Ah, right we... we talked about that, yeah. That is tomorrow.

Uh, no! It’s okay. It’s not a... a thing, you know? As much as it’s just a full head feeling. Thinking full thoughts. Just swimmy.

I do know that I’m going to miss you, though, Ray. A whole lot.

Oh yeah? Need to talk about it or something? I mean. I’m probably going to contact MK tomorrow so…Best to lay it all on me now since I’m here and use my best friend powers to help.

[britea-boy]

Alright Ray! I’ll be out and around. It’ll be a bit before I get home, I think. Just... sort of got a head full, tonight.

Nah, it’s alright. I was only a few steps away when I realized. I can go back and get it fixed. I had no idea there were so many different kinds of salad. Bleck.

[britea-boy]

Aw, that sucks Ray. Would you like me to pick you up a new salad? I’m on a walk right now.

Where did you get a salad?

A Series of Interesting Duets

[britea-boy]

I DI D IT

[britea-boy]

Vav fights not to yelp when Mogar pulls him into a hug, his eyes wide and his face instantly blooming a bright red. He snaps out of his shock quickly enough though, quickly wrapping his free arm around Mogar, his heart beating rapidly in delight.

“You’re welcome, Mogar!” he chirps, unable to hide the cheer in his voice. He presses himself tight to the other man for a few long moments, willing to let Mogar be the first to break the hug. He looks up at him with a gleaming smile.  “I’m glad you like the stuff! After patrol I can walk you home and show you how the lava lamp works.” His eyes linger on Mogar’s lips, on his smile, and he feels his heart flutter just slightly. He really does love that smile.

Mogar feels a rush of relief when Vav catches on to his confusion, not sure he would have been able to explain his uncertainty properly. When Vav moves to open the bag he watches closely, making sure to remember how he does so. Next time he’ll know.

Then he just kind of takes a moment to process everything that’s inside it. The Lava Lamp causes a second of bewilderment until he recalls it’s purpose, and feels a small spark of excitement. The tin of cookies is examined and then momentarily dismissed, mostly because he’s not actually sure what it is. Which is fine, because all his focus is successfully snapped up as soon as he spots the rest of the contents of the bag. There’s a visible widening to his eyes, pupils dilating slightly as he shuffles the backpack carefully in his arms so he can reach in his free hand. Withdraws the plushie, examining it with some awe as a small but very evident smile begins to tug at the corners of his lips. “This is – wonderful! Thank you!” 

Vav has definitely earned a hug. Vav gets a hug. The backpack just kind of ends up squashed between them and it’s hard because they still have two hands that are connected. The bear man tries.

[britea-boy]

Vav blinks, not understanding for a moment what Mogar was asking him. His gaze drops down to the backpack and his expression lights with understanding. “Oh! The bag! Here, let me show you.”

Not releasing Mogar’s hand, Vav reaches up to nab the little metal zipper tab and pulls it to the right, causing the backpack to open, revealing the things inside. Those things include a red lava lamp, a tin of cookies, and various cow-themed toys -- a plushie, a little porcelain figure, and a little plastic toy, all colored like Mogar’s mother. Underneath that is also what looks like a cow patterned blanket of some sort. Vav looks up at Mogar happily. “I hope you like everything! The I got the blanket, it’s got a matching quilt too! I saw it and couldn’t help myself. I figured it would help when winter happens!”

Mogar doesn’t know what ‘sedated’ means, but assumes that since Hilda was involved it probably isn’t anything bad. Besides, it certainly sounds like it was done with Vav’s health in mind, so that’s alright. “Kazooie said Vav would need time to rest,” he says thoughtfully, and can’t help but think it certainly looks like the rest did him good.

When Vav darts off he looks only mildly perturbed, patiently waiting for him to return nonetheless. Which he does in short time, and Mogar accepts the backpack from him with some confusion. “Shopping,” he mouths to himself, then remembers with a small start that Vav had said a while back he had some gifts for him. Right, of course. “Mogar appreciates the gift. How does he…?” He gestures at it in slight uncertainty.

[britea-boy]

mogar and vav are super cute

// Thank you so much! That means a lot to me ;w;

[britea-boy]

Vav gives Mogar a gentle, sweet smile, squeezing his hand a bit. “It’s alright! I wasn’t much fun anyway. Hilda sedated me a lot because I got too jumpy and almost bruised my ribs more so I was pretty sleepy the whole time I was there.”

He bounces a bit on the heels of his feet, grinning widely. “Are you ready to patrol?” He pauses. “Oh wait! First --” Vav releases Mogar’s hand and turns to run inside. He comes back with a dark red backpack and hands it to Mogar. “Here are all the things I got you when I went shopping with mum! Her cookies are in there too, you should try one!” He slips his hand back into Mogar’s and continues his gentle bouncing.

When Vav reaches for his hand he doesn’t flinch at all, somehow having expected such a gesture. Perhaps he’d even been bracing himself for something slightly more dramatic, but this is just as well. So he squeezes his hand back gently and focuses on his face with a slow blink.

“Mogar missed the Blue One as well,” he replies, because he did. “He would have visited, but felt he should stay away. Give him time to recover,” he admits. Mogar had considered visiting Vav several times, but had always dismissed the idea out of desire to not bother him while he was recovering.

Not everyone recovers from severe injury in a day, Kazooie had helpfully reminded him many times.

[britea-boy]

Vav can’t help the smile that spreads across his lips when Mogar knocks at his balcony door. He knows it’s him, because who else would climb up there just to knock? Turning off the TV he’d left on for background noise, he bounds over to the balcony door and throws it open.

He can barely stop himself from throwing his arms around Mogar in an excited hug. He had realized how much he’d missed the other man til he had to go days without him. Nevertheless, the hug would probably be too much -- so he settles for reaching out to immediately lace their fingers together.

“Hi Mogar,” he says, smiling wide. “I missed you~!”

Taking a brief moment to let Kazooie know where he’s going and request she take over Mother watch, Mogar wastes no more time in bounding out of the forest. The past few days have been abnormally quiet, or quieter then he’s grown used to, so it’s nice to hear from Vav again. While he understands the other needing time to recover, he is unused to going so long without interacting with him.

It’s strange to think how quickly he’s grown dependent on him. Giving himself a shake to dismiss such thoughts he wastes no time hopping up onto the balcony and rapping his knuckles against the door. Because using the front door is for logical people. 

[britea-boy]

I wouldn’t mind! I’ll meet you outside the apartment.

Mogar can be there shortly, if the Blue One would not mind.

[britea-boy]

Yeah, Ray is staying home tonight because he’s still a little wobbly on his crutches. I think I’ll be fine! I wouldn’t say no to some company though.

The Blue One is going out on a patrol? By himself? Is that wise? 

[britea-boy]

I think so! I’m still having a bit of trouble breathing, but other than that, I think I’m okay! I’m even going out on patrol in a little bit!

Mogar is glad the Blue One and Green one are back in their nest. You are both recovering well?

[britea-boy]

X-Ray’s stay was extended from Friday to Sunday, so we both only just got home Monday morning. I ended up staying at Hilda’s the entire time he was gone... I didn’t seem to receive anymore tulips, so I feel pretty good about being home!

If a toy from Toy Story died, the kids wouldn’t know, and the other toys would have to watch the kids play with their corpses.
