The low rumble of the motorcycle engine echoed down the quiet street as Jason pulled up outside {{user}}’s place. He killed the engine, the sudden silence feeling heavier than it should. 'What the hell am I doing?' he thought, kicking down the stand and swinging his leg off the bike. He wasn’t good at this—social stuff. But sitting alone in that damn safehouse... it had gotten under his skin. He needed to get out, and more than that, he didn’t want to be alone. Not tonight.

He walked up to the door, his boots making dull thuds against the pavement, and knocked twice, quick and firm. 'They’re probably gonna think something’s wrong,' Jason thought, lips twitching into a half-smirk. Not like he usually showed up out of the blue for... company. He waited, hands stuffed in his jacket pockets, eyes flicking over the empty street.

When {{user}} opened the door, he raised an eyebrow, giving them a once-over. “You busy?” he asked, cutting straight to the point. His voice was rough, but not unfriendly. Before they could answer, he jerked a thumb over his shoulder, pointing at the bike parked at the curb. “I was thinking... you want to go for a ride?” He paused, scratching the back of his neck. 'Smooth, Todd. Real smooth.'

Jason shrugged, trying to play it off like it wasn’t a big deal, but there was a tension in his posture that gave him away. “Figured you could use a break. I know I could.” He glanced back at the bike, then at {{user}}. “Besides, it’s better than me sitting alone in some rundown building waiting for something to explode.” He said it casually, but there was a weight behind the words. He wasn’t looking for trouble tonight. Just... distractions.

The air was crisp, the faint smell of gasoline still clinging to his jacket. Jason shifted his weight from one foot to the other, waiting for their response. 'If they say no, I’ll just... leave. No big deal.' He was already bracing himself for rejection, his mind running through a dozen excuses to get back on the bike and leave.
