Chloe let out a small sigh of relief. “Alright, I’ll try and bite my tongue, scouts honor,” She said tossing up her fingers in a scout salute. Honestly, the idea of waking up to more than a bowl of cereal, eggs, or a poptart was too enticing to turn down even if she was going to be grilled. She could handle it for a home cooked meal. Chloe shook her head, her steps slowing for a brief moment as they approached Kai’s car. It wasn’t the fact that it was a little dingy and dirty. She wasn’t one to judge on that, but the screwdriver concerned her. Still, she got into the car anyway. It had gotten him here, so it would probably get both of them back to his house. Still, she found herself, white knuckling the door handle just in case. “Not happening. I’ve been growing it out for years, I’m not messing it up for your impulses.” Chloe nodded, wincing slightly as the door slam cut through the night. With shoes deposited at the front door, Chloe followed Kai back into his bedroom again. “Not happening,” Chloe sing songed, shifting the shears away from her. There wasn’t a dollar amount he could put on this to get her to agree to shaving even a single part of her head.

“Hey now, it’s not an impulse I’m having. I just think you’d look badass with an undercut,” he said. “Did you have it shaved before? Or was it just super short?” It was late, and Kai was curious. He had gone through various hair styles and colors before he found what he called his signature look. Crossing his legs underneath the blanket, Kai looked at Chloe across the room. It was late, but Kai didn’t go to work until noon tomorrow. He didn’t know what Chloe’s schedule looked like, but if she was willing to be up this late, she probably didn’t have a 6 AM appointment. “So what else haven’t you done?”

“She might not be scary to you because you’re her boy, but mothers do crazy things for their sons all the time.” Ofelia knew first hand the length a mother would go through, she’d very nearly ended up with a mother in law from hell. “But thank you, your papa I think I can win him around and sweet talk my way through that one.” At his question she laughed, her head nodding slowly. Were people jealous of his name on her ass? Well that was one way to put it for sure. “Just one person, yea.” The woman mused as he continued and managed to draw more a snort from her. “Oh god yea the two of us together? The bone structure combination would be such a threat. No one would have been able to compete.”

He let out a soft chortle, knowing full well that his father would absolutely adore Ofelia before she even spoke a word. “I haven’t had the experience of meeting an insane mother, but I’ll take your word for it,” Kai grinned. He wasn’t into dating, at least seriously, so the act of interacting with parents hadn’t been a factor in his life for over fifteen years. “One person?!” he laughed in disbelief. “They could’ve gotten a custom Kai-ass tattoo as well. I wouldn’t have been pissed off in the slightest!” It was nice to be with Ofelia, to make her laugh-- that was the most important aspect of friendship in Kai’s eyes. “The jawline of our imaginary kids could cut open rocks, honestly,” he continued. A brief pause before he smiled curiously. “...So who was jealous of your beautiful tattoo?”

Chloe passed the spray paint can back to him, eyes glancing back at her childish handiwork every once in a while. She could finally see the appeal of the rebellious teenage phase that she never went through. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to make a more regular thing of spending time with Kai. Maybe it could be good for her to get to experience a little bit of the life she had missed out on. Focusing back in on Kai’s offer, Chloe almost laughed. “As long as she doesn’t start to ask me about my intentions with her son, I think that sounds like fun.” She grabbed at the hair that hung over her shoulder in a clean braid. “But, you are not touching a single hair on my head with scissors or shears.” She was down for random tattoos, and spray painting things that could easily be painted over. But, shaving her head is where she had to draw the line.

Kai burst out in laughter, knowing well that his parents had given up all hope of ever having a grandchild-- let alone a daughter-in-law. “As long as you don’t tell her your intentions are to tag up the town, I think she’ll be pleased to see someone that isn’t Aless,” he teased. Mama loved Aless like a son, which meant that she also fed him like a son and chastised him like a son. Seeing a different face would probably be great for her health.

“I can do an undercut,” he attempted to negotiate. Reaching his car, Kai pulled a screwdriver out of his pocket and tossed his bag in the back. “Sorry ‘bout the shithole,” Kai said before he sat in the drivers seat, leaned over and popped open the other door for her. It was second nature for Kai to use a screwdriver to start his car, so much so that he forgot how it could appear to other people. “Back to what I was sayin’, I could do an undercut on you. If you hate it, you can wear your hair down to hide it, and you can curse me out every day,” he grinned over at her.

