“Could be. I haven’t seen any kids really.” Freya frowned, shaking her head. “It’s kind of weird. You’d think someone would have a kid around.” They reached the convenience store, and headed in , making their way towards the ice cream counter. “I wonder what flavors they have here. I’ve never gotten ice cream here.”

Ade shrugged, “Well...maybe people don’t have kids like us? Or maybe...people want to keep their kids away?”Ade hummed as they walked up to the counter. He looked over the ice cream choices. “I just hope the ice cream taste good.”

“Great, I’m sure he’ll love the pool.” He grinned at her and followed after her to the ice cream shop. “Man, they’re probably crowed with people trying to get cool.”

“I’m sure he will. I feel so sorry for pets with this heat. It can’t be easy with a natural fur coat. They can’t exactly take their clothes off like we could.” Freya grinned slightly. “They might be crowded, but they have some of the best ice cream in the area. I’m surprised no one around here has an ice cream truck though. They’d probably do really well.”

Ade nodded, Before he had left the house he had made sure the air condition was on in his room, with a nice cool bowl of water for the pup. “Hm, an ice cream truck would be amazing. But maybe there aren’t a lot of kids around?”

Ade chuckeld and nodded, “I know, I know. I’m just making sure that you know you don’t have to treat me.” He perked up a bit at the mention of the pool. “That sounds good. Oh…would you mind if I went back to get Marshmallow. I think he’d like a swim.”

“Ooh, yes! Bring Marshmallow!” Freya grinned, nodding. “The poor puppy is probably miserable in this heat.” She tugged Ade along. “Come on, ice cream can’t wait much longer. It might melt by the time we get there.”

“Great, I’m sure he’ll love the pool.” He grinned at her and followed after her to the ice cream shop. “Man, they’re probably crowed with people trying to get cool.”

[freya-rosewood]

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade nodded and wiped the sweat from his brow and he let out a sigh. “Ice cream actually sounds wonderful. But you don’t have to treat me if you don’t want…I got some cash.”

[freya-rosewood]

Freya shook her head. “Nope. As I said, my treat. Part of being my friend is that I’m going to spoil you on occasion, so you might want to get used to it.” She teased, hopping up to head for the convenience store. “After ice cream, you should stop by the house. The pool was looking pretty good this morning.”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade chuckeld and nodded, “I know, I know. I’m just making sure that you know you don’t have to treat me.” He perked up a bit at the mention of the pool. “That sounds good. Oh...would you mind if I went back to get Marshmallow. I think he’d like a swim.”

[freya-rosewood]

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

“I know!” Ade had never seen– felt, whatever– heat like this. He didn’t want to do anything. Just sit in the air conditioning and not move. But alas, things needed to be done today. He had only a tank top on, since a lot of stores don’t allow customers in without a shirt on, and had a towel drapped over his shoulders. Earlier it had been dosed in cold water but now it was covered in his sweat and kinda gross. “Wanna get some ice cream…or like, frozen yogurt or something?”

[freya-rosewood]

“It’s so miserable. It’s bad enough half of us are still sick, but does everyone have to suffer that much more?”  Freya groaned softly, humming. “Ice cream sounds so good right now. They have ice cream at the convenience store, if you want to head over. My treat.”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade nodded and wiped the sweat from his brow and he let out a sigh. “Ice cream actually sounds wonderful. But you don’t have to treat me if you don’t want...I got some cash.”

[freya-rosewood]

God, it’s so hot...

I think I’ve melted a bit.

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love - Ade & Mikey

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

He picked up Marshmallow, the puppy whining a bit at Michael. “Okay, if you’re sure.” He smiled over at Michael and nodded, “Of course. Just call me or something, and I’ll come running…or y’know.”

[storyteller-anansi-blog]

“I know you will, Ade.” And that was all the more reason Michael knew he needed to leave. Ade was just too kind and too understanding and too godamned forgiving. Michael’s own trainwreck of emotions just couldn’t handle it without wanting this to be something it couldn’t be. “I’ll see you later.” And with that, Michael left, forcing himself not to look back. He would work through this on his own without using his friend to numb the pain. Even if he wasn’t really sure where to begin.

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade waved, even though Michael wasn’t looking back at him anymore and shut the door. He stood there for a moment before sliding back to the floor. “Oh my god,” he mumbled to himself pressing his fingers to his mouth, heart racing all over again. Marshmallow just looked at him, head tilted slightly to the side and nudged at Ade’s leg. He paid the pup no mind. With Michael gone he ran through everything that had happened.

Josh was dead. Dead and gone, and Michael came to him for comfort. Even though something like that could just lead to a whole lot of hurt feelings down the line, it still made Ade feel giddy.

He frowned at that. This was going to be a mess to explain to Tristan. But…but he was sure that things would turn out for the best. He just didn’t want to lose anybody.

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love - Ade & Mikey

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade shook his head, dropping his head for a moment, a small smile pulling the left corner of his mouth. “It’s…it’s okay…he’s fine. And I’m okay.” He looked back up at Michael. “And we’re lucky to have each other, so don’t worry about it.”

