❧ 002 [video]

[When the TAB first flickers to life, all that's visible is an intricately scarred cheek with just the slightest peek of ivory fangs past blue lips. There's the faint sound of something shifting about and finally, Kurt comes into full view.

He's sitting on the edge of an old stone fountain, his tail swishing back and forth behind him, a grin plastered across his face.] I know very little about this holiday, but I've read a few things in an attempt to try and understand better.

[Meaning that he has forgone all the really romantic and couple-esque things about 'Valentine's Day' or whatever they would be calling it on Thisavrou.]

Giving chocolate to someone you like is traditional and I have more than a few friends and other people that I enjoy being around, so ... [He reaches over to pick up a small black box and pops the lid off of it, revealing the candy inside.]

Who wants some chocolate? [A soft laugh follows shortly after his inquiry as he replaces the lid and clutches the box to his chest, smile somehow broadening.]

I'm more than willing to deliver it, too.

(ooc: cw for anyone that decides to read the thread with kurt and j. [mentions of self-harm, internalized transphobia and ... self-loathing?])

Cool! Maybe I'll pick up some German in the process, ja? Cause the only stuff I know are like, food words.

And see, that's a great use of German. Because it's a joke AND wunderbar will always make me think of chocolate bars, and chocolate is really what brought us together today. You got it, my man. When're you free?

[The fact that Hunk is already using some of the German he's said makes him dip his head sheepishly, lower lip tucking between his teeth. Don't turn purple, don't turn purple ...] If you'd like to learn something specific, I could teach you to the best of my ability.

You did catch it, then. I suppose that it did. Uhm, if you give me about a half an hour, I have a few boxes to deliver and then I could meet you somewhere?

[TURN PURPLE TURN PURPLE] That's so awesome. Okay, I'll think about it and make up a list of stuff that'd be cool to know how to say.

Hey, what can I say? I have my moments. [He's actually pretty damn bright, but he's so laid back he almost never gets to show it off. He perks up at the timeline.] That quick, huh? Awesome. Let me give you my address. [He sends it over to Kurt really quick.]

And uh, if some guy with blue hair in his underwear comes sliding out somewhere, don't worry about it.

[He'll get there soon enough.] Perhaps, you could write it up while you wait for me to finish my deliveries?

I think we all do, no matter how much we believe the opposite. [Kurt's rather smart himself, though he's usually got his face in a book or something - too distracted to really show off just how well he can use that brain, but with how often he reads, it can be assumed that he has a decent imagination, at least. Once class starts back up, that will be the exception.] I'm a teleporter, so I can get around rather quickly. Ach, right! [Don't mind him, saving that message for later when he finishes handing out chocolates.]

... why would he be in his underwear?

Hey, there's an idea! You're a thinking man, I see. [Another toothy grin.]

Wait, wait, wait, back up-- did you say teleporter? Like you can just teleport whenever you want?

Long story. Last time it was because of a broken washing machine. First time I met him? Dude was almost completely naked.

Most of the time, ja! There are moments where I leap before I look, though. [A bit impulsive, but that's Kurt. The TAB clicks over to audio for now, that way Kurt can use said ability to get back to the institute and drop off the boxes of chocolate for Badou and J.

There's a distinct BAMF'ing noise on his end of the voice chat, which Hunk won't be able to recognize until he's shown the teleporting.] That's exactly what I said. As long as it's within my range of three miles.

Well, in that case, I'll pay no attention to the blue-haired man in his underwear.

Are you kidding me? And you were trying to fight me on being the coolest? You are seriously the coolest person I have ever met.

Did you-- did you just do it? Is that what that was? Did you teleport just now?

[Good thing he switched the feed when he did, considering his cheeks are most likely a brilliant shade of indigo.] Says the person who lives in a floating castle.

Ja, the noise? That's what it sounds like when I teleport. If it's going to bother you, I could switch to text instead.

Yeah, but I didn't make the castle, I just flew there in my lion. This is a thing you just DO and it is so cool!

Bother me? Are you kidding me? It sounds awesome. Do you think I could see you do it in person sometime?

You have a flying lion? [Does his voice sound incredulous enough?] It's flashy, that's for sure. Smoke and all that.

[Not helping with the blush here, Hunk.] Of course, I have no qualms with showing you.

Well I mean, not a real lion. It's a robot lion. All five of us have 'em, and then they combine into a big robot guy. I'm one of the robot's legs!

[Oh nooo whatever shall he do] Okay, yeah, I have to see that. Seriously. I wish I could teleport. All I got is a bayard that turns into a big plasma gun.

... that's even cooler. There's more than one and they become a giant robot? This sounds like some fantastic sci-fi movie! How does it feel to be half of the base of a robot?

[Mm-hmm ... Sigh.] I could take you with me one of these days. Oh, uhm, what's a 'bayard'?

I mean, I can map it out for you. It's basic engineering really. Well, not basic. It's pretty complicated engineering by aliens that live like, impossibly far away, but it's still wicked cool. And being a leg is awesome. I get to support the whole team, literally! [And he actually laughs at his own lame joke.]

What, really? Teleport with you? Really? You can do that? And it's a little tool we were all given, they all morph into different stuff. I'll show you when you get here!

