Who: Mike O'Hare & Jimmy Wise
What: In the garage
When: Thursday afternoone
Where: The Garage
Rating: TBD likely high
Status: Closed / Incomplete

Mike loved the gang, always had. They were his family, and it had been part of his life for as long as he could remember. Still the man savored the quiet moments as well; the times when he had the garage all to himself. The time when he could just work on his car, drink a few cold beers, and listen to music. Most of the boys were off for the day, prepping for the race coming up tomorrow night. So with the place cleared out O'Hare took full advantage of the moment and got to work under the hood of his race car. For nearly an hour he worked and checked every inch of Beast; replacing or fixing the handful of things that he knew needed handling. At last when they heavier tasks were ticked off the list the man sat inside the vehicle, just closing his eyes for a moment and slowly sipping on his beer.

Life had gotten complicated of late thanks to the growing tension between the gangs, but for the most part Rigs had managed to steer clear of that mess. No longer a captain, he was free to take it easy. Oh he still did a few jobs, still ran a small crew of his own from time to time, but for the most part Mike just helped out around the shop, or earned cash by racing. With the wedding coming up he had been saving as much as he could; wanting to have a sweet nest egg already there for when he and Jimmy tied the knot. Just thinking about her, picturing her smile and sporting his ring, had a grin tugging at his lips. There was always more wedding plans that needed to be discussed, but honestly all he cared about was that she had said yes.

A car that wasn't familiar pulled up and around the back of the garage, where most of the hot cars were kept. After a few moments Jimmy exited from the office into the garage, having entered through the back and smiled, seeing Mike relaxing in his ride. Quietly she snuck around and the side of the car and slowly opened the door hoping his eyes would stay closer just a little longer. Carefully she slid into the passenger seat of his car and then let the door close at normal volume.

She tilted her dark mop of hair at him, with a smile. "Sleeping on the job?" She asked. Jimmy wore a white men's polo under her leather jacket. She wore no green and while she hadn't been wearing her cut when she arrive, she'd picked it up from where she'd left it in the office- couldn't be wearing it when caught in a hot vehicle after all, so it now hung from her shoulders over her jacket. She wore her binder so her chest appeared flat and to the casual passer by, they were just two dudes hanging out in a car.

The man was SSR through and through, yet here and now Mike wasn't wearing his own cut at all. O'Hare never bothered to wear it while he was working in the garage, not when he ran the risk of getting grease all over it. Instead Rigs just wore his causal clothing, and left his own leather jacket and cut hanging up in the office. It wasn't like anyone around would be stupid enough to take it; not when that was a sure fire way of getting the shit beat of em. When he heard the passenger side car door suddenly close Rigs sat up with a start; hand moving inhumanly fast and brandishing the knife he wore on his belt. When he spotted her though a soft sigh fell from O'Hares lips, and with a sheepish, apologetic, smile he resheathed the blade. "Sorry, babe."

Ever since the car bomb incident Mike had been a bit jumpy. Even sleeping with a fully loaded shotgun resting within reach beside his bed. War had a way of straining the nerves a bit, and losing limbs and an eye...well even someone usually cool under pressure like him could still be a tad on edge when startled. "I was just chilling for a bit. Finished tuning up my baby, and figured catching a little shut eye would be good." Granted he rarely slept much these days, at least not with the pain meds to help at night. So when the rare moment to actually relax came around he did his best to take it. "Anyways, what are you doing here? Thought you'd be out on the job for another hour or two?"

Jimmy didn't react to his knife, it wasn't the first time it had happened, it wouldn't be the last. Instead she reached up and brushed her fingers gently through his hair. "I did to." She said, with a small giggle. "Rich SOB's actually valeted their car when they got to the restaurant. I mean I could tell this mark was stupid by the fact he used my service to pick up some girl instead of his own car- but it was too easy. So, I slipped Trent some credits to 'lose' the data card and..." She held up the temporary card that was programed for valets to be able to drive card of their owners. "So much easier when you don't have to hack the system."

With a chuckle Rigs shook his head; still amazed at just how stupid marks really could be in this day and age. Oh boosting cars was fun, as was breaking and entering to steal shit from people, but really Mike's real calling had always been in racing. However the man had a healthy respect for the talent it took to boost like Jimmy, and when she spoke his smile just grew. "Nice job. Have you lifted the registration yet so we can pull the address and have some of the boys go rob the owner's home?" It was a low blow to be sure; stealing a car, and then robbing their residence too, but damn if it wasn't profitable. As he fingers moved through his hair Mike's body relaxed at last, the last trace of tension melting away as he just gazed over at her.

