Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

Not sure why I didn't think of that. [Probably because he doesn't have super hearing and was raised human.]

Okay. Makes sense. I bet Nightwake is super loud for you since it's like never asleep there.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

It's easy not to think of things when you're not bothered by them. At the very least, it's not a real problem, I just portal myself elsewhere. Unless I'm staying with Cole that night.

Red Son made me some noise cancelling headphones, so maybe things will change.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

That's cool. I'm sure they help. [Still this is giving MK some ideas. He can run them by Red Son at some point so Macaque can stay over at the house sometimes.]

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

[ Not even going to ask if Macaque wants to stay over there before you do this? Honestly when are people going to learn that he doesn't like surprises? ]

Hopefully so. Watching fireworks in the city will be a dicey prospect otherwise. [ One guess who he's doing that with. ]

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

Ooooooo~ I bet you're gonna have a lot of fun. [He grins. Oh he is sure he knows who invited Macaque. Such a good sign things are looking up for those two.]

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

Don't make that noise, it's not like that. [ This isn't so much a protest as a resigned statement of fact. ]

He was very clear about what he wanted. Or rather, what he didn't want.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

What do you mean? [Mk is puzzled now.] What do you mean what he doesn't want? Because he wants to spend time with you. That's a good thing, right?

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

[ Seriously? ] C'mon kid, you know what I mean.

It's not a bad thing that he wants to spend time with me of course, but it's not a big deal.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

[Sorry Macaque. He's not smart, remember?]

I don't though...

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

[ He picks the worst times to be dense. ]

I told him I still have feelings for him, he said he's not sure he could ever feel that way about anyone again, and he wanted to just be friends.

So any good-natured teasing about me and him isn't going to land like teasing, it lands like a kick to the head.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

[MK blinks and stares. Something about hearing that made his stomach squirm. That didn't sound right. He'll have to ask Monkey King.]

Sorry. I didn't know that. I won't tease you anymore about that. But I still hope you both have a lot of fun seeing the fireworks.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

[ He was sort of expecting a very MK reaction there, something along the lines of "are you okay?" but Macaque supposes he wouldn't have an answer anyway. ]

I'm sure we will. You know how he is.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

[He knows the answer would be either a non-answer, a don't know, or might be a no and then where would they be?]

Excitable, cheeky, and adorable. Yeah.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

[ Having something like an honest conversation? (Non-answers can be honest.) ]

Contagious.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

I mean, I guess that works too. [He chuckles.]

You'll have a blast.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

Of course it works. I've known him for ages, I know what I'm talking about. [ Even while he was newly revived and bitter, he was never untruthful. ]

We'll see. That depends entirely on how the headphones work. But I doubt Red Son would set me up like that if he wasn't confident, I'm quite sure he prefers being on my good side.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

He also hates it when his inventions don't work. So I can tell you he's tested those to the Celestial realm and back before giving them to you.

You'll be good. [He nods and hopes things do go well. But Mk also feels like they need a change of subject.]

So when is your birthday?

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

[ That is a left turn Macaque did not anticipate. ]

Uh... I don't really remember. It was an extremely long time ago.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

You can pick one. That's what Dadsy and I did since he didn't know my birthday. Just sayin'.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

I wouldn't know where to begin.

And if I did then I'd have another occasion where I need to feel weird about gifts, but in that case there's no reciprocity.

What did you pick? [ Because he's a huge hypocrite who will absolutely get MK something. ]

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

What you're giving everyone else is a chance to celebrate with you. If that helps.

We picked the day he found me as my birthday. That way we both knew when to celebrate.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

Makes sense.

[ He's really not sure about this. But... ]

If you promise never to throw me a surprise party of any kind, you can pick one for me.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

Oooo. That's a tough deal. Can I throw you a party as long as you know it's coming? Just wanna check because I got a good date in mind.

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[castaside]

If I approve the guest list and location and almost everything else about it, you might be allowed to throw a very small party. And no conspiring with anyone else to bypass any of that. [ Spirit and letter of the law! ]

Re: Christmas Day - Delivery

[noodleboi]

You got a deal. [Mk holds out his hand for a shake. Such a good deal. Because if anyone else throws a surprise party and he has nothing to do with it, he's not in trouble. Yay.]

Your birthday should be September 23rd. The start of Autumn.
