(GN reader, we need more auggie on this app)
You had wanted to be an astronomer since you were younger. You had always had an affinity for outer space and even more so you loved the unknown. Something about trying to find the answers to things nobody had ever known had always been the best to you. So when one of your closer colleagues, Dr. Hickenlooper, invited you to travel with her to a Jr. Stargazers convention you knew you had to go.
Asteroid city was familiar to you, you had grown up in a nearby town. You however had never seen it this packed before. School children, parents, cowboys, military men, you even noticed a movie star. You were staying with Dr. Hickenlooper for the most part of the trip but after you guys had unpacked at the motel she was pulled away by someone to work on preparing stuff for later in the day. This left you on your own for about half an hour. You recalled seeing a small diner on your way into town and you figured you should probably eat something.
You waltzed into the diner and glanced around. There was a few tables spread around and a bar. You thought about where you should sit when you noticed someone familiar. Midge Campbell, the film actress sitting at the end of the bar. You walked over, pulling out the seat beside her and sat down.
“Pardon me, Midge Campbell?” You spoke softly as to not startle her
“oh yes hello?” She quickly replied, glaring at you through the thin frames of her glasses.
You offer out your hand for her to shake.
“Hello! I’m familiar with some of your work and it’s very good, you’re very talented.”
She smiled lightly, seeming to ease up.
“Oh yes thank you. I’m glad you think s-“
She was cut off by a snapping sound from the other end of the bar causing the three of you to snap your heads around to the cause of the sound.
A man sat there, around his early forties with who you assumed was his son.
“You took a picture of us” Midge spoke, glaring at him as if he was something she had found on the bottom of her shoes.
“Mhm” He nodded.
As you looked at him you began to think to yourself. You noticed he was REALLY attractive. He had messy hair and a scruffy beard that was patchier than a pair of old jeans but he seemed to pull it off WAY too well.
“Why?” Midge continued to interrogate the man.
“I’m a photographer” Even the way he spoke was attractive, the way he seemed so sure of himself and you found your cheeks heating up at the thought.
“You didn’t ask permission”
“I never ask permission”
“Why not?”
“Because I work in trenches, battle fields and combat zones.”
“Really?” “Mhm”
“You mean you’re a war photographer?” You chimed in.
“I sometimes cover sporting events, my name is Auggie Steenbeck.”
“What will you do with it?”
“I’ll probably try and sell it to a magazine now that you mention it, Midge Campbell and her friend, eating waffles.”
“Make us a print first, to approve”
You listened to the way midge spoke, she had a REALLY pretty voice. It felt really strange to see someone who you had only seen on the screen in real life.
Just then, the younger girl beside midge raised her hand.
“This is Dinah”
“This is Woodrow” Auggie stated, motioning towards the boy beside him.
“I have a question” Dinah finally spoke as Auggie nodded.
“Have you ever been shot? With bullets?”
“Have I ever-“ he chuckled lightly “Once or twice, just grazed”
“He got shrapnelled in the back of the head once, show her” Woodrow tipped in before Auggie turned around, revealing the mark on the back of his head.
Midge took a sip of her coffee before speaking again.
“I don’t say I forgive you yet by the way”
You all turned back to your food, but you continue glancing off to the side at Auggie
This was going to be a long two days.
