kalen + everr
Everr had grown up next door to Kalen, and the two hadn't started out as best friends. Girls had cooties, after all. But when it became apparent that Everr wasn't like other girls, aka, she was a serious tomboy the two became inseperable. They'd play cars together, GI Joes, Cowboys and Indians, you name it. They'd watch Ninja Turtles and Transformers and X-men. In middle school, Everr started a comic book collection that boys envied. She started to grow up, just as Kalen did, and of course she noticed that he was attractive. Everyone in the world noticed. When he started dating Victoria, she befriended the other girl because Vic needed friends after the hell the other girls in the school put her through. Then Kalen went off to college, and so did Everr. They kept in touch, emails, IM's, texts, phonecalls. She talked to him every day, practically, and felt weird when they missed a day. The past month and a half things had been crazy for the both of them, and their phonecalls had been short. She had taken a break from school and traveled around for the past year, and when she decided to go back to New Haven for school she settled back into the apartment she had sublet. She knew Kalen was there, too, and so she decided to call him and tell him that she was back.

Kalen had one hell of a night before then. He was always a guy who'd known his limits and practiced the utmost respect when it came to minding his liquor, but he wasn't much in the mindset to care that night. He was bummed--over a girl of all silly things--and just didn't want to feel anything.

Of course, he felt everything that morning when his ringtone, "Starlight", echoed in his head. The was the ringer he had set for Everr, and despite the massive hell-ache, it made him smile. He patted around the nightstand and grabbed his phone. Without looking he accepted the call with a quiet groan and put the phone to his ear.

"Heeeey yoooou," he groaned out quietly.

	When she heard his voice, she arched a brow and smirked. She knew that tone of voice very well, and she let out a little laugh as she moved to lay back down on her bed. "Hey yourself, drunk-y," she teased as she stared up at the ceiling. "Or hungover boy. Why did you get drunk? Special occassion? I know all special occassions so this has to be a new one."

	"Totally hungover boy. Probably still a little drunk." He rolled over onto his side. "Oh, you know the best type of special occasion. Girl doesn't know I'm alive. Or does, but doesn't care." He slowly pushed himself fully upright and slugged his way to the bathroom. "You know. The best reason of all the drown your sorrows." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's the worst reason, silly," Everr said as she lifted her legs up and pointed her toes at the ceiling. "Well, lucky for you I'm back in town and lucky for you I will save you from moping around like a big baby," she added, her smile growing as she let her legs drop so that they dangled over the edge of the bed. "Do you know how long it's been since we've seen eachother?" she blurted out, arching a brow. They'd kept in touch after high school, but he'd gone one way and she'd gone another. It had been a very long time. "I wear girly clothes now, Kalen!"

Kalen chuckled. "Well! I'll believe that when I see it. Especially since I hear you've filled out a bit more to fit those girly clothes." They were close enough friends he didn't mind the fact that she was basically listening to him pee as he held the phone with one hand and himself with the other. "Why don't you demope-ify me over here? And bring some San Pelligrino? The big bottle." He smiled. "You'll get some breakfast out of it..."

Everr let out a soft laugh and lifted a hand up to pat her chest absent mindedly, "You think it's funny now. But wait." She sat up and ruffled a hand through her now red hair, she hadn't been blonde for the past year. She preferred darker hair, she felt too much like a barbie doll with it blonde. "Fine. Tell me where you are, sir," she said as she reached over to snag up her notebook and a pen. "Maybe I should get you something like seven-up or juice."

	"Bring me whatever you want, as long as you have San Pel with it." He gave Everr his address and directions from the main highway in case she needed it. He had no idea where she was at that moment. "Apartment two. On the left. I'll leave the door open. In case I pass out or something." He smiled and blew a kiss into the phone. "See you soon okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah yeah, okay," Everr said with a little laugh before she hungup the phone and slipped on a pair of black heels. She had on a pair of black shorts with pinstripes and a thin white v-neck t-shirt and a pair of suspenders. Her hair was pulled back in a loose ponytail and she checked herself in the mirror as she grabbed her keys and purse and was out the door. It wasn't long before she arrived with San Pel in hand and knocked lightly. She was a tiny bit nervous, mainly because it had been so long, but she was also excited.

Kalen wandered out of the bedroom and popped a few extra strength aspirin as he grabbed a glass of water and chugged it down. While waiting for Everr to arrive he started making breakfast as quietly as possible. He heard a soft knock on the door and grinned, despite the persistent pounding. He made his way over to the front door and smiled, throwing the door open. He stared at her for a moment. GOD was she gorgeous. "HEY!" He didn't realize he yelled that until too late. "...ow."

Everr twisted one of her feet while she waited, her free hand on her hip as her gaze drifted downwards to focus on her shoe. She swung her weight back and forth through her hips until the door opened up, and when she saw him her blue-green eyes widened in surprise. He looked different. Well, not entirely different, but different enough. He looked good. Kalen had always looked good, but Everr always pretended not to notice that. When he shouted 'hey', she arched a brow and let out a little laugh, "Hey yourself. I brought you what you asked for, sir," she said, lifting up the bottle of San Pel.

