Only The Good Die Young

Tony could feel the nerves gathering in him as the leaving date for their trip neared. At first there was a week, than six days, and so on and so forth, until finally the dreaded day was reached. Well, dreaded wasn't exactly the right word. Tony was excited to go, but he was nervous about it as well. Tony didn't sleep thee evening prior to event, and he could barely focus at work since he knew in a few short hours he'd be embarking on a day long journey with a few people he had known for a little over a week.

"Ready?" Mike asks, leaning against the library counter.

"Uh, yeah," Tony says, picking up his duffle bag off the floor behind he counter. "Let me just tell Anne that I'm leaving." Tony disappears into the back room and exits in a timely fashion.
"To the coast we go!" Mike cheers quietly, a smile falling across his lips.

"Yep," Tony smiles and awkwardly leans over to give Mike a small, chaste kiss, leaving a bigger smile to play on the other's features. Mike clutches Tony's hand as they walk out to Vic's car, and takes Tony's bag and carefully loads it into the trunk, he even goes as far to open the door for Tony.

"Such a gentleman," Vic teases his brother. "Why can't you be that nice to everyone else?"
"Fuck off," Mike says, flipping Vic off as he seatbelts in.

Tony and Jaime both laugh, it was always fun to watch the two brothers interact.

"I like you better when you're being nice to Tone," Vic says as he starts the car and pulls out of the parking lot.

Mike rolls his eyes.

The first leg of the car ride in long and boring, with no pit stops between there and Coeur d'Alene, finally they stop at a gas station, where Jaime ecstatically jumps out and rushes to the men's bathroom in the small building. Vic follows after him, and Tony gets out as well, leaving Mike in the car since he was well asleep.

Tony wanders the isles slowly, looking for something he might like to eat or drink. He sees Jaime gaping at the selection of candy, and he can see Vic stocking up on energy drinks. Tony decides on an energy drink and a bag of chips.

"Wanna see something funny?" Vic asks, a devilish smile playing on his features.

"Sure," Tony says, and Jaime nods in agreement.

"Okay, we need to stand just around the corner so Mikey can't see us," Vic instructs, herding us off. "Now let me just send Mike a text, and," Vic types something into his phone. "Voila! Now watch the magic unfold!" Tony has to put a hand over his mouth to control his laughter when Mike practically jumps through the roof, seatbelt still on. They can see Mike fumble to take his seatbelt off, and they finally decide to give up the jig when Mike stumbles out of the car.

"I can't believe you fell for that," Vic laughs, clutching his stomach. "Why the hell would be abandon you and the car at a gas station?"

Mike frowns and flips his brother off. "You're a dick Vic."

"At least I'm not stupid," Vic laughs, walking back to the passenger's seat of the car. "It's someone else's turn to drive, by the way." Vic informs them as he climbs into the car.
"I'll do it!" Cheers Jaime as he pops open an energy drink and chugs some down. Jaime bounces around to the drivers seat, and gets into the car as well.

Mike and Tony slide back in as well, they weren't even close yet. There was still a long night of driving left.
