open: f/nb 21+ based: buffalo '66 (1998) - obie lied to his family and told them he was in a relationship to impress them, and now that they've started asking to meet her, he kidnapped your muse to force her to pretend to be his girlfriend for the day. who: oberlin "obie" mcdermott, he/him, 47, heterosexual, retired circus clown/junkyard owner

after about the fifteenth plea for help— twelve times after he'd already told her to shut the f.uck up—obie's knuckles turned white from his grip on the steering wheel, blowing a puff of air through his nose in a failed attempt to soothe his irritation. “what’d i say about f.uckin' talking— i said don’t! don’t say a f.uckin' word until we get there, ok?" his gaze cut away from the road ahead to the hostage sat in his passenger seat.