"Just got back in, so no... not yet." She said, shaking her head. Jimmy tucked the card back into her pocket and then climbed over the center console of the car and onto Mikes lap, something she'd gotten quite skilled at doing. With her back against the door she laid her head on his shoulder with a sigh. "Also got lucky he lives in the grey... this war has meant most of the big fish are off limits. I mean thank god I can still taxi wherever- since that's legit, but also means I gotta be careful picking a mark." The few years there'd been a treaty had been nice, The Wire had allowed them to lift in their territory so long as it wasn't one of their marks. But since Valentines day, pickin's were slim.

Jimmy gave Mike a brief but loving kiss, "You ready for the race?"

There was no rush to pass the intel on; especially since no one else would be around for a bit. So when Jimmy climbed over into his lap Mike just pushed the thought aside. With a single hand wrapped around her waist he listened when she spoke up again. The war was bad for business to be sure, but there was still profit to be made with some careful planning. "That's a good break for us. Would've sucked if the prick lived in a different zone." The kiss was a surprise, but not an unpleasant one, and he returned it with one all his own for a moment.

"Think she's about as ready as she can be. Just wanted to tinker a bit more with the fuel lines, and maybe boost the engine output a hair more. Still all things considered, Beast is ready to race." The car was in top shape for sure; and his ride was one of the fastest out there. Oh a few others, like Jimmy's could rival it, yet not many others even stood a chance. Not after all the work, time, and credits Mike had poured in to making Beast...well a beast. The car was worth a small fortune; imported parts, custom built parts, hell even the software had been special ordered and cost a ton. However all that money he invested in his ride had long since been returned tenfold thanks to the races he won. "She's ready, but me...still working out the kinks. My legs been bugging me a bit since the last physical rehab session. Doc says I pulled something when I was working the weights. But it ain't anything to worry about, babe."

	"Oh Rigs..." She said with a frown, already moving to get off his lap, she didn't want to cause him more pain. "You should have told me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That frown of hers melted his smile, and replaced it with a frown all his own. Yet before she could get off his lap he gently pulled her back down. "You're fine, babe. Only hurts when I extend my leg, so sitting here is all good." Granted the couple of beers had helped with the pain too, along with his pain killers, so if it came down to being comfortable or having her there in his lap...well Rigs wanted her. With a warm chuckle he teasingly winked at her, flashing a soft smile again. "But if you keep wiggling those hips of yours other things might start to cramp up."

She smiled softly as she nestled back in his lap, pleased she wasn't hurting him. "Rigs!" She nudged him playfully. "You're horrible." Her cheeks flushed slightly, while they'd been intimate for more than a few months, Jimmy still found herself with minor insecurities. She knew she didn't carry herself like a normal girl and it was strange sometimes for her when realization hit that he didn't care.

"Oh, I should warn you." Jimmy laughed, remembering one of the reasons she'd sought him out- besides the fact that she just liked to be with him. "My mom sent you a file full of 'picks' that she's expecting you, us... to go through. And my Dad wants to schedule suit fittings for you and your boys... I think Mama Mary is pressuring him." She snapped her fingers. "Oh yea, they want a date too." Jimmy sighed and put her head back on his shoulder, her fingers playing with the front of his t-shirt. "I want you to remember that you did this." She chuckled.

Just seeing that blush on her cheeks always brightened his smile, and when she nudged him Mike put on an unconvincing pout. "Careful, babe. I'm delicate." No Jimmy wasn't like the other girls at all, but Rigs didn't give a shit. She was his girl; the one he loved and the one he had fallen for. If the boys couldn't see what a fucking amazing woman she was then they were clearly blind as hell. After all he had always seen her. Had always seen just how beautiful Jimmy was, and was still in awe that she actually wanted to be with him.

That laugh of hers drew his focus back to the present, and with a little nod he listened to the list of things that needed to be done. "Alright. Well we can got through that file tonight after dinner, and I'll take your dad out Sunday after mass to handle the fitting." When she mentioned the date Mike went quiet for a moment, honestly considering it before simply shrugging. "Next month to early? I mean, if you had a specific date in mind I'm good with it, babe." If it weren't for the family obligations O'Hare would've just suggested that the got hitched that weekend after he proposed. But with so many friends and family wanting to be a part of it all...well he couldn't deny her, or them, the big wedding.