[storyteller-anansi-blog]

Even though he’d managed to get himself together enough to talk without stammering, Michael was still mostly a mess. The conflicting emotions that had hold of him warned that he ought to leave. Finally feeling steady enough, he found his feet and pushed himself up from the floor. With one last glance to the puppy, Michael murmured, “I should get going.” Then, Michael looked back at Ade and added, “I’ll see you soon, though?”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

He picked up Marshmallow, the puppy whining a bit at Michael. “Okay, if you’re sure.” He smiled over at Michael and nodded, “Of course. Just call me or something, and I’ll come running...or y’know.”

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love - Ade & Mikey

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade smiled as he watched Michael play with the puppy. Puppies always make things better. Michael bringing up Tristan shocks Ade and he looked down at the ground. “I don’t know. He said…he said that the suits just…grabbed his and his brother and took them somewhere. He’s not sure what happened.”

[storyteller-anansi-blog]

That thought, that they’d just been taken and then deposited back in town should have been terrifying. It should have left Michael scared for everyone he cared about and himself. Instead, it only further enforced that he couldn’t trust the suits and, just maybe, that was why they wouldn’t let him see the body. He knew it was a long shot but Michael held onto that minuscule hope as the only thing holding him together.

Looking back up to Ade, a little more together, he apologized again, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. You put up with a lot from me. I’m lucky to have you…”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade shook his head, dropping his head for a moment, a small smile pulling the left corner of his mouth. “It’s...it’s okay...he’s fine. And I’m okay.” He looked back up at Michael. “And we’re lucky to have each other, so don’t worry about it.”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade nodded, “Yeah…he had his dog breed with, I don’t, some breeder and got first pick of the litter. So he gave Marshmallow to me. I named him though.”

[freya-rosewood]

“Makes sense.” Freya nodded, keeping her personal feelings about Michael to herself. It wasn’t Ade’s fault that Michael was a high strung dick sometimes. “He’s a gorgeous puppy too. He’s going to be a pretty dog. Aren’t you, Marshmallow?” She grinned, taking a bite of her burger.

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Marshmallow barked again, agreeing with Freya. “Yeah, he’s going to be a handsome one.” Ade wondered where he was going to keep him once he was fully grown. But he’d worry about it later. “Do you have any pets?”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade chuckled and when about fixing up his burger, leaving Freya the mustard. “Yeah…I’m glad Michael gave him to me.” Marshmallow dragged the stick back over to the table, barking softly.

[freya-rosewood]

Freya waited for Ade to fix his burger first, and leaned down, picking up the returned stick, giving it another toss for Marshmallow. “Michael gave him to you?” She asked, putting toppings on her own burger.

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade nodded, “Yeah...he had his dog breed with, I don’t, some breeder and got first pick of the litter. So he gave Marshmallow to me. I named him though.”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade sat his milkshake on the picnic table and found a suitable stick near the base of the tree. Marshmallow barked, rubbing against Freya and Ade laughed. “He likes you.” Ade whistled softly to get the pup’s attention before tossing out the stick, watching Marshmallow run after it.

[freya-rosewood]

“He’s a sweetie. I love him.” Freya giggled, nodding. She popped one of the waffle fries into her mouth with a hum. “Help yourself to whatever toppings you want for your burger.” She insisted. “As long as you leave some mustard and pickled for me. Those are mandatory for my burgers.”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade chuckled and when about fixing up his burger, leaving Freya the mustard. “Yeah...I’m glad Michael gave him to me.” Marshmallow dragged the stick back over to the table, barking softly.

And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love - Ade & Mikey

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

“Good.” That was all he could really ask for Michael to do. He waited there with Michael, figuring he’d move when he was ready and it would be rude to just leave him on the floor all by himself. At some point Marshmallow came bouncing over, nudging Michael’s legs softly and yipping.

[storyteller-anansi-blog]

Michael let himself get distracted by Marshmallow, petting the puppy until the ball of fluff was entirely in his lap. Trying to keep from any sort of conversation that might set him off again, Michael asked, “So, he came back? Where was he all this time…?”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade smiled as he watched Michael play with the puppy. Puppies always make things better. Michael bringing up Tristan shocks Ade and he looked down at the ground. “I don’t know. He said...he said that the suits just...grabbed his and his brother and took them somewhere. He’s not sure what happened.”

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade nodded, “Yeah, I’m so glad the summer is finally here. Especially after that terrible winter.” He shuddered at the thoughts of cold days and nights and so much snow. He followed Freya to the park, looking for something that Marshmallow could play with while they sat and ate.

[freya-rosewood]

“Yeah, winter was brutal this year.” Freya plopped herself onto a park bench under one of the massive oak trees. She reached down, to pet Marshmallow while Ade got situated. “Marshmallow! Who’s the cutest puppy here?” She cooed over the tiny dog before sitting up, and opening the box of waffle fries.

[adeeshuuntold-blog]

Ade sat his milkshake on the picnic table and found a suitable stick near the base of the tree. Marshmallow barked, rubbing against Freya and Ade laughed. “He likes you.” Ade whistled softly to get the pup’s attention before tossing out the stick, watching Marshmallow run after it.