Once they had arrived at his house, Kai made a mental note that his parents were probably asleep. “Shoes off when you come in,” he said quietly, but negated that softness by slamming the car door. Kai liked the way his night with Chloe had gone; it was relaxing. Easy. Surprising, really! She didn’t chastise him or tell him he was immature, she just...let him exist. Bursting through his bedroom door, Kai grinned at his fishtank and grabbed an extra blanket for himself. “You can take the bed and I’ll sleep over here,” he planted himself in a beanbag. “My buzzer is on the nightstand if you change your mind,” brows wiggled mischievously.

Chloe thought about the explanation, nodding a little bit. She couldn’t find any sort of reasonable argument for that. He had found a way to express himself in a way that let him get out and see a little more of the town. Paint could be removed and painted over. Who was she to judge him for one harmless act. Chloe watched him work, almost impressed by the accuracy with how he worked. She crouched down herself, a pace away from where he had spraypainted Guppy, and tucked the mask over her own face. She didn’t allow herself a moment of hesitation, and she did her best to make a legible painting of “Froggy”. She finished, taking a step back to examine the work. It wasn’t anything to write home about, the paint a touch runny, and sloppy gs whose tails interwined. But, she could see the appeal, suddenly. A little mark on the world, whether it stayed there for days or months. She pulled the mask down to sit under her chin. “Alright, you got me. It’s fun.”

Kai remained in his squat position, feeling intense glee run up and down his body as Chloe made her first mark. Between the mask and the darkness, Kai couldn’t tell if she was enjoying herself, but she was still here. That was what counted, wasn’t it? As she took a step back, Kai turned and nodded in approval. “You did it!” Pulling his own mask down, his teeth were luminescent in the nighttime. “It looks sick,” he encouraged, hoping that they could go out and mark up the town more often.

He began packing up his bag, not wanting to leave anything behind that could incriminate them. “So, I know we came here separate,” a soft grunt as he zipped his bag closed, “but if you wanted to spend the night with me and my fish, I’m sure Mama would make us a killer breakfast. Fried eggs, salmon...probably some tea and coffee,” Kai could feel his mouth watering as he thought about it. “I could shave your head too, if you really wanted.”

Chloe fell in time behind him, a nervous glance around every once in a while. She didn’t know how good he was at this, or if they were going to be caught red handed. She still wasn’t sure if she could trust him not to throw him under the bus. She just hoped she had made the right decision, because if Aless couldn’t answer her texts, he certainly wouldn’t be bailing her out of jail for vandalism. Chloe sat across from him, peering into his bag of tricks. Sure enough, it was a cluttered mess that fell out of his bag. The spray paint rocked on the steps, the little ball clanging against the side of the can. She glanced back up at him as he took a sip of whatever was in his flask. She took her own shot from the flask, and picked up the green spray paint can. “So, what about this is so fun for you exactly?” She asked, as she followed him up the steps.

“Whatd’ya mean?” he asked. “I get to be outside, I get to find new places...,” a small shrug. Kai didn’t need a lot to be satisfied with life, though he had a sinking feeling of where Chloe was coming from. “It’s pretty much free, too. Sometimes I run out of cans, but it’s not like I’m out here makin’ murals or anything.” he took a deep inhale as they reached the top of the bridge. The moon was illuminating their surroundings and Kai threw up a quick ‘thank you’ to the sky as he began to shake the can. “Watch me.”

Kai threw a mask on over his nose and mouth as he bent down into a squat. Slowly, he drew a G...U...P...P...Y.. in his signature style. “You just wanna kinda let the paint do its thing, y’know?” Kai looked back at Chloe, wondering if she could see him smiling under the mask. “C’mere,” he motioned, taking a small step off to the side. “Pick a spot and just...go.”

“If you had told me you were in need of snacks I would have brought you something I had made.” She wouldn’t have to look too hard to find something she had stored, at very least she’d have things to whip up in no time. “Well your mother now knows pretty much everything except my social security number, she’s scarier than I was expecting.” The woman mused with amusement before the male continued and she heard the familiar name. “Oh yes…well speaking of and given you had to audacity to go through we letting me tattoo your name on my ass. I might owe you your month back ask it’s now covered and was about five days after it was done.”

He shook his head, baffled that she would even suggest such a thing. She was his guest! It was his job to provide snacks, and if anything, Mama would find a reason to come outside and offer to cook for them. “Mama? Scary?” Kai had to laugh. She might’ve been disappointed in Kai at times, and they might’ve struggled together as he grew up, but scary was the last word he would’ve used to describe his mother. “I’ll have her go to the store next time you come over, that way it’s just Papa you have to deal with,” he teased. An exaggerated frown crossed his face-- it didn’t matter that she had gotten it covered it, it was cool that she did it at all! “Were people becoming jealous that you had my name on you? I get it-- I’m completely gorgeous and if they thought we were an item, it’s intimidating. Me and you? Together?” Kai whistled and clicked his tongue. “The world wouldn’t be able to handle it.”

