Well, jokes on you, it smelled of butter cream and booze. [No it didn't.] Or ... not. Whatever. It's better now, yeah. [He sniffed again, blinking as a bag got thrust to him. He closed the door behind Kirk and peeked into the bag.]
Aww man, why are you the best. [His eyes welled up a bit but he refused to cry.] Dumbest movie on the big theater screen that this stupid house has, or the TV in my room?
[Either way worked for him. Mostly he just wanted to not think about Rikki or the pain in his hands and side. Beer will help that.] Or are you just delivering, Batman. [he sees that suit.]
Room. [He muttered, nodding his head for Kirk to follow. He might see the strewn about parts of his costume around as they go. Ben's sure as hell not picking them up.]
No. I just, I guess I didn't expect you to drop everything and head over to spend time with... with a sad sack. Thank you, by the way.
Yeah, there is that. [He said in a sad tone, shoulders still slumped. In the weeks to come he was going to lose more of them, Ben was not going to take this month well.]
Remembering them kind of hurts right now, if I was to tell the truth. [He stepped into his room and held the door open for the other, closing it behind them. Izzy was wrapped around a pillow on the bed, while Star Jumped down from her gothic looking cat tree and came over to greet the two.]
Then don't. Let's drink, eat, and watch a movie, and think about how terrible it is.
[ He finds an empty spot and dumps the costume parts he recovered there, leaning down to let Star sniff him. He knows he smells strange to animals--sometimes they just don't like him. ]
[His mouth dropped for a moment, then he snorted, it was the best laugh you were going to get out of him, but it was something.] My favorite bat. Not mine at all but it's a good one.
[He started towards the door and reached down to pick up Star, hooking her on his shoulder]
I don't know. It's a big fucking house. I might actually get lost. [and he ducked out the door]
[He hides a smile as he fights the cling wrap around the DVD and gets the disc into the player and all set up by the time Ben comes back... barring the other man doesn't get lost.]
[He comes back with bowls, two spoons, a bottle opener and a plastic bag for trash. Star jumps off and runs to her tower, and he moves to plop down in the sitting are in his room.]
That was a terrible pun, by the way. Thought about it the entire way through the house.
But ah, thanks. For coming over and indulging me in my self pity. I swear you can have it back tomorrow.

Beer, ice cream, and the dumbest movies I could find.

What, did you want me to go home and change?

Date: 2020-01-06 01:09 am (UTC)Of course I would. This is important.
[Besides, being a sad sack is his thing. Gotta keep the trademark on the brand.]

[He's just taking after his best friend is all? Maybe. You can keep the sad sack thing all you want. Ben hates it.]

That sounds like a good plan. Bad movies are the best. So long as it's not a zombie movie. Not ready for that yet.
[Anything to get his mind off Rikki, or everything. He just wants to be numb.]

Date: 2020-01-30 01:43 am (UTC)[The movie is on the side of the beer, and it looks to be a colorful, violent, stupid action fantasy movie.]
Do you want me to find a bowl for the ice cream or are we doing this like savages and just eating straight from the carton?
no subject
Date: 2020-01-30 01:49 am (UTC)[he paused at the savage comment, snorting at it.]
I'd say we can go savage, but we need spoons too. [he took the mo,vie out and held it to the other, rubbing sleepily at his face with the other hand.]
I'll grab bowls, you set up the flick?

I think I can handle that, so long as you don't get lost.

And any time.
