Last weekend. The shopkeeper at that weird Goodwill said it was the last one of this particular kind that they had and they wanted to get rid of it. And I missed having my own car, even if it's only been a month, you know?

[He scratches his cheek a bit.]

Anyway, that's not why I came here!

Man, I need to get a motorcycle from that weirdo...what's up?

[Excuse him for a moment, he needs to get the bag that's in the backseat--]

Let's head inside, yeah?

[What the heck is that bag?

Ash leads Pan in and up to his room, flopping on the bed and disturbing Berry. She just gives her human a Look before deciding his lap will make a better bed than his pillow.]

[He's going to just settle on the bed too before pushing the bag towards Ash.]

Here. These are for you.

[The bunny Squishable on top, a rabbit plushie that's visually identical to the one Ash lost... other than the purple and black bow it's sporting, and the new hoodie at the bottom.

Pat, meanwhile, is just going to reach over and start petting Berry.]

[Okay the plushie he recognizes and promptly sets next to his pillows, but the Squishable is new and--]

You ain't stealing this hoodie.

[He's mostly joking, and leans over to steal a kiss.]

Where'd you get 'em?

Considering that hoodie's to replace the one I already stole--

[And then he's distracted by the kiss.]

The hoodie and plushie I found while browsing shops last weekend. The Squishable... I actually ordered that online last month. I was going to give it to you since you'd lost that first rabbit plushie.

[Ash smiles and pulls Pat into a hug, disturbing his dog yet again. She just grumps a bit before settling back down.]

Keep this up and my bed's gonna run out of room for me. I love it.

[Sorry, Berry! Pat's happily returning the hug, though.]

I'll try to keep from going too overboard. No promises, though.

[He's grinning a little.]

Yeah, gotta make sure you stay my favorite bunny, right?

Correct.

[A kiss.]

Plus, if there's no room for you, there's no room to cuddle.

Not unless you kicked one of the dogs out, and that's illegal.

Also that.

[Reaching down to pet Berry again, excuse him.]

Tch, losin' to my own dogs.

[He's joking.]

Thanks, babe.

[Huff!]

Like they'd ever overtake you as my favorite.

[Of course, his being indignant over this is clearly feigned, considering he chuckles immediately after and cuddles closer.]

They better not! They'll steal your fries! I at least ask.

[He laughs.]

Also, I like cuddles with you better.

Because I don't kick you, yeah?

[Another joke, mostly referring to Orthie and her very exciting dreams.]

Yes, and also because I like having your arms around me.

[Cuddling closer, as if for emphasis.]

Ain't that the excuse you gave me when you stole my hoodie?

Yes.

[No shame.]

But the hoodie's also warm and smells like you and I'm hopelessly gay.

There ain't no way that still smells like me, Pat. You've had it for too long.

Clearly I need to bring it back, then, so you can wear it again.

You're gonna steal another hoodie until I can give that one back, arentcha?

Yeah.

[Absolutely no shame.]

Besides, you like seeing me in your stuff anyway, don't you?