Whilst the woman had been warned that Kai lived with his parents, she had been rather surprised to find both of them answering the door to her. Never the less Ofelia was charming at the best of times and could always crank it up a little when parents were involved and after a brief conversation with the pair she luckily found herself headed to the backyard in which she had seen Kai. Finding him perched and enjoying an assortment Ofelia beamed as she looked down at him. “Well you really went all out.” She mused, laughter following as she sunk herself into the chair next to him. “You could have warned me your parents were going to give me a welcoming committee, how many girls do you have over to your place that had a set of questioned they seemed to know off by heart.”

“I’ll be honest, the Triscuits are probably stale,” he admitted while grabbing a handful of the crackers. They felt dry and split into hairs in his hand, but Kai tossed them back no problem. He laughed at her question-- Kai? Bringing girls here? Girls that he would potentially be sleeping with? “That’s the secret,” he mustered out while chewing, “I don’t bring girls home. That’s probably why Mama looked so surprised!” Kai took his hat off and ran a hand through his hair a few times. “The only person that usually comes around these parts regularly is Aless,” he admitted. “Mama adores him.” Kai pursed his lips for a moment, before cracking a smile. “I’m glad you think I have the audacity to bring girls home though.”

Chloe had gone back and forth on whether or not to join Kai on his tagging adventure. She never grew up a rebellious, and she certainly was wary of starting now. She had a dog at home to support, and she couldn’t exactly be of any use to anyone if she was in legal trouble. But, with the fact that her best friend had gone ghost on her, and the fact that she needed something to do so she didn’t drive herself mad wondering and worrying, tagging things with Kai would be a good description. Chloe didn’t quite expect the surprise, but accepted the hug anyway. “Well, yeah, I said I was going to.” Anyone who knew Chloe, knew her word wasn’t the most reliable thing, but all the same. She had every intention to show up to this. “Wow, making a night of it, are we?” She followed his gaze over towards the bridge, and pursed her lips. “Sure. And, hey, if we get caught, all I have to do is outrun you,” She teased, nudging him.

“You did say that,” he reiterated, the grin still on his face. “Doesn’t mean that you meant it. Glad you did though,” Kai mused. A soft chuckle left his lips before he began walking toward the destination. His strides were long and casual, if he had put the work in when he was younger, Kai probably could’ve been a fantastic track star. “I brought a few colors,” he called back to her, curious if she had an opinion on how she wanted her first tag to go.

Kai took a quick seat on the steps that led up to the bridge, pulling out a flask and taking a generous swig. It burned, the way cheap liquor should. Most people wouldn’t consider Kai an artist of any kind, but he certainly had the stereotypical messiness that artists carried with them. Spray cans and miscellaneous debris fell from his bag as he decided on the color purple for the bridge. “I got green, white, and red left. Pick a can and follow me,” he instructed before hopping up the stairs.

Kai moved around his kitchen effortlessly, grabbing a box of Triscuits, three packets of string cheese, and a bowl. His mother had asked him if the person coming over was of any importance, but all he could do was scoff. Ofelia was...a friend? An acquaintance? Kai wasn’t even sure, but he did know that she was just as impulsive as he was, and that was what mattered.

A light tapping at the door, and Kai could see his parents answering it together; probably doing an extremely noticeable once-over. Through the back window, he waved at her, hoping she could get the hint to go straight into the backyard. “Some cheese and crackers,” he mumbled. “That’s fancy as shit.” He was actually impressed with himself. Taking a quick hit from his pen, Kai sat down in one of the old patio chairs and began to open up a cheese stick.

Kai had his backpack filled with the necessities-- spray paint, masks, two flasks and couple flashlights. Being discreet wasn’t his specialty, however: there were various pins and keychains hanging off the bag that were full of obscenities and anti-establishment beliefs. But that was Kai! Never one to pay too much attention to his surroundings. At least, not anymore. His parents were fast asleep and had been for hours, honestly, he’d be surprised if they noticed he was gone. It was good that he was an adult.

Taking a screwdriver to his ignition, he had successfully gotten to their agreed meeting location. Kai wasn’t sure who knew what people knew what his car looked like (though it was covered in stickers), but at least he knew Aless wouldn’t snitch if he happened to drive by. Spotting Chloe a few feet away from him, he grinned like an idiot while walking toward her. “You actually came!” he exclaimed. “I packed two flasks for us, and of course herb is always an option,” he wrapped her into a quick hug. “But you see that bridge over there? We’re taggin’ the steps tonight-- Guppy & Froggy; you ready?”
