I like to go as Rocky to the local Rocky Horror. I have to wear, like, a wig and stuff but it’s cool. I don’t really have time for like major work but I’ve done closet cosplays on requests. This group of girls keeps requesting ‘more himbo’ characters whatever that means,” he said with a chuckle, shaking his head at the term.
“Sure, mine is GabeTheBabe. I’m kinda a big deal on there,” he said with a crooked grin. It would be arrogant if it weren’t true. Especially after the radio shout out.
“Why does everyone call me that? My name is Gabriel or Gabe. Or Goji if you’re into my music.”
Oh heck, what could it hurt? He ran a hand through his hair and as he did it, a wave of something would hit Evelyn. Essentially whatever smell she most desired was suddenly all over him. Couldn’t hurt to try and score a little action, could it? Of course, this would be a physical reaction and not one of the psychic variety.

Couldn’t hurt to try and score a little action, could it? Of course, this would be a physical reaction and not one of the psychic variety.
She continued her grin as he spoke about his followers being needy, and shrugged her shoulders, "I don't pay attention to what the followers what; I mean, if they like what I make, they like it. I din't get the app to satisfy them, just to have a bit of fun," she replied, before she heard what he cosplayed from. "Rocky Horror?" her eyes sized the guy up, before continuing, "I've considered doing Frankenfurter from that! Odd movie that one is. Himbo is the strong, attractible but intelligent guys."
Eve quickly typed in the name he spoke, and selected a video, paused it, and scrolled through the comments, to get a better understanding of his followers. Oh boy. Needy was right! She giggled again, as she threw out the comment, "Needy is right, heh." As a big deal, was hella cocky in her opinion, but she selected to follow regardless. She closed the app, and pocketed the phone, as she said, "Maybe we can do some collabs sometime--" before she sniffed the air, and why did this guy smell so good? Like popcorn, Jack, and Bobby? Memories of their last peaceful date flooded into her mind, as she reached a hand out toward his chest.

“My followers help me make a lot of sweet, sweet money so... they’re kinda like my bosses,” he said casually, then scrunched up his face. “Bro, that’s kinda depressing.” He pondered that for a moment before the thought yeeted itself from his head.
“Frankenfurter, huh? You should, uh, totally go with me sometime,” he offered nonchalantly.
“Are you sure that’s what himbo means? Maybe I should just look it up...” Gabe trailed off again and then glanced back to her. “Oh right, lemme follow you back. If I meet someone I person and they’re not a total spazz I usually do follow for follow. I would totes be down for some collabs. I’m like totally into nerd stuff too. I’ve got layers,” he looked down at her and at her hand, just deciding to let it happen. His lips edged into a smirk.
“How about I buy your dinner for you? And also you tell me your actual name, Ging?” And he applied his smoothest smile, all straight teeth and oozy charm.

At the mention of his fans helping him make money, Eve froze a moment, like wait what? If her TikTok could help make ends meet, maybe she could try out a little. Entertain her followers more. At least nothing to jeopardize her entrance to Quantico. An invitation to go with him to Rocky Horror earned a wink and a shrug, signifying a maybe.
Redheads did have to stick together, after all.
The questioning her was taken with a chuckle, responding with, "Listen dude, I had to look it up too. I got those requests too," which made her pause, before adding, "I do drag cosplays. I've got some pretty tight Lestat videos, and I think I've some ladies digging me, to be honest." His layers comment got a giggle out of her, throwing out, "Okay, by Ogre friend, you're like an onion!"
Damn, he smelled good though, she thought, the offer of buying her dinner coming over her. "Well, I was here picking up dinner for me and my dad, since he's the best, but you're cute...so...I'm Evelyn. Evelyn Drake."

Glanced down at her, seeing her face. “Wait did you not know that? Yeah once you hit like a certain amount of followers you can, like, turn that into cash. Yeah, we’ll definitely collab. I can teach you my ways. It’s all about marketing yourself and, like, not being afraid to look dumb,” he explained with a shrug.
“Lestat? Like sexy vampire? Oh, I gotta see that. Who doesn’t love sexy vampires? I’m more of an Edward Cullen guy, myself. Like being a queer dude, something about the sparkles. Plus, cmon RPatz is hot as fuck.”
Though, he didn’t know much about vampires except from movies but like that counted right?
“Yoooo, yes. You got my Shrek reference. I did a sexy Shrek cosplay once and that blew the Hell up. People are weird but hey, I ain’t gonna shame anyone,” he’d chuckle, remembering cashing in on that video. He got a whole professional recording set up in his flat.
“Oh, I wouldn’t wanna keep you from your dad,” Gabe replied with a weirdly guilty look on his face. Probably his own parental issues. But he perked up at the compliment. “Yeah, you’re cute too. And like totally nerdy. But you carry it so mainstream. I could be into that. You wanna sit and grab a bite then?”

