with like, a little bow tie and a pompadour? Like,
I'm a cool cat, right

[creatio]

the coolest of cats.
you should put your hair in a pompadour.
do you have a letterman jacket?

[killertrack]

like, a high school football team letterman jacket? have you seen me, clary?

also i was kicked out of high school

the answer's no, basically

[creatio]

so you're more grease than glee.
how come every boy i know belongs in a leather jacket?

[killertrack]

I don't own a leather jacket either

I'm more of the loner that nobody speaks to

[creatio]

in high school i had like two friends.
so i get it.
you're still cool to me.

[killertrack]

you? the beautiful badass talented you? didn't have many friends?

now that sounds fake to me

[creatio]

( Baby, please. You're too good. )

honestly? i was a nerd.

[killertrack]

what, like, into video games and stuff? still think a hot nerd is cooler than what i was back then

i was that weird adopted kid with second-hand clothes and music on all the time. people would talk about me around me, thinking i wouldn't hear them or understand them.

not so different from now

[creatio]

worse.
anime.

i was a carrot-top with my head stuck in a manga.

( Baby ;; )

we would have been friends tho, i'm sure of it.

[killertrack]

i don't know, clary

i wasn't into mangas.....

[creatio]

that doesn't mean you can't be into them now.
i have a rec list. i can help you out.

[killertrack]

hm
i don't know if it'll be my thing, but i'd give it a try

only for you, clary

[creatio]

it's the thought that counts.
maybe i can hit you up with gravitation. it's about a rockstar and a novelist.
you're okay with yaoi?

[killertrack]

...what's yaoi?

[creatio]

it's a romantic genre of japanese manga.

( Clary, no. )

just like, between two guys.

[killertrack]

seriously, that'd what you would want me to *start* with? what about like, i don't know, dragon ball or something?

[creatio]

( She's cracking up. )

spoilsport.
but fine, i can lend you dragon ball z. maybe some naruto too. or detective conan. that's a good one.

[killertrack]

oh hey i've heard of naruto. do you have fullmetal alchemist? that's one people talked about when i was at school

never heard of detective conan. is it like conan the barbarian?

[creatio]

i do! and gundam wing.

detective conan is about a guy who gets turned into a child but he still has crimes to fight.

do you like normal comic books?

[killertrack]

i know nothing about them, honestly. Besides like,
the few movies I've seen

I've never been much of a reader.

[creatio]

it's all i ever did.
that and art.
my mom used to say i'd end up with a permanently curved neck because i was always bent over a book or my sketchpad. i think that's why she tried to get me into painting. so i'd stand up once in a while.

[killertrack]

I didn't have that much time to read, back then.
I wasn't very studious. Too busy being angry about the fact that I suddenly became an orphan, I guess? I don't know. I spent more time out of school and driving cars than I did the other way around.

But you're studying art here too, right? That's what you want to do.

[creatio]

i'm not.
i keep thinking about it? but i don't know, i got into the brooklyn academy of art back home and i was so excited.
and then people died and it just felt useless.

( There's something about Baby. She feels safe telling him these things. )

it's probably a good thing i never had access to a car. ;)

[killertrack]

okay, sure, so you gave it up, back home, because you had all of these things happening. But why not do it here? Pick it back up? It's your passion, you shouldn't let it go.
