Trinity shrugged. "So marry me."
Whitaker stared at her. "You're a lesbian and I'm the opposite of a lesbian."
"Like that's stopped people before," Trinity said.

Summary
i.
When he turns his head to glance inside, eyes seeking for something to do without a customer to handle, Benson sees how his hair’s matted down to his forehead under the bill of his cap, sees the sparkle of sweat above his lip. Bradley doesn’t notice him looking, never does, but especially not now as he wavers in his spot in front of the register from the movement. His eyelids flutter a little, and Benson thinks too belatedly that the kid’s gonna eat tile if he doesn’t sit down.Benson looks away, back down to the table, squeezing his eyes shut hard for a second and pressing his thumb to the spot between his brows. The heat’s making his mind run too fucking slow.
ii.
He eyes Benson’s jacket one more time before turning to grab a dishrag and heading back to the counter. He passes by Benson mopping near one of the back tables and, this close, he’d know he was passing by Benson even with his eyes closed. He always smells like what Randy imagines the smoking section of a bar is like.That was the other tell, he realizes belatedly — the green coat smells like musty cigarettes. Rained-through and dredging up to surface all the stale smoke embedded in the threads.

Summary
The listing went out to the appropriate places and an interview was held for a measly four candidates, of which three did not turn up. So, that was that.
Randy's first impression of the new boy, because he was a boy, was the memory that he was the same young man that he’d seen stabbing the end of a penknife into his thumb outside of the lonesome gas station where he filled up his car after work. He’d made brief eye contact with him and then scurried off because the smile he’d gotten in return had made the ends of his hair frizz and his stomach turn. The car he drove was old, a manual transmission, and after he’d fumbled with his keys and got the car going, he had stalled the engine twice with the thought of the tip of the knife slicing through the boy’s thumb.

written for the tumblr anon prompt, "ranson, but their ages are reversed". Randy trains the new BBB employee, a twenty-one year old called Benson, across the first five days of the job. Wanting and needing are two very different things.

Summary
“First time?” Donnie asked and Randy reared back, unsure of how to answer.
“H–huh?” He blinked, willing his face to not go red, even though it probably wasn’t visible underneath the odd, alien glow of the roaming lights that hung from ugly metal straps in the ceiling.
“Drinking, I mean. You don’t seem like the kind of kid to be underage drinking.” Donnie grinned as Jess and Chris closed in around Randy, pinning him into the booth as Benson was used as the lackey for drinks, swearing under his breath as he brought over a tray full of shots that glowed luridly on the dirty cork coasters underneath them. Slopping haphazardly onto the tray.
-----
The BBB crew force Randy out for drinks to celebrate his 21st birthday. Based on the prompt by dancinghannigram on tumblr, "the first time randy & benson go to a club/dance floor together and randy being clingy and in love and oblivious to the fact and benson's just really amused by it"

Summary
Randy wondered what the West could hold that was so interesting that Benson wanted to point the nose of the car towards it. Much like he wondered how any of the places they’d visited had been of interest to a man in his thirties who barely knew what the air smelled like ten miles outside of town.
Still, the Randy from last month wasn’t anywhere to be found as the new one, wearing clothes he picked solely for himself and covered in the bruises from the fingertips of a man who was ultimately terrible for him, sat in his stead. Taking up the passenger side of the car with a bolstering new personality and hair shavings digging into the skin of his neck where his t-shirt’s collar lay. Benson shrank under the irritation of this new person, sweating down the sides of his temples and twisting in the driver’s seat as he tried to get away from the size of Randy’s rage.
~
Randy & Benson continue their journey, leaving Florida behind and heading West. Cresting between love and sheer irritation. The catalytic emotions towards Randy's final pit-stop, someone or something completely different to the young man that was bundled into the car on that last Saturday morning shift.
