It's not unusual for someone to look for someone else to share their life, whether they were 40 or 22. Love is something everyone requires, or at the very least thinks about. The knowledge that someone out there loves ytou unconditionally, and wants to be with you, forever.
Lord, how Michael was feeling that right now.
The 'life fast, die young' mentality got old. The 'Need an ass to tap' lost it's luster after a while. The 'Ladies Man'. The 'heart breaker'. The 'cassanova'. The 'bad boy with the troubled past'.
Titles, simply put, empty titles he could care less about. Well, except the bad boy one, that was fairly true. But titles, none the less. Michael was one of the most popular boys on the campus and the attractor to several ladies. One night stands aplenty. Dates that never went anywhere except to either her dorm of his dorm. The sex meant nothing and both parties new that. It was either a case of pleasure...or just because he was bored. And right now, he was feeling distant. Lonely. Tired of skirt chasing and never getting anywhere.
His hair a shaggy black (especially right now, as he found himself rather drunk) and his black t-shirt hanging loosely off his chest, hanging in such a way his scar showing on the top of his torso. Dark brown eyes stared out, clouded with a drunken stupor as he crushed the beer can in his hand, throwing it off to the side to match the small hill of crushed beer cans. He reached over into his nearby cooler and grabbed another, cracking it open and taking a sip of it, releasing a low, shuddering groan and leaning back in his couch. Lord, the life he lives right now. People would say a blessing. "Come on man, you're having sex with so many fine girls!" "Don't be such a pussy! You got every girl at your beck and call!"
Fat lot of good when he felt empty as hell inside.
HIs eyes slipped over his room and out a nearby window. Such a pretty night. Clear. No clouds. Nice and cool. A winter/fall kinda person all around. Something shimmered in the sky. A star. ONe of the brighest out there.
"When you wish upon a shtaaaaaaaaaar..." He slurred, chuckling to himself and taking another sip. "Makesh no difference who you aaaaaaaare..."
He rose to his feet and stumbled up to the window, blinking his eyes back to focus (and failing), and stared at the star staring straight ahead. "Okay, buddy...no funny bushiness..." he slurred, his eyes closing. "Shtar light, shtar bright, yadda yadda yadda..." He took another sip of his soda. "I wish...that I had shomeone perfect. Sh-shomeone...who wanted to be with me no matter what. Someone....shomeone who sticks by me, through thick and thin, and likes me for the guy I am...an' shit."
He groaned a little bit and downed the rest of his beer. "Mm." He looked at the can. "Need more booze.'
