Dakota made his way to the bar, intent on ordering something fruity. He hadn’t gotten the chance to celebrate his birthday, so now that he had some time, he’d decided to go out by himself. Worst case scenario, he got drunk and went home. He took his place next to someone at the slightly crowded bar. “Hey,” he said, figuring he could start a conversation. “I didn’t think it would be so busy tonight.”
Box Forts - Kota/Kai

“You are too, you humble dork.” Kai laughed. She walked over and looked over his shoulder, her eyes going over his sketch. “Yeah well, I’m not one to take it lightly if someone breaks my best friend’s heart…he’s the only one allowed to do it.” She smirked. Dakota was the same age as Kai, but sometimes her protective instincts kicked in, especially when someone close to her mentioned how they’d been hurt by someone. “Well my offer still stands Kota,” Kai shrugged with a nod, taking a swig from her bottle. “You know you’re so right, plus, it was either ‘Wild Thing’ or “Uptown Funk’ so, you decide if you lucked out or not.” She chuckled as she turned to the mass of boxes, cracking her knuckles. “Let’s do this mate.”
Dakota smiled at Kai. He was thankful for her protectiveness. None of his other friends was ever quite as ruthless as Kai when it came to him being hurt. “I’m so glad you chose ‘Wild Thing,’ as much as I love Bruno Mars, I can’t imagine you’d like hearing that song so often,” he joked. He took a final drink of his beer before setting it down and laying his plan out. “Let’s start on opposite sides and meet in the middle?” he asked, walking toward the far wall.
Box Forts - Kota/Kai
kxi-edgerton-csi:
“Well you are pretty connected so…I don’t know why I didn’t come to you sooner to be completely honest.” Kai laughed at herself. She never had dabbled in matchmaking before, she worried that she’d set up someone close to her with the wrong person. And frankly, she knew that most of the people in her life certainly didn’t need any help in finding someone. “You know it,” She rolled her eyes, plucking the beer from Kota. “Thanks, and you know if you ever run into them again, point me to them and I’d be happy to rough ‘em up, or have some buddies of mine help.” She pulled out her phone and played the ringtone, smiling at the all familiar tune. “Ok, the lyrics might be a little too much on the romantic side, but you’re a Wild Thing so until I can find a better ringtone, it stays.” She shrugged, laughing.
Dakota laughed. “I just talk to everyone, I’m not connected,” he said. “There’s a difference. It’s small, but it’s there.” He went back and finished his plan. He knew it was likely not very accurate and that he and Kai would just wing it, but he was proud of his blueprint. “Oh you know you don’t need to do that. Plus, I’m pretty sure she moved out west somewhere. I seriously doubt I’ll run into her out here,” he said. “I’m confident enough in our friendship, a song a little on the romantic side is absolutely not a problem.” He grabbed his blueprint and his beer and walked over to the boxes. “Now, I don’t claim to know exactly what I’m doing, but are you ready to start this thing?”
Box Forts - Kota/Kai
kxi-edgerton-csi:
“Oh yes, I can only imagine being as amazing as you D,” She laughed before rolling her eyes playfully. Kai did mean it, Dakota was pretty darn awesome in her book. He was always confident in himself, and had the ability to talk to pretty much anyone by putting himself out there. “Honestly, anyone who’s actually loyal would be fine for him. His ex wasn’t exactly peak quality, so anyone above a stink bug would be good. I guess the Edgerton siblings have a bad track record with exes.” Kai shrugged, finishing her own beer. “I heard the song on the radio one day and thought ‘my gosh that is so Kota’ and I haven’t found any other song that fits.” She walked over and knelt by a box, measuring it. “Aight boss, it looks like we’ll be looking at 12 x 12’s aaaand…” She moved over to measure another one. “24 x 24’s.”
Dakota laughed. “I’ll see what I can do for him. I might know some people,” he joked. He wasn’t a great matchmaker, nor was he confident in his abilities to set people up. He went to grab Kai another beer while she measured. “Gotta keep up,” he said, winking at her. “And hey, better than me, I have a whole one ex who just absolutely broke my heart.” He scribbled down the measurements and started to add them to his drawing. “You know, that song does make a lot of sense for me. I’m honored.”

