basically, this has turned into another everybody's gay meet-cute like the apartment AU, only with a slightly less interesting plot. soon to be finished, I have FAITH:

“Why so fucking glum, dude,” Frank says, dropping down onto the steps next to Joe.

Joe’s frowning, playing Fucked Up Love Song already, the one he wrote about Hurley and Mixon and their weirdly intricate heterosexual lifemate status.

Joe shakes his head. “Just found out I’m a family sort of man,” he says. “Fucks with your world view, you know?”

“Shit,” Frank says.

Joe closes his eyes, rubs a hand over his forehead. “I might need to get a fucking job, Frankie, how is this my life?”

Frank blinks at Joe, mind fucking boggled. As far as Frank knows, and Frank knows a lot, Joe hasn’t held a steady tax-paying job since 2001. He’d dropped out of college, quit his internship, and headed for the streets. Frank’s always sort of admired his gumption.

“Dude,” Frank says forlornly, clasping Joe’s shoulder. It’s a sad, sad day when Joe has to go and, like, fucking assimilate. “Are you sure?”

Joe hums a few bars of Let's Get Nasty, Except For Bill, then thumps the flat of his hand against the strings. “He’s got a kid, a steady income, an ex-wife—”

“Huh.” Figures a security guard would be fucking responsible, right.

Joe points at him. “I don’t even have a bank account.”

Frank nods, pushes up the arms of his sweater and leans his elbows on his knees. Frank doesn’t have a bank account either, because it’s too easy for people to, like, fucking steal your identity or whatever. Frank deals with cold hard cash, so The Man can’t keep tabs on his life. Frank’s a free spirit. Frank jams out with Joe at 201 or stakes out his own turf by the fountain down in the park, and pulls in enough coinage to get him coffee, smokes and a couch – although it’s actually only a couch cushion, Hurley claims, but whatever, he shares it with Bill.

Frank sounds so adorably in love and Joe cannot comprehend being normal again :)

I have no clue who these people are. Whether it's fanfic or original, but I mightily enjoyed this little snippet and would probably read more (I say probably because it'll only happen if I get to be online :( )

The apartment story was amazingly one of the greatest things ever to exist, for the record, and, as I am now in one of those types of apartments, with strangers all over, I feel let down that the actuality does not reflect the genius of your story. Perhaps it would, if I was a pretty gay boy, but alas, I'm not.

Also, I want hobo joe!

I had such a crappy week last week and all I wanted in the whole wide world was this story. However, if I can't have the whole story yet, I'm happy with just a snippet. It's brightened my day. :)

Ah, I have faith in Hobo Joe. O.O That totally sounded like a cult tagline.

With Twitter, I completely forgot that you update this ahaha. But I'm glad I checked the situation out and found like, seven updates I missed *fail*