I'm somewhat decent with technology. I figured the TAB out easily enough, so perhaps I could understand it? [He pauses outside of his room where he'd left the other boxes, making sure they were safely tucked away before heading toward the address that Hunk had sent him.] I bet you're great support. [Kurt also laughs at the jest, reaching a hand to stifle it, even though the noise has already slipped out.]

Oh, ehm-- [He clears his throat and there's another BAMF on his end of the line.] Absolutely! I've teleported myself and five other people out of a nose-diving warplane! ... that sounds worse than it really was, haha.

[He's not downplaying anything at all.]

By the way, after looking over this address, I should be there sooner than I had estimated. We're practically neighbors!

If you wanna learn I'd be more than happy to show you. It's just, uh-- [a nervous chuckle as he rubs the back of his neck, not that Kurt can see it] Most people think it's a little boring is all. I get kinda overexcited about engineering stuff.

I guess so long as we don't end up actually in a crashing airplane I guess it should be fine. Heh, one time I was flying my lion and it just died. Like, mid air. There was an ocean below us though so we crashed into it and .. sunk to the bottom. Dead in the water. There were mermaids and stuff got weird, but basically long story short falling from the sky in a huge lump of metal has already been crossed off my bucket list.

Ha! Really? That's awesome! We can hang out!

[A brief pause on his end; he can't see Hunk, but the tone of the laugh tells him plenty.] Don't be embarrassed about something you are eager to take part in. Embrace your zeal and enjoy what you do! I like listening to people talk about things they are passionate about.

[He gets quiet again, listening to the other male talk, smiling broadly the entire time.] No reason for me to drag you into another crash. I never would have imagined that mermaids existed! I'm glad you came out of the accident safely, though.

I think I might actually be getting close. Are you outside or anything?

[Good thing he can't see Hunk's face; it's his turn to go a little sheepishly pink. He's rubbing at the back of his neck.] Heh. Alright, if you're sure.

They totally do, but not in the way you'd expect. They look more... fishy than the Little Mermaid told me they'd be.

Oh! I'm not, but I can be! Hold on one sec. I'll go out to the porch. I'm kinda hard to miss.

[Oh, now they've both embarrassed each other. Success.] I'm absolutely sure! There's no reason to downplay the delight you get from something you like - especially if you're gut at it.

The Little Mermaid? Do they have gills on their necks? Webbing between their fingers?

[And Kurt patiently waits outside of the house, shifting from one foot to the other, the box of chocolates tucked behind his back in both hands. He's pretty sure this is right, considering there's a lion atop the house.]

[Hunk had just opened the door to make his way onto the porch when he spotted Kurt -- I mean, there are probably only so many blue people on their way to his house right now. His grin is wide again, eyes bright as he made his way over to give the guy a big hug by way of greeting.]

Hey, man, thanks for coming out here! And yeah, there was totally webbing, by the way. And like... alien eyes. Not a single one of 'em was singing either.

[The sound of the door opening catches his attention right away, honey-tinted irises flickering beneath dark eyelashes as he blinks thoughtfully. He raises a hand to greet Hunk, though his arm is only about halfway up when he's suddenly pulled into a hug, which makes him bite down on the inside of his cheek to barely stifle a yip.]

Oh, i-it's no problem at all, really. [Ignore his stutter while he shifts a bit to return the embrace to the best of his ability.] In a way, it's disappointing, but also sort of interesting? Alien eyes seem different, but I've always imagined mermaids having webbing between their fingers.

[Okay, the yip was totally cute. Hunk's still grinning as he puts Kurt down.]

Yeah, my buddy Lance was totally into it. I was drugged for most of the time so I don't remember a lot except that the food was awesome.

Also for the record, you are like ten times as adorable in person.

[Feet back on the ground? Okay, good. He straightens a bit, the edges of his lips quirking with amusement, regardless of his somewhat awkward response to being hugged.]

That's too bad. At least you got to enjoy the food, though?

[Kurt stiffens at the compliment, mouth opening, but no words come out right away. He brings his hands around, holding the box of chocolates out and lifting the other one to cup the back of his neck.] ... thank you, Hunk. You're rather charming yourself, ja?

Yeah, turns out it's the food that drugged me. Kind of worth it though, I think.

Sweet, chocolates! Thanks, man. And I got you a little...

[He rummages around in one of his pouch pockets and produces an envelope. Kurt's name is scrawled on the front and Hunk's even managed to tie a little red bow around it.] Here, for you!

Ach! Well, that's no gut - food shouldn't be used in such a manner.

You're welcome! [Again, Kurt goes quiet once the box is taken, watching as Hunk digs about for ... something.

He gasps softly, drawing both hands up to cup around his mouth, widened eyes staring at the item he's being offered. Finally, he reaches to take the envelope, rubbing over the ribbon with his thumb and flushing with embarrassment.] Hunk, you didn't have to-- I mean, I wasn't expecting ...

[Another moment of silence, his head slowly lifting to look up at his new friend.] Thank you, again.

[The purple complexion is even more rewarding in person. Hunk's smile widens a touch.]

It's not much, I had to be quick. But I figured a guy willing to teleport to see a total stranger and give him chocolates should get something back. Plus you're like, really really cool.

[Inside the envelope Kurt will find a note, handwritten, that says simply "IOU: one pancake breakfast."]
