The young musician wrapped up his day of busking with his own song that he wrote ‘Ignorance’ that he wrote after a number of things; his dad leaving his mum, his mum’s death, his break up with his ex that cheated on him...just a whole mess of shit had led to him writing the song.
“I’m too far gone
It’s all over now
And you can’t bring me down.
Love is won over by ignorance
Do not get won over by ignorance
These pills were meant to hurt you
For today and ever more
If fools were meant to --- you
Then why do fools fall in love?”
As Adam performed a number of people passed by and put some change into his guitar case, a couple even put more than just petty change and give him some notes. Some even stayed to listening through the whole song. He enjoyed this. He loved it. Adam could just stay out all day, performing in Town Square to the many ears that walked by. It gave him a buzz, he received money and hell- he sometimes even picked up a few girls from doing it.
When he finished he received a few claps (after which he thanked for), ‘aw wow that was amazing’ comments and chatted with a few people- before, soon, people went back to their ever y day lives and so did he. He counted the cash he’d managed to earn and pocketed it before packing his beautiful guitar away back into her little snug home which was his guitar case.

Mack didn't feel like going home right away after classes ended. He didn't know where else to go but the town square. It seemed like a good place to go. He didn't think he was going to find someone playing guitar there. He stood away from the surprisingly decent crowd and listened to the boy play. He looked about Mack's age... he played good. Mack listened closely and didn't think he had heard the song before. It didn't take long to realize it was an original song. Mack thought the lyrics were actually pretty cool, the rhythm went well with it as well.
When the song ended and the dude started to pack up his stuff, Mack pulled out his wallet and took a twenty dollar bill from it and held it up for the dude. He had enough to spare, and he liked the song. Fair trade, he thought. "Nice song, man. I liked the riff. And the lyrics are tight."
[/b] Mack told him with a rare smile. Normally only Alex got true smiles. The dude should feel privileged really. "Did you write the lyrics and chords by yourself"[/b] [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color] Outfit:Clicky!///Tagged:---Notes:--- [/font][/size] |

When Adam finished packing up his guitar, another guy’s voice complimenting his music, Adam stood, lifting his guitar case with him and looked at the brown eyed guy in front of him “Cheers mate. Yeah, I wrote the lyrics and chords myself once when I was drunk and in a mood” He chuckled lightly and it was only then did he notice the young man held out a twenty for him. Whoa. A twenty? Five was quite common, ten sure no and again but a twenty? That was rare. Very rare.
The last time he’d been given almost been given a twenty was by mistake and before that it was by a lonely middle aged woman that wanted company…and a little more than company and feeling bad, Adam didn’t accept the money and kept her company but didn’t give her ’more’ because she kinda scared him a little. Y’know, like one of those girls that’d cling onto you and never want to let go kind of needy woman, plus she was like way more than twice his age and not really the sexiest of women. So…yeah…no.
Adam looked at the guy closer then. Noting he looked roughly around the same age as himself but seeing as he wore Alderres Military school’s uniform (of which he pulled off) it suggested that he was maybe a but younger than himself. Dark hair, deep brown eyes, a few inches taller than him. He had an air of confidence about him and he was offering Adam a twenty. He seemed pretty cool.
The young lad almost didn’t want to accept but instead nodded at the twenty and went with asking “You sure man?” he raised an eyebrow and the corner of his lips pulled up into and unsure grin.

Mack still was impressed when he told him he wrote the song and chords by himself. Mack messed around with a lot of different lyrics and chords, but he had yet to find one he truly liked. No one knew about him even writing besides Alex. He wasn't planning on telling anyone either. He didn't want anyone to know and be able to laugh at him. "We should jam sometime. My boyfriend and I both play. We have an apartment not far from here. You should come over sometime. Alex is an awesome cook. I'm sure he'd be willing to whip something up."
[/b] Mack offered with another smile. He loved playing guitar with more people. It was his passion. When he wouldn't take the twenty, Mack rolled his eyes. Like he would offer the dude a twenty if he didn't want him to have it. "I liked the song, dude. Now take it."[/b] He told the guy with a slight laugh, but had a serious tone to it. He wasn't joking around. He put his one hand in his front pocket of the school uniform and the other he held out. "I'm Mackenzie. But everyone calls me Mack."[/b] [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color] Outfit:Clicky!///Tagged:---Notes:--- [/font][/size] |

When the guy suggested Adam should go around to his apartment and jam sometime with him and his boyfriend some probably would be all suspicious, cautious and hesitant. Adam? He grew up around artists of all kinds and he knew an invitation from a fellow musician when he heard one and he loved chilling and jamming with artists…and food? The guy mentioned food? Adam was so in. He fucking loved food- it was definitely one way to win Adam Lee Maddox over “That sounds sweet. I’d so be up for that. Anytime.”
The nephilim laughed “Alright then, if you insist” clearly he was having a lucky day. He took the twenty from the guy, shifting the strap of his guitar case onto his shoulder and put the twenty in his pocket with the rest of the money he had earned today. “Thanks man. I’m glad you like the song enough to give me a twenty- and I really appreciate the money.” He thanked.
Adam took Mack’s hand with a firm grasp and shook it “Adam Lee Maddox. Adam, Spanky- don’t ask why because I don’t have a fucking clue-” he chuckled. “Madders, Maddox. Whatever, I’m cool.
It’s nice too meet you Mack.” He smiled.

Mack thought it was a guy thing, but offering food always seemed to catch people's attention when he offered them something. Then again, Mack couldn't really say anything because if anyone mentioned food around him he would totally want to go anywhere they wanted. It just worked out that Mack had the best cook in Alderres as a boyfriend. He couldn't get enough of Alex's food. "Awesome. I'll talk to Alex and figure out a time that's good for him. It'd probably be in the evening since Alex works and I have classes. Is there a way I can call you or whatever?"
[/b] Mack asked as he finished around his own pockets for his cell phone. He rolled his eyes again at the money comment. He didn't have endless money... but he had a lot. Okay. He sort of had a credit card that didn't run out on him, but that wasn't the point. 'Don't mention it, man."[/b] Mack told him with a laugh. Adam, was his name, seemed like a cool guy and definitely someone Mack was going to get along with. If not for the music, just his personality. It seemed laid back and fun. "Definitely Spanky then. That's the best name."[/b] Mack teased him before putting both hands in his front pockets. [/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote][/color] Outfit:Clicky!///Tagged:---Notes:--- [/font][/size] |

He rubbed the back of his neck “About that. I don’t actually have my own phone.” He laughed.
“But I could give you my apartment building’s number. Just ring my apartment’s number and it should patch you through to me.” He answered with a slight slow nod.
It was clear by the way Mack rolled his eyes and seemed to have the look in his eyes that suggested he didn’t value money as much- probably because he always had enough in his life. Mack pretty much shrugged giving Adam a twenty off as if it were nothing which kinda supported Adam’s thoughts on the guy.
Adam laughed when Mack seemed to settle on the nickname he had received a few years ago by his friends that didn’t live in Alderford- his brothers really because that’s how he felt towards them. Fuck knows how and why he had been given the nickname ‘Spanky’, none of them could even remember anymore but it still stuck. "Yeah I agree. You definitely know you're in for a good time with a guy with a nickname like Spanky" He smirked before running his hand through his hair.
"So, have you and your boyfriends lived here in Alderres for very long?" Adam asked.
