It wasn't often that Daniel 'Danny' Sumner found himself in Oldaker Avenue, in fact, he tended to avoid it when he could. But his sister lived in the area, and so did Mina's parents, and the former was actually the reason why he was here. He had gotten a text from June in the Sumner sibling chat, informing them that she was running late getting home due a freak accident on the road (she was not involved), but that a friend was already on their way to her place, and if it was possible if any one could just unlock the door and discreetly hover around until they got there. Danny didn't think anything of who this 'friend' might just be, and being the eldest, simply agreed because their younger siblings responses were hovering and disappearing - meaning that they were looking for excuses.
Now that he found himself driving his beaten up 90's Cherokee through the neighborhood, Danny was beginning tot think that his siblings hesitation was warranted and it reminded Danny exactly why he didn't care coming to Oldaker in the first place. Irreguardless though, he muscled through his thoughts. It's not like he would run into the Cohens, or worse, the fucking Parks, since June did not live anywhere near them. Yet, Oldaker always felt like a bubble within itself, a rich utopia, and the houses and cars simply reminded him of that. Parking his jeep now on the street, he got out and headed towawrds June's door, already pulling out his emergency set of keys.
At the door, he unlocked it, and apparently just in time given he heard the arrival of another car. The engine cut off behind him, making it reasonable to believe that the man had beaten June's friend by mere minutes. With the door taken care of, Danny turned around and started walking the pathway back to the street when he stopped. Green eyes caught sight of the person getting out of the car now, and it was a guy. A skinny ass guy, "What the..." Okay, so, girls were allowed to have guy friends. His sister was certainly allowed to have guy friends, and yet, he didn't know this person. "Can I help you?" Danny asked now, stopping dead in his tracks like some hulking animal.
The right thing and the easy thing are never the same.
aron was surprised to hear that June invited him over. The two started bonding over more that just tattoos - it seemed as if the two were slowly becoming friends. He dressed up a bit, not wanting to show up in sweat pants and a hoodie - they weren't at that stage in their friendship yet.
He had taught in the morning, having the afternoon off on that particular January afternoon. Aaron spent the majority of his time at home, marking music theory exams he had given the day before. Giving grades was his least favorite part of being a teacher, but it all had to be done. He checked his smart watch and seeing that it was almost time to leave, he closed up his file and placed it up high so the cats wouldn't get to it. The man headed towards the front door of the flat, putting on his shoes and throwing aA jacket over his shoulders before heading out the door towards his car.
Aaron had saved June's address in the contacts of his phone, pressing on the text as it flipped over to the Maps application, giving him directions on how to drive there. With the press of a button, the engine of his car roared to life and he drove off. The man had no idea what to expect, other than to hang out with June and have a chat. After about a twenty minute drive, he parked his car on the street - seeing that another car was parked right in front of her house. A group hangout? Alright, not really what I was expecting from her. He thought, pushing the button again to turn the car engine off after putting it in park.
He unbuckled his seat belt, grabbed his wallet and got out of the car - glancing at the house numbers before heading up the walkway to the correct one. It seemed that the front door was already open, a smile gracing his face before it quickly faded - he wasn't expecting a man opening the door for him. "I'd like to ask you the same thing. I'm looking for June? She invited me over to hang out. And who the hell are you?" It wasn't like they were dating, but Aaron felt he was starting to get closer to the tattooed blonde woman.
Well clearly, he wasn't the only one who was shocked to see another man outside of this house. Danny could register the shock on the stranger's face - that brilliant smile disappearing the moment he laid eyes on Danny. It only made him more suspicious now. Green eyes narrowed a little, that stupid part of his male brain thinking that he needed to straighten up a more to get more height over the mystery man, his shoulders rolling just a little more to flex. Once the posturing between the two of them started, the dirty blonde opened his mouth: "I'd like to ask you the same thing. I'm looking for June? She invited me over to hang out. And who the hell are you?"
Danny's eyebrows arched. June asked him over? His sister? This cannot be right. Was she seeing someone? The man racked his memory, either she had mentioned it and he clearly hadn't been listening or June was keeping stuff to herself. He wasn't sure how he felt about that, as an older brother. But now was not the time to piss and moan over such things, "Excuse me?" Danny's voice was surly, clearly insulted by the minor jab, "I'm Danny. Her brother. Her older brother." He glanced him over again, a fleeting look - he supposed he could be her type, tatted up and such. Seemed a little skinny though, "She told me a friend was coming over and to unlock the door for them, but I didn't realize...you'd be you...what is your name again?" Given that the mystery man still hadn't given him a name - the fucking jerk.
The right thing and the easy thing are never the same.
aron felt like he was going to have some sort of testosterone stand off. He didn't particularly enjoy confrontation, but if it came to it he would be ready. June didn't ever mention a brother - though they hadn't really had the chance to to talk about family yet.
"Danny? She never mentioned you." He was one hundred percent sure of that. Being a teacher meant he had to be good at memorizing student's names. It was all part of the job. Danny almost gave him a glare - causing the bleach blonde to raise his eyebrow almost giving the stranger a sarcastic look. "Yep, that friend would be me. Do you have a problem having your sister be friends with a guy?" Aaron chuckled - it wasn't like the two of them were romantically involved. Lately, he found out that June and him had more in common than just enjoying and appreciating the artwork of tattoos.
To be more of a jerk, Aaron paused after Danny asked who he was. "I'm Aaron and as a fellow older brother, I get the protective gig. I'm really not going to hurt her." Anne had helped him through a lot after his fiancee died - he watched over her like a hawk when she was a baby. "Can I come in or are we going to have a WWE match against each other?" He didn't really expect Danny to fight him - though he had a feeling June wouldn't be far behind them.
