[Cat looks unbothered. Pink picks up his cell phone and dials, but doesn't press the send button. See? He knows how cell phones work. He raises an eyebrow and sees the averted gaze]
Holy shit.
What, did you tell him you wanted to suck his fucking cock? I'm pretty sure he was in prison, that kind of shit shouldn't bother him.
[Freddy looks at the mangy fleabag then back at Pink. No words. Just a plume of smoke because making a smoke ring takes too much effort for his sore jaw.]
[He holds his tongue from asking "What's it?" because that would be a dead give away. Maybe if Freddy just rolls with this he won't have to say anything. The kid shrugs and looks away to nurse his beer.]
[Really? He gives Pink another dry thoroughly unamused look. Well let Orange take his time finishing up the beer and cigarette first. He's not gonna go after the beast right away.]
[He takes a drink. Why didn't Orange just tell him that someone thought he was a vampire? At least that's an obvious lie. This one reeks of the truth enough to make it so that Pink is suspicious but unsure.]
[Because there's a difference between telling lies to let someone know they aren't important or included and withholding information for deeply personal reasons, which he hopes Pink believes it's the latter. Freddy has self-preservation to consider.]
[He rolls his eyes at that and with an empty beer on hand he has to push that away before sucking down the rest of his cigarette. Freddy looks at the cat, the battle begins.
Five minutes later he still hasn't gotten the ring.]
Will you just call the little bastard over? For fuck's sake. [Freddy's temper is flaring but not enough to hurt a stupid animal. It's all that pent up frustration coming to the forefront. He's not gonna say please he's not gonna say please he's not gonna let his eyes get greener from welling.]
[Freddy's dusting his knees off with his newly scratched hands before getting up on his feet.] You're an asshole. Keep the fuckin' ring, I'm outta here.
[He's got guns but he doesn't think to use them. That wouldn't be very sportsmanlike or very Freddy, ie. the inefficient way.]
[There's that name and in an instant Freddy's snapping around, making his way towards Pink to pull the weasel in face to face by the collar. One hand only. The other's reserved for pulling his gun but the kid doesn't do that just yet. He doesn't want to be the first to trigger a firefight.]
[He and Larry used to. He and Larry did a lot of things on the couch in this apartment. Hell that couch was his bed for a long time. The push to his chest isn't close to his cracked rib but the pressure alone exacerbates the damage that's already been done. Freddy has to let go and stumble back, he finds balance against the nearest wall.]

Holy shit.

][action][
The hell is wrong with you, dude? [...Yep.]
][action][
][action][
What's it matter to you anyway.
][action][
[This is about Pink, okay?]
][action][
I don't think you're gonna have a problem unless you're holding out, like you got the diamonds in your back pocket or whatever.
[Freddy's joking. Honest. He taps ash out on the nearest ash receptacle.]
][action][
Do I look like a fucking moron?
][action][
][action][
[He takes a swig of his beer]
So what were you holding out on?
[You think he didn't catch that?]
][action][
I don't think he's gonna let me anywhere near his dick anytime soon.
[Wow you are so good at this Newendyke. Yep.]
][action][
Really?
That's it?
][action][
][action][
[Although now it seems kind of cruel to make him get it, instead of funny]
][action][
][action][
Little hellbeast scratches like a bitch, too.
][action][
Sounds like it's definitely your cat.

Five minutes later he still hasn't gotten the ring.]

He's not a fucking dog. He doesn't come when he's called.
][action][
[He's got guns but he doesn't think to use them. That wouldn't be very sportsmanlike or very Freddy, ie. the inefficient way.]
][action][
Yeah, yeah. Cheer up, kid. The swelling will go down.
][action][
Don't call me that.
][action][
Let me go you fucking asshole!
[He's groping for a gun, except that he doesn't keep one in his couch. Note to self - put a fucking gun in your fucking couch, you stupid idiot.
He pushes hard on Orange's sternum; not a punch but an open-handed push]
][action][
Sh-shit.
[His voice falters. Fuck that hurt. Fuck.]
][action][
What the fuck is the matter with you?
