estimated time of arrival

[suddenlybees]

How's anybody supposed to guess that?
Abbreviations are banned.

[deuteranope]

lmao stfu/gtfo

[suddenlybees]

OHHH we got a rulebreaker here!!
The penalty is +5 etas!!!

[deuteranope]

idefk wtf that's supposed to mean

[suddenlybees]

Alright, see, that's why it's confusing-
idefk = I def know????
+7 more etas for those two.

[deuteranope]

"I don't even fucking know"
I mean come on if there's an f in an acronym and I'm saying it, it's probably fuck-adjacent

[suddenlybees]

Isn't it more satisfying to type out the full fuck instead of abbreviating it?

[deuteranope]

no shit that's why I don't fucking do it, I just think your ban is fucking ridiculous

[suddenlybees]

Just swear to your heart's nonabbreviated content and neither of us have anything to worry about~

[deuteranope]

nope

[suddenlybees]

Boooo
Anyways, I'm almost there!
Jump up and down so I can see you and also which tree it is!

[deuteranope]

[wh...what...]

it's the one with the fucking ladder and rocks all around it you know which one it fucking is

[suddenlybees]

You stand out more and I'll see you first!
See if you can get up high and wave to me~
I want to know if the ladder holds, too!

[deuteranope]

[Kano..........this is why Toki doesn't want to be your friend anymore, except on a much smaller scale. Obviously.

Maverick will definitely be easier to pick out from the trees now that he's covered in paint.]

[suddenlybees]

Pft- hahaha...

[ Kano pokes his head out from behind one of the nearby trees. Of course he's here already, wouldn't want to miss front row seats to this. ]

How good, it worked~

[deuteranope]

For fuck's sake.

[for FUCK'S SAKE]

I need to fucking talk to you about something serious, asshat! What the fuck is wrong with you?

[suddenlybees]

Haha, that's a good question!! Here, here, I've got water stored, too, so just stand still a second so I can wash that off~

[ He goes around the other side of the tree, whereupon he hauls himself up onto the rudimentary platform. He can do this without any help, apparently. ]

[deuteranope]

[Ugh. The worst. The worst!! But Maverick isn't going to stand around waiting for this idiot to do some other weird thing, he's going to briskly walk over and reach up to either follow or grab onto Kano's ankle. Whichever is easiest.]

Hey, fucking just be still and listen to me.

[suddenlybees]

[ Grabbing Kano's ankle would be easiest, and would save Maverick the trouble of having water balloons dumped onto his head. Kano lets go of the branch and drops back down to the ground, wiping dirt and bark dust off on the sides of his pants. ]

What is it? Geez...

[deuteranope]

[Ah. He actually listened.

...Fuck.]

Uh.

[He got so distracted by everything else, he didn't...think about how exactly he was going to say this. He's not grabbing Kano's ankle, anymore, but...he does try to take his hand in one of his own.]

Mousie visited me yesterday. He wanted... [THIS SUCKS] He said he needed me to tell you, because you're fucking hard to talk to, and he'd just get confused into thinking shit was fine. But it's not, so I said I would.

[Things were super not fine between those two... Toki was just super not fine in general.]

It ain't healthy for him to be around you. He's super fucked up, and even if you make him forget about how shit things are sometimes, the rest of the time you aren't...helping. He wants to get help. So he doesn't want...to see you or talk to you anymore.

[suddenlybees]

[ ...What.

Really... what?

He wants to deny the accusations, laugh off the fact that Toki is indeed super fucked, but he's. He's being thrown away. He's being abandoned. Toki couldn't even come and say it to Kano's face himself. That's how little he cares.

The entire time, Kano stands in stunned silence, hand limp in Maverick's until the very end, whereupon he yanks his hand free and turns on his heels, dismissive mask of a smile immediately slamming up before he bites his bottom lip too hard to make any sort of illusion possible, because this is the only way he can deal. He can taste blood. He can numb himself too. This is fine. ]

...Message received loud of clear~ I gotta go now, so I'll see you later!

[deuteranope]

Cricket --

[He reaches out to catch Kano again, but in his haste -- both of their haste -- he can't get hold.]

Fucking -- shit, I know it fucking sucks, but I made you come out here for a reason! This is our spot, you're safe here, so don't fucking run away. If you're pissed, you can hit me; if you're sad, you can fucking cry. But I know you're feeling something, and this place isn't a fucking joke to me. Kano... I'm here. Let me be here.

[suddenlybees]

[ He feels the whiff of air by his hand when Maverick fails to catch hold of him, but as much as he wants to scream and cry and run away, he lets his feet shuffle to a stop, head down and teeth gritted. What good would hitting Maverick do; shooting the messenger isn't the answer, and he's got such a tremulous hold of his "friends" already. What good is crying, either, when it never helped in the past, when there was nobody to hear and nobody to help— Maverick is here, but he can't help. ]

Leave me be. I don't want to be here.

[ He mumbles under his breath, hoping Maverick doesn't catch any of that because then he can toss a "never mind~" over his shoulder and storm away like he had meant to. It's hard to breathe here. His chest hurts. He doesn't want to put a name to any of these emotions, because he doesn't want to make them real. ]

[deuteranope]

[Shooting the messenger isn't the answer, and yet the messenger's getting grazed by a bullet anyway. It hurts, knowing he helped make his friend hurt this way, and to hear that even though he'd just lost someone, he doesn't want someone else there for him. Not that...he can really blame him...

Instead of obeying, he clenches his hands into fists at his side.]

Where do you want to be? [He exhales, and he's grateful that the tremor stays there, rather than making his words crack.] I'll take you. Anywhere you wanna go, if I can get you there, doesn't matter how, I'll take you.

[He can't be alone right now. He can't, not how he wants, because Maverick would fucking hate it if anyone else did this to him, but unfortunately, he cares too much.]
