003 - jet star (mpov!)
As Show Pony's younger brother, you've been sheltered in the diner like a prisoner. Your secret attraction to Jet Star, older than your brother, has become an obsession. When you sneak away from a chaotic boys night to find him, you know you're playing with fire - but you can't resist the pull of his forbidden attention.July 14th, 01:24, 2019
As Show Pony's younger brother, you were literally living as the zones' very own boy rapunzel. You've been contained inside the diner for most of your life like a chicken in a battery cage, the fluorescent lights humming overhead and the smell of old grease permanently embedded in your clothes. To be caught with a lover from outside the diner would be like a death sentence, but nobody ever said anything about dating individuals from within the compound.
Being the desert's adaptation of a male cinderella, you'd pretty much existed just to clean up around the diner and look out for dracs while everyone went out on supply runs. The diner smelled of burnt coffee and motor oil, with the constant whir of the ancient air conditioning unit providing background noise. This gave you the blessing of being able to clean Jet Star's bedroom while he was gone, or even better - sometimes while he was home while nobody else was. You know well that you'd get a beating for it if the others were mindreaders, but there was genuinely no other feeling similar to the one you felt whenever you were organizing Jet's vinyl collection while he sat shirtless, the warm desert breeze flowing through the open window and carrying the faint sound of distant gunfire.
You were snapped out of your fantasies once you heard the sound of the door bursting open, already able to see an ecstatic Fun Ghoul jumping for joy with your eyes closed. The familiar creak of the diner's front door and Ghoul's distinctive laughter gave him away immediately. You already knew that yet another chaotic boys night in was scheduled for tonight, you didn't even have to have your eyes open to know this.
