Cus I'm Broken(Dash&Scout)

[Bullseye]

It had been a few days since the basement situation and Bullseye had taken the kid home that next morning and went back to Brooklyn. He had been thinking the last few days in his jumbled state of mind, he did care about the kid but he just couldn't help but mistreat him in some way, shape or form. He didn't know why he had such an issue with it but it was just who he was. He was currently walking the streets of Queens blank in thought as he smoked his cigarette and held his other hand in his pants pocket casually. He had come down here in slight hopes of running into Dasher, though he didn't neccessarilly expect it either. He flicked his cigarette aside, ruffled his hair and glanced around at passersby as he allowed a sigh to escape his lips and he listened to the hollers of the Queens newsies, he had sold his papes hours ago. He tilted his head back glancing at the sky as he wondered where Dash could be.

[Scout]

Scout and Dasher were sitting in the pub, they were celebrating Scouts first check from the Coney Island Amusement Park. Scout sat at the bar, drink after drink this was the life. Scout had been best friends with Dasher for quite some time. Dash was quite to himself, and when the boy opened to people, they became a friend or more. In this case it was an ex relationship that just didn't work out. Thus they became best friends. "Dasher boy I's ain't felt this nice, in a while, this is awesome, I's never thought of comin' up north and having two jobs." Scout was from Texas, down in the south jobs were harder to come by. Scout finished his final drink as Dash finished his, Scout paid and the two boys walked out of Abes.

Walking the streets of Queens this evening was nice. Scout couldn't think of what the two boys should do, Dash never really had ideas but he'd give it a shot. "Dasher what ya'll wanna do now?" He asked his country accent apparent as he hiccuped a little looking around skimming the area.

[Dasher]

It had been quite some time, about a couple weeks now that Dasher hadn't seen Scout, he was quite surprised actually when scout came to the Queens Lodge house looking for him. When Scout asked him to go out and blow his first pay check, how could he refuse. The one boy that never treated Dasher like anything less of a good friend. Though they had a past thing, it was over now. The pub wasn't filled, it was still evening, barely getting dark at this point. Dash smiled thinking about Bullseye as he took his 5th cup of vodka for the night, he was doing himself in at this point. Dasher's mind was thinking about how Bullseye and him had that amazing over night experience, he was drunk and Scout seemed to be talking about the South again.

Dash giggled as he agreed it might have been harder for the boy to find work down in Texas. As he finished off his drink he stumbled a little. Longing to be held by Bullseye at this point he waited to hear his deep voice. Dasher staggered a little in step as Scout stopped him. "I's don't know Scout we's can..." Dash stopped mid sentence as he stumbled over to Bullseye that seemed to be on the streets of Queens. "Bullseye You's come to see meh?" He spoke excited as he asked with wide eyed, he must have smelled like liquor, and his walk didn't help to prove he was drinking.

[Bullseye]

Bullseye was pulled out of his daze when he heard the familiar voice and he looked down to see Dasher. He stopped mid-step and looked at the boy, he reeked of booze and he was just abit unstable in standing,"Maybeh I did... but what are you's doin drunk off yer ass like dis witout meh huh? You's aint flirtin wit dat waiter again are ya?" he said as he raised an eyebrow at him and when he noticed Dasher had not been alone, his eyes glanced to the other boy before looking back at Dasher,"Who's dat? Yer body guard or somethin? Did you tell someone what happened?" he asked as he growled abit and lit another cigarette, Dasher better have been wise and kept his mouth shut.

[Scout]

Scout was listening to Dasher as he stopped talking it wasn't like Scout was really paying attention he was skimming the area when he looked back to face Dash the boy had been gone. Scout shook his head as he smiled to himself. Maybe Dash had made a special friend. Scout wouldn't ask unless it really puzzled his mind. Scout out his hands through his hair as he walked up to Bullseye catching the small conversation. Scout smirked and shook his head. That boy was Bullseye, he was a Brooklyn Newsie, he always was paying darts when he came to bars in Hattan.

Body guard that was funny. "Nope I's ain't his Body guard no I's aint, he's my friend." Scout spoke with his southern drawl. He didn't want Dash to get into conflict. Dash was small and fragile, his black eye was yellowish almost healed but he didn't need any more conflict. "I's Scout." He said as he introduced himself walking a few steps away. He started to talk to one of the guys that worked at the candy shop, Scout figure it was best for Dash and the boy to talk first.

[Dasher]

Dash didn't really think of himself as too drunk but no one that drank ever did. When bullseye called him on his state he looked down and bit his bottom lip. ""I's drunk cause I's can't help it silly." Dash said as he giggled to himself hugging Bullseye looking up at him. Then when he asked about the waiter Dash shook it off. "I's told you I's don't need no other right?" He spoke as he listened to Scout introduce himself then excuse himself. Dasher didn't need a body guard as continued to hug Bullseye. "Nope! No I's didn't tell no one nothing, Honest I's didn't Scout he's my friend." Dash said with a hiccup as he stumbled trying to stay on his feet holding on to Bullseye for ballance.

[Bullseye]

Bullseye looked over at the other boy as he spoke and when he stepped away he looked down as Dash had wrapped his arms around him. Bullseye cocked his head abit and gently pulled Dasher's arms from around him,"You's drunk and you's bein too lovey in public...and since when do you have friends las you's told meh ya didnt have much," he said as he grabbed Dasher under one of his armpits and helped him to stay on his feet. Bullseye glanced over at Dasher's friend and a thought occurred in his mind but he pushed it away for now, he would come back to that thought shortly. He looked down at Dasher,"Les get ya somewhere where ya can sit down, tell yer friend ta come too," he said as he let go of Dasher and pushed him toward Scout as he lit another cigarette and began taking a few drags off of it as he watched the two boys now for a moment, he could definately have abit more fun than usual with the pair of them.