Box Forts - Kota/Kai
kxi-edgerton-csi:
“Awe, aren’t you the sweetest best friend a girl could ask for.” Kai smiled, patting him on the head playfully. “Only trying to live up to you Kota.” Dakota had become her best friend in a short time, which was an oddity for her who usually had a hard time getting close to people. But with Kota it was easy being his friend, he kept her on her toes and she constantly learned something new about him that surprised her. “Hey, if you help me marry my brother off you can move in.” She laughed. “ And if I didn’t have you bugging me, what on earth would I be able to look forward to every time my phone screamed ‘Wild Thing’?” She made her way to a drawer in the counter, pulling out a tape measure. “Want me to measure boss?”
Dakota laughed, “You could only dream of living up to me.” He finished his beer and smiled at her. “I’m kidding, of course.” They were stellar in their own ways, there was no living up to the other. Kai was incredible in ways that Dakota could never be. “I’ll keep an eye out for potential spouses. Is he picky?” he asked. “And I can’t believe my ringtone is ‘Wild Thing’, Kai. Actually... I can believe that. It’s fitting.” He went to the fridge to get himself another drink. “Yes please, darling. Once we figure out box dimensions we can get a plan and knock this thing out.”

Nathan turned his head for a moment and a small smile tugged on his lips. “I get it. I gotta admit, I enjoy the cooler months a lot more usually but it’s pretty therapeutic sitting out in the sun after not being able to for a while,” he agreed, not too bothered by the man’s decision to join him. “I’m Nathan,” he introduced himself, extending his hand towards Dakota in a friendly greeting.
Dakota nodded. “I definitely prefer fall weather,” he said. “But I do have a special place in my heart for sunshine and warmth after months of winter and the weather being cold. “Nice to meet you, Nathan.”
amaya-villanueva:
Amaya perked up instantly, her smile broadened as she ushered the man to follow her from the other side of the counter. “Well first off welcome, you’re in for a treat.” She said. Pointing towards the first row was a set assortment of donuts, some filled with assorted creams, others with fruits, then there were the pastries that ranged from croissants to danishes, to baklavas. She made it a point to slow down a little as she peered over at the man, hoping she wasn’t being too overwhelming. “Sorry, I’m just really passionate about pastries.” She laughed softly, “But do take your time, it’s a lot to take in.”
Dakota followed the woman down the counter, doing his best to follow along. All of the donuts looked absolutely delightful, but then she took him to the pastries, which made deciding even harder. He had a bit of a sweet tooth, so everything looked incredible. “Nothing wrong with being passionate about you work,” he said, continuing to peer into the cases. “Now, I have a dilemma. Everything looks incredible. What’s your best seller? And what’s your personal favorite?” he asked. “I’m a fan of basically anything sweet so I know I’m not going to be able to pick just one thing.”
The sweet and fragrant smell of cookies and scones lingered heavily in the air. Amaya, without missing a beat, turned on the radio and scurried around between the counter tops and the ovens. She had poured her entire heart and soul out into the latest recipes that she hoped would be a hit for the business, while remaining eternally grateful that the owners at The Bakeshop on 20th would even allow her to experiment in the first place. She anxiously arranged a row of macaroons, carefully critiqued the peaks on one of the meringues on the three-tier display, and was waiting for a timer to go off to let her know that the baking was complete. She hoped her latest concoctions would be ready before the usual rush came through the door as she set the rest of the coffee mugs to begin brewing and snapped apart a piece of one of the items that wasn’t up to par for sale, relishing in a small bite. “Does this need more vanilla? Sugar? Salt?” She murmured. At the sound of the store door chiming, she perked up, making sure to wipe any residual crumbs away from the corners of her mouth. “Welcome to The Bakeshop on 20th! What can I get for you today?”
He had the day off today and wanted to try something new. Dakota hadn’t been in Philadelphia long, so he was still working out his favorite spots. So, he decided to go out walking and go wherever his feet took him. As he approached the bakery, he decided that was where he’d go. He pushed open the door and was greeted by a sugary sweet aroma. He smiled at the woman behind the counter. “Hi, this is actually my first time in, so I don’t really know,” Dakota said. “Do you have any recommendations.”

