" IN THE MEANTIME I'M IN BETWEEN TIMES " marley had glanced over, attention straying from cook as a black car came to an abrupt halt. the driver's arm swung carelessly out the window, and he called out to them with a quote from mean girls. it was one of cook's friends, who he'd recognised as the other guitarist. what was happening at the moment made him feel as if he were going on some sort of exclusive tour with a renowned band, a once in a lifetime opportunity no one in their right mind would pass on, when in reality it didn't near that status. these were a couple of kids who'd probably started off playing in their parents' garage, and he was simply going to a barely-adult bonanza to get absolutely shitfaced, like most people his age did, due to a peculiar set of circumstances he'd long stopped caring for. nevertheless, it was rousing, he was excited, and the former felt more accurate than the latter. cook didn't need to say anything in regard to whether he needed a ride, and mar assumed he understood that when he'd just stopped talking and walked to the car. he followed behind him.
the brunet stepped into the tahoe, scooting in next to cook and shutting the door behind him. indeed, the band was all huddled in the car now. he ushered a silent greeting to both the driver and the girl sitting opposite to himself. the tall one from earlier who'd started all of this was sitting up front in the passenger seat. marloe smiled at him shrewdly, and the other seemed to scoff in reaction, clearly surprised to some extent, averting his eyes to stare out the window. he wondered briefly whether the man was about to step out of the car to walk around and grab him, then throw him out onto the streets to get run over by a passerby, but luckily for him, almost immediately following the slam of the door, the driver sped off for the life of him. mar had to grip onto the back of the seat in front of him as the car wobbled with all the turning it was doing. every time they passed a red light mar had to shut his eyes out of fear that another car would come slamming into them. it was a good fear though, which was an inexplicable feeling, really. during this experience, he made a bit of small talk as social drinkers usually did. when black sabbath came on, however, the music was turned up to its' maximum volume and all conversation pretty much ceased. everyone screamed along and pumped their first, bouncing the vehicle as an addition to the already pretentious ruckus, as if the party itself was actually supposed to be happening in the car. he loved it.
they'd finally arrived in front of a house. it was more of a mansion, really, and marley couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at the sight of it through the window. what charmed him more than the building before him was the people outside making out, streaking, pissing; the epitome of teenage idiocy. he pressed his lips together, resisting a laugh. he followed cook out of the car to get a better look at 'casa de cook.' "es hermoso," he replied with a smirk. "very classy." he was specifically referring to the older streaker that just happened to pass them. his eyes followed him in disbelief. he glanced sideways at cook as he elbowed him. "so, do you plan on showing me around or am i supposed to wander around and potentially see something i'm not supposed to?" , he spoke, grinning slyly. that could've been an attempt at some cheeky, subliminal flirting from his part, but he couldn't even fucking tell himself because all that ran through his mind was what have i gotten myself into and i hope i remember tomorrow.
(omg no not at all, i hope you did good on them! yesss pls send me all those playlists bby cx)
