( Hey! That gets a little sound of protest, which is more him being silly than anything to do with it hurting, what with the careful silence he keeps for Atlas, and all. Donny sticks his head into the bathroom, and adds - imperiously, )

N-no one's c-called me um, d-delinquent in ages.

( Because he totally got called that by a scandalized old lady who caught sight of his tattoos, one time. )

I w-wear them.

( Don't be obnoxious, sir. He wears long sleeve shirts under them, of course. )

Are you g-going out?

( Slouching against the door frame, watching her. She looks really nice. He should tell her that, but also, he definitely shouldn't tell her that. )

( How scandalous. )

W-what about my jeans?

( Good heavens, Max. Good heavens.

And-- oh. Right, of course. He should've-- he should've figured. Just a silent oh, more swallowed than spoken, nodding a little and he should go away, right? )
You um, l-look really p-pretty.

( "Beautiful" would be the more accurate word, but he doesn't want to make it weird, just wanted to... be supportive. Or something. )

( His smile turns a little apologetic, laughing very quietly, even if it's stilted with the knowledge of all the rest.

Nodding, Donny straightens up. )


Atlas.

( Patrolling, protecting. All the normal things a young delinquent gets up to. )

Yeah.

( Protecting Max still comes first. It always will. ) D-definitely, I'll-- um. I'll b-be there.

( He'll wait. If she is too late past midnight, he'll start tearing places apart looking for her. It's just how they look after each other. Max doesn't owe him anything, though, no apologies. He'd hate it, if he knew she felt that way. )

( A flicker of a smile, though it falls away fast. Is Max just trying to be nice to him, again?

And of course he's noticed. Between living together for close to three months, maybe more, and just her being Max, he's familiar with habits, the kind of levels she dresses to, even without having known her so long at home. His expression is just a little more controlled than it used to be. Atlas has to be stoic, has to be in control, and he's becoming Atlas soon.

She doesn't need to see Adonis being stupid. )


Sounds uh, l-like a p-plan.

( Or something. ) B-be careful.

( It'd be funny, if he could get past that uncomfortable, gripping tension in his chest, the thing that keeps him awake, still, and drags guiltily at his gut, a balloon expanding, tightening, never actually giving him any relief. )

Yup.

( Have fun.

For long moments after she's left, he just lingers at the door, before he's grabbing up his bag and going to one of the safehouses. Atlas can't go in and out of this building.

Have fun. )
