Title: Connections Author: DeadGrrl Fandom: Askewniverese Pairing: Jay / Silent Bob Rating: NC-17 Status: New Archive: E-me for permission. E-mail address for feedback: deadgrrl2@yahoo.com Series/Sequel: No series, just my ongoing obsession with the slashy nature of two stoners. Disclaimers: In concept, it all belongs to Kevin Smith - Jay, Silent Bob, and the Askewniverse. I'm just borrowing them for my own secret pleasures but promise to return them unharmed... but sated. Notes: It started off with a request - someone I know wanted a cameo appearance. I thought it odd, but I aim to please. Then everyone wanted to be in it, and then well, then I just got carried away. So, yes, I have people like this in my life... Scary, isn't it? Additional Notes: Smith has his own little Mewes, and I've got mine too. To my Muse: Clash, who said those immortal words "I'm confident in my heterosexuality... Come on, put me in there." And my other Muse: Essa, who egged me on the entire way...thank you for inspiration and suggestions, lady. Remember when the lawyers come to get me, you two had no idea that's what I was doing with all my spare time. Summary: A night out, a missed deal and Jay and Silent Bob make a few discoveries. Spoilers: Barely worth mentioning. For Dogma. One line of little importance. Warnings: Language, M/M Sexual Situations, First Time Parting Remark: "It's Smith's World... And I'm gonna slash it." "Connections" By DeadGrrl "Of all the fuckin' bar's in all the world, dude *had* to pick this one." Jay scowled, pissed off at having to travel halfway across New Jersey just to make a deal. Standing in line Jay and Silent Bob waited to be admitted into the bar. The line was moving slowly as the bouncer checked I.D.'s and made small talk. Bob smirked at Jay's deliberate misquote and quelled the urge to respond 'Play it again, Sam.' Instead he nodded his head in response and took a drag off his smoke. "I mean this motherfucker better be ready to buy us a fucking round, making us haul ass all the way out to 'tim-butt-fuck-too' just to make a fucking deal. I swear, the shit I put up with all in the name of commerce." Jay shook his head in disgust. The line moved again and Jay and Silent Bob stepped up to the front door. Standing in front of them was an attractive guy, whose face held a slight cast of Native American features, in a white t-shirt and black suede vest. Black jeans and leather boots added to the menacing image as he nodded. "Gentlemen, I.D.'s please." Jay grinned at the piercing blue eyes watching him in amusement. "Oh, fuck you, I.D.'s please. Like you don't know who we are. How the fuck you doing, Duke?" Looking down his sharp nose Duke smiled menacingly at the two. As a moment passed Jay became uncomfortable and began to wonder why Duke was staring at them so. Leaning over he mumbled to Bob "Dude, I think he wants my ass or something. I ain't got time to blow him I gotta get in there and make my connection. You take him out back and give him a super suck or whatever and I'll meet you back here." Bob's response was to narrow his eyes at Jay. Duke ignored this exchange as he continued to stare at the long flowing blond hair... on the chick behind the two. "Shanna." Duke grinned as he motioned to the young lady behind the boys to come forward. The fine young thing flounced past Jay and Bob, kissed Duke on the cheek, pushed a strand of his long brown hair behind his ear and entered the bar. Jay watched the halter top and hot pants clad girl bounce away. Nudging Bob, Jay asked "Shit, dude did you see that chick? Tits out to here, hair down to there, hootchie mama short half up her ass. Fuck, she's the kinda chick you'd wanna lush roll through the lobby." Bob looked at Jay as he tried to guess if he had ever heard Jay utter that line before, or if Jay had gotten it from somebody. Shrugging his shoulders, Bob blinked away this ponderence as Duke re-focused his attention on them. "I'm good Jay. You here on business or pleasure?" Jay rolled his eyes, "Dude, I don't know where you get your info but I'm all about pleasure. Gonna drink some beers, maybe get a little bit of kitty..." Duke nodded his head slowly, "Yeah. Right. Okay, just don't let me see nothing." "Thanks man, but you know I gotta ask you a question. Why the fuck do they call you 'Duke'? Man, fucking John Wayne killed Indians and shit in those movies, and here you are a half-and-half and that's your nickname?" "Get your skinny white-ass inside." Duke glared as he pointed for them to go. Jay led Bob into the bar and told him "See, I knew it! He wants me, he's been checking out my ass. You're lucky I distracted him Lunchbox, otherwise you'd be scrapping your knees in the bathroom." Bob shook his head behind Jay and gave a sigh of resignation. "Go get us something to drink. I'm gonna scan the crowd, maybe line up someone to play with when I'm done here..." Jay told Bob as he moved into the crowd. Bob watched Jay's retreating form for a moment and turned towards the main bar to get drinks. Jay pressed through the crowd looking for the dude that was supposed to meet him. Guy with some name like Newt or Nate or some such shit. He was supposed to be sitting in the backroom with a bottle of vodka. A quick assessment of the area didn't reveal anyone. This was definitely not Jay's scene. The crowded, smoke filled bar was hot and loud. Jay leaned against a wall, eyes scanning the crowd for Silent Bob. Where the fuck was that tubby bitch? Jay shifted as tried to lean into the wall more comfortably. Sending Bob to get some beers was probably a bad idea, but he didn't want to miss his connection. Jay sighed to himself, suddenly wanting to get this over with and out of the bar. The crowd consisted of locals and young professionals looking to kick back or relieve some tension with a fast lay. Sighing again, Jay could use a lay himself. It had been way to long since anyone had graced his bed. Snorting to himself he thought of who he wanted in his bed and shook his head. Wasn't going to happen. No way, so there was no sense pondering it, no sense getting depressed about it. Regardless Jay felt his bad mood worsening into pure out pissy. Then someone bumped into him hard, knocking him off his feet. "Motherfucker!" Jay