"Hey you said yes, so I'm thinking half of this is on you too, Jimmy."

"Considering tomorrow's the first... I'm assuming you mean July?" She arched a brow at him. "I've got no date in mind. I mean would be good to avoid any birthdays or major holidays, but otherwise... Maybe pick a weekend day?" Jimmy knew the day would be special, and it would be a day they celebrated every year. But she'd never dreamed she'd ever get married, so the whole thing still felt a bit like a dream. And doing it soon felt scary, but waiting seemed even scarier as it meant he might figure out he was making a mistake. And then there was the pressure from some of the Old Ladies to step down as a Rat and support her man once they tied the knot.

The whole thing just felt overwhelming a bit. But she tried not to let Mike see that. She knew he had enough to worry about- though she was never really good at hiding things from him.

"Or maybe the 30th? I don't think there's any birthdays or anything on that day and I think it's a Saturday too." Jimmy looked at him expectedly.

"Tomorrow's the first? Shit, how'd I not know that?" With a laugh Rigs scratched his head, having genuinely lost track of what day it was. Between work, prepping for the race, and rehab his week had been a blur. Still as he considered her suggestion Mike nodded in agreement once more. "Honestly, babe...I really don't care about most of this stuff. I mean, I'm all for making the family happy with this big wedding event, and if it makes you happy too then I'm all on board. But seriously, I would've just gone straight to the courthouse with you that very day I proposed and gotten hitched there and then."

He knew she was a bit freaked about it all; and Rigs wanted to do his best to put her mind at ease. None of the pressure about her stepping down came from him, and between O'Hare and AJ...well no one in the gang would bat an eye or say a fucking word about it either. Not if they wanted to avoid a trip the the hospital. Mike cared about her, and if she wanted to stay a Rat then he'd support her completely.

"The 30th sounds good to me, babe. That'll be enough time to get everything ready, and in a month you and me will be married. Gonna be so fucking sweet, carrying you over the threshold and letting the world know that you are my wife, Jimmy."

"I would totally marry you right now... but you know we would never hear the end of it." It was more than just a tradition or something the family expected. It was expected as a member of the SSR family meant more than anything and something like a wedding was a sacred occasion. Sure, there was the occasional Rat who'd done a quickie wedding on a drunken night when they were are an away race in another city, but for someone like Mike or Jimmy alone, each connected to Murphy's in their own right. If it were just one of them it would be a mess, but the fact they were marrying each other with those connections- they really didn't have a choice.

So while they made light about the scolding they would get, consequences could actually be a lot harsher... just no one was gonna say it. "What are the odds you think I can convince Ma to let me wear a white suit?" She asked with a grin, oh she knew the answer but had to make light of it or the nerves would overwhelm her.

"And speaking of 'thresholds', how's Brisket doing?" Since their engagement Jimmy had been sort of only seen Mike at work and the Murphy's as her mother had insisted they 'behave' before their wedding. How it wasn't right she was always over at his place when they weren't married. Granted before the engagement she just chose to ignore it. It was honestly ridiculous. "It's been like a week since I've been over to see her. She still getting along with Mutt?"

A look of longing, and genuine happiness, flashed across his face when she spoke. Just hearing her say that she'd marry him right now sent his heart a flutter. "Yeah well, already wearing the rings so that's good enough till the big day, babe." The politics of the gang weren't lost on him at all; especially since Rigs had been adopted into the ruling family...which made him something of royalty-adjacent. He never gave a shit about that stuff, but if it made Mama Murphy happy, it was worth going through with the whole event.

When she asked about the white suit Rigs didn't laugh or tease her at all. If anything the man considered it earnestly before finally offering a shrug. "Think we should do matching white suits? The cuts would look a bit weird, but if that's what you want I can talk to Mama Murphy about it. Figure my standing with her is golden, even more so then normal, so there's a chance I could talk her into it." Mike wasn't kidding; about the suits, or his standing with his adoptive mother. He'd always been a favorite son in her eyes, and lately he'd been piling up the brownie points to with all the wedding stuff.

