03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
He too felt a spark as Brooks fingers brushed his own. A smile pulling at his lips as he watched the guy put his number in and save it. He took the phone back with a slightly more intentional brush of his fingers.
Mikey chuckled, not so sure what the sudden correction was about. It seemed like a normal enough request. "Aren't I the lucky one then?" He wondered vaguely if that was a hint that Brooks wasn't in the habit of picking up hook ups at his shows. Not that he would have blamed the guy.
He typed up a quick text for the address and signed it off with "See you there Mikey "
He was looking forward to seeing the sunset but much more looking forward to getting to know Brooks one on one. "I guess I shouldn't steal you away for too much longer, huh?" He said, eyeing the door back into the venue. Behind which there were probably still fans chomping at the bit.
Not that he was in any hurry to give up the eye candy. If anything this was much slower and more careful than he usually was with guys he had an interest in. Then again he wasn't in the big city anymore. If things didn't go well he would still have to bump into Brooks at college.

The second was also brief but it left the same feeling as the first had, as though Brooks could still feel the tingle there of where Mikey's fingers had brushed his for minutes afterwards. It was a beautiful ghost of feeling that left Brooks feeling nervously excited. He was trying not to overthink anything. Yes, Mikey was wildly attractive, but that didn't mean that this wasn't just a one sided feeling. In fact it seems to Brooks that it only made it less likely like Mikey would find any interest in Brooks at all. At least not beyond hiking companions.
He heard the ping on his own phone and pulled it out of his pocket to scan the text. He couldn't help the little smile that lifted his lips as he did so. His attention was pulled back to the door of Harland's at Mikey's comment and he felt a little twist of his stomach as he thought about going back inside though, he realized, most of that had to do with turning away from the man beside him.
"Ah, ya I suppose. My bandmates won't let me hear the end of it if I don't come back," he said, fiddling with his drumsticks once more as he looked from the door and back to Mikey. It sounded really nice to just walk away with him without looking back, but his insecurity was his biggest downfall in this moment. "Hey, it was nice to meet you, Mikey. I'll catch up with you tomorrow," he said and reached out to clap the man on the shoulder perhaps a bit too roughly as he smiled.
As he turned to walk away he immediately grimaced once his back was turned as he mentally chided himself for such a stupid goodbye. He urged his feet to keep him moving forward.
He could see the hesitation Brooks had to go back in. It might have just been Brooks reluctant to get caught back in a crowd but Mikey still felt a bit of an ego boost that Brooks seemed more interested in having a quiet chat with him than getting fawned over with his bandmates. He sort of missed the chase of meeting someone and feeling chosen. He hadn't really gone out of his way to meet anyone since he returned from the big city. The firm clap as rough and friendly as it had been was just handsy enough to reignite his sense of chase. He was really looking forward to tomorrow. "Yeah" he replied, playing it cool, or as cool as he could manage and watched Brooks slip back into the venue.
He didn't follow Brooks back in and instead returned to the parking lot to drive home with his head brimming with possibilities for tomorrow.