swore as he pitched forward. Strong hands grabbed him and held him until he got his feet back under him. "Sorry about that, man." Came a deep voice. Looking up and quickly squashing his retort, Jay looked into the eyes of a rather tall, rather big guy. The dude was huge with a muscular upper body. He was what someone would call "beefy" if one were inclined to describe the man in front of him. Looked like a bouncer from Hell, as he was dressed all in black. Dark long wavy hair pulled back tight into a ponytail and blue-green eyes, he looked slightly dangerous. Jay nodded his head, "Yah, whatever," and went back to holding up the wall. The dark-haired stranger smiled at Jay, "Really, sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Can I buy you a drink?" Jay frowned. "Shit, I've heard better pick-up lines in Sunday school." Jay rolled his eyes. The guy raised his eyebrows at this, momentarily surprised. Then a small smile appeared on his lips as he replied, "If I were trying to pick you up, I wouldn't need a line." Jay swallowed hard as he looked into strangers' eyes again. Shit, he was cute. Of course that just might be his libido making comparisons. It had to be the goatee... Well, he was horny. "But I'm sure my boyfriend would be upset with me if I did that." The stranger replied. Jay scowled at this. Fuckin' figures, he thought to himself, I can't even find an available substitute fuck. The stranger watched with amusement as a barrage of emotions had passed across the younger man's face. He guessed the blond to be in his 20's. It was hard to tell with the baby-face. He was cute, but he looked a little too wound up. The way he was scanning the crowd he must be waiting for someone important. "I'm Clash, nice to meet you." He told Jay as he extended his hand. Jay shook the hand in front of him and replied, "Yeah, I'm Jay. Nice to meet you and shit." Jay leaned back into the wall again. He raised his eyebrows and questioned, "Clash?" Clash gave a grin, "It's a nickname. I've had it so long, and so many people use it, I just introduce myself that way." Jay nodded at this. "I hear that shit. That reminds me of my boy, Silent Bob. Been calling him that for so long that no one remembers the fucks last name no more." "Really?" Clash smiled as he placed a hand against the wall, leaning over Jay. Jay continued to scan the crowd and replied, "Yeah, I'd introduce you to him but Mute Boy seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle. Fucking figures, someone's probably tryin' to pick him up. Dude's a fucking sex magnet. I can't fucking take him anywhere without someone trying to lay him." Jay shook his head in disgust. "So, you're not exclusive?" Clash asked with amusement. "Hell's no. We ain't even fuckin'. We're just friends and shit. He's my Muscle." Jay responded off the cuff. Clash pondered this for a moment and decided to press. "So he wouldn't care if I were to say, hit on you?" "Fuck no, Bob don't give a shit. Just as long as you don't try to beat the shit out of me. But fucking me, that's a different... Hey! I ain't gay!" Jay responded with scowl. Where the fuck was Silent Bob, anyway? Silent Bob waited patiently at the bar. He had unsuccessfully been trying to get drinks for the last 10 minutes. The press of the crowd was at least five people deep and the bartenders a flurry of movement. He was next in line, and was looking forward to getting back by Jay. God only knows what Jay had gotten into in the ten minutes he had been gone. A young guy that stood next to him during their attempt to be served had struck up a conversation. Bob had grinned and nodded in the appropriate places, enough so that the guy had continued his discourse. "So I'm chasing this asshole down on foot, and the guy runs into this abandoned warehouse. He's thinking that he'll be able to make it down to the docks and I dunno, swim his way to freedom or something. This motherfucker actually makes it out to the waterfront and jumps in. Only problem is that shit head can't swim. So not only do I get to rescue his ass, I actually make my first collar. How about that for fucked up?" Vitto finished his story. Bob smiled and nodded his head. The young cop standing next to him had been regaling him with 'stupid criminal stories'. Bob had to agree that most criminals were, indeed, quite stupid. The stories had been funny, and Bob felt only slightly ill at ease with the cop. He was a friendly out-going kind of guy, and obviously enjoyed talking. Bob smiled at that, just like Jay. Vitto ended his story, as he was finally able to place his drink order. Leaning over into Bob's earshot he asked, "What'll you have?" "2 taps," Bob responded into Vitto's ear and began to dig out cash for the beer. "Hey, put that away, my treat." Vitto responded as he waved off Silent Bob's money. Successful in finally getting drinks, Vitto handed Bob 2 beers and motioned to the backroom. "Come on over and hang with us after you find your buddy. I'll be over in the backroom with my friend. I'll see you later." Vitto nodded at Bob and pressed his way back through the crowd. Bob watched the cop retreat and leaned back over the bar. The bartender, an attractive, tall young woman with dark spiky hair, asked him "What's your pleasure? Blow Job or Tight Snatch?" Bob's reply to this question was to widen his eyes, blink, then blush. The bartender waited a moment for his reply. Grinning she added, "The drink specials tonight... Blow Job is a shot. Tight Snatch is a rail drink. You're not a regular are you? Hey Dee, we got a virgin!" She called out excitedly to the other bartender. A shorter woman with auburn hair pulled back in pigtails that hung only to her shoulders whisked past the brunette. "Ahhh, fresh meat!" She looked him up and down and finished her thought, "Yummy." She winked at Bob as she delivered a drink to the far end of the bar. Bob blinked again, not quite sure what to make out of this exchange, but became worried as he noticed some of the crowd backing away from him. This, he suspected, was a bad sign. The brunette was distracted momentarily by some drunk at the end of the bar yelling out to her. "Kay... Kay... gimmes a glash. I wanna, I wanna glash so I can drink me, my vodka. C'mon Kay..."