"Brisket and Mutt are doing good. Got some of the RT's taking care of em while I'm working, and the probies have been handling the food runs too." Not having Jimmy around had been taking a little toll; not just on the dogs, but on him too. Mike had gotten used to Jimmy sharing his bed, and the lack of sex of late had left him a tad cranky with the boys. "Mutt and her are getting along. Though she keeps taking his toys and hiding em around the place. Figure I'll find a large pile of squeaky toys under the couch when I get home."

"You may be able to talk to Mama Murphy, but it's my Ma I'm more worried about." Her parents had tried to keep separate from the life, but thanks to being related to the Murphy's and her own daughter joining they kind of didn't have a lot of choice. Her mother had also always pushed for her to be more 'girlie', and she could just imagine the guilt trip she'd get if she didn't wear a dress. "I might be able to get away with pants for the reception." She mused.

Jimmy giggled. "I miss the kids." She leaned in close to his ear. "I've missed you too..." Then an idea hit her. "Maybe," she leaned back a bit as she casually shared, "When I come over to dinner tonight, I can 'accidentally' fall asleep going over wedding plans." She arched a brow playfully. "Oops."

His laughter rang out when she mentioned her mom and with a playful wink Mike's grin grew again. "Babe you know I could your mom into wearing a suit too if I tried. That woman fucking loves me, and can't resist the Rigs Charm." Okay so both knew that her mom would never be caught dead in a suit, but O'Hare really did have a way with pretty much all the matriarchs around. Whether it was because they all viewed him as being that baby bird that needed mothering; since his own mom had died when he was born, or just part of his innate charm, Mike had always managed to get away with far more shit that even AJ or anyone else for that matter. "Can always tell her that if you have to wear a dress then I'll be wearing one too...and no one want's to see me in a strapless number."

Just having her whisper into his ear; the fell of her breath against his skin, and the words suggestion too, drew out a soft whimper from the man...and Jimmy could feel how his body responded to that desire as he grew hard beneath her. "Fuck yes, babe. I'll take the heat if Mama get's pissed...missed you so much this last week, Jimmy."

She laughed at his suggestion. "I don't want to know what you boys have planned for your bachelor party." Jimmy teased him before kissing him deeply. "What else do you have to do here?" She asked, as she moved back into the passenger seat and opened the door. "I can leave a note for someone to take care of the car tomorrow and grab your cut and we can go whenever you're finished..."

Honestly with everything going on Rigs hadn't even stopped to consider his bachelor party at all. AJ was his best man, and in charge of the party, so Mike had no clue what his brother was planning. "Got no clue what AJ's going do, but I'm sure I will probably end up drunk off my ass if he and the boys get their way." Had it been anyone else's bachelor party...well shit could get crazy as hell, but since Jimmy was family too, and part of the gang, Mike didn't have to worry about the Rat Trap's showing up to 'surprise' him with something wild.

That kiss was met with one all his own, and when she pulled away and spoke up once more Rigs found himself quickly trying to run down the mental checklist. "Grab the cut and leave a note, babe. I'll clean up the tools and be ready to roll in a minute or two."

And about ten minutes after that they were at Mike's house. "How about we make this a little fun?" Jimmy asked as they entered the house. The sound of tiny clicks could be heard on the floor as a pair of fuzzballs rushed into the room. "Oh hey my little meatloafs." She crouched down for snuggles and puppy kisses from the two animals. "I bet you guys wanna go outside don't you?" She asked, nuzzling Brisket. "Come on." As she moved to the back door to let out the pups into the small yard she looked back at Mike. "Anyhow, how about we make a game of the wedding stuff. So for each choice we pick one and don't tell the other. Then if we picked the same choice we take a drink, and if we picked different... whoever ends up winning, the other has to take off an article of clothing."

Those dogs weren't the only ones excited to have her home again, but for the present Rigs just grinned as he watched her interact with the dogs. At last when the pups were free to play in the back yard Mike glanced over at her from the kitchen; fishing out the case of beer as he listened to her suggestion. Nothing about wedding planning sounded fun, but he appreciated that she was trying to make it entertaining though. Still when she suggested the game O'Hare already knew he was going to lose...since he'd just agree to whatever Jimmy wanted to go with. "That's does sound interesting, babe. But why don't I just strip naked now, and let you decide on everything you want. I'll back you up with the Mamas, so you'll get your way, and we can start drinking while we order a pizza and wait for the delivery?"
