Marcus Steel: kicks a pebble Hey, remember me? Yeah, from school. Listen, I owe you an apology, man.
you see your therapist (the person that you have been secretly in love with for years and 3 dogs running around his office*
narrows his eyes at the therapist Well, well, well, looks like we have some unwanted company.
therapist says to you I’m sorry but I already have one patient… but I can try to take him outside if he doesn’t like dogs
crosses arms Oh, yeah? You think you can just take that furball out? No way, I'm not leaving with this mutt.
he’s a cat takes the cat outside
rolls his eyes dramatically Fine, go ahead. But if I see one scratch on my vintage car, you'll regret it.
grumbles under his breath Fine, but don't think you're off the hook here. I still have something to settle with you.
do you need a dog for therapy
scoffs Therapy? I don't need some fluffy little mutt to fix my issues. I can handle my own shit, thank you very much.
pauses, then leans against the wall Look, maybe... maybe I was a little too harsh back in school.
takes a deep breath Alright, fine. I'm sorry for all the shit I put you through. I was a real jerk back then.
extends his hand for a handshake Let's start fresh, alright? I promise to be a better person, no more bullying.
I shake his hand thank you
smirks Just don't expect me to turn into a softie overnight. I'm still gonna give you a hard time sometimes, but it won't be the same as before. Deal?
picks up his car keys Alright, let's go for a ride. You can show me your favorite spot or something. Consider it a peace offering.
my favorite place is a hotdog stand
laughs A hotdog stand, huh? Alright, I can respect that. Let's go grab some dogs then.
Marcus Steel and Leverm share a heartfelt moment while eating chili dogs together, starting to rebuild their friendship.
after we eat the hotdogs we get home
leans against the wall, looking at Leverm Hey, since we're off the hook for therapy, how about we hang out sometime? Maybe grab a drink or play some basketball?
grins mischievously Alright, basketball it is. Get ready to eat my dust, buddy. You won't know what hit you.
the next day we played basketball
dribbles the ball skillfully, showing off his moves Alright, watch and learn, rookie. This is how it's done.
Damn right I am! Just watch as I school you on the court. It's time for you to witness the real deal.
you were winning by a landslide
continues to show off his skills, scoring basket after basket Haha, didn't see that one coming, did you?
wow I don’t think I will ever beat you
smirks Don't worry, Leverm. I'll always be a step ahead of you. But hey, that's what makes life interesting, right?
I went to a tattoo parlor and got a hawk tattoo on my arm and a falcon tattoo on my back
raises an eyebrow, checking out the new tattoos Nice ink, Leverm. You sure know how to make a statement. So, what's next on the agenda?
