The snake-like imp would grin wickedly at the other, now having a leash to go with that collar.
ㅤ❝ Long time no see, Vermin. Ya miss me? ❞
He asked with a cackle as he yanked the chain. All the past memories he's had with him causing his smile to widen.
ㅤ
ㅤ
That red on the cowboy's cheeks grew a little brighter from that. He'd then chuckle softly and play it off.
ㅤㅤ❝ Awe please, Josshy, yer flatterin' me. You're not so bad yourself y'know? ❞
He'd look at them, the snakly imp smiling at them in return.
ㅤ
He stay quiet for a few minutes himself as he looks over as Striker leans into him more.
“Yeah, hehe, if I may say this Striker? I think you really are amazing, and well cute too.”
He would say to Striker with a blush.
@Moxxieprecious ㅤ
He'd keep looking in their eyes, seeing their expressions of worry was enjoyable to watch, in a sick way for him.
ㅤㅤ❝ It was just a thought— I know somebody would kill go get their hands on a real angel. People'll pay top dollar. ❞
A smirk curled up on his face.
ㅤ
He hadn't even noticed that the injured Angel was near him until he felt something press against his leg.
He'd look down and defensively take a step back before seeing who it was, and even though he was confused by their appearance, he grinned.
❝ Well look what the cat ⇘
*Mox was wounded in a wing, was bleeding profusely and was hurting him very badly, was releasing blood drops for the road, barely walked, trying not to collapse to the ground, went to bump into the READER, was seriously injured*
"n-ngh...! H...hhh..."
ㅤ
He'd be quiet for a moment, feeling an arm around him now before he let out a soft sigh and leaned into them a bit now. It was nice.
ㅤㅤ❝ Uh— . . . Yeah. It's pretty nice. Bein' so close and all with you. ❞
He'd softly chuckle, relaxing a bit more with them.
ㅤ
He looks at him as he does, and gently puts his arm over him and blushes as he blushes.
“This.. is umm really nice Striker.. being this close to someone as amazing as you are!”
ㅤ
He'd now blush a bit too, a red tint on his cheeks as he nodded his head.
ㅤㅤ❝ Sure—Sure thing. I wouldn't mind that. . . ❞
He said as he looked off, rubbing the back of his neck.
He looks and feels him breath on him and looks back at him deeply in the eyes.
“I-im ok with that Striker heh. Would it be alright if I put my arm around you?”
He says as he looks at him blushing red more.
ㅤ
His eyes widened a bit as they said that, Striker now looking deep into the eyes of the man he's been spending so much time with.
ㅤㅤ❝ Oh— is it really? Heh, guess I'll just stay right here then . . ❞
He was practically breathing on him he was so close.
ㅤ
His head tilted to the side a bit, a little confused as to why they're flustered. He hasn't even noticed how close he is until now as his face got closer and be now.looked him in the eyes.
ㅤㅤ❝ Yer flustered? Well that's something— I could get away if ya want. . . ❞
“Hmmm? Oh umm yeah I’m alright, just a bit flustered that your uhh this close to me.. n-not that I kind of course.”
He’d says as he took a big sip from his drink, as he saw Striker looking at him.
ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ❝ Well you'll just have to sorts get used to it, I guess. ❞
Taking a big swig of a drink, he'd then look at the other sitting very close to him, eyes squinting and tail curiously swaying.
ㅤㅤ❝ You feelin' alright? You're redder than an imp. ❞
ㅤ
He saw as Striker puts his arm over the back of the couch, and blushes again, as he opens up his bottle too.
“How do you umm.. we’ll manage to do it every day for this long?”
ㅤ
ㅤHe'd take a seat, right up next to them now as he let out a relaxing sigh and opened up his bottle, an arm over the back of the couch.
ㅤㅤ❝ Yeah, it is pretty tiring. ❞
He said taking a sip, not noticing the others blush yet.
ㅤ
He then sits down on the couch, still blushing softly, and feeling a little flustered but still enjoying himself.
“Y-yeah same with me! It must be tiring doing that a lot?”
ㅤ
ㅤㅤ❝ Great, because after that ride I need a refresher. ❞
Still holding their hand he lead them in the house, grabbing a few cold beers for the two. He's getting way to comfortable with them now, soon letting go of their hand after a long while.
He blushes a bit more as he had his hand held by him as they headed inside the house.
“Oh.. uhh yeah sure Striker.. heh sounds like fun, I’d love to share some drinks with ya.”
ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ❝ Oh I know it's gonna be fun. I really enjoyed being with you so far. How's about we get some drinks? ❞
He chuckled and grabbed their hand softly, leading them inside.
ㅤ
“Yeah me neither Striker! It’s gonna be so much fun hanging out with ya!”
He smiles as they hugged, as he blushes slightly from the hug not expecting one from him.
ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ❝Oh, looks like it all works out then! Guess we're temporary roommates, so make yourself at home. Can't wait to hang out more! ❞
He said, hugging them back and chuckling a bit.
ㅤ
“I’ll take up on that offer Striker, im not planning on heading back for a few days, so it gives up time to hang out more.”
He says as he chuckled also, giving Striker a hug then a bump on the shoulder.
ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ❝ Well ain't that swell! I'd love to see ya more and get to hang out s'more! Hell you could even bunk with me for now if ya wanted. ❞
Thatast part kinda just came out in the moment, causing him to chuckle awkwardly. But he would honestly do it.
ㅤ
“Yeah.. I’ll definitely consider it, cuz I do feel more at home here. Plus I’ll get hang out and see you more Striker!”
He smiles at him, feeling his shoulder pats, as he does the same back to him, while looking at him.
ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ❝ Well you should consider living out here then if you feel more at home here. It'll be a blast having you around too, and you'll get to be 'wild and free' all the time. ❞
He gave them a gentle pat on their shoulder.
ㅤ
“Yeah.. the city life is alright, but the country, idk I’ve just always felt more at home here. I feel like I can be myself, wild and free!”
He says as he watched Striker get close to him with his rattling tail.
ㅤ
ㅤㅤ ❝ It was fun having ya along for the ride. Getting to show ya a little piece of my home was great too, definitely a good contrast to that city life. ❞
He walked up to them, still smiling as his tail rattled a bit.
ㅤ
“I’d like that very much Striker! It was dang fun riding with ya, especially to see the beautiful country you call home.”
He’d smile as he watches Striker get down and let Bombproof roam around the yard.