She had blinked at that little tibbit of information of the app. She bowed to the other, as she said, "Yes, teach me the ways of the TikTok,Gabe-won Kenobi!" She grinned, before she gave him a shocked expression. "Edward Cullen? My duude, Lestat was the queerest vampire though! I'm going to have to ask you on a date, so we can watch Interview with a Vampire again!" she explained, with a grin, some girls had to teach boys, girls, and pals truths about these things. Sometimes it was tough to be Eve. But she managed to muddle through.
She grinned at jiving on Shrek references, raising her eyebrows at Gabe, before she said, "Shrek was great, but I really crushed on Fiona. Especially in that Ogre form."
Eve looked Gabe over, and then said, "Well, as long as you don't keep me out too late, I'm sure that it will be fine," thinking to herself that she'd have a story to tell her father about this boy she had met.

Gabe actually... blushed, which was rare for him. He bit his lip and glanced away for a moment before snorting. “Gabey-wan Kenobi. Wow. So you’re like a super nerd?” He asked with a sly grin, teasing her but definitely in a gentle way.
“Uh yeah, definitely at my place, though if that’s cool. I have a really nice 4K projector I like to watch movies on. I think it’s more fun than just having like a jumbo tv or whatever,” he would lift a shoulder again, trying to put on the airs of nonchalance. Truth be told, this was the most in person human interaction he had had since the Collision brought him over.
“Oh, she could’ve crushed me and I would’ve died happily. People always get weirded out about that. But like I once dated a chick who was blue and had like two sets of arms. And I once dated a dude who looked like a Minotaur. Like, if they’re hot, they’re hot, you know? I don’t discriminate,” Gabe explained with an animated hand.
He almost felt a little bad about the pheromones but hey, not bad enough to stop.
“Hell yeah, def shoot him a text though. I don’t want like him to think you got kidnapped,” he said quickly, because he may be a fuck boy but he wasn’t totally without manners. Plus, if he got in good with her dad then he could definitely score some more time with her. “Yeah, let’s order and we can find somewhere to sit.” He would place a hand at the small of her back and usher her forward to order, using his other hand to totally fist pump the air.
He was definitely back on the horse.

Was is the phermones working, or was the fuckboy getting more attractive? The blush and the change in nickname just made him seem way more cuter than before. Her head bobbed when she was referred to as super nerd, adding, "Picard is my captain!"
Her eyes widened at the statement of hosting said movie date on a 4k projector, though the arrogance his body language gave off extinguished some of the excited. She had contacted with various, folks since she arrived, but only a hand full seemed particularly important.
Evelyen waggled eyebrows at the image of the ogre version of the charcacter with Gabe, smirking at the information of who he dated.
"four arms you say," her words coming out slightly more as a question than she meant too, "that seems like an interesting power."
Evelyn smiled at the recommendation, her phonewhipping out and sending her father a text that read, "be a little later, met boy who offered to by me dinner. Details will be explained."
Her head glanced at the counter, feeling a hand on her back, and noticing the man taking orders seemed quite annoyed at them. "Sorry sir, this nice bouy was just offering to buy me and my dad's meal," she said, with a sly look at Gabe, smirking.

