Army-Navy Surplus

Darren and I walked about a block and half into the Army-Navy surplus store. It was filled with military stuff like gas masks, canteens, and boots. It also had tons of jackets. I passed a beret that I thought was cool, but I wasn't looking for a hat. Darren pointed me over to the pea coats.

“What your size?” He asked.

"Size 38.” I answered.

“Check these out.” Darren said while handing me a gray peacoat.

“This looks cool.” I said while trying it on.

“Damn, you look hot in that!” Darren said.

“Darren!” I stammered.

“Just kidding. You do look really good that though.” He said.

“Awesome. Thanks for your help.” I said.

“I work in a clothing store, I'm a fashion whore.” He said.

We walked over to the counter and I paid for the coat. I decided to wear it since it had gotten a bit chilly that early October afternoon. I took my hoodie and threw it in my bag. Darren and I had some more laughs. I even snapped a couple pics of him being flamboyant outside the L station.

“You wanna come with me to Trax?” I asked.

“I can't, I got work in an hour.” Darren said.

“ Too bad. You're cool to hang with.” I said.

“For a homo?” He said sarcastically.

“No. As a person.” I said.

“Why thank you. Serious, thank you.” Darren said hugging me.

“I'll see you later. I'll probably be in Dark Wave soon.” I said.

“Hang on a second,” Darren said scribbling on a piece of paper.

“Call me whenever you want to hang.” He said.

“Will do. See you later.” I said.

“Bye .” Darren said.
