@OfSabertoothizm well if he’s being honest with himself he wanted to be closer to Brady, not seeing much of him lately with his own hectic schedule and working doubles every few days, the exhaustion was getting to him.
“think you could put it off for one more day?”
@OfSabertoothizm Ricky watched him intently and by the sight of the totaled car he had some his own thoughts on the matter.
“seems likes it’s going to be more than a day project— ” moving off the doorframe, he made his way into the shop and got a closer look.

@OfSabertoothizm Leaning back against the door frame of the auto shop,
“there’s the wizard mechanic I know..” flashing a cheeky grin seeing Brady roll his sleeves up to tackle fixing the ‘totaled’ car.
@OfSabertoothizm “𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝘩𝑖𝑛𝑔—” he muttered brady’s choice of word for the events of the day, before taking a swig of his own beer nearly down half of it in the one swig.
“you nearly wiped out on the go-kart track. .” he exclaimed with concern as it had worried him.
@OfSabertoothizm shaking his head lightly, not minding for brady to join him.
“not at all, there’s a good food truck a little bit ways up. . my treat.” he said motioning with his cranium in the direction it was and to follow along.
@OfSabertoothizm “And yeah… he looks real good in an apron. Not that he wears much else with it.”
His smile turns lazy, head tilted slightly as he watches Brady’s reaction.
“Still sound like a deal you’re interested in… or you getting cold feet, Moreno?”
@OfSabertoothizm He chuckles, low and smug, the kind of laugh that says he knew Brady would bite.
“Oh, he’s decent in the kitchen. Got a signature grilled cheese that’s borderline life-changing.”
He leans in a little, elbow braced casually on his knee as his voice drops just a notch.

@OfSabertoothizm “Lucky for you, I know a guy who makes a halfway decent babysitter. Real charming, too. Looks great holding a med kit.”
He gives Brady a sly look, clearly daring him to bite back.
@OfSabertoothizm “And yeah, genius, you’re gonna need to take it easy. No heavy lifting. No trying to be a hero with a busted hand.” He quipped, the medic in him giving a slight warning.
@OfSabertoothizm After you passed out halfway there ‘cause you bled all over the driver’s seat.” he looks up again, this time letting a small grin tug at the corner of his mouth.
“Yeah. I’m glad I’m here too, dumbass.”
@OfSabertoothizm “You’re lucky you’re cute, because your decision-making skills are tragic.”
He finishes bandaging the cut, his touch efficient but careful.
“Towel and a hospital would’ve worked. Eventually.
