This is M. I'm most likely out punching someone. Don't worry, they deserve it.

Probably.

I'll call you back later.

[h2no]

Oh...!

[he's actually genuinely taken aback. it's clear in his expression and how he's suddenly handling the key like it's made of glass.]

I'll-- I'll have to make good on it. [he laughs a bit awkwardly, but it's clear he's feelin SOME REAL BIG EMOTIONS. archie leans over the counter and plaps his hand on m's head.] Thanks.

[heliophilic]

[Don't worry Archie, that thing can take a beating.]

No one I'd want to crash my party more than you, Arch.

[h2no]

[he's still really taken aback. after the intense fuck up with andrew, archie was worried m was just... tolerating him. it's hard to think about actually being on good terms with someone after hurting them so badly. his had goes from m's head to his hand-- gives it a squeeze.]

Likewise. I'll have to get one for my place cut for you. I could get the bow of the key shaped like your mask!

[heliophilic]

[Had anything that happened between Archie and Andrew been malicious, they wouldn't be here like this right now. M would be lying if he said it didn't still sting, being lied to for so long, but he's also never been one to hold a grudge, either.

He prefers to look forward.

He returns the squeeze, patting Archie's hand with his free one.]

Sounds cute.

[Speaking of his place...]

If you need someone to help you move, I've been told I make a good pack-mule.

Plus, things go a lot quicker with Doors.

[h2no]

[it's why archie could never see m as the kind of person m sees himself as. many, many people wouldn't have given him another chance, even if what happened wasn't malicious. it's clear in his smile how deeply he appreciates and cherishes the moment they're having.]

That's one word for it... [he snorts, shakes his head. crosses his arms.] Thanks, but I'll be alright. I'm startin' new-- selling on most of the stuff in my old place and gettin' new furniture. Sometimes you just gotta let go, y'know?

[heliophilic]

[M pats his hand again.]

Yeah, I do.

And I really hope it helps. Your fresh start.

[h2no]

Thanks. [god, he hopes too.] Alright, enough of that. What've you got to drink around here? We gotta get our chill on for a bit!

[heliophilic]

[M chuckles at that, and motions to the kitchen.]

Sounds like a plan. Liquor's on the door in the fridge. Take your pick.

[If he noses in his cabinet looking for glasses, he will find several cabinets full of peanut butter depending on which door he tries.

It's weird.]

[h2no]

[he does! and opens and closes them a few times. laughs. points to one, looking at m.]

That one's called Nut Butter!

[he finally gets some glasses out, then goes for the liquor.]

[heliophilic]

You'd be amazed at the lack of creativity some companies have.

[He starts digging around for the tv remote should they choose to go that route. He can't remember the last time he turned it on.]
