"You look really familiar. Do I know you?"
Gene turns around startled. “Oh, uh, hm…” he stares off, “I don’t know? Maybe- oh wait! Balto! Yeah, high school, remember?”
He smiles as small memories come back. “It’s Gene! Haven’t seen you in a while, huh?”
“Ah! That’s where I remember the biggest emo in the world!” He joked,punching at the others males shoulder,his both his ponytail and actual tail flicking,on in happiness and one cause of gravity.
Gene laughs as he takes a step backwards from the punch. “Hah! Yeah, it’s great to see you again!” Gene gives the other a small hug. “How have you been doing?”
“Heh,I’m good I’m good,umm..takin anger management classes,” he chuckled lightly.
“Really?” Gene gives a confused look. “That must be interesting. Sounds like fun!”
“Yeah,they are going HORRIBLY! I’m pretty sure 8 different people are in the hospital! A few aren’t even the counselors!” He snickered at the memories. “Yeah,they are all in the hospital with glass shards stuck in them last time I checked.”
“What in the- GLASS SHARDS?! Isn’t that dangerous?! Are they okay?” Gene gives a worried expression. “I hope that they’re okay…”
“Yeah yeah they’re fiiiiiine..” he swatted his hand a bit. “It’s not like I threw them out the window or anythi-oh..”
Gene sighs. “Baaaalto! You can’t throw people out of windows!”
“Oh yeah? Tell that to Aaron.” He grumbled,glaring sharply as he looked away.
“Oh? Did he do something?” Gene tilts his head, concern in his face for his old friend.
“Weeelp. Just ask little pup if your curious.” He said simply,his tail waving as his ears flicked.
“I… uh.. don’t think I wanna know, actually…” Gene nervously laughs. “A-anyway, how has life been treating ya?”
“Like sh*t.” He simply stated,his ears giving a quick flick(a). (EHHH? EHHHH?)
Gene bites his lip and darts his eyes. “Well maybe you’re looking in the wrong direction? Maybe… uh…”
Gene wasn’t the best at giving advice. It was probably a mistake asking him that question, but Gene hoped it would lead into a different conversation. “Well, moving on, we haven’t seen each other in what, six years? How ‘bout we go somewhere for lunch?”
He shrugged,his tail swaying slowly. "Eh,why not,I don't have anything better to do,and who doesn't like food."
