lets roll up with mama

[televiolence]

Oh, Ant and Info are so cute! Their friendship is truly pure, which is surprising because Ant isn't usually like that.

"We should play 𝕷𝖊𝖌𝖊𝖓𝖉 𝖔𝖋 𝕿𝖊𝖓𝖓𝖆 sometime! I'll show you my version, it's a bit different from Anty's."

Info weakly pushes against the door of Ant's office. Seeing as it doesn't open, he shifts his weight to use that, and it works. However, he's too tired to get control over his balance back, and he falls forwards on the ground.

"𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚘𝚔𝚊𝚢!?" Ten wants to lean down to check on him, but he's holding ant's terrarium. He steps over Info and goes to put the terrarium on the sofa - since it's closer than the table - and comes back to help him up.

Info's TV suddenly makes an ungodly noise for a good 5 seconds before stopping. He shows Ten a thumbs up.

"Are you.... ꪖ᥅ꫀ ꪗꪮꪊ ᦓꪊ᥅ꫀ?"

He shows Ten a second thumbs up.

Info is helped onto the sofa, where he sits down. He looks up at Ten.

Ten waves his hand to dismiss the question he assumes Info is asking himself. "I'm not gonna sit with you, I have to get going! I've got some things to tend to at my studio. I only really came to wish Anty a 𝖍𝖆𝖕𝖕𝖞 𝖇𝖎𝖗𝖙𝖍𝖉𝖆𝖞!"

Info looks down, nodding. Then he realizes something. He looks up. "𝗛𝗲𝘆."

Ten is about to step out of the office , but he turns around, surprised to hear Info talk. "Yes?"

"𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗮𝘆." His black screen displays a polite smile.

Ten is surprised, but quickly smiles again. "𝓣𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓴 𝔂𝓸𝓾!" He waves goodbye and walks out of the room closing the door.

Info's TV makes a winding down noise as his head droops forwards slightly, then,

ρꪮꪮƒ!

In a puff of smoke, Ant is back to his normal size, and the terrarium is gone. He lands laying down, stomach on Info's lap, still sleeping and snoring. Info is startled by the giant CRT appearing out of nowhere, but only momentarily, cause as soon as he realizes who it is, he goes right back to falling asleep.

[televiolence]

Well, Ant, since you're stuck in the terrarium, you might as well explore. See what the place have to offer. Up to Ten or Info to help him or not.

Ant munches on some sunflower pollen, hidden within some plants. Ten is shifting slightly on his seat, leaning in various directions to try and see him.

Info is eating some cookies he found in the cabinet to try and get rid of the taste of the pollen.

Ten moves closer to the table, sitting on the edge of the sofa, and smiles, finally seeing Ant. "𝓐𝓷𝓽𝔂, is there anything interesting in there?"

Ant turns to look at him, annoyed. "𝙿𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚜."

Ten's tail starts wagging. "It must be really fun to be surrounded by such big plants!"

Ant looks around. "... 𝙸𝚝'𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚛𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝."

"Is there anything else that's 𝖈𝖔𝖔𝖑 or 𝖎𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖌?"

Ant looks around some more. "..." He goes back to eating his pollen. Seems he's not feeling like exploring much, despite the prompting........

Ten doesn't let that get to him, but when he sees Ant's antennae perk up when Info leans in closer, his cheeks start heating up and his stomach churns. He looks away with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Here, have ㄒ卄丨丂!" Info opens the terrarium and drops in a cookie, which crushes Ant like an anvil.

...

......

"ӨΉ."

"𝙾𝚑 𝚕𝚘𝚛𝚍."

Info closes the tank and pretends as if he didn't do anything.

BAHAH HOLY SHIT! Putting the Ant in Mr Ant now, aren't we....

How does it feel to not be such a big shot lil guy? Hope there's enough enrichment for the entirety of the magic anon effect :p

"𝙻𝙴𝚃 𝙼𝙴 𝙾𝚄𝚃 𝙾𝙵 𝙷𝙴𝚁𝙴." Ant's voice is muffled since he's. Well. In a terrarium.

"Oh, 𝓐𝓷𝓽𝔂... I don't think that would be a good idea. You're so ꪻ꠸ꪀꪗ now... We could accidentally crush you..."

Info crouches down to pick up the terrarium and put it on the coffee table. "Don't worry, Ant, ƬΉΣ ΛПGΣㄥƧ will take pity on you! Whatever that 【2】【0】 meant, I know she was calling out to ƬΉΣM!" He lets himself fall on the sofa with a concerningly loud THUD.

