"It looks amazing, that's all you needs know. " he drummed his fingers on the counter.

"Alright, if you say so." Nathaniel shrugged again and sat down. "When do you want to get going?"

"When do you have to be at work? I don't have anywhere to be that can't wait" he shrugged, sitting on the counter.

"I have to be there by nine for my shift." Nathaniel replied, propping his head up on the knuckles of one hand.

"so…uh… how long from now? I don't do math" he said after a moment.

"Like, thirty minutes or so." He yawned and stretched. "Dunno how far it is from here."

"Considering traffic, about 24 minutes or so" Carter shrugged, hopping off the counter and grabbing both sets of keys.

"Alright, we should probably get going then." Nathaniel got up and followed Carter. "How many cars do you have?"

"2 my shit day ride, and the one I drive for my job" He hummed, walking outside to the alley where a shitty blue car sat.

Nathaniel nodded, keeping close. Once Carter was in the car, he got into the passenger side, making sure to buckle himself in. "It looks nice to me. What did you say your job was?"

"I don't think I did. but, I drive, that's all that matters" he hummed, putting the car in gear and pulling out of the alley.

"Um… alright." Nathaniel shrugged and watched out the window as they drove. He took his hat out of his bag and put it on so he'd be ready for work.

"Sadly, this car doesn't have a radio. So.. yep" He said slowly, playing with the gear shift.

"That's fine, I don't mind." Nathaniel smiled softly to reassure Carter. "Thanks for driving me, I really appreciate it." He said once they'd arrived at the Cafe where he worked.

Carter nodded, "what time do you get off?" He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel.

"I get off at five." Nathaniel replied, adjusting the strap of his bag over his shoulder as he got out of the car.

"I will see you then" carter smiled.

"See you! Thanks again!" Nathaniel smiled in return, waved, and headed into the Cafe.

Carter nodded, waiting a moment before driving back to his apartment.

At five, Nathaniel came out of the Cafe, looking a bit stressed and with light pink blotches on his cheeks.

Outside of the Cafe sat a black sports car with black windows and an orange pinstripe across the side. The kind of car that made people think it was 'daddy's money'. The door opened and Carter stepped out, now wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses. "hey" he smirked at Nathaniel.

"Hey…" Nathaniel did his best to return the smile and then got into the car, not having much reaction to it. He really didn't know anything about cars; all cars seemed pretty nice to him. He rubbed at his eyes with one hand and sighed.

Carter sighed, getting back in the car and turning the radio down before starting it, otherwise it would have been blaring music. "rough day?" He asked pulling away from the cafe.

"Mm…" Nathaniel hummed in response and leaned back, staring at the ceiling. "People suck. Dunno why they feel the need to scream at me for stuff I didn't even do… I'm literally sixteen. These people are yelling at actual children over coffee."

"least they don't throw things at you" he shrugged, "so, do you want to go back to the apartment or come with me to work? I am just standing by today, not working"
