“It’s good to build friendships in the game because you get more perks and such and unlock story lines. For some reason I get joy out of pixelated characters being happy.” Kevin sighed. The jargon he spoke about video games was foreign to others and he appreciated Fangs listening and actually engaging with him. “I’ll allow it. There’s so many words that you’ll realize you didn’t need to learn. A lot of them are very sexual too. Several pokemon names have been ruined for me.”
“Yeah. I think we are all getting along slowly but surely. She’s one of the few vixens besides B and V that aren’t fake. Cheryl too but she has her moments.” Practices were another busy activity that he added to his schedule along with his gossip column and podcast. “I can be professor Kevin. Don’t know if it’s morally right considering I’m sleeping with one of my students - that actually may be a 12 year old fantasy of mine come true. College-aged though, not talking about the Archie situation.” Kevin’s dark humor often slipped out of his mouth and he covered it right after. “Wow…that..was actually really mean I’m really sorry.”
Kevin didn’t mind helping, he actually enjoyed it because he got to spend a lot of time with Fangs. “Seriously, it helped you and I got to spend time with you so no thanks are needed. You’d do the exact same for me..and tutoring you has been working though I get distracted and have my hand down your pants within 30 minutes.” That was a reference to the first time they were supposed to be studying and the many times after. “I’ve never rode a motorcycle before but I’ll give it a try.” There was also a wonderful photo opportunity to be made that Fangs was going to have to take for him. He chuckled with Fang’s hands over his jaws.
“Yeah I was angry at first but I really saw how happy he was with Attorney McCoy.I honestly thought my dad was like me but on the DL for a while when he was with my mom. But..even my mom noticed it apparently.” It was easy to open up with Fangs, and Kevin practically told him everything. “It’s Riverdale, I guess no one can have a perfect family like we wish.” He shrugged, joking but being serious. “And..thank you for being so supportive and listening to me..it feels good that someone cares that I’m dating.” He looked into Fangs’ eyes, pushing their lips back together when they were finished the first time. “He’s excited about it, he really wants to help out the SouthSide. OH..I actually..forgot to tell you..my dad actually wants us to have dinner together at Pops.Is that okay? I haven’t given him an answer because I wanted to ask you first.”
“Oh, that makes sense. Sounds like there’s a lot built into it for it seeming like a really simple looking game.” Fangs didn’t play video games, but that didn’t keep him from being interested. And he’d learned a lot about some of them from Kevin, he probably would have liked them if they could afford it when he was younger. “Oh boy, well that’ll be a fun while. You’re going to start hearing a lot of unnecessary words from Sweet’s mouth after this. Oh, speaking of Sweets, when I’m not here it looks like I’ll be crashing over at his place, we’re even talking about getting a trailer and being roommates.” He hadn’t exactly explained what his living situation was, but Kevin hadn’t dropped him off at the same place twice whenever he’d give him rides ‘home’, so Fangs assumed it was silently understood that he didn’t have an actual home.
“Cheryl is definitely a character, but she’s not that bad.” If she wasn’t a Serpent and hadn’t helped save Toni, Fangs was sure he wouldn’t say anything nice for her. But she was family now. “Now that’s a fantasy I can get on board with.” Fangs smirked. “Don’t apologize, those kinds of jokes are right up my alley. Lucky for you, morals aside, I’m perfectly legal.” He spoke in a low tone, voice sounding a little rougher.
He found himself letting out a small laugh at the comment about their studying habits. “I don’t think I’ll ever fully take studying seriously when you’re my tutor, but you kept your promise of not letting me fail. It’s nice that we can do even the boring stuff together, even if we, well, get bored and have to make it more fun.” He quirked an eyebrow and gave a small smile. “So, small warning, that’s my baby-” In reference to his bike. “so we’ll do a little easy ride- in preferably grass so neither of you get hurt.”
“McCoy is good people, she took me on as a client while I was in jail. It’s never great to learn about a situation like this, but like you said, at least he’s actually happy in his relationship now. How’s your mom doing?” He usually didn’t talk about anyone’s family details with anyone but Sweets and even that was kept simple, only tidbits of information at a time as to not come off dramatic, but Kevin was much more open which in turn seemed to make Fangs reciprocate. “Of course I care, you don’t have the greatest track history when it comes to dating, huh?” Fangs asked, being pulled back into a kiss. “Southside could use the help.” He admitted when he had the chance. “Really? Uh, yeah-yeah that would be alright. I mean, good, that would be good-nice?” He stumbled over his words and let out a loud breath. “Sorry I uh, guess I don’t know how much he knows about me.. us. Never did the whole dinner with the ‘rents thing.”
