for onthebench

[madasmax]

( from here )

( Several minutes go by, and it seems like Max isn't going to respond, until finally a message comes through: )

Yeah alright sure.

It's gotta be better than falling asleep in the middle of a diner, anyway.

Re: for onthebench

[onthebench]

I'd hope so. I mean there are pillows and everything.

[madasmax]

Wow, pillows, now there's a concept.

Seriously, though. Thanks, I owe you.

[onthebench]

It's not a problem. It's a big house. You're welcome anytime.

[madasmax]

Yeah what do you need with such a big house anyway?

You might end up regretting saying that, I just might end up squatting.

[onthebench]

Guess you'd have to ask my parents that question.

We could make a whole thing of it. Movies and junk food and shit.

[madasmax]

Yeah, I think I'll pass.

That...actually sounds kinda nice.

[onthebench]

Figured.

Yeah, it does. Let me know what snacks you want. I can pick you up.

[madasmax]

Well, popcorn obviously. Maybe some M&M's?
Would you? I mean, I'd skateboard all the way there but I don't think my mom likes the idea of me going off on my own after everything.

[onthebench]

Popcorn and M&M's for sure. Gummy worms?
Yeah it's not a problem.

[He also 100% hates the idea of her being out on her own after everything. Hates the idea of any of these kids being out on their own.]

[madasmax]

Gummy worms, too, good call.
Cool. So I'll see you soon?

( Don't mind her acting cool and aloof about it all, despite secretly being eternally grateful that Steve would even want to hang out with her. It's a little bit like feeling as if she's got an older brother, only with way fewer headaches that came with Billy. )

[onthebench]

Yeah. See you soon.

[He doesn't mind. He knows all about the need to play it cool and aloof with people.]
