It's Blake, you know what to do. Text.
Looking for Overdrive Tattoo? Call us at [...]
A lot had changed in the short amount of time Blake and Nico had been in New York for the wedding.
He had brothers!
Not just brothers but he was a triplet!
And damn, a lot of shit made sense - why he felt at times there was some sort of 'echo' in his mind.
Not only that but he'd been convinced to go on their honeymoon with them with Nico. And Nico agreed!
When had this become his life?
First though, he needed to talk to Austin. It was late but he had a feeling his best friend would still be up. While all of this should be done face to face, that all would have to come later. For now, text would have to suffice.
He hoped. They'd be leaving soon enough for their flight to Paris. He was assured that he'd have clothes - curtesy of Avi - waiting for him upon arrival to the jet.
Bro. You will never believe what happened last night.

For Nico @ LA Race Night
Jan. 5th, 2024 12:43 pmBack home in San Francisco, Saturday nights meant race night.
Well, any night was race night if you were wanting it enough.
But the real party, the turnout was Saturday night. Any time after 9 p.m. and it was on.
L.A. was no different.
No, that was a lie. It was a little different in that they weren't at the top of the food chain.
Yet.
They were getting there. They were making a name for themselves outside of Overdrive Tattoo and the guys who were at the top were also decent friends/contacts with Don and Ricky back home. But in this business and in this game, the people you knew was important, but it was more important how you drove your car.
They just did what they always did - show up, race and win more often than not.
Austin and he had made LA their home over the last couple of years and while it was hard to not have their makeshift family around them all the time, it was nice to see how far they could come on their own. Mostly on their own.
There was always new people coming out each weekend. Some wanted to see what the whole (illegal) fuss was about and never came back. A few enjoyed the easy score of some of the girls and even a few guys, enjoyed the party atmosphere but didn't race. There were others who wanted to show off which either went one of two ways - either they were beaten eventually and never returned or, and these were Blake's favorite, they got the bug and started returning as much as they could.
That had been him. That had been a lot of them.
When he comes along a new flashy car in the lineup, Blake whistles low. "Beautiful car," he says, glancing over at the man and can't help but notice how beautiful its owner was as well.

Blake Andrews
✑ Born June 10th (Gemini)
✑ Blake moved to San Francisco from Oregon with his parents right before entering high school.
✑ Met Austin Thompson in science during his Freshman year. Both spent a ton of time drawing instead of paying attention to the lecture.
✑ Another classmate introduced them by encouraging Blake to switch spots with him so he could sit next to a cute girl.
✑ Austin and Blake struck up a conversation that day and were as thick as thieves from then on.
✑ They would later meet the guys who would become their brothers in a shop class during their Sophomore year.
✑ They wouldn't start talking about opening a tattoo parlor until their Senior year.
✑ Through Don and Ricky, he learned how to race cars and work on cars (he learned more from them than he did from the shop class)
✑ Dated Abby for a while before Austin and he got into some trouble in San Francisco and decided to make a shot of it in LA.
✑ They apprenticed at a tattoo parlor or two for a bit before deciding to open their place. It didn't get going until they moved to LA and opened up Overdrive Tattoos.
✑ Has only recently admitted to himself and his family (the guys and two girls left in San Francisco) that he's bisexual.
✑ Never goes anywhere without a sketch pad and pencil.
✑ The family protects their neighborhood(s) by taking out the trash that needs to be taken out like abusive assholes, those who think it's okay to harm children or animals etc.
