Angus and Reader
The Basic daily routine went as usual. After spending a lovely evening with Mae Borowski, the young (gender) woke up in a energetic and satisfying sensation the next day. The greetings of birds chirping and squirrels running around the trees made (y/n) inhale in a positive mood.
Being the most normal 24 year old, the (locks-color) ran downstairs and gave her/his parents the sweet kisses of Goodmorning. Since the dazzling and the carefree day gave efficacious potential, (y/n) decided to quickly make a delicious and nutritious (Fav-breakfast) to fill his/her and the family stomachs. The rich aroma of the meal wafted down and beckoned everyone in the room - it smelled delicious and with a promising delightful taste. Before any more drools could roll out from the family's mouth, Mr and Mrs (L/n) gladly joined their honor Son/daughter for a lovely family breakfast.
Cleaning up after food, the (gender)quickly ran upstairs to quickly change and get ready for the day. Since yesterday (y/n) quickly came up for a visit during Angus' work shift, He and the 24 year old opened up lot's of conversations. It was truly pleasant, Since Angus met (Y/n) in the scout camp - they two had some memories to share from the old past. Alas, now that the young (lock-color) came back, the 21 year old tall Male decided to take a time and Hangout with his dear old friend after his shift, and thus , (Y/n) was heading towards 'the Gaming Outpost 'too'' again.
"Greetings Angus!"
"Good Day, (Y/n)."
The Two politely yet smoothly welcomed each other like a two finest gentlemen in Possum Springs, For nor Angus or (L/n) ever hesitated to hold onto their manners.
"You ready to head out?"
"Well, I don't want to disappoint you (Y/n), but you came early - there's still around 30 minutes before my Day-shift ends."
"Oh... My bad, I seriously didn't check time. I apologize my dear sir!"
"Heh, Apologize accepted, m'lady/sir. "
For (Y/n)'s despise, he/she feared that it bothered the taller Male to be at his shift and demand him to go outside and play - after all, that is indeed childish and impolite. For a second, the (gender) stood awkwardly towards the cashier counter, not knowing what to do. But without any further second , the (locks-color) (gender) realized that it isn't much of a problem - (Y/n) could still act as a random citizen passing by the video gaming outpost ; it might help Angus and kill some time. The Taller male adjusted his round glasses as he saw (Y/n) turn back to look at him.
"Hey, Angus?"
"Yes, (Y/n)?"
"You remember when we were at the camp and telling the constellations to each other?"
"And how I was the one to remember names, and you're the one to remember the backstory of the constellations? Of course, how can I forget ?"
"Well! I remember that you once told me, that you wanted to talk about the constellations- but instead - about the movies and video games!"
(Y/n) clapped his/her firm hands together, hinting for Angus at the brilliant idea. Realizing the (gender)'s mischievous tone, Angus did realize what his old friend meant. It was, after All indeed true -
Long ago, back when they used to be good young lads, (Y/n) and Angus became friends at the camp scout.
As the sun went down, the fire became bright and vivid, as though someone had shown a spotlight on it. The intensity and excitement of the flames was like they were dancing in the moonlight. A lake nearby had the reflection of a distant glow, like a bright sun on land. The colors were brilliant reds, oranges, and faint yellows.
The night brought such a silence that the crackle of the campfire was all that could be heard, like a crazy natural music. The flames that licked at the wood and the red sparks both danced in the cool breeze. (Y/n) and Angus sat closely on a mossy log, facing the golden fire, their faces toasted warm and their back cold, mesmerized, relaxed. It was like the fire was charming their worries from them and sending them heaven bound along with the dark smoke.
Without Angus' round glasses, the starry night was a brilliant Van Gogh, everything bigger and brighter, blurred in the most fantastic way. Just gazing at the midnight blue canvass above stole every thought from his mind, the usual carousel of worries simply forgotten. There was the heavenly stars above and a crescent moon to smile down; what else was there to know about?
The breeze blew warm announcing the coming of summer's hottest days. The aroma of the tall grasses were an intoxicating perfume and the starry night above was a painting more sublime than any man could create. The clarity above became reflected in (Y/n)'s mind and before the sunset the two sat a plan in motion. The two would raise their heads and stare at the bright dots for what seems to be forever.
In the ancient time, men use the magical symbols above the night sky for navigation. These star pattern saved a lot of lives in the old age. Some stars fade and some shine like a glowing light bulb. Each of them has its own unique shape, level of brightness and size. Some stars are bigger than others and showing they are the king of star. Sometimes, many dots appear at once above the dark somber sky, and they look like rice grains flowing above out into the galaxy, into the alien world and feed them. As (Y/n) and Angus watch these dust like particles slowly swimming above their head, they begin to raise our hand and wanting to touch them.
In one Hand, Angus was well known for his knowledge of a photographic memory - with remembering all the names and lines between star, the taller male knew how each constellation's navigation and names. Meanwhile on the other hand, (L/n) would remember the backstory , tales and myths about the characters and legends about the stars. Together Angus and (Y/n) could tell the full case of stories of theses Star, like a grandmother's bedtime fairy tale.
Angus had to admit, he wouldn't be able to tell the longest constellation without (L/n)'s knowledge, just like the (gender) won't be able to tell them without Angus' strong history and geographical knowledge. Though what the 21 year old Male admitted was if he told the constellations but about movies and videogames - he could've been a professional at it. And Surprisingly, (Y/n) still remembers that - he/she wished to see Angus' hidden talent of technology and digital history into action!
