(woo!)
“Oh, true- uh- well, let’s just say they caught somebody- I won’t say who, but it was Abe- sneaking up their fire escape because he forgot his key.” Danny continued to gnaw on the skewer. “It’s just kid shit, though. We all did it as teens. But they won’t go through with it, it’s just empty-ass threats.”
Alex nodded slightly. "Ah. Right. Okay." he replied slowly. He took a sip of his drink.
“Still kinda annoyed with it, though.” Danny sighed. “Again, kid’s a fuckin’.. kid. 16-ish. Young as fuck.”
"Right. I get that." he shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not siding with the neighbors. I just don't get why the dude used the fucking fire escape instead of just knocking on the door?"
“Our building’s door is fucked up. Doesn’t open sometimes. I swear to god it’s cursed.” Danny shook his head. “But’cha can’t get it open.”
"Oh, alright." he replied, nodding. "Couldn't he have…like, called or something, then?"
“Phone got broke when it fell off a car.” Danny explained. “But.. the fire escape was just kinda his best way in, y’know?”
(i gtg soon)
He nodded again. "Yikes. But…yeah, I get it." he took another sip of water, sighing softly.
(mk, gn)
“Aaanyway, I think I’m gonna file a complaint with the witch coven under out apartment, ‘causes they’re being gaping cunts right about now.”
He blinked, staring at Danny for a long moment. "Uhm. May I ask what exactly you mean by that?" he asked slowly, raising his eyebrows.
“They called animal control on Harley ‘cause he was chewin’ ‘em out for puttin’ a.. like.. I dunno what the fuck it was. They drew some shit on our door and said they put our names in a ‘sour jar’, whatever the fuck that means.” Danny rolled his eyes. “I dunno. Maybe karma or whatever’ll get ‘em.”
He grimaced. "Ew." he shook his head. "Here's hoping karma gets 'em." he took a sip from his glass, a faint smile on his face.
“I’ll drink to that, ‘cause otherwise I will.” Danny grinned again, taking the skewer piece from his mouth to assess the damage before going right back to chewing.
He snorted softly, and set his glass down. "Danny, don't cause more trouble for yourself."
“I’m jus’ sayin’!” He yapped, his voice hitting a soft peak in pitch.
He nodded. "Alright. Just…use your head, yeah?" he replied, smiling gently.
“..Yeah.” Danny grumbled, crossing his arms. “I guess I won’t throw a molotov through their window. Yet.” He added under his breath.
"Danny." Alex admonished, wrinkling his nose at Danny and shaking his head.
“What! I said not yet! That’s gotta count for somethin’!” Danny huffed again, unable to conceal a smile.
"How about not ever?" Alex replied, looking over at Danny. The corner of his mouth twitched in a faint little smile.
“..I’ll think about it. That’s a little extreme.” Danny was smiling before, but he had broken out into a full-on grin. Nothing was even all that funny, he was just.. thriving off of the social interaction.
He laughed a little bit, smiling as he shook his head. "Mhm. Just a little." he replied, looking over at Danny.
“But enough about me and my hopes to one day light up my neighbors’ place.” He snorted. “You got any issues with yours lately?”
He chuckled. "My…neighbors?" he asked, then shook his head. "No, not really." he shrugged, taking a sip of water.
“Damn, your building must be boooring.” Danny laughed, stretching and tilting his head back so the ice wouldn’t fall off without his hand to hold it there. “Nothin’?”
"Nope. I mean…there Is the neighbor that, I swear to god, must have been having an orgy or something the other night, but…that's not that bad." he shrugged, laughing softly.
“That’s somethin’ to hear, yeah.” Danny snorted. He crossed his legs, putting his hand back on the ice pack. “I’m surprised I never had to listen to somethin’ like that from my neighbors.”
He laughed softly, shaking his head. "Yeah, it was…interesting. I ended up turning on a movie nice and loud to try and cover the noise."
“Modern problems require modern solutions, eh?” Danny grinned. “Smart thinkin’. I probably woulda just left at that point.”
"I didn't really wanna go out. I was in my pajamas and I would have had to get dressed. So I just turned the volume up really fucking loud."
