It was nice to finally be free of the crushing loneliness that descended upon him every so often; he had been feeling quite low-spirited of late. Over nothing in particular, it was just a part of his condition, but he hoped a night out would help raise those spirits once more. With plenty of booze and laughter, happiness would rise up like a phoenix. Feeling the taxi slowing down, Nathaniel looked up from his flashy and fangled phone, thumb instinctively pressing down on the lock key. It took a moment for his gorgeous blue eyes to adjust to the twilight, but it wasn't long before a small, pleasant smile formed. Trying to pick out which of the regulars were standing outside, he half listened to the driver as he called out the total fare. Throwing either a ten or a twenty at the man, telling him to "Keep the change, please," Nathaniel stepped out of the black and white cab. Holding his phone, hand hanging loose by his side, he took a long breath through his nose, soaking up the clean-smelling air. His ears already rang with the chatter, laughter and bone-wrenchingly Indie music throbbing from the bar up ahead. The Circle Bar. It was his favourite watering hole in all of New Orleans, out of the way, nowhere near the Vampire District. A few patrons were buzzing around the front, smoking and talking outside; while the bar wasn't smoke free, some found it easier talking to... well, chatting up newcomers outside. It wasn't long before a few of the resident queens had spotted Nathaniel approaching, hand carefully and slowly tucking his mobile away. "Ooh, love the suit, Frankie!" chirruped one of them. That one did a particularly amazing drag act over at the Golden Lantern on Saturdays. It was so amazing that Nathaniel had allowed him to get away with calling him Frankenstein to begin with. Little did he know that Frankie would end up being the only name people called him by whenever he decided to surface. All that being said, it was a particularly nice suit if he did say so himself, an Armani white linen two-piece suit with accompanying patent leather shoes. Smoothing down his aubergine-coloured tie against his immaculate pink pinstripe shirt, Nate flashed the queen a coy smile before leaning into to kiss him lightly on both cheeks, his nose peeling the layers of perfume back like petals on a flower. "I'll see you inside, dear. What are you drinking?" Even though the only time he ever saw this bunch was when they were all out getting trashed, he would still regard them as friends... perhaps his only friends. "Afraid you'll have to look after yourself tonight, Frankie. We're off home now," he explained, smiling and leaning a little drunkenly on the shoulder of an attractive young man. "I've blagged myself a bonaroo omi-palone. Bona charver, or so my coves have cackled!" Finishing the ancient gibberish off with an overstated wink, he wheeled his catch away from Nate and went wandering off into the night, laughing as he went. Smiling as the two figures vanished into a taxi, the doctor turned about and stepped into the bar. The music was a welcome slap across the face, while the bar was full, it had been busier in the past. At least this way he could manoeuvre easily to the bar. A few minutes later he had a double gin and pineapple in his hand, watching the band draw the crowd into a gentle head bobbing, knee bouncing lull. It was only when he rubbed some sleep from his eye that he realised he had forgotten to apply what little makeup he usually wore. Rolling his eyes with a tinge of irritation, the doctor turned about and started heading for the toilets. words: 658. credit: Crayola. tags: Damian Grím. notes: It's been far too long since we last did this. |
