mindcrackloveToday marks my 2 year anniversary as a member of the salad community. It's also been more than 4 years I've been in the Mindcrack community. Time flies. Here's a drabble I wrote a while ago.
“Pause, will you just tell me where we’re going already?” Beef asked, for what was probably the 5th time. Earlier in the day Pause had pulled Beef out of his apartment and into his car, not providing an explanation. Pause had been driving for nearly 3 hours now, and although Beef enjoyed hanging out with him, he had only gotten more and more curious as to where he was being taken.
“I told you, it's a surprise!” Pause retorted, not making eye contact in favor of keeping his view on the road, “besides, we’re almost there, so quit complaining!”
“I'm not complaining!” Beef yelled back in defense, throwing his arms up in the air. As he did so his hands hit the top of Pause’s car.
“You totally are complaining! You big complainist!” Pause raised his voice to match Beef’s in volume.
“Complainist isn't even a word, You mean complainer!”
“So you admit it!”
Beef let out an exasperated sigh, knowing he wasn't going to win the argument. He smiled. It was moments like these that he cherished the most, especially when they were with Pause.
After a few more minutes, Pause pulled off of the main road and onto a dirt one. Beef raised an eyebrow, and then he saw a large wooden arc with a sign at the top. The sign read: ‘G E N E R I K P U M P K I N S’
“Generik? Like GenerikB?” Beef asked Pause, turning to him.
“Yeah, you didn't know Genny had a pumpkin patch?” Pause spoke, as if it was common knowledge.
“No, why would I know that!” Beef exclaimed, and Pause simply shrugged.
“Anyways, this is the place!” Pause pulled up in front of an old wooden cabin, stopping in front of it before getting out. The cabin seemed vacant, and rather old.
“You took me all the way out here for… A cabin?” Beef was confused, and slightly upset. Pause had gotten his hopes up that it was going to be something amazing, so a cabin seemed rather underwhelming.
“Beef, you're saying it wrong, it's not ‘a cabin’, it's THE cabin!” Pause exclaimed, motioning towards said cabin, “besides, I didn't bring you out here just for the cabin, there's tons of cool stuff out here. The pumpkin patch wasn't making Genny enough money, so he renovated it to double as a summer camp. It's obviously Autumn so no one else is here right now, but I talked to him and he said it was totally cool if we just take the place for a week”
“What, a week? Pause, you can't just drag me out of my house and down to some abandoned cabin and expect me to stay here for a week, I didn't even bring anything with me!”
“Sure you did!” Pause exclaimed, Beef was going to ask what he meant, but he didn't have the chance as Pause was already walking up the steps onto the porch. Pause pushed the door, and it swung open quickly, making a squeaking sound as it swung back and forth. Pause walked in and Beef followed.
The first thing Beef noticed about the cabin was its large brick campfire and chimney, that was not lit. He also took notice that the cabin was just one large room, with no privacy. Finally he realized that the cabin only had one small bed, tucked away into the corner of the room.
“Pause… I don't even know what to say” Beef said.
“Because you're so happy about how thoughtful I was to rent out this dank cabin? I mean, I know it's not much, but I really like it. It's good to take a break from life sometimes, jyafeel?”
Beef sighed.
“Pause, I don't have anything with me, I'm not sleeping on the floor, and I'm pretty sure this building is crawling with bugs” Beef listed, sounding slightly annoyed. He felt a bit of sadness when he saw Pause frown.
“Well, you wouldn’t have to sleep on the floor, I was thinking we could share the bed, and the building doesn't have any bugs- unless we just let some in. Genny promised me it was mosquito free. And well, you may not have brought stuff with you, but I brought stuff for you.” Pause took the tone of defensive, but Beef could still notice the touch of sadness in his voice.
“What do you mean you brought stuff for me?” Beef observed as Pause walked over to the small bed and pulled a small duffel bag out from underneath it, tossing it to Beef. Beef unzipped the bag and noticed a variety of his own clothing in it, as well as a toothbrush, some toothpaste, and a teddy bear.
“This is where my toothbrush went!” Beef exclaimed, “and Beef Jr.!” Pause snickered slightly.
“Beef Jr? You named your bear?” Pause said, trying to stifle giggles.
“Hey! You don't judge, Mr. ‘I still sleep with my baby blanket because it makes me feel safe’!” Beef retorted, a smile on his lips. He was glad Pause was laughing.
“Hey, how did you know about my blanket!”
“You told me about it when you were drunk one night” Beef smirked.
“Well, you- you probably told me embarrassing stuff while you were drunk too!” Pause stuttered back on defense.
“I don't get drunk Pause!”
For a moment; Silence.
“Shut up!” Pause yelled back. The two locked eyes and glared at eachother for a few seconds, before they both broke out into laughter. When they finally finished laughing Beef spoke up.
“So… You wanna go check out the pumpkin patch?”
“Wait, so, you're staying?” Pause asked gleefully, a childish joy in his voice. Beef smiled, unable to find his voice he simply nodded. Pause ran up and hugged his bearded companion.
“This is gonna be awesome! I'm so excited Beef, we can do the zip lines, snuggle up at night- oh, and we can make pumpkin spice lattés!”
“What's with you and pumpkin flavored things? What are you a white girl?” Beef asked jokingly, laughing.
“Oh you know it girlfriend!” Pause pulled away from the hug to snap in a sassy z-formation, causing them both to laugh some more, “I hate myself for doing that” Pause said while laughing.
“I hate you too” Beef said, pulling Pause into a side hug while they continued to laugh. “Now come on, there's pumpkins to be seen!”
