#[[yes YESY ES YSYEYSSSSSS

[whirling-fangs]

Painted fingernails glimmer over the radio button; the bass stops rumbling under the back seats as Douma finally turns the music down just enough for his voice to be heard. It's an open road, without much traffic, so the speed meter is almost at its top.

" Yeah. Yes, I took him to the doctors today. No, turns out it wasn't rabies, so, you can tell Mei-Mei not to worry about the bite. " Mobile wedged between his chin and shoulder, Douma has been chatting up his various girlfriends incessantly during the ride. His erratic driving only makes the experience that much more stressful.

" Hm? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I might drop by tonight. I just need someone to watch him for me. ... what ? Babe! Are you out of your mind? Haha giiirl you're so crazy! Do they even have a kiddie pool at the party? ... Yeah he can swim... ? I think so. " Prismatic eyes momentarily snap to the rear view mirror, just as Douma makes a sharp turn that would most certainly shake his backseat passenger a little.

" Inosuke? Hello? Earth to Inosuke? " He chews a smile, briefly addressing the woman on the line. " Girl, stop! Staaaahp, I told you he's not slow! He just hasn't been properly socialized, the poor thing. " But he was cackling alongside her all the same.

" Inosuke would you like to go to a party with me later? There will be music! And a pool! And I'm pretty sure- babygirl, do they still have that petting zoo in the backyard? Oh, really! Inosuke! There will be a petting zoo! " He pauses, as the girl on the phone is barely heard laughing about something. Douma visibly restrains his own smile, then.

" ... and lots of food, goodies, stuff like that. You can wear that one-piece I got you. You'll look soooo cute in it~ "

(( cursed modern verse :D ))

Granted, Inosuke had found the speed to be rather amusing at first. The way the landscape zoomed past the car's windows was rather exhilarating, but the grating voice cackling on top of the engine's roar had gradually taken the fun out of this little outing.

He was still rather grumpy about the entire doctor ordeal. Cotton sticks shoved into his mouth, and he wasn't even allowed to bite the doctor's gloved fingers off. All of this for absolutely nothing in the end. When the doctor came back with the results, Inosuke was rather disappointed to hear that he had failed whatever test they'd been running.

That bitch had deserved the bite, anyway. Her fault for grabbing his cheeks without a warning.

Inosuke chuckled to himself at the memory of the woman writhing and screeching in agony, while prismatic eyes watched the scene with an unreadable expression that Inosuke hoped was shock and horror. There was no way to tell what this bastard was really thinking.

The sound of his name tore the boy away from his contemplations. His raised middle finger would be the only answer Douma would earn at first.

If hell was a place on earth, it had to be at this party thing.

"... pools are stupid. If I want water, I can just get it from the tap or the river. Loud music sucks. And zoos are dumb too. Animals aren't s'posed to be kept in cages, you moron."

A quick glare of the boy's emerald eyes, piercing into the rearview mirror with the clear intent to shatter it out of sheer will. He wasn't about to mention that he couldn't sleep, and that the mere thought of deep waters made his chest tighten.

"I'm only coming for the food. If a single of your bitches even touches me, I'm eating their entire hand this time. And I'm wearing whatever I want!"

He pulled on the strings of his hood, allowing his face to further disappear into its shadow, his nose diving into the collar to better keep the pungeant smell of smoke out of his nostrils. Boar ears comically flopped on top of his cranium at the pull on the hood's fabric.

"... the purple old man's gonna be here too, right? I'm not coming if he's not."
