p_r_i_s_c_aTitle: Fighting the loneliness
Character: Zeke Tyler, Casey Connor
Word Count: 200
Prompt: same old story
Finished: 15.02.2023
Note: slightly AU because I guess the boys are already going to college in this story
:::
He felt like an idiot. Annoyed about himself, Zeke stared at the message on his cellphone. Of course, they wouldn't come home. It was always the same old story. They made promises, and they reneged them. What did they care that it was his 21st birthday? They had never cared about any birthday, neither about holidays or his graduation from highschool.
So, why did it still hurt? Why did he still hope that one day things would change? That his parents finally would show him at least some love?
He looked up when footsteps came closer. Casey Connor, cute boy, but a tiny bit too geeky. No one he wanted to hang around with. On the other hand... „Hey, Connor. Any plans for the weekend?“
„Me?!“ The boy looked surprised. „Dunno. Maybe a short trip to Akron. The photo exhibition at the Art Museum sounds very interesting. Modern...“
„Or,“ Zeke interrupted him, „you do some clubbing tonight. There is this new nightclub in Columbus, the LUX. Ever checked it out?“
„No!“ Casey laughed, slightly embarrassed. „I guess I'm not a guy for clubbing.“
Zeke couldn't hide his grin. „Then it's about time to change your mind.“
