[ having decided that meeting anthony half-way would be best for this particular... conversation, he walks a bit slowly, quite aware that his dorm was closer to the school than his friend-slash-goalie's house. (that and he would probably have to struggle with his mode of transportation for a while.) so instead of the usual ten minutes it takes him to arrive to this particular destination, he gives himself thirty, casually making his way to one of the benches underneath a tree.

takes a seat, pulls out his cellphone, then begins to check his messages as he waits; it would be at least another fifteen minute wait, one he was finally willing to be patient for. after all, he wasn't expecting much, anyway. when it came to feelings, expectations were the worst things to have, or so he had logically deducted throughout his childhood. besides, it wouldn't be the end of the world if anything negative happened. this was anthony, after all, the boy who clucked and bawked louder than he spoke or made any semblance of sense with his words.

... it almost made him second-guess himself. almost.

pockets his phone and tilts his head backwards instead, letting it rest against the top of the bench. just simply stares up into the branches and leaves of the tree, allowing himself to show a rare display of being lost in some non-thoughts for the time being. ]

NOT A KID'S GAME! It- it's a work of beauty! Kind of like Gundam but it goes pikachu!

Pikachu? Isn't that your little brother's name or whatever?

No, his name is Hiro. But he's Pikachu. And my little brother. And the bestest. . . est. . . ever.

[ snags those chips from out of his hands, swiftly opening the bag. crams a handful of them into her mouth. while chewing: ]

Sounds adorable.

[ reaches for the chips with a tiny whimper. ]

He i-i-iiis.

[ takes a chip out, pressing it against his lips. ]

Can I meet the little runt someday?

[ munches on it obediently. ]

If he wants. . .

Great! Can't wait. [ takes a drink of her beer. ] Hey, I'll invite your cap-i-tan over too when your little bro comes around again. We'll have a party!

Oka~a~ay. But I am cooking! Cap-i-tan has a menu.

Aw, you're being a little housewife already? I'm so touched that you're so taken with him!

I gotta! Or he turns green like a transformer.

Yeah! Yeah, that's exactly it! I know you've heard stories, but have you ever seen him get sick off of food? It's HILARIOUS. One time, when we were kids, he was at my birthday party and I lied and told him the cake was plain vanilla and-- [ suddenly, a lightbulb goes off in her head. jumps up and out of her seat. ] Oh! Oh, I know! I'll show you baby pictures of us!

B-BABY ROBOT?!

Yep! [ wanders off, rummaging around her room. a moment later she's back, flinging herself onto the couch and bumping shoulders with anthony. ] GOT IT!

[ opens to the first page, pointing to a picture of a little blond boy and girl. ]

This is me and your cap-i-tan when we were two! We had lots of play dates.

[ reaches over to poke at the cheeks of the pictures, as if he can pinch at them. ]

Baby robot. . . you used to look so normal. . .

Yeah, but he wasn't normal-normal. He was weird back then, too. [ flips the page, pointing to another picture. ] Here's Anne and Michel, right after she was born. Aren't they cute? He'd always waddle over to her crib to make sure that she was okay.

[ jabs at the picture. ]

Hah! Knew-- knew you cared!

[ nods a few times in agreement, wiggling a bit to grab her beer. sluuurp. finger presses on the next page. ]

And this is uuuus when we were getting ready for our first day of second grade! Look at his stupid little tie! He'd always dress so nice.

He should give that to Pikachu. . . we could adopt him! Give him all the hot water!

Maybe you can adopt him in the future. I mean, he likes you enough to come over here, right?

When I can pay for his sandwiches, I'll ask. . .

[ messes up anthony's hair again, snickering a bit. shows off the rest of the album slowly, letting the other get a good look at ~~the mini robot~~ michael. after they're finished: ]

Hey, I know! You can take any picture you want. [ hands it over. ] You don't have a photo of Michel yet, do you?
