[If only. His drunk logic is that he needed to contact someone to get home because he's drunk, but he can't call Ramona, who is asleep, even though she has a new car and everything she could have picked him up in. But texting Kano as he sits at a bus stop, and then proceeding to walk? Yes, this makes sense to him.]

stop removing doorknons you doorknob

[ What if Kano wants to go back to sleep on the one rare night that he was asleep... but at least with Maverick on the line, so to speak, he can sort of make sure he hadn't fallen into a ditch or got run over by a car. ]

I'm not going to be the one removing it!
That's your job~
I'm imparting my knowledge onto you~~
In return for teaching me all sorts of stuff!

I gave my key

have not gave

that'd be fucked up

you want more ways to steal a fucking car or what only tging I'm good for right

That's not the only thing your good for?
Haven't you been teaching me all kinds of things?

same thing

Hm, hm~
I don't think they're all on the same level as stealing cars that they can be lumped together.
Something like...
Hey, can you do something for me?
While you're outside?

why ducking not rifht

FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING fucking phones I don't fujcing dype ducking

LOL
We're putting that thought on hold for a second.
Does your phone have that voice thing?
Where you talk and it types for you?
Just use that, it'll be easier.

if I wanted to talk I'd fucking call you in the first place

Hang on, I'm going to call you.

[ ring ring ring, because fuck what Maverick wants? ]

[He's staring stupidly at the screen when it starts ringing and nearly drops it, but his dumb, sloggy reactions are still good enough to catch it and -- fuck, stupid fingers. Okay! Got it.]

God, you didn' have to fucking call...

Of course I did!! I wanted to hear your beautiful voice~ How dare you deprive me of that, Mav!

[ Have a bright chipper voice shouting in your ear at ass o'clock at night. Wakey wakey. ]

Ughhh.

[The groan gets a little more distant toward the end, since he moves the phone away from himself. So loud... Thank god he's still drunk.]

So stupid... What d'you really want, cricket?

That's my question to you, isn't it? Texting me at such a weird time of night, so I'm making you suffer with me~ Was your night out with Toki so terrible that you had to tell me the bad news ASAP?

[ ...actually—- ]

Wait- hey! What happened to Toki!? Is Toki with you?? Did you leave him all by himself? Mav!!!!!

[He sure knows a lot of chatterboxes... And yet very little is actually said, huh? That's weird.]

I'm stupid, not that fucking stupid. He's going back, he's fine.

[ a deep breath, that he exhales harshly into the speaker, bc Maverick can't see the incredulity in the face he'd be making if somebody were there to see it. ]

You sent him home, but you didn't go home too. Are you sure you're not that fucking stupid?

Nooo, I am going home!

[gosh!!! And ugh, he hates that when he's this drunk, it's harder to keep out that whine in his tone. This is why he didn't want to talk. Stupid cricket, stupid voice, stupid...stupid.]

Other home. Where it's jus' my room.

[ Other home, but the place he thinks of first when he thinks of the word home, not the dorms. Must be nice to have a place like that, with somebody you know is there, but somebody who'd give you room and probably not ask questions about why you're coming home near four in the morning falling down drunk, they'd just bring you a glass of water or something and put you to bed. ]

Hm~ Okay. Then, my previous question. Did you have such a bad time with Toki? I like Toki.

[ Like that matters? Yeah. Look who Kano's sort of friends with, he has great taste. ]

Mmm...

[That hum, purposeful breathing, and the click-clatter of his phone against his earrings is the only sound for a moment. Eventually, it seems he's thought it over enough to answer with confidence.]

He threw up. Did you know he's fifteen? I didn't know he's fifteen. I can't believe I'm fucking old.

[ Hm, yeah. Throwing up is always a bad time, and Kano hadn't really thought much about Maverick caring about age restrictions or not, because Yuya's about the same and he looked like he had a good time drinking and isn't that what matters? ]

Haha, does it matter that much? Did you think he was older than that? 'cause he's tall? How old did you think I was?

[ Somebody thought he was twelve........... he does nothing to refute that. ]

Like sixteen, seventeen...

[Unclear if that's meant to be Kano's age, Toki's, or both.]

Fucking matters when I'm fucking stupid and m'gonna die alone because I'm such a big fucking stupid idiot. [He wrinkles his nose and grumbles like that will erase what he just said out of existence. It wasn't the drinking at that age he took issue with, apparently.] Never mind, I'm real drunk. God, this is... [how many times is he going to say stupid, he asks while kicking himself]

[ Maverick does sound real drunk, but that's why Kano's going to keep him talking. People are supposed to be more open when they're drunk, or something, right? Yuya was chatty and cheerful, and it was when he was drunk that he'd asked Kano something about his childhood that he'd probably wanted to ask but never did out of courtesy. Without inhibitions, Maverick isn't any happier, though, something that makes Kano frown and want to prod. ]

It's like what? Nightfall's not going to be that soon, that you gotta worry about dying alone or not. Kinda hard when you're here and surrounded by so many people, isn't it?

[He was happy when he was texting to bother Kano and nothing more. Now he's gotta talk and everything is terrible.]

I mean... [HUFF] I know it's dumb to even think about this kinda thing, we're gonna die from Nightfall or this fucking school. Not like I should be wasting time, or that... That? Whatever. Cricket... I need what bullshit I'm gonna fucking say in a sec to never come up again, can you do me that?

[ Then hang up!!

Except now Maverick's the one rambling without saying anything, a stalling tactic Kano lives and breathes and he waits patiently until prompted. ]

Mm, yep! Cross my heart and hope to die! You can't see it 'cause we're on the phone, but I crossed my heart just now! Your deepest darkest secrets will die with me~