Ant falls on his ass due to being carelessly shaken while the terrarium is moved.

"The Angels?" Ten goes to sit on the sofa opposite of Info.

"ƬΉΣ ΛПGΣㄥƧ !" Info giggles. "You don't know ƬΉΣ ΛПGΣㄥƧ ?"

Ten stays silent, and Ant starts laughing in a very mean spirited way. "Get a load of that guy." He stands up, patting the dirt off of his pants. "Doesn't know ƬΉΣ ΛПGΣㄥƧ ."

"ƬΉΣ ΛПGΣㄥƧ are... they speak to me. They know everything, and they let me in on ㄒ卄乇丨尺 丂乇匚尺乇ㄒ丂! I don't always get it but, when they give an order, I listen."

Ten is concerned, but keeps a polite smile. "I see."

Info leans forwards and rests his hand on the tank. "Hey, BIG ƧΉӨƬ, how's it feel to be so 丂爪卂ㄥㄥ?"

Ten expects Ant to get irritated by this comment, but is shocked to see him chuckle, seemingly without anger.

"Could be worse. Get me some snacks from the cabinet, small size means one flower is 𝔀𝓪𝔂 𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓸𝓭 than what I can usually get out of it."

Ten goes to get up, but Info is faster. Ten goes back to sitting as he was, now feeling slightly awkward for a reason he can't place. He looks away, and his mouth disappears.

"Do you want cherry blossom oooooorrrr...." Info rummages through the cabinet. Plastic package sound effect. Horse neigh sound effect. Metal pipe falling sound effect. Vine boom. "Ohhhhhh, ƧЦПFㄥӨЩΣЯ! Are those ƧЦПFㄥӨЩΣЯ seeds?"

"Nah, just pollen."

"What's it with YӨЦ and 卩ㄖㄥㄥ乇几!????"

Ten finally jumps in. "𝓦𝓮 𝓮𝓷𝓳𝓸𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽!" He smiles. "We usually drink it with our noses, but... oh, well, 𝓐𝓷𝓽𝔂 eats it!" He somehow feels triumphant, wondering why. It's as if he won some kind of competition... but what is he even competing for?

Info pulls out the bag. "Is that just pollen inside??"

"Yep." Ant puts his hands against the wall of the terrarium, facing the sofa Info is coming back to sit on. "𝖂𝖆𝖓𝖓𝖆 𝖙𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖊 𝖎𝖙?" Mischief drips from his question like the sweetest honey.

"You know what? ㄚ乇卂卄!"

Ten knows Info will... likely really not like it. He's seen others taste pollen already, and even those without allergies are generally not big fans of it. But... he chooses to say nothing.

Info opens the bag. "Hmmm.... Do I just.... use a spoon?"

"Yes, yes..." Ant's laugh becomes deeper.

The broken CRT puts his hand in his jacket, taking out a tiny teaspoon. He gets some pollen on it. Tastes it, and...

"BㄥΣGΉ"

Ant starts laughing. Ten smiles wide to stop himself from laughing... we have to stay polite.

Mmm

-sneef snorf-

I smell jealousy from you, Ten. You fr annoyed a guy who hasn't known you for that long (as far as I know at this point) gets along so well with some nutjob? Kinda silly... /lh

"𝕮𝖍𝖔𝖈𝖔𝖑𝖆𝖙𝖊 cakes need 𝖈𝖍𝖔𝖈𝖔𝖑𝖆𝖙𝖊, smartass."

"ПӨ! Common misconception! They only need 匚卂Ҝ乇!"

The trio are sitting at QC's diner at the seat usually taken by the Dreemurrs. Ant and Info are bantering and bickering, meanwhile Ten is sitting in silence on the opposite sofa. Somehow, QC had an appropriately sized mug for Ant, which is very handy.

Ten is trying really hard not to stare. Thoughts are running laps around his brain as he tries to make sense of his situation. He's not under any delusion about having a thing for Ant... But then, does that mean that the discomfort and awkwardness right now would be... jealousy? He looks out the window.

That would make sense, he really wishes he could be as close to Ant as Info seems to be. He knows they aren't dating - at least as far as he knows - but... the thought that they might... because they are further along in their friendship... feels like a sword slowly being stabbed into his stomach.

He doesn't realize that his adorable expression has progressively been shifting into a tense, annoyed and bitter smile. The other two did realize, and have stopped chatting to just stare at him, confused. Info follows Ten's gaze out of the window, trying to see if he's staring at something outside. But no.

What a weirdo....