“Picard?” He tried to wrack his big dumb brain but came up short. And then, “oh, Star Trek? My dad was a big... what’s the word, Trekkie?” He grimaced slightly at the mention of his fad and abruptly the pheromones stopped, leaving behind a cloying scent that would slowly dissipate.
He recovered quickly enough though and began to order his food, then allowing Eve to order and then when she would order her dad’s food, he would add, “and that’s gonna be too go. Can you start making it in like 20 minutes?” That way it would be fresh and still warm. Gabe would of course pay, in cash surprisingly, and left a generous tip but that was only because he couldn’t do math.
So don’t be impressed.
“Uh, yeah... I don’t know, like, what other abilities she had besides that. But let being held down by her was something else. I didn’t realize I was like into that until then...” he went on casually as he grabbed them a table while they waited for their food. His backpack with the jutting skateboard was placed next to him so he could sit across from Eve.
“Oh, uhhh... I guess I should tell you, Eve, but I’m trans so. It’s not like a big deal or anything. I got top surgery last year and have been on T since I started high school but like, my gender therapist told me that like I should always be up front about to when I felt safe so,” and he would lift both shoulders and shrug, hands lifting in the air as it to say so here I am telling you.

A slight pang in her heart went off when her preferred captain wasn't recognized by the boy, and she was going to say something about it, but he seemed to go quiet after mentioning his dad was a Trekkie; hence the drifting away from that topic for now. It just didn't seem right for her too. If he wanted to talk about it, she would listen. She made her orders after he had, and waited for the transaction to be finished. She didn't know the reason why he had left such a big tip for them, so she was impressed. Sucks to not be a mind reader, but at least she could freak people out with horror creatures!
Evelyn took a seat at the table Gabe had snagged, crossed her leg over the other. Oh, Gabe had a serious face? The girl took on hers as well, blinking a moment when he started. Oh. She was not expecting to be trusted with such information so early on, but she listened fully to what he said. She nodded her head, offering a smile. "Well," she began, her hazel eyes flicking to the ceiling for her words, "I feel like trusting me with this means I should trust you with something, and the only thing I have would be that..I...love beyond the traditional bounds of what our society has? If that means anything. My heart has room for more than just one individual.

The boy blinked at her, and if thought bubbles were a thing his would be just a million ellipses.
“What, like... you’re a serial cheater?” He asked wholly serious. His eyes glanced around shiftily, wondering if he could trust her with another secret.
“I just... like it’s not a big deal. It’s just an aspect of who I am. It’s just... like some people aren’t into that and some people react bad so like. She said to just get it out the way in a public space so I don’t... you know,” and he shrugged. “One dude beat me up for it. That was before the T had really hit hard and like I was kinda scrawny. Like I can totally defend myself now. But like... you know. It’s just polite I guess.”
He seemed a bit uncomfortable. As if it wasn’t really something he did want to disclose to her. But more felt like he was required to by some skewed social contract.
“Anyway tell me more about this... uhhh loving without boundaries. What do you mean?”

“Anyway tell me more about this... uhhh loving without boundaries. What do you mean?”
Evelyn Drake pursed her lips, shaking her head at the serious question. "No no, there's never any cheating involved," she furrowed her brow, feeling that she was fumbling her words. She went quiet, setting her mind to work on how she needed to share the part of her that's most like his truth. A share he needed to know if he pursued her still.
She set her gaze upon the man, frowning as she relayed his story of earlier life. "Thank you for letting me see that part of you though," she said, with a smile, settling her arms on the table, and folding her hands together. But still, his body language looked off, like he was uncomfortable with something.
The switch in the topic was taken with ease, understanding that it was in his court of what he wanted to disclose. SHe titled her head, before she slowly began with, "It's a consual, ethical, and responsible relationship of non-monogamy." She kept her eyes looked on Gabe, before she smiled. "Sorry if I blurted it out on you," her had raised, and the fingers absent-mindedly itched the top of her had, "I just felt that if you shared something about yourself, I should trust you with something about myself."

