Day 235 - Thursday, August 13th

[papalobo]

[...No answer? He waits.

Maybe he was insensitive with that one. But doesn't he have a right to protect his pride as someone who was dumped? He waits.

It's not like Ash is the only one he can't fuck. Blanca will come to mind as surely as Ash himself any time he tries not only with a partner (Haha. Ha ha ha ha. Real funny. Not into a humiliation kink so that ain't happening.) but even just trying to bust a quick nut to some porn or something. He waits.

He's done being gay, straight, anything. He's practically Eiji, now. He waits.

He waits, and he hopes Ash breaks off with Blanca, too. For such a sexy bastard, Ash leaves a lot of people in his wake Max is pretty sure will never fuck again. Eiij's not the best representative since he came in a virgin, but he's not a writer anymore, the details aren't so important. He starts to type a 'good night' that this time is properly, fully erased, and never sends. He sleeps.

By morning, Nima is up, showered, shaved, and going to pick up Max and the kitties because they're all going to have breakfast together. Ben doesn't quite think it's worth showing off with Ash's own cooking prowess, but the truth is he's a little proud of his capacity for pancake art cartoons and the fact that he can flip flapjacks really high in a pan. Rusty, for his part, is very proud of his ability to roll around in front of Ash and show off his stomach for pets.

When Nima returns with Max, she also has a very small parting gift, an oversized sleep shirt that reads 'World's Best Grandson'. It is just a sleep shirt, he's not expected to wear it in public but one can never have too many sleep shirts, she insists.

Rusty wants to smell the cats. Kuroneko is terrified of both the dog and his nose. Asher dutifully remains in front of Kuroneko and meows loudly in protest, which Rusty takes as a greeting and happily barks back. He tried to pull Ash to the cats, either because he thinks Ash needs to see them, or maybe because he wants Ash to take them out of the carrier so he can play with them. They are toys for him, right? Since he brought Ash his Santa last night?]

[papalobo]

[Max looks rightly confused at Ash's ability to apparently talk with cats.]

[jadedlynx]

[ It's Max's ability to miss it that seems more confusing. It seems pretty obvious. ]

You can stay with him as he settles in.

[papalobo]

Which one of us're you talking to?

[jadedlynx]

Kuroneko.

[papalobo]

Figured.

[Max mostly lingers around in his wheelchair, however.]

[jadedlynx]

I'll let you know when lunch is ready.

[papalobo]

[Still in his chair, not going anywhere, he picks up Kuroneko to stare at his face. Maybe he'll talk to him like he does to Ash, some kind of psychic sense making link?

Kuroneko, held beneath the front 'arms', only stares back.]

[jadedlynx]

[ He can't very well take the photos in front of Max. That's a bit too embarrassing. He'll already be sending photos, a vulnerable thing. To be seen doing it is too much... ]

[papalobo]

[He tries blowing in Kuroneko's face. The kitty doesn't mind. But Asher does not appreciate the bullying and moves to jump onto his leg, biting his knee.]


Ow. Fuckin' brat.

[jadedlynx]

... Why are you blowing in his face? What do you think happens then?

[papalobo]

Dogs do funny stuff when you do it.

[jadedlynx]

He's a cat. It might be hard to tell the difference, but that's definitely a cat.

[papalobo]

Well now we know for sure.

[jadedlynx]

I'll add flash cards for when I go shopping.

[papalobo]

Hey, unlike you, I've taken and passed college biology.

[jadedlynx]

I have, just not at an accredited college.

[papalobo]

Only thing that matters in most places is that paper.

[jadedlynx]

Asher seems pretty happy it means I'm not treating Kuro like a dog.

[papalobo]

He just don't like me.

[jadedlynx]

Asher?

[ The pictures are going to wait until later then. Time to focus on something else. He'll send a quick text to let them know they made it in okay before moving to the fridge. ]

He loves Kuro more than he hates anybody.

[papalobo]

They really are you and Eiji...

[jadedlynx]

What are you talking about? They're cats.

[papalobo]

Thanks for the clarification, Doctor Lynx.

[jadedlynx]

You seem to be having a pretty hard time with it.

[ Some pot roast sandwiches would work. ]

[papalobo]

[Max rolls along to linger, with cats in tow, watching.]

I'm saying you're a cat. You.