So what could be a better chance than today ;
"Oh Yes! I do remember-"
"Then what are you waiting for, Cap'n , embrace me with the knowledge of Video Gaming Outpost !!!"
(Y/n) happily wobbled his/her arms in a Serpentine manner, quite familiar to Gregg's and Mae's motions, as The Taller Male couldn't unnoticed his friend's cheerful and energetic mood. Angus chuckled slightly at (L/n)'s reactions, makinging his glasses slightly bounce off. Stepping off from his position behind the cashier counter, Angus approached (Y/n).
"Alright, alright - you got me. I guess it is my chance. What do you want to start with?"
"Uh... I don't know? Whatever is first?"
The (Gender) and the brunette Male turned around facing the wall that is filled with shelfs. Many shelves and bookcases were placed all around the wall and probably attached into it. All sorts of digital games and movies were placed for sale and borrow ; movies, series, seasons, documentaries, games , special collection - you name it. Many colorful and different wallpapers and covers were decorating the CD disks, to attract the customers into the content. (Y/n) bright widen (eye-color) eyes trailed all around them without stop.
"Well, let's start with this one then."
Angus started from the right. He spoke as if a Customer was interested into buying something different - he told about the genres, categories and producers. He seemed to fully know about the directors and their reputation productions that was implied into their final work. Angus slightly summarized the story behind the movie and games, while adding small tips and facts about it.
(Y/n) was focusing and concentratingly listening - the (gender) liked video games , movies and tv series - but he/she wasn't informed about all of their facts and productions, unless if the 24 year old was a huge fan herself/himself. But despite all the facts, (L/n) was genuinely surprised at the all knowledge Angus held about that ; He was like a living wiki or IMDb.
"Oh, and is it a cheap spinoff that doesn't even show the aliens at all during the film?"
"Luckily - no. They do show them, and their CGI is well made. But in the game, you won't even see any actors, more of a desolation vibe..."
Angus continued reviewing and touring to (Y/n), constantly getting distracted or just getting ahead of their topic. In fact, Angus and (Y/n) were so focused, facing the covers , that they didn't even heard how a person entered the store.
"Ehem...sorry to disturbed you two, but your shift is over."
The brunette and (locks-color) startled at the female voice behind them, as they both turned their attention was fully on the young female adult.
" Angus, your day shift is over. I thought you were supposed to lock the place until I come."
"Uh ... what?"
" ... I'm sorry, we didn't look at the time."
Although The male's expression held the same old calmness , (Y/n) still felt an uncomfortable tension and awkwardness. What time was it? Could it be that around 40 minutes had passed, and what seems to be ; Angus' day shift has ended 10 minutes ago? The two young adults seemed to spend more time here than expected, focusing on their discussion about video Games.
The Female employee seemed to be waiting for both Angus and (Y/n) to get out from here, since her late noon-shift has begun. Seeing the boring and annoyed glares from the female worker, (y/n) started to brilliantly act accordingly ;
"Ah, indeed ... um... my apologies Miss, it seems I was busy choosing my next favorite game to buy!"
(L/n) started to speak, for what seems a - fake British accent. The (gender) wanted to apply how fascinated she/he was by this plays and employees - which was the upcoming plan. The poor Angus was still confused.
"Um... it's ok?"
"You see, Miss, this young gentlemen - Angus, helped me. He told me everything about the available sales and the content of which is to choose!"
"Oh, um, really...?"
"INDEED! The amount of knowledge and fact-based information this Gentleman posses is Fascinating, if I do say so myself ! Now I can live in peace, knowing that this plays owns such hardworking and talented workers, my dear !"
Angus understood (Y/n)'s actions immediately, as he was genuinely flustered yet relieved. The (Gender) seemed confident in her/his confession about this plays, as (Y/n) crossed her/his arms in pride. But to the female employee's obliviousness, she was stumbled - she felt nervous at (L/n)'s "creative" type of speech, but surprisingly , the women never heard anything like this coming up from a customer. Do people truly misjudged their co-workers that much?
"Ah... That's- um, that's very good hear. I'm very glad you like it here Miss/Sir! After all... we are proud of our employees... heh!"
"Oh you should! But I won't bother you any further, I believe is time to take our leave."
"O-okay, Sir/Miss, but we're not closing - you may come whenev-"
"Have a lovely night!"
Before the female worker could even finish her sentence the Brunette Male and the (gender) with a stereotypical British accent stormeded out from the store, leaving the late-shift worker alone in confusion and awkwardness.
The two friends casually went outside with a typical normal facade plastered on their faces. Angus and (Y/n) stood outside in the street, staring at each other at silence, until the two bursted out with uncontrollable laughter.
"That - was amazing!"
"Have you seen her face when I spoke ?!"
People think of laughing as a noise that comes from the mouth, but when Angus laughed it was nothing like that. The laugh was in his eyes, in the way his face changed into that vision of relaxed joy and unrestrained mirth. Yet truly, it wasn't in his face either. His laugh came from within ; as it was joined with the (gender)'s own chortles, which made the passing strangers glare at them with confusion and annoyance.
The laugh came from (Y/n) like a newly sprung leak - timid at first, stopping and starting. He/she wasn't done yet though, Angus could tell from the way he/she rolled her/his hazel eyes to the sky and half bit his lip. From deep inside his chest came a great shaking motion and face muscles grew tight.
"heh, you know, the British accent was too much."
"Oh but you gotta admit it Big Guy - it was funny!"
"Yep, you're right. Thank you (Y/n)"
"Say thanks when they'll give ya a raise or something!"
