Heh, somewhere around that. [ 78 days according to his fitness tracker- ]

And nah... you know how it is. Been minding the store. Dude sometimes you're the only reason I get out.

That just means I should take you out more often, huh?

[Wait that can be taken the wrong way though Blade hopes Sett takes it the wrong way because Blade would really like to take him out for enrichment for the both of them and well. He coughs.]

Taking the dog out on a walk and everything. [GOOD OL FASHIONED RIBBING TO COVER UP THE AWKWARD.]

[ That just gets a snort and a bro punch in the shoulder. ]

What part of me looks dog?? EXACTLY which part?

You couldn't keep up anyway, old man.

[ They're the same age- ]

Come on, bark for me. Woof. And I can run faster than you. Just so you know.

[He tilts up his chin, smug.]

We're the same age, asshole. What do you wanna do for this year though?

Hey, buy me dinner before you demand me make sounds for you.

[ He biffs the back of Blade's head. ]

For birthdays?

[Blade just manages to cover up the way he looks out of the corner of his eye at Sett's mouth with an eyeroll - yes he would like to wring sounds out of his best friend (at least. He thought they were. Maybe Blade needed more friends), it was getting a little out of hand (or in his hand), because the little grunts Sett made when pushing himself in the gym was starting to feature in his wet dreams.

Anyway.]

Yeah. Anything special happening?

[Is he fishing so that he can plan a surprise party thing? Maybe?]

[ Dammit dammit dammit no bite why was he hoping for a bite. Dude he should NOT be thinking about his best friend this way. Just cool your jets, Sett. He rolls his shoulders into a shrug, affecting CASUAL. ]

Nothin' much. I mean, if you're free, maybe we can go to my place, watch a game, play some cards.

What, like a sleepover or something?

[WHY did he have to assume it was an overnight thing like was this something millennial bros did. Blade coughs out a laugh.]

Ha, I mean, teenager shit, you know. [He turns off into their exit. Oh he is fucking this up. Cmon Blade you can do it.] I'm game if you're lame like that.

[ He HADN'T thought of that but now he's thinking about that. ]

Hey it just means we can be liberal with the booze. No worry about you drivin' home.

Totally normal.

[ NAILED IT. ]

[Blade doesn't answer until they've driven up to the parking lot, overlooking the valley of the reservoir, gravel crunching under the tire as he cranks his window open to squint at the slot he'd reserved.]

Yeah. [What is he yeah'ing at? He slings his arm over the back of Sett's seat, turns like he's going to start backing up, but ends up just looking at Sett.]

Not gonna invite anyone else? [There's a pause too long for it to not sound a little hopeful.] To see me kick your ass?

[ Dude he's like RIGHT THERE just a few inches and Sett could CLOSE THE SPACE. He's like RIGHT THERE you can just do it.

No he can feel himself turning red so he just. LOOKS AWAY. ]

Dude I would not do your pride that dirty. Be seen losing THAT bad.

Anyways, I'm feeling a quiet year.

You?

I wasn't really planning on doing anything. 's not a big deal.

[Truth be told he was just thinking about going to work and maybe smuggling a six pack or two into the café for Sett and the staff, and maybe get some good ribbing in before going home and forgetting he'd been alive for yet another year.

When Sett turns away, he lifts his hand to tug at the short curls of hair at the back of Sett's neck, and then actually starts parking, like he hasn't done anything.]

[ That yelp is probably gratifying. ]

HEY!!

[ Blade's barely put it into park before Sett has the seatbelt off and door open, sliding out like an overeager dog for his walkies, lbr. ]

Anyways, we should do something. You NEVER do nothing for your birthday. It's your DAY man. We GOTTA.