He had 20 more tattoos and a bit more muscle since she last saw him, and he was pretty sure that he had more clothes on the last time they saw each other. Since he was currently standing there in his boxers. The man in him couldn't help but look her up and down. "It's... red!" He took the bottle of San Pel from her and grinned still. He opened his arms for her. "You look beautiful!" She was always beautiful, but had really grown into her looks.

Everr let out a little laugh when he commented her hair and she stepped into the apartment as well as his open arms. She let her own arms slip around his shoulders as she leaned in and rested her head against his shoulder, letting her gaze sweep over his tattoos. "You're like a walking coloring book," she teased, pulling back to lift up one of his arms and look at it. "Jesus, Kalen. You have muscles now," she laughed a little bit and met his eyes, "You look good."

	He chuckled at her comment as he held her. She smelled really nice. She smelled like a girl. Big contrast to dirt and grass like they did when they were younger. He flexed a little bit for her and smiled. He shut the door behind and and took her hand. "C'mon in." He led her back through the kitchen. "How've you been, jetsetter?"

	Everr grinned followed him towards the kitchen, letting him take a hold of her hand. "I've been good," she said with a little nod of her head. "How have you been? Aside from getting drunk over girls and inflicting pain upon yourself with tiny ink filled needles," she teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Some, not so tiny." He smiled. "Great, for the most part. School's going okay. I've got a part time job that pay ridiculously well." When the pans were properly heated, he cracked a few eggs into it. "Bacon, pancakes and scrambled eggs sound good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Everr nodded her head with a smile as she moved to hop up onto the counter next to the stove so that she could talk to him while he cooked. She crossed her legs and let her hands grip the edge of the counter as she tipped her head to the side, "So tell me about the girl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kalen sighed, a far off look in his eye. "Her name... is Spencer. Long brown hair. Full lips, amazing body. Beautiful rounded hourglass figure. Half sleeve on one of her arms. Eyes you just... fall in love with." He pushed the eggs around in the pan in a mopey fasion. "She and I had a deal. I move in with her, we make a baby and it was gonna be awesome. But slowly... she just started to pull away. Haven't even kissed her."

	"...You were going to move in with her, and have a baby? And you haven't even kissed her?" Everr asked slowly, the tone in her voice clearly giving away the fact that she saw absolutely no logic in that scenario. "Kalen. You cannot be serious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeeaaaah." He said quietly. He was totally serious. "Spencer is Victoria's new boyfriend's niece-in-law. Something like that. Victoria kinda fixed us up on the basis that wanting a kid would be amazingly awesome, you know? She's beautiful. The baby would have been gorgeous. And really if she was that uncomfortable, she could have told me in the first place." He shrugged. "I just fell in love with her so fast. Poetry. Just... I don't know. My lease here is up in a few weeks, so I need to know if I'm at LEAST moving into her place. She has a house she's renting out."

	Everr reached over and snagged Kalen's chin with her hand so that she could turn his head in her direction, and she leaned in to meet his eyes. "That is the most bizarre thing I have ever heard in my entire life," she told him honestly. "And niece-in-law, is Victoria dating a fourty year old man now or something?"

	He sighed. Everyone thought he was insane and Everr, the one girl who always 'got him', was in agreement with them. "I know. I'm pulling off." He chuckled and shook his head. "Koty. He's like twenty-six...twenty-seven. Something like that." He smirked. "I hated the guy at first, but turns out he's pretty cool. Tattoo artist around her. Good fucking work."

	littleworlds 2009-05-20 09:08 am UTC (link)
	Everr met his eyes for a moment before she gently let go of his chin and moved her hand to muss his hair a little bit. "Is it weird seeing her? I think if I were you, I'd feel weird," she admitted softly, tipping her head to the side. "I'm surprised you two aren't together now that you're in the same town again."

Kalen sighed, pouring the pancake batter onto the electric griddle. "It was. At first it was. Because I was still so FUCKING in love with her." He sighed and shook his head. "And I thought that when she and I found each other again, it'd be magnets back together. Right where we left off. But she's changed so much. And she hasn't changed at all at the same time. Every once in a while, I have to catch myself from falling back on bad habits. She's not my girl anymore."

Everr nodded her head a little bit and let out a little sigh. Her heart went out to him, she knew how hard it had been for him to lose Victoria and how hard it had been when he wrote and Victoria never wrote back. Of course there were reasons for that, but still, at the time Kalen didn't know that. "Well, I will be your cuddle buddy and your drinking buddy and your date on date nights until Spencer realizes you are amazing, or until you meet someone else."

	That make Kalen smile. He really missed having Everr around. "Thank Heaven for you." He leaned over and kissed her, right between the eyebrows on her forehead. "And I for you." He stopped for a moment, grabbing a few plates. "I never asked. Are you seeing someone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
