It had been a long week, but Saturday finally came. Work at the construction site, in 12 hour shifts and 90° weather had beaten Luke and Alex down, and they decided to hang out and have a couple beers to cool off. They’d been friends since high school, and got this gig together when college was out for the summer.
Alex buzzed the door for the apartment and Luke let him in. Alex’s huge body filled the doorway, he was at least 6′ 6″, and 220 pounds of muscle, towering over Luke’s skinny 5′ 8″ frame.
Luke pulled some beers out of the fridge and opened them, handing one to Alex.
“Mario Kart, let’s do this!”
After a few bad rounds Alex conceded,
“Alright, so you’ve still got the edge on me in Mario Kart.”
“Damn right I do!” Luke laughed.
Alex’s eyes lit up,
“God, remember how we used to wrestle back in junior high? Sure doesn’t look like a fair fight anymore,” he teased.
Luke smirked at Alex,
“Go on, try it! You might be twice my size but I bet I could still take you.”
