This Cityâs Only Big Enough for ONE Pinecone âš Peko
pineconenergy:
While Peko himself was far from being a shining beacon of light and hope, he did not appreciate how rude the nut was being. No one was allowed to deny him the right to feel the way he did, belt or not. Thus, he was not far from taking out his slingshot instead of acknowledging the words. Such action would have been counterproductive though.Â
No use hitting an empty shell. The teenager cooled down quickly anyway. Hase and him were somewhat similar on this side of their personality. Bickering was part of who they would always be. âShut up, Hase. I donât need a belt anyway.â He hoped these words were true, and that his constant jealousy had died down since then.
The mention of his height, of rather the fact he was apparently a child, was enough for a well-aimed kick to attempt to hit Haseâs leg. âHey asshole, Iâm eighteen, fuck off.â He hissed. The subject would always be rather sensible.Â
Still, behind his apparent annoyance, it was obvious there was no real animosity in his tone. âI wonât lose you somewhere, but I could if you get on my nerves.â It would be hard to ignore the bedazzled boy though.
âNow, Mr.Bee please follow the twelve year old instead of complaining. And donât use me as an arm rest. I can bite.â Zack enjoyed such game, but he didnât want Hase, a rival, to believe it was remotely acceptable.
[âš] Feelings, being sensitive, thinking his actions out--they werenât really things that were high on his priority list, much to the chagrin of those around him. Well, his friends on Raid Wild didnât seem to care, and they were the ones that mattered most anyway. Why try to fix somethinâ that wasnât broken?
Being told to shut up also wasnât something that was new to him, so the words merely ran over his skin like water, not causing any lasting damage. âTrue,â He shrugged. âYou got the Kumon banana, so why would you need one?â Clearly, to him, the belts were only for securing dance positions and he had never made it long enough to see the second Baron rider.
A shout of protest escaped his lips at the foot that landed on his legs, but he paused with wide eyes at the words that followed afterwards. âWait. Whadda mean youâre eighteen?!â Holy shit. âYou look like youâre sixteen...â
That remark probably wouldnât go over well. At long as he was still older than the shortie, then it would be fine for his pride, though. And that was all that mattered, in the end--protecting egos and fighting with fists until you got where you wanted.
However, he did get his legs to start moving once again. âAs if I need a tour guide!â He snorted. Being abandoned like a puppy? He could easily find his way again, who did this kid think he was? âOy! I ainât a bee, twelve-year old. If ya bit me Iâd squirt you with water.â That oughta teach him.