Gabe stared at her some more, his discomfort morphing into outright confusion.
“I’m sorry what? Whaddya mean?” He asked, squinting at her with his head cocked.
“Non-monogamy?” That might be too big of a word for him.
His lips flapped a bit, chiseled jaw working up and down as if he were chewing over this idea. Gabe shut it then opened it once more but was cut off by their order numbers being called out.
He held up a finger as he stood, pushing off the table with his opposite hand. He retrieved their food and drinks, sitting back down and popping open his bottle of sweet tea.
After a healthy gulp of the southern classic, he asked, “so like you date multiple people and it’s not cheating ‘cause they all know?” His eyes moved around the room, lips moving around words he was trying to form.
“Wait. That’s an OPTION?!” Gabe said loudly, but not quite a shout. His voice was cartoonishly flabbergasted as he aggressively opened his plastic spork, shoving it into his pork boneless spareribs. He shoved a helping into his mouth, chewing almost angrily and swallowing.
“People are into that? That’s like something you can do and people don’t get mad?” Gabey boy muttered, almost talking to himself completely.
“You’re telling me, Eve, that I coulda been doing that this whole time?”
“I’m sorry what? Whaddya mean?” He asked, squinting at her with his head cocked.
“Non-monogamy?” That might be too big of a word for him.
His lips flapped a bit, chiseled jaw working up and down as if he were chewing over this idea. Gabe shut it then opened it once more but was cut off by their order numbers being called out.
He held up a finger as he stood, pushing off the table with his opposite hand. He retrieved their food and drinks, sitting back down and popping open his bottle of sweet tea.
After a healthy gulp of the southern classic, he asked, “so like you date multiple people and it’s not cheating ‘cause they all know?” His eyes moved around the room, lips moving around words he was trying to form.
“Wait. That’s an OPTION?!” Gabe said loudly, but not quite a shout. His voice was cartoonishly flabbergasted as he aggressively opened his plastic spork, shoving it into his pork boneless spareribs. He shoved a helping into his mouth, chewing almost angrily and swallowing.
“People are into that? That’s like something you can do and people don’t get mad?” Gabey boy muttered, almost talking to himself completely.
“You’re telling me, Eve, that I coulda been doing that this whole time?”
Evelyn had to admit, the boy had a funny reaction to her share, just glad that he was taking societies side in this. THe Pheromones may have gotten her to the point that she was interested in, but he had shown the qualities she liked. She waited for his to gather their meal after their number was called, and smiled when he returned.
"Thank you sir," she spoke, when her and her dad's food was handed to her. SHe took a moment to wrap the container with the meal she ordered for her dad in a small blanket she had in her backpack, nestling it in there, before she opened her contain, and stuck the fork into the food.
The admitance of some not so cool actions earned a studying eye from the ginger, responding with, "Though you can't just use being polyamorous from having cheated on someone." SHe started to eat her food, dipping her crispy pork into the sauce, and enjoying the taste melting in her mouth. she lifted a finger to her nose as she chewed, scratching it, before she swallowed, and said, "just make sure to talk to your partner."

Sighed a bit dramatically. “Look I... okay who hasn’t cheated? I just...” he didn’t want to make excuses but he was having a hard time explaining himself without getting defensive.
“Like I don’t know... I kind of was living on the streets awhile and some of the people I was with didn’t care what I did. Or with who. And then some of the others just did what they want and like...” he scooped some rice into his mouth and chewed for a moment.
“Poly... amorous? I’ve never heard that before,” he admitted freely, used to not knowing much.
“I wouldn’t have......... like done what I did it I had known I didn’t have to do it. I’m not into being with just one person. It’s like uhhhhh....” he trailed off as if he were a Karen troubling to make an order. “It’s like uhhh... my heart is ADHD. It can’t just focus on one person without like zoning out and getting bored, you know?” Gabe stuffed some more ribs into his mouth, practically swallowing them whole.
“Is that like how it is with you? Or...?”

Evelyn just looked serious as she ate her food, thinking he he just needed a moment to sort out his thoughts, god knows she needed moments like that. Especially when she had touched an item that she wished to know the history of. So she just ate. Her heart ached hearing he had lived on the street. Her heard thumped thinking of fitting him into the two bedroom place she was sharing with her father. She could deal with splitting her bed with him. Of course she'd be sharing a hunk...her cheeks reddedn, as she learned that past relationships of his didn't care of his activities, and others just did whatever. She titled her head. ADHD of the heart. Evelyn understood that.
"Sounds like it wasn't exactly polyamorous, but like," she paused, thinking about his words again, before she continued, "did it hurt when they didn't care? My boyfriend had explained about poly to me, and we just discovered that like there wasn't just a single direction a poly relationship can be. We had met Bobby in class one day, and she just clicked with us, so we asked her out."
Evie went quiet again, before she leaned it close, and whispered, "Jack and Bobby were like my first real relationships, but I had slept with them yet. Like, I dunno. I gotta be like at a certain place with peoplebefore...y'know...and they loved me, and were willing to wait for me. We all moved in together too..." her cheeks reddened at the idea she had revealed she was still had the virgin status, and she shoveled a few more bites into her mouth.
