@ScalyOfficer They ended up walking to the police station together but he froze.
He wasn't sure if he should tell Maverick.
They've been friends for years now. Surely he'd understand.
His mind was clouded and unable to focus, kindly excusing himself to go home early a few days later.
He ended up finishing work early and decided to head to the park. He told Sebastian to make sure him and Maverick closed up.
He went to the same bench and sat down, deeply in thought.
@EarthDragChief "I recall the portal malfunctioned when the human stepped back inside to return home."
He closed his eyes to think about the events from the other night.
"Last I heard, from the call, some kids went by it and had to escort them away from it.
That's pretty much it."
@NoMoreSickLeave "We're still working on that. We're professionals after all. We've been communicating a lot more.
So we'll work it out.
And hey. Good to hear you're gonna try again with her. Hopefully she hasn't been doing anything out of the ordinary lately."
@NoMoreSickLeave "Well, firstly, Sebastian and I...well.."
He paused, unsure if he should answer, but he kept going.
"We're dating...and my proposition..you're welcome to say no.
Would you want to be with us too?"
@NoMoreSickLeave He could only stand by and comfort him. He didn't have any close relatives, compared to Maverick.
And having to commit that...so early, he could understand it being a struggle to deal with.
"I wish things could've ended different. I didn't want it to happen that way either."
@ScalyOfficer He went into the bathroom himself after Sebastian. He did what he needed to do and walked out 15 minutes later.
He wasn't in that much of a rush. He walked to the living room, seeing Sebastian on the couch.
He stopped at the couch.
"Should we tell Maverick?"
@ScalyOfficer He knew things were difficult lately and this moment was the one time where nothing was bothering them.
The mere closeness was the calmest he's ever felt.
"We should really get up though."
