"An Hour Or Two? Think Ya Can Manage That?"

"..."

This ain't getting anywhere. Now he just feels even shittier and he's getting riled up. "...Well. What do you know, anyway?"

Guess he was wrong when he thought Guzma would understand. He huffs, cheekfins flared out and wiggling in annoyance. This fucking guy.

He's not liking this discussion. Like. Not one bit. Finally stopping his constant dangling, Guzma now puts his head on his open palm, resting his elbow on a leg as he avoids eye contact. If you're not talkin' to 'em, how the fuck d'ya know they're doin' fine?, he thought -- the same words he mentally yelled at himself during his own three months hiatus from the whole team leading thing.

…nah, this is different. With Skulls, he was the problem. Guzma doesn't think it out of self-deprecation, he was the only one on board with Lusamine's stuff. This was a group of lunatics who wanted to flood the world from day 1! It's different. There's no parallels here.

"Yeah well.

Ya never know."

Stay vague Guzma, stay annoyed.

@intriguant started following Archie!

Wait he knows this guy. Not sure if he'd recognize him, though. Wouldn't surprise him if he did, and that's why he's tailing after him right now.

"...Can I help ya?"

Shes not here yet but flower emoji sapphire?

SEND “ ✿ ” FOR 2 HEADCANONS FOR OUR MUSES’ RELATIONSHIP.

Archie is probably like some weird uncle to Sapphire despite everything that happened. Takes her on fishing / diving trips and the like.

Sapphire knows about the merfolk dealio. I feel like Archie told her after the team disbanded.

"Where's all the fresh fish in this house..."

"I do like tha', yeah-- But sushi's crazy expensive... I can't ask tha' o' ya."

"I can probably get you some Sushi....Do you like Unagi?"

"Naaaahhhh. Bwahaha, doubt it, pshh--"

Very smooth, Archie. Very smooth. Either way, he didn't feel like sharing what the other could know him from right now. No need for that. He was a changed man. Though water is still very cool. "...So ya don't want our Crobat t'meet? I think they could be pals."

"Kinda off" is uh.... an understatement. Cyrus was just standing there, looking relatively uninteresting, but ...

The moment Archie tries to make small talk he's brushing right past it. "Do I know you?"

Whew. That was blunt- but he genuinely wanted to know. Even his massive Crobat at his side was eyeing Archie up.

Maybe in Cyrus' own world he vaguely remembered some stories of two imbecilic scientists from Hoenn... or maybe RSE Archie was just familiar enough to actually surprise Cyrus and prompt his question.

This wasn't on his bingo card for this week.

After a heated discussion, he had him pinned to the wall-- And they're making out now.

Yeah, this might as well happen. Archie smirks upon the bite, copper taste filling his mouth upon licking the mark.

"...Heh." He pulls Guzma back into the kiss, trying to return the favour of the bitemark, before pulling away briefly. "Nah, fuck you."

Hands press against his throat still, claws digging into skin.

@nolongeraqualeader

a heated kiss while holding them by the throat.

Despite everything, Guzma kept showing up in Archie's room. Call it an attempt of showing off his. Who the fuck knows-- alpha-ness? Remind Archie who's the boss, when all he did was teasing and occasionally get a little too touchy with Plumeria? Fuck's sake-- existing? Who knows. What Guzma knows - both of them, really - is that it was just a matter of time before one of them pushed the other a little too much.

Today it was his turn. A tease too many, he leaned a little too close, and the former Aqua reacted accordingly. Archie's hand found his throat, his own the other's wrist and shirt as they stumbled for a few seconds in a sorry excuse of a wrestling match, one that leads to him falling on the bed and be pressed against the wall (with the hole caused by his punch), and--

--and they're kissing now.

Well, Archie is kissing him, but it doesn't take much for him to return it, groaning as the other's thumb presses against his throat, opening his lips to catch one of Archie's and biting on it to break contact.

"…fuck you."

"...Y'know you're allowed to say somethin' else than 'Oh beans' right."

What even is this team he's ended up in the middle of. "Like, yanno, 'Holy shitballs' 'r summin."

A sigh, clawed hand resting on the injury he sustained earlier this week.

"Still-- Ain't this the admin's bathroom? I would've kicked ya out o' the team if I found ya in my private room back then."

" Im notnsure biteing them will make my pockets any bigger....plus I dont know where they have been.."

She didnt even register the tsil at first.

"Like why cant i put my hand in my pocket! Sure its an excuse to use a REALLY cute Buneary backpack but like I wanna use a pocket too!..."

"OH BEANS! You have a fish tail! Neat!"

archie muse is high rn so like this for a starter! ))

"..." So that's how this was gonna be, hmm? He's in the shittiest position right now too, 'cause if he retaliates he's giving him ammo to throw him out for real.

Cheekfins flared, he just retracts further into the bathtub, praying that at least the sparks don't hit him. This sucks.

"Sure, sure - get your beauty sleep." Jacks waved an hand in dismiss, pretending like he was going to just relax. But in truth he figured, if he was being the worst roommate ever, maybe the guy would just fuck off on his own.

So he released his Toxtricity. "Just ignore me and my buddy just jammin' out a bit." And as if on cue, Riff the Toxtricity began to play some loud music, causing sparks to jump into the air.
