Garage

[Adam could have stayed working on St. Monmouth and easily made more than enough money since Ronan is basically a bottomless well of it but there's something that's important to him about making his own way, establishing independence and a job goes a long way with that. So, he'd found the equivalent of an auto shop in R2 and while he'd had to expand his mechanical knowledge to a whole new slew of things it was a good job and he'd go home every day feeling satisfied.

So, either you're looking for Adam Parrish or you're looking to get something fixed. Either way, he'll half look up when you come in.]

What can I help you with?

Wildcard

[Sometimes he finds lunch out and about so feel free to run into him like that or hit me up with whatever. Message me at

poetanarchy if you want to discuss something.]

[During his last conversation with Adam, Kurt had braved the question of asking if his friend had gotten a job yet; it'd taken him longer than he'd liked, but he eventually found the shop in Region two.

In his case, he's definitely looking for Adam - no broken things on his end. He turns his head toward the voice, blinks a few times then flashes a broad grin.]

Well, hallo, Adam. Finding you in here was easier than I thought it would be.

[ In all honesty, there weren't a lot of people that worked at the shop. Most of the time Adam's by himself and the owner is off in the back office doing god knows what. Adam likes it well enough that way, though. He smiles when he hears Kurt, though, fully looking up before greeting him more personally. ]

Hey. There's not a lot of room to get lost really.

[Now that he knows there aren't many people working here, it will be far easier to find Adam the next time he comes in to drag him out for lunch.]

It's rather convenient, actually.

[Might as well get right to the point, then.] Do you have any lunch plans?

I like it. [It's something he hadn't really said about his old jobs but that he could say in full honesty about this one. Maybe, in general, he just liked being here, this planet more than he liked home.]

Not really. I usually just eat while I work. [Not because he had to or anything.]

And that's all that matters. [Because, you know, Adam is the one with a job. At least, that's what he's assuming his friend would like about it, since Kurt sort of misses his home.]

You work a lot, don't you? Taking some time for food is important, Adam. Will you come to lunch with me?

[ Adam gives a slight nod, before raising a brow at the two questions that came one right after another. It really isn't something he expects but he supposes it's about the time to eat and he's ahead in his work for the day as usual. ]

Sure. Now?

[An embarrassed flush creeps across his cheeks, one hand lifting to cup the nape of his neck, the other one absentmindedly gesturing at nothing in particular.]

Ja, if that works for you?

Yeah. That's fine.

[ Adam smiles at Kurt and then moves to clean up a few things in preparation of leaving. ]

Did you have a spot in mind?

Wunderbar.

[He grins in return, lowers the hand from his head and moves to lean against a nearby wall, rocking back on his heels with his arms behind his back.]

Not really, no. Is there anything in particular you'd like to have?

Well, what kind of food do you feel like eating?

[ That helps narrow it down. Most of the places around here out to pricey and so Adam's not particularly worried about what they choose (he's such a miser). ]

There's a good sandwich shop and then there's this noodle place... and then there's some other stranger places that I guess are more local.

Hmmm ... I'm not really picky?

[Kurt shrugs, cheeks flushing with embarrassment at both of their equally indecisive natures, but Adam mentions a few places and he perks slightly.]

What sort of noodles? Italian, Asian, or some sort of mix?

They have both. [ The thing is, Adam never has to make decisions with people like Gansey to be his best friend and Ronan typically knows what he wants as well and Adam well...

It's easy when he only thinks about himself but when there's someone else in the equation he worries about the correct options. ]

Wunderbar, let's go there! [He pushes off the wall, an enthusiastic grin splitting his features.] Unless, you'd rather have sandwiches?

[Thankfully, Kurt's not picky at all when it comes to food. He has preferences, sure, but when you have a black hole for a stomach, you can't be indecisive.]

No, noodles sounds good. [ Adam smiles because he really doesn't mind either and he nods towards the door of the shop before making his way out now that he's ready and they know where they're going.

The noodle shop isn't that far away and Adam starts leading Kurt there. ]

Perfect. [So, maybe he's somewhat overly excited about getting Adam to come to lunch with him, but he's been wanting to spend more time with his friends and what better way to do it than dragging them away from work for food?

Falling into step beside Adam, Kurt tucks his hands into the pockets of his jeans, head turning to face the other male.] How have you been?

[ Adam does the thing that Adam usually does, which is get lost in his thoughts rather easily. It's no reflection on Kurt that he zones out, his thoughts running through his issues at home and only seeming to speed up at the question that Kurt asked as he walked in auto-pilot to the noodle shop. ]

I've been okay, I guess. [ Adam remembers to answer out loud, and the half smile he turns the other's way probably isn't all that convincing. Adam's tired and overworked (by his own choice) and it shows pretty easily. ]

What about you?

[The hesitance is something that brings on another bout of concern, his dark brows knitting together and his teeth sinking into the side of his cheek. Most people usually answer right away, but the fact that Adam's distracted tells him plenty.]

Just okay? [Yeah, he's not all that convinced by the gesture, but he'll let Adam have it for the moment.]

I've been fine, [he offers, his own grin far more persuasive. It's not entirely a lie; Adam's struggling with his own problems right now and it wouldn't be fair for him to pile his own onto that.] ... would you like to talk about it?

[ The deflection didn't seem to work all that well and Adam lifted his shoulders in a shrug. The only time he's really talked about any of it was a literal breakdown that he barely recalls because he'd been so exhausted at the time. ]

There's really nothing to talk about. Life's complicated, what's new right?

[And that's all that he really needs to hear for him to back off; Adam obviously doesn't want to discuss it right now and Kurt isn't going to push him into it. Still, if he ever does decide to talk about it, he'll listen and offer advice, if necessary.]

Right, ja. Should there ever be something you do want to talk about, just know that I am here.

[ Adam gives him a slight smile and he does appreciate that, really. He doesn't say as much out loud though. ]

You're a good friend. [ He points toward the shop as they came upon it, moving to open the door for him. ]

[He returns the smile with one of his own, cheeks faintly flushing as he draws a hand up to fidget with the dark spikes at his nape.]

Thank you, Adam. [When the other male moves to open the door, Kurt dips his head in gratitude and steps inside, sparing a glance back over his shoulder.] I feel the same way about you.

[ Adam's not sure it's right that Kurt feels the same way. Adam's really never been the best at being a friend or anything like that. He's always looking out for himself first because he's always had to and that's not really the marker of a good friend. That's starting to change though, even if learning how is a slower process. ]

So, what's your favorite kind of noodles? [ He asks, instead of addressing what Kurt had said and then ending up getting into his issues on how he views himself. ]

[See, Kurt knows that having to look out for oneself first is important and while he doesn't do it as often as he should, he can understand why some people do. He won't ever judge Adam for worrying about himself because a good friend would support that decision and help in any way possible.]

I'm biased, I think. Spaetzle is probably my favorite. It's a soft egg noodle that's used in German dishes, usually cooked with butter, although some people use bacon grease.

Bacon grease huh... [ Sounds pretty good. ]

I don't know if they have that here.

[ He moves to a table in one of the corners. ]

Yep. Let me tell you, they're sinful. [He grins.]

I wouldn't expect them to. I'm also rather fond of Asian noodles, though.

[Kurt follows close behind him, moving to slide into a seat once Adam has decided on a table for them.]

garage, of course!!
