βHah- make sure you get something you like to eat. Near only eats like half the fries and then loses interest.β
Matt grins lazily.
βIβm drivinβ, then?β
β There's a veil of satisfaction on his features, as if he just had a genius idea!
"Actually, we'll get a couple more. He'll get the toys and we'll eat something decent, just in case his cooking is...well, too blad"
@ChocoGenius βHey, that was easily one of my worst puns yet. I earned a knock up the head for it.β
He laughs.
βOh donβt worry, he does. You canβt see the one on my forehead from earlier, but itβs there.β
demon who lives in your apartment and demands churu at increasing volumes would like you to know that it is 3 am and he can see 1 cm of the bottom of his food bowl
βHuh, sounds good to me.β
And then thereβs Mattβ going along with it all carefree. Hopefully Near genuinely isnβt busyβ¦
βIβll send him a message to let him know.
β¦Do we have to bring a bottle of wine like in TV shows?β
β The building itself might shock Matt. "I can call him now, if you want. I'll tell him that we'll be there for...uhm, dinner time?"
Typical of Mello. Jumping on a situation immediately, without even thinking twice, regardless of how busy Near could be.
@ChocoGenius βHohβ¦ I saw a cat Halloween costume online that makes them look like the pope. I think it might be against some kind of law butβ¦ it was pretty funny.β
βYeah, we probably should. God knows you canβt survive on my dietβ I barely can as is.β
Matt really hasnβt spoken to Near in agesβ¦ Not outside of the occasional message to check in on him, anyways.
βNow that I think about it, Iβve never seen his flat.β
β "You're right. His food is edibe, even though he could put some extra effort and add some seasoning.
Should we discuss about it with him? It wouldn't be bad if, for once, we don't talk about work and whatever problem we are forced to deal with."
@ChocoGenius βGuess I gotta get used to it then, eh?β
He manages an easygoing smile againβ shoving that moment of tepid uncertainty back into whatever well it crawled out of.
βHah, if we tighten the belt much further weβll be cookinβ bugs.β
Neither of them can cook. Not even a little. Mello sets things on fire and Matt creates stuff that is calorie dense but a crime against god.
ββ¦Now that I think about it, is Near the only one of us whoβ
β He's pretty confident with that little perspective, despite having absolutely no skills at all with cooking.
"Don't change them, they're cool. You're a talented designer of virtual dream homes" he mutter in a playful tone, winking
Honestly I think if your parents have one of those nonsense names ending in -eigh tacked onto a random name like tunleigh or whatever Americans are on you should be allowed to rename them in retaliation for whatever they do to you
But yeah, I fully agree.
birth names can be bullshit. i think if you have more attachment to a different name, then that one's yours and not whatever Ashleigh and Daniel gives you.
they totally forgot about the fish. stuck to sal afterwards but was too prideful to change it back.
