Milieu

Summary:

"Metropolis, a city of light. In it, an omnipresent neon light. With an erratic and unrecognizable rhythm- soothing, feeling, lapping, scintillating, straining and filling every cell of this city with its entrancing glow."

HAVE FUN


Knocks.  On the door? No, on the window. A tall blonde man inside the room, and another blonde man out of the window.
The tall blonde approached the other, upon opening the window the other man spoke. "Sorry took me a while. There was traffic." 
The taller male smiled as words flashed his visor. [Well, it's fine.] Then, it flashed into another sentence [Sorry to trouble you into going here...
And it flashed back to display the latest news.  

"Aw, don't worry about it much Victor. I'm your friend. You can always count on me to come with you whenever you're too anxious to go out alone. After all, I know you!"

The tall male, Victor slightly blushed. He was glad he had a friend. [Shall we get going now? ] flashed as he picked up.... a puppy. black, patterned with white dashing across its middle. Wick was his name.
Victor descended the stairwell on the side of the building along with his friend.  [Say, Luca... Where are we going? ] Victor asked, placing Wick down.

"You'll see when we get there. " Luca, his friend, replied.


[A bar?] Victor's words flashed a question. 

"Why not? We haven't been into one for like...  So long! Besides it our night. My treat." Luca winked at him as he showed his identification card to the bar's guards. Escorting the puzzled blonde into the corner spot with less people, Luca called the waiter.  "Hey Vic what do you want?  Oh— I'll get one Cabernet Sauvignon please and.... Victor...  What drink do you want? Please wait awhile, my friend is still picking" Luca smiled as the waiter,  well...  Waited. 

[Well, I'll get one long island iced tea. ] Words flashed as the waiter nodded and took their orders to the bartender.  Luca blinked at Victor as a big question mark flashes on the screen, Luca had the guts to say, "Vic i never knew you're a strong drinker" In which Victor chuckled to. [Luca. i always order strong drinks on our bar nights ] Upon reading the words Luca shrunk back in embarrassment. He probably forgot about that fact about his best friend. 

"Ah....  i... erm..." Victor held Luca's hand. Assuring him that it was all alright to forget. Knowing his friend, Luca would always record his days on a video tape so he wouldn't forget.  

"So...  Any news? How's Have Fun going? " Luca asked. [Overall we're fine. not that much scandals, just weather reports and political news considering all the rioting workers from the underground city. ] Victor flashed on his screen. Luca smiled "That's great to hear." He said, as the drinks have arrived on their respective tables.  "Say, How many glasses can you drink?" Luca asked, sipping his red wine.  [I don't know.  Perhaps three? ] Replied Victor. Luca positively sighed. 

[My turn to ask you. ] Victor shot a glare.  Well, Luca can tell he's glaring behind that visor. Best Friend instincts i guess. "Fine,  what is it?" He replied in a monotone as he sipped more of his wine. 

[What are some of the things you remember that you’d rather forget? ] Luca gulped as the words flashed. 

"i....  remember... uh..." He does remember that one event.  He wish he'd forgot but....  "I don't remember anything ahahaha...  I'm...  I'm sorry Victor." He apologized as he immediately sipped more of his wine. Victor didn't mind.  But they're friends... And Victor knew there's more into Luca that he has never knew about.  "Say, do you have more questions Viccy?" Luca smiled to assure him everything was fine.

  It was definitely not fine. Victor could see how nervous Luca went so Victor shook his head. As much as he wanted to know, he respects his friend's privacy of history. 

Victor would love to experience a friend telling him their secrets..  If only he'd tell him...


After drinking alot and chatting, they both decided to head back home.  Luca however somehow ordered the same drink as Victor five times. Which led him to passing out on the bar around 9:46 pm. 

2:37am... Was the time they headed off back home "That was a fun night..." Luca drowsily said. Drunk, with Victor to cling onto, He'd definitely stay the night on Victor's place. Victor sighed as the little dog, Wick followed them from behind. 

Luca was already passed out as they walked through alleys and crossed roads. Luca wouldn't remember if he...  Victor shutted off the recorder before he proceeded to, "Hey Wick...  Did you have fun tonight too?  How was the treats...?" He calmly asked the small canine. 

Wick then,  replied with a series of barks. woofwoofbarkwoofbarkbarkwoofbarkwoofwoofwoofwoofwoofbarkwoofwoofwoofbarkwoofwoofwoofwoofbark

Victor chuckled.  "Glad you did. Hey Lu—" A sudden force bumped Victor which led him to fall. With Luca, still snoring peacefully ontop of him.  Wick barked as Victor got a glimpse of a ravenette,  running.

Behind him a group of policemen chased after.  One of them held a hand to help Victor stand up with his snoozing companion. "Pardon but we're chasing that vandalist on the run.  May you take care tonight sir." And off he went to chase. 

Victor sighed. A vandal. They keep on ruining the building's exterior architecture. Not to mention they came out on the side where his apartment was on. Victor rolled his eyes.  He'll probably have to cover that up tomorrow morning for the landlord. Upon reaching the apartment's outdoor stairwell,  the same set of stairs that let him get out of the place he locks himself into to avoid neighbors,  a graffiti — no... a mural. 

A mural of purple and pink flows, as if it was hazardous waves of ocean clashing onto eachother like neon lights painted onto the wall.  An unfinished mural to be exact.  

"Luca we're here." Victor said. Luca slowly went half awake "oooh....  i see....  mmm..." Was all Luca replied. "Luca we'll have to climb some steps come on it'll be quick if you tried.  Besides you'll rest once we get in." Victor said. As he assisted his friend into climbing the stairs, and window,  back into his room.

Luca laid rest on Victor's bed as Victor sat on his desk, to write a new article for his latest newspapers. If only he knew who that ravenette was and their reasoning for this malicious act of vandalism. Victor printed out the picture of the mural he took using his visor.