She shrugged before planting her hands on her hips in a power pose. “Well I did do track…never. But you wouldn’t believe the stuff we had to do in military training, or should I say the challenges the other cadets and I would come up with.” Kai laughed, leaned next to him, and looking over his design. “I think a palace honestly, then I might be able to walk around it at least.” She nudged him playfully, shaking her head at him. “You know if Dani and my brother weren’t living here I’d say move in and we could split the cost. It’d be like a freaking sleepover. Plus, then we could bug each other 24/7. Fun right?” She smirked.
“You amaze me every single day,” Kota said, smiling at his best friend. He felt like he learned something new about Kai on a pretty regular basis. She had a lot of skills that didn’t come up often, but when they did he was always impressed. “Alright,” he said, “so we’re making a box palace.” He began adding more detail to his drawing, highlighting some areas with the marker. “Well, if a space here ever opens up, let me know. You know my favorite activity is bugging you.” He took another swig of his beer before marking the front entrance of the palace. “Okay, so, now I think we need to figure out how big each box is so we can plan the dimensions for this thing.”
Box Forts - Kota/Kai
kxi-edgerton-csi:
Kai gladly took the bottle from Kota, popping it open and sipping it, an amused look growing on her face as she watched her best friend survey the room. He always managed to make whatever seemingly silly or unimportant task that needed to be done fun, one of the many reasons she enjoyed hanging out with him. “Yeah, let me get some, just on the other side of Moutn Saint Boxes.” She set her bottle down and lunged over a decently high pile of boxes, landing amazingly on her feet in front of her desk. Grabbing a pile of computer paper, she hurtled back over the boxes and handed the paper off to Dakota. “There’s some pens and markers in the drawer on the left of the island,”
Dakota watched Kai jump over the boxes with his mouth open. “Kai, what the fuck that was awesome,” he said, setting his beer down to get the pens and markers. He picked his drink back up and walked over to his friend, happy that she indulged him. “Okay, so, first thing’s first. Do we want a singular box fort, or do you want to make a box city?” He began scribbling on the paper. “Because you have enough boxes here for a palace, but we could have our own box homes. You know, in case you can’t live with me.” He drew up a plan for a giant box fort. “Now, this is a possibility, and we could have multiple rooms.”
ms-katrina-scott:
Kat let out a small sigh of relief, allowing a small smile to break out across her face. She nodded quickly, “Right answer” Kat murmured, moving to straddle him once again as she settled herself into position she smirked, pressing a single searing kiss to his neck and speaking softly against Dakota’s skin. “Let the games begin in earnest…”
ms-katrina-scott:
“Sorry. That sucks.” Kat nodded at his revelation. She wasn’t ever a touchy-feely person but she could bluntly recognize feelings, just as long as they weren’t attached to her. “No. You’re good in bed. And I don’t just say that to make people feel secure in their ego.”She added, rolling onto her side to face him completely. “I just have one question-and if you answer it wrong, this is a one time thing. If not….then whenever you’re ready for round two let me know.” Kat began, looking him dead in the eyes ready for any kind of deceit. “Do I give you any warm-fuzzy feelings? Like romantic feelings?”
“Eh, it’s fine. Didn’t really have feelings for him, but he was my friend,” he said. He hadn’t really had romantic feelings for anyone in quite some time. He just didn’t have tie time he supposed. “Excellent,” he murmured, happy to please. “Oh I thought that was going to be much worse,” he laughed. “No, not really. I mean, you’re fun and all but we met in a bar and came back here and hooked up. It’s kind of hard to get romantic feelings for someone when all you do is have sex,” he said. “Well, at least for me. Sex is sex, you know?”
cassidy-bolton:
“Good luck man, it is the hardest job in the world. But also the most rewarding.” Cassidy responded, somewhat surprised with his sentiment. “Hope so,” though the redhead knew Aidan and him were too much alike for him to come around anytime soon. Finally pushing himself from the bench, he took in a ragged breath of air. “I probably should finish my walk of shame.” He somewhat joked with a light chuckle.
Dakota smiled at him. “Thanks,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “Damn, walk of shame. Good luck, nice meeting you,” Dakota said. He gave his new acquaintance a wave and pulled out his phone to check to make sure the world hadn’t ended while he was out of the office.

Kai quickly tied her hair up in a messy bun that probably made her look homeless but oh well, Dakota was one of the few she was comfortable enough to look homeless in front of anyways. She laughed as she walked over to the door, holding it open for him. “I didn’t know they delivered beer now, not that I don’t want it of course.” She smirked, taking one of the six packs and walked inside, placing it in the fridge. “So, what do you want to do with these?” Kai asked, gesturing to the massive pile of boxes in her living room.
Dakota followed Kai in, placing the other case of beer alongside the one she’d already put into the fridge. He pulled out two before closing the door and offering one to Kai. “Well,” he said. “We’ve got to see what we’re working with here.” He opened his beer and then walked into the living room, surveying the boxes. Kai hadn’t been kidding when she’d said Dani had begun drawing on the side of them. “If we use any of these boxes Dani’s drawn on, we’ll need to make sure they’re facing out. Can’t let her hard work go to waste.” He took a sip of his drink as he walked through the boxes. “Do you have paper? I think planning this out is the way to go.”
Box Forts - Kota/Kai
Dakota parked his car on the street and went to his backseat to grab the beer he’d just bought. He knew two six packs may be more than they’d drink, but you could never be too sure with he and Kai. Movie nights could quickly turn into drunken dance parties. After locking his car he walked up to Kai’s. He got to the door and knocked with his elbow. “Ohhhh Kai!!!”
