Asshole lessons with Boreas.
Asshole lessons…
….with Boreas.
Somehow, somewhere, Notus had obviously lost his mind.
And yet, here he was, staring at Boreas’ door. He was five minutes early, and yet he felt like he was at least an hour late. The entire day had flown by in a crazy frenzy of rushing and mishaps. His landlord had shown up at seven (in the freaking morning) to show a couple the apartment – his apartment, even though he had no intention of moving out. Apparently there had been some sort of mix up with lease forms and paperwork, which meant that the landlord had simply knocked on the wrong damn door.
Then the sink broke and flooded the entire kitchen. So that meant another visit from the landlord, a plumber who couldn’t fix it, and another plumber who could.
After that, he had lunch with Katie from the bookstore. It started out as a very pleasant date, until Katie’s ex-boyfriend showed up. With two of his friends. Notus told her he’d call her in a couple days. He lied.
And then there was the meeting with the older gentleman who wanted to commission $20,000 worth of photos. Of his Yorkshire terrier.
Then the phone call telling him that the gallery he was supposed to hold a showing in had suddenly and unexpectedly shut down.
He got home around five, ate a quick dinner (which he burned, of course), and got ready to go. He tried on six outfits, none of which looked “asshole” enough, and eventually settled on something slightly dressy – dark jeans and a button up shirt. Assholes always dressed nicely, right?
Then it was out the door, onto the subway (which was delayed, of course), off at the wrong stop (because he was an idiot), up three blocks…
And so he found himself in a slight state of frustration, anger, and disarray as he knocked on his brother’s door.
Maybe asshole lessons weren’t such a bad idea, after all.
