[Chris just shakes his head.]

Whatever, bro. Sounds like you should contract with them both then. Unless one of them is the jealous type. Or a serial killer.

[1stclasspuppy]

Yeah? How should I ask? Do you think I should get collars first or maybe wait for the okay? I still think it's silly you have to wear collars.

[He looks up at Chris with his innocent expression.]

If they say yes I for sure need that second job. I'd like for them both to not have to work unless they want to. I gotta get another...or maybe two other jobs for sure!

[buttbaby]

Dude, slow down, fuck!

Don't get collars before anything is agreed to, that's fucking rude. And only get the jobs you think you can do, and that you wanna do. Okay?

[1stclasspuppy]

Okay I won't!

[He frowns but not at Chris and instead rather at himself. He doesn't want to mess anything up but he still doesn't fully know what he's doing and he wants things to be good for everyone.]

I don't want to be rude...I just...I want things to go okay. I don't have much more time to contract left.

[buttbaby]

Then you should go ahead and ask one of them. Just go "Hey dude, I'm running out of time to contract and I like you, you wanna do this thing?". Then proceed from there. Don't overthink it.

[1stclasspuppy]

You really think that would work? That does sound almost too easy.

[buttbaby]

Sometimes things are easy because they makes sense, Zack.

[1stclasspuppy]

Yeah that makes sense.

[He just rubs at his head a little.]

I guess I'm just kinda scared. I appreciate you helping me though Chris, you really are the best bro a guy can ask for.

[buttbaby]

[Chris punches him reassuringly in the shoulder.]

You can do it, man. Anybody would be lucky to contract with you.

[1stclasspuppy]

Yeah and same to you Chris. If you didn't already I would have asked you to contract as my best bro.

[He smiles a little and rubs at his face.]

I guess I should ask G'raha first. Would it be lame to text him or should I ask in person?

[buttbaby]

You could text him and suggest you meet up. Say you want to talk to him about maybe contracting.

[1stclasspuppy]

Yeah, man you're good at this. How do you not have like 20 boyfriends and girlfriends right now?

[He takes out his device and is going to do that right now actually.]

[buttbaby]

I have some hardcore emotional issues, that's probably why.

[Adrian warned him against introspection, but sometimes, this shit just comes out.]

But I do have one boyfriend, which is more than I ever had before.

[1stclasspuppy]

Whoa you got a boyfriend!? Oh I'm so happy for you man!

[Zack's getting up and giving Chris a hug now, totes needs to hug his bro over this.]

Whose the lucky guy??

[buttbaby]

Uh, Quentin Beck.

[He smiles and sorta hugs-pats back. Dude, c'mon. Be cool.]

Also goes by Mysterio sometimes.

[1stclasspuppy]

Oh I know Quentin! He gives the best hugs and has great taste in pizza.

[The hugs aren't like the ones from the other day and he does let go of Chris after a few pats in return]

I'm really happy for you man, seriously. Oh maybe you can get him flowers, I can deliver them for you too.

[buttbaby]

You know what? I just fucking might.

[Even though it's not very manly or whatever.]

I just need to think of something to put on the card.

[1stclasspuppy]

Oh, can I help?

[He did have a girlfriend once and she loved flowers.]

How about something like "You make me feel like the most special guy in this world" and then you can sign it love Chris?

[buttbaby]

Huh. That's a bit corny. How about...

"Dude, you can blast my dick anytime"? Heart Chris.

It's kind of an inside joke.

[1stclasspuppy]

[Zack just laughs a little at that and nods.]

If it's an inside joke then I bet he'd love it.

Actually you know what? I think I might get G'raha flowers too. Even if he doesn't want to contract with me he can have some pretty flowers to make his room look nicer anyway. What do you think?

[buttbaby]

I think that's a cool idea.

I bet he'll like it. And if he doesn't that's his problem.

[1stclasspuppy]

Hrm...I wonder if Ororo could maybe put some frost on some of the flowers. G'raha has these pretty crystal marks on his face and I'd like to maybe give him flowers that look like him. Maybe roses with snow crystals on them?

[He smiles at the thought, he's for sure gonna ask Ororo for some help.]

What about for Quentin? Do you have flowers in mind?

[buttbaby]

Dude, that's like, super thoughtful. He'll love it.

[He's quiet for a moment, thinking.]

I don't know much about flowers but they've gotta be a mix of purple and red ones. After our superhero and supervillain uniforms. Maybe with some blue, white and yellow thrown in 'cause I've got those too.

[1stclasspuppy]

Aww thanks! I hope Ororo can do that.

[He gets a bit starry eyed at Chris' idea for flowers.]

Chris that's so romantic! I think we can totally do a colorful bouquet like that. Quentin's going to love it. Do you want me to maybe give you the flowers so you can see his face and give them to him yourself?

[buttbaby]

I dunno. I think it'd be cooler if you delivered them.

[And way less scary to him personally. He has toxic masculinity, okay? He's not supposed to give guys flowers.]
