[ Kano gets decked in the face and crumbles to the ground, because that's what he deserves. ]

[deuteranope]

[He adjusts to better assess whether he should be fighting or flighting against this assailant, and...]

Oh, shit. Cricket! What the fuck!

[it shouldn't be the guy that's been drinking picking someone else up off the ground??? Now he has to be embarrassed about Kano sneaking up on him and guilty over punching him out.]

Fucking idiot, stupid fucking bastard...

[suddenlybees]

Haha, ouch...

[ He lets Maverick do all the work of hauling him up without bothering to find his footing until he's almost straight upright, one hand to his nose that isn't bleeding, and that's a good thing because he never did figure out how to heal things that aren't other people. His cheek stings, though, how nostalgic. ]

Morning, Mav!

[ It's almost four o'clock, maybe. ]

[deuteranope]

[Phew... At least he's still Kano. Mav reaches up to inspect his nose, realizes he's still got his phone in that hand, hangs up, and uses it as a light to better examine the damage. Not too bad, thankfully. He's not sure how quickly he can throw an illusion up, though... Mm.]

Hey. What're you doin' out here...?

[suddenlybees]

Ack—- [ The light hurts more than his face, really, and he squeezes his eyes shut and pulls his hood up when it passes over his face. Everything looks fine. No bruising at all.

He's quick to duck out of the way, though, hands in his pockets to accentuate a shrug. ]

I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd come over to say hi~ And maybe walk you home?

[deuteranope]

[Satisfied, he lowers the phone and proceeds to stare blankly at Kano. He's such...a weird guy, that cricket. Then, slowly, a lopsided grin curls.]

Sure. Like I could fucking stop you anyway, right?

[HE HAS A FRIEND THAT WORRIES ABOUT HIM AND WANTS TO WALK HIS DUMB ASS HOME AND THEY'RE FRIENDS, THEY'RE REALLY FRIENDS]

[suddenlybees]

[ Gross mushy bracket text, it's a good thing Kano can't read minds— or he'd be embarrassed and would turn around and walk away, probably. But he can't and he's just happy to see that stupid smile on Maverick's face, the one that he's seen plenty of times when he's Nekano but so so rarely when he's just himself, and that feels good too. ]

Hehe, damn right you can't stop me~

[deuteranope]

[That’s the correct response. Anyway, time to get going again!!]

...Hey, you like spicy food?

[suddenlybees]

[ ...He can't tell whether that's a genuine question or a challenge, so ]

Yes?

[ No. His nose will run and he will probably cry, because he has the palate of a five-year-old. ]

Why?

[deuteranope]

[would it kill you to be slightly honest]

Because tomorrow morning I will die if I don’t get some eggs in hell from work.

[suddenlybees]

[ Yes he will literally die ]

He~h, am I being invited over for a hangover breakfast? At noon?

[deuteranope]

[seems fake]

Probably more like 9 or 10 so I can be sufficiently not-fucking-dying in time for work...but yeah. You in?

[suddenlybees]

Yep, I can do that~ I'll stop by your place at nine!

[deuteranope]

[whaaaaat... Mav lightly knocks his shoulder.]

You can just stay over! Don’t be fucking stupid.

[suddenlybees]

Ehh... I was in the neighborhood, right? If I stayed over, I wouldn't be able to sleep anyways, so there's no reason to.

[ It's still weird, sleeping in other people's houses, with other people in the same room. ]

[deuteranope]

[:(]

Crickeeet. But then you’ll be the one going ‘round on your own at night! I’ll play MASH with you again...

[come ooover friend]

[suddenlybees]

[ Yeah, but he's not drunk and he also goes around as a cat most nights because people ignore stray cats and don't pick them up and throw them into vans.

He's surprised, though, that Maverick even remembered MASH enough to bring it up again. ]

We'll play MASH? Really?

[ He would come over for MASH...... ]

[deuteranope]

[But he’s tiny and doesn’t scrap like Mav does!!]

Mhmm. [He mostly remembered it because he was confused about it That next morning and read it over again, but the point is he remembered!!] If that’s what it takes.

[suddenlybees]

[ Maybe don't scrap with people if you're just as tiny as Kano is!! ]

Hmmmmmm... alright, fine!! I'll stay over for MASH and spicy eggs and orange juice!

[deuteranope]

[But it’s fun...]

Yay~ [He wearily pumps a fist in victory, grinning again. Kano is staying over!! The decision is reached just in time, too, because they’re turning onto the right street for the apartments now.] I officially forgive you for the “go out with Toki” thing, then.

[suddenlybees]

[ Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't like getting stabbed

Anyways, he lowers his voice just a little when they round the corner, just a little bit ]

Heh, I'll take that forgiveness~ Next time, take me out for drinks instead! You can buy me a milkshake!

[deuteranope]

[Because he's suggestible and it's the natural human reaction, Mav lowers his voice when Kano does. We're being a little quieter now, okay, he sees. Yes.]

Assume you want a regular milkshake, not a boozy one, huh?

[suddenlybees]

Ew, why would you ruin a milkshake with booze...

[ a five-year-old's palate ]

[deuteranope]

Because~ Adults are sad and want to drown their sorrows with poison~

[He says it so whimsically, too. But anyway, since he sees they're almost there, he half-jogs the rest of the way and begins the arduous task of checking all his pockets for keys, then squinting at the lock like that's going to make his aim any better. Key...go...in...]

[suddenlybees]

[ If they're sad, just drink the milkshake by itself and be happy, that's what milkshakes do for you.

Kano hovers over to the side and stares as Maverick makes his valiant attempts to scratch up the lock without getting the key in. Kano could help, yeah, but no. ]

You can do it, Mav. You almost got it. I believe in you.
