"Perhaps..." Dyle fiddled with the clock hands that were his mustache. He'd called Looey and Astro in for a planned event to welcome in a new toon.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAcSWS96g7Tu
It was perfect—To Dyle.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAcSHmX0Ih3Y
Looey and Astro sat awkwardly on the floor. They were in Dyle's supply room. Right next to his shop. The chatter of toons outside nearly drowned out Dyle's low, monotone voice.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAPQE6sYyIzL
Astro had been distracted the whole time. He'd been drifting in and out of conversations like his consciousness was fading each time Dyle spoke. He almost fell asleep when Dyle was lecturing him about being "proper" and "professional"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAqLEXkJGKUG
Looey had the opposite problem. His eyes darted everywhere around the room, trying not to stare at his pretty face and half-lidded eyes...
77Please respect copyright.PENANA6EtMYdKqwJ
"Ahem." Dyle's voice cut through and both of them whipped their heads back to Dyle.
77Please respect copyright.PENANA1y4wJG24k8
It took them a good few seconds to remember what this whole meeting was about.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAlNIyMqcHvo
"Uh Dyle— you know we're kinda busy, you're my best pal and all but—"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAX30PNE5Q1U
"Best pal?"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAOK8Bi5peQn
Dyle narrowed his eyes and leaned in, feeling Looey's breath hitch as he was inches away from his red clown nose. His gaze roamed Looey's body, a red glint in his eyes.
77Please respect copyright.PENANA9v9mOHV4wI
He pulled away, clearing his throat and trying to act professional
77Please respect copyright.PENANAgu1DmAeTJQ
"No, we're just co-workers. I need you to both pay attention to me. This is an important event and all toons will be participating" But Dyle's eyes lingered on Looey, almost inspecting him in a way.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAEh68UQg6X9
Looey nearly deflated from that icy mechanical gaze.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAe9xjG0TyKE
Meanwhile, Astro could only stare at the ground. His mind had gone static for the countless nights he'd stayed up awake, watching people's dreams and standing over their limp bodies like he was a sleep paralysis demon.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAi2E5YBdTLx
He felt his eyes drag down and no matter what he did, darkness was about to consume him completely
77Please respect copyright.PENANAbETvr4r0Ap
"Well then, I hope this meeting has been informational" Dyle grit his teeth at "informational"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAiNVFAGGMx2
Looey was about to float away from the sight while Astro was already hunched over, drooling.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAclmz1hw3fO
The two clumsily stumbled out his shop as they were shooed away
77Please respect copyright.PENANAtDSLOYWezT
"Resume your duties!"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAq3XsbJkEdf
Dyle yelled before rushing back to his shop. He put back his professional front, straightening and dusting off his suit.
Looey ran off to his circus trio and Astro... Well, he didn't have much to do aside from roaming around and walking for night to come around.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAc2vyUpflKi
Looey pushed through the toons all crowded at Dandy's store. He could hear every squeak and creak that came whenever he bumped into someone.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Mhk9bLkg
He scanned through the cramped space, trying to spot a bright pinata and a black mime who looked to be plopped out of a black and white cartoon.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAefInZDwYOT
"Looey!!"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAx2klEE45Ad
But they seemed to have found him first. Looey nearly jumped as he felt a warm, crinkly hand on his shoulder.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAOCkUvnRIUC
"I haven't seen ya all day, where were you!?"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAmAvkH8TaZ6
The pinata was bouncing all over the place, she couldn't stand still even if she tried. The dark blob next to her just sighed, glancing back at Looey then at the pinata
77Please respect copyright.PENANAGiTvlQf0Mw
"O-oh Yatta... I was actually just talking to Dyle—"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAQociofmxB9
"Dyle!? Oh, don't tell me you told him!"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAAHYmuITXuW
"!yaw on —yeooL"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAcgZv3FhTPL
The two crowded Looey with Yatta smashing her face against Looey's, poking his little clown nose for answers while Blot stood beside him, making a few snarky remarks.
77Please respect copyright.PENANAgatqFIa3B8
"What did he say, what did he say!!!" Yatta screamed as she began to shake Looey, at this point, Looey would've been the pinata instead.
77Please respect copyright.PENANASbEaWfXdVK
Looey could feel his body wobble and sway. The air was basically being shook out of him "Guys calm down— I didn't tell him!" Looey dramatically splayed out his arms, lightly slapping their faces
77Please respect copyright.PENANA4jQGbZkn00
"...gnihton rof deticxe lla su tog uoY" Blot slumped his shoulders and gestured a drowny face with his hands
77Please respect copyright.PENANA0n4BUKQLGd
Yattas energy died down in an instant as she stared at Looey. They could hear the gears, well, more like candies in her head turn to process what just happened "Looey!! Come on, you can't keep it a secret from him forever!"
77Please respect copyright.PENANAo7RLNVwXgj
Yatta and Blot kept on teasing Looey. At some points Looey felt like he was gonna pop from being sandwiched between them.
77Please respect copyright.PENANARXQDbDnOJv
Astro watched from afar, hiding behind a few potted plants. A secret. He'd suspected Looey was hiding something but now...
77Please respect copyright.PENANAlwh2MTQb8a
Everyone had secrets in gardenview and Astro couldn't help but snoop.
