How does Barnaby meet Howdy in your modern human au? :0

oh, the entire "neighborhood" became friends in either middle or high school (except Eddie oopsies). Howdy ran a little 'underground market' (aka he sold stuff out of his locker or at his house, the goods varied) and Barnaby would often buy school supplies or, every so often, a cheat sheet from him. once or twice weed as well. but yeah they were also classmates a few times.

Howdy found Barnaby hilarious, Barnaby found Howdy to be excellent company, boom friends for life. Howdy didn't have many actual friends - just acquaintances and regulars, so Barnaby was his first real pal, and the "neighborhood" his first friend group! and only, technically

#and later on! lovers for life! also friends still just with an Added Facet!#but yeah in my mind howdy was socially adept just. bad at making friends #he prioritized The Grind and yk. could and Would scam his 'customers'#he tried to scam barnaby once but barnaby fully saw through him #and called him out on his bullshit in funny enough of a way that howdy wasnt insulted at all #Boom instant respect! barnaby is like the one guy howdy wouldnt scam from then on #rambles from the bog #wh modern human au #howdy has a lot of Lore in my mind...#reasons why hes so shrewd and finance-oriented!#why he speaks with a transatlantic accent despite being a 90s kid! etc!#listen i gotta find a way to realistically explain everyone's quirks and skills and traits in this au #since theyre People living Human Lives and not. puppets. artificially created characters