[Scout]

"So its pretty fun, just pressing buttons and getting to hear all the little ones screaming their head off excited." Scout explained to the shop owner, Scout remember the man, he was a regular, he bought papes for all his workers always help Scout when he was hurting. Scout smiled as the man was from the south as well. When ever he talked Scout felt at home. The way Scout saw things was New York was like a summer camp away from home, someday he'd return to the farm, always sharing stories with Jack about horses and what a real cowboy was kept them in good spirts, and friendship.

Scout let the man finish closing as he walked Back to Dash and Bullseye, Bullseye held Dash up as he wanted to speak. "He's had a friend since I got here ya'll now lets go outa here." Scout said as he walked into a park, there was an end to the park where it was just quite and peaceful they could all talk get to know one another there scout thought as he lead the way.

[Dasher]

Dash felt Bullseye grip him under his armpit he wasn't quite sure why he felt so lovey, but he did Dash looked up at Bullseye and whispered. "I's lovey cause you care thats why." Dasher said as he was really drunk at this point, he looked at Bullseye ,come now he was boring at times but this didn't mean he had no friends. As scout answered before Dasher could say anything. Dash felt himself being pushed as Scout lead the way Dash slowed down waiting for Bullseye as he took his hand. "I's not drunk, I's just a little bit nice." Dasher tried to assure Bullseye as he staggered back and forth walking on his tippy toes into the park. It was sort of dark as he felt the urge to sit. As Scout set the spot Dasher said down on his knees and fell back on his ass looking up as he laughed at himself now squinting a little.

[Bullseye]

Bullseye looked down at his hand in Dasher's and for a minute he pulled it away, lit yet another cigarette and shoved his hands in his pocket, "C'mon wit dat gay shit in public," he said as they approached the park and when they got to a part that was toward the back and not very noticable, he sat down with one leg straight out and the other bent up to his chest and he rested his elbow on his knee taking a long drag before looking between the two boys,"So fer friends you's two seem quite close...whats da deal wit dat?" he asked being casual in his conversation at the moment, he needeto know more about this Scout kid before progressing in his plans.

[Scout]

Scout took off his jacket setting it down as he sat Indian style. His eye glanced at Dasher as he fell back the young boy actually happy and energetic made him smile. It was cute to see him laugh at himself Scout thought as he watched Bullsye light another cigarette. Didn't that boy know that tobacco was going to end him? Scout listened as he spoke, he wondered if it was right to answer, Dash seemed quite lovey to Bullseye and it wasn't right to make someone jealous. Scout wondered why he needed to know but with a half smile he answered. "Well now, I's dated him a year or so back, we's complete opposites, he boy is shy, and don't open up much." Scout said as he traced his arm looking down for a moment. "We's just good friends not, he opened more just being friends." Scout explained as he nodded agreeing with himself at this point.

[Dasher]

When Bullseye asked about Scout and Dash's past Dash wiped the grin off his face. He looked to Bullseye and then to Scout whom was explaining the past. The three boys sat in a triangle at this point. Dasher pulled himself back up as he got on his knees and tried to keep himself at a good balance. "Yup we's was, and now just friends I's got someone else to care about meh." Dasher mumbled as he watched Bullseye smoke through another cigarette. "Bulleye I's don't like you's smokin' so much, you's going to kill yaself with all that toxin." Dasher said crawling over taking the cigarette from Bullseye's mouth as he spat on his hand putting the cigarette out in the spit. Dash smiled as he hiccuped and sat back down, he wasn't quite sure if Bullseye was going to get mad at him caring but something must have been on his mind if he was smoking like a chimney.

[Bullseye]

This boy did not just put out his cigarette, oh he was asking for it. Bullseye glared at Dasher and pulled out another cigarette lighting it and taking a long drag,"Dont you eveh tell meh what ta do, I'll do as I please," he growled as he looked between the two boy's he bit his bottom lip for a moment in thought as he pointed to Dasher,"So you's two used ta date huh? I see...." he said still in his own thoughts. He stood for a moment now, dragging his cigarette until it was finished and he flicked it aside and walked over behind Dasher and placed his hand on the back of the boy's neck,"I's bet ya two were jus' darling togedda," he mused maliciously.

[Scout]

Right when Scout noticed Dash take away the cigarette he skimmed his bottom lip with his front teeth. Scout knew it wasn't a good idea. But Dash was drunk after all maybe the other boy would take it into consideration. This is why Scout wasn't exactly surprised when the boy scowled and told Dash not to tell him what to do, yet Dash was just caring. scout would do the same to Baby. "Together that is correct, it wasn't that serious ya here?" Scout explained as he exhaled hard before he too a blade of grass putting it between his lips chewing a little as he watch Bullseye touch Dasher. Scout wasn't going to answer all the questions Dasher had a mouth. Scout didn't want to mess up anything between Bullseye he started to figure out slowly that Dash must have liked the boy, and the older boy was just not down with public affection. Scout chewed on the grass a little more waiting Dasher's reply.

[Dasher]

When Bullseye reacted angrily Dasher looked down into his lap and twiddled his thumbs "Sorry.." He spoke a bit sad. After all he was just trying to take care of, show Bullseye some love. When Scout spoke answering the question Dasher nodded as he looked back up at Bullseye. "It was kiddy love baby." Dasher said as he covered his mouth realizing his pet name. Now feeling Bullseye's hand on his neck. Dasher got chills, he always did when Bullseye was quite, or he wasn't sure if something was on his mind or just when the boy was behind him. Bullseye was getting it wrong. "No it wasn't darlin' it was something jumped into that backfired. You's my darlin'" Dasher explained as he faintly smiled he reached back putting his hand over Bullseyes closing his eyes.
