An hour is entirely reasonable. He could take a turn for the worst or fall. He could bump his head and it might brain damage him and

Hmm. Eh. Maybe I'll just stay in. Just in case.

I asked, he won't tell. I keep trying, I'll get it out of him. Did you see that flute he keeps trying to hide?

[catchacold]

You'll come out with me. I get scared alone.

Yeah. Looks expensive. Not that I know what a cheap flute would look like.

[boilover]

FINE

I'll just check in. Once or twice

Looks pricey, he hoards it away to gotta be worth something.

[catchacold]

I'll wear tight jeans and support you being paranoid.

Could be sentimental value, these kids hoard all kinds of weird stuff. I guess he can play?

[boilover]

You're such a good boyfriend. Sorry I'm weird about the kid.

He can,i heard him, pretty damn good. He plays for Teddy. And sometimes he talks in like... Spanish? I think. Teddy loves it.

[catchacold]

I get it. I just think you need to take some time for yourself too. You're stressed.

Yes, Spanish. Teddy is copying it, he's not very good. But I don't know. See, I got a normal homeless kid, yours is a freak.

[boilover]

I know, it's just that I can't help it. He's so little and he's mine. I gotta worry.

I dunno if I want him knowing another language already. It'll confuse me! And come on, he ain't a freak. Yours is just a trainwreck

[catchacold]

I know. I still worry about Lisa too, it's normal.

Six languages? Tell me any non-freak reasons for some fifteen year old homeless white boy to know six languages. Also, don't worry, Teddy just likes it cause it sounds funny.

[boilover]

Me too. How's she doing lately?

So? He ain't supposed to be street trash like your boy is... or you know what I mean. Axel was born into this shit, literally. Hartley is all fancy, can't hold it against him.

[catchacold]

She hates me and wants me to die, currently, so pretty good. Par of the course.

I'm just saying, it's weird! Who finds a street kid like that? You're weird, man.

[boilover]

Oh yeah, seems about right. She still likes me.

You just found an annoyingly tragic rent boy and now you win all the time. I can't compete with that.

[catchacold]

That's because you are the good cop and I'm the bad cop. That's life. Maybe Teddy will like me better one day.

Hey, yours is tragic too. Just freaky.

[boilover]

Don't say that :( why would he hate me? I'm wonderful. I let him eat pudding so often.

He's a rich boy, beats out whore but I guess it has a great tragedy. Like what a downfall.

[catchacold]

Cause one day he'll be a teenager, sorry to say.

Right? It'd make for a great movie. You're coming, right?

[boilover]

I'm still trying to bully/threaten Axel into helping. I think it's worked though.

I'm free so tonight? Sevenish?

[catchacold]

I'll pick you up. What do you feel like doing?

[boilover]

Drinking

Fighting

Swearing

Suggestive content

Pretty much anything not PG or U

[catchacold]

Then that lines up with what I've planned.

Still legal though, I'm not getting you into trouble.

[boilover]

Good. I got ideas for legal jobs and shit, I just gotta do a little studying

Which I had.

Can you steal me qualifications?

[catchacold]

What do you need?

[boilover]

Adult maths and English

Lenny, I'm fucking dumb. It's embarrassing.

[catchacold]

The hell you are.

But I can probably see about something. Why the hell do you want that?

[boilover]

I couldn't spell embarrassing until my phone corrected it.

None of your business, I just want it.

[catchacold]

Ain't a measure of smarts, that.

You can do night classes, you know? I can get you into those.

[boilover]

I got a kid, I gotta be there for him at night.

He has to put down by me or he won't go down. Besides, I hate studying. I suck at it.
