[ Matt almost laughs; instead he holds back the sounds, making him sound like he is chocking on his cigarette.

Yeah. Training!

He looks at Sollux for a moment, though his fingers keep pressing the keys on his DS. ]

I was thinking about joining "Find a partner support group". Our poor souls are desperate. [ he teases ]

Nah, really, I kinda want to level up. Y'know, get more souls. [ and the only way is to find someone willing to partner up and go on a mission ]

Have you tried online dating? [ no less teasing.

he's doing his very best not to snatch that cigarette away. ]

You'll find a match sometime, I have faith in your sorry glutes.

Sure I have. I used the network like a good boy. [ because that's what the network is for. To search for a partner and leave suggestive messages for everyone to see. Obviously.

And don't snatch his cigarette away. ]

Aha, I might partner up with the wolf. [ he is teasing again. But hey. Maybe it could happen. If a wolf can even use a Portal gun ]

The woof-beast? [ That earns a brow-raise and a reprieve from the cigarette-eyeing going on. ] What, you going to mount up on it's muzzle? Maybe a head-mounted portal-cannon?

[ aha, there's the sarcasm of old. ]

[ Matt laughs ]

It would be fucking epic, man! Can you imagine it?

[ and he might be joking, but actually... yes, it would be really epic. ]

Yes, I can, and every second I spend thinking about it, a few extra neural synapses cease to fire forever.

[ No, really, it would be pretty fucking epic but this is Sollux we're talking about. Since when does he admit to anything easily? ]

Wow, is that jealousy I hear in your words?

It sure is. [ Matt takes a long drag from his cigarette before he speaks again ]

You wish you could ride a wolf like a head-mounted portal-cannon.

I also wish I could get fleas unto the end of my nights, yeah, totally.

[ urge to grab cigarette, rising--! ]

Willing to bet deathdollars you'd get slobbered on in the first two minutes of service, not gonna lie.

[ Sollux, don't you dare. ]

Okay, challenge accepted.

I'm gonna ask the puppy to go on a mission together. And it will go awesomely, and you will be swallowing all of those words.

Don't get your ass maimed. [ and here, his expressions snaps from teasing and feet-first into All Seriousness. ] This isn't a fucking request, carrot-top.

[ yet, Matt dismisses the All Seriousness ]

Aww, you got into "mom mode" again. How cute.

I'll tell Mello if you do! [ 'mom mode' or 'Ultimate Snitch mode', either or ]

Wow, that didn't sound like a five years old kid at all!

Relax. Nothing's gonna happen. [ probably it will. It's not like he will have to tell Sollux, though. ]

I can't do shit to make you listen, but he sure as hell can. [ Probably. If Mello can't do anything then nobody can, really... ]

You sure?

[ Someone worrying about him. This doesn't really happen; he is usually the one doing the worrying (about Mello).

It's just. While he jokes around he can dismiss it.

But- ]

I am. [ if only he sounded certain of it just now ]

Horseshit.

[ They're too much alike, in many ways. They dismiss their shit in similar fashion, pretend like they have a fucking PhD in it. Sollux himself has been around long enough to take note of certain behavioral patterns. He likes to think, sometimes, that he knows the differences between truth and I'm-lying-out-my-ass. Sometimes. ]

Just try to keep all your bits on.

[ Sometimes, there's no helping it but to let it go, even if he probably shouldn't.

What hold did he have over Matt anyway? ]

Yeah. I do need all my bits, after all. [ again, he teases. Because that's a lot easier. ]

I'll be fine. [ he isn't a masochist, so Matt likes to believe he will. Even if he doesn't really think it's that easy; saying it out loud makes it much more believable. ]

Whatever. [ At worst, they could just patch him up, right? Yeah. ]

The fleas are your problem, though, just putting that out there.

Aren't you lucky you don't live with me? [ Matt doubts she has fleas.

Matt hopes she doesn't have fleas. ]

[ well god dogs are another story but sollux sure don't know that. let him dream of matt suffering the scourge of fleas, ok. ]

You have no idea how much I'm thanking my lucky solar systems.

It's your loss. I'm a pretty awesome housemate. [ no, he is not. he is a slob. ]

[ their combined slobbiness would reduce the apartment to untouchable levels, really. ]

You keep telling yourself that, man.

[ they already lived together once, even if Matt doesn't remember. He almost says that, but thankfully he stopsn himself - he would regret it ]

Don't worry, I will.

[ it's why he hasn't brought it up himself; he doesn't want to spook Matt, or make things awkward, or find himself regretting the mention later. ]

Better bring some woofbeast biscuits, be prepared.

More like a deer. It's a wolf after all, not a puppy.

[ even though she is... kinda cute like one.

Yes. Cute.

KINDA. ]
