Chapter Text
Boombox went back to his apartment after the Phight to chill for a bit.
Knock Knock Knock
"Huh, whose there?" Boombox shouted.
"Uh, me! Skate!"
"Oh!"
Boombox went to his door and opened it to see Skate standing with a duffel bag.
"Whaddya need?"
"Oh, uh, I kinda got kicked out from my place."
"How?"
"I got a little too crazy, and accidentally, um, kinda caused a whole infestation of crickets in the buiding as a prank..."
"Dude what."
"I know it may seem crazy, but can I mayyyybbbbeeeeeeeee stay at your place?"
"Sure, just don't mess with any of my music stuff."
"Alright!"
Skateboard shuffled in the apartment and started to put his sleeping bag down on the couch.
Boombox closed the door, locked it, and went back to his music board.
"So, uh, got anything to drink?"
"I'm sure I have something..."
Boombox pointed to the fridge and Skate walked to it, opening it and checking for anything.
"Got it."
Skate walked back to the couch and cracked open the soda.
He took out his phone and headphones to scroll for a bit before night came.
A few hours walked by and now it was dark outside.
"Alright, going out to skate."
"What? It's dark!"
"So?"
"If you're going, then I'm coming to make sure you're safe."
"Okay."
The two left the apartment and went down to the skatepark to hangout for a bit.
"Alright, I'll just sit here."
"Sure."
Soon, a whole crowd came to the skatepark to ride.
"Woah! is it always this crowded?"
"Yup! Also why I come here to skate!"
Boombox noticed Coil among the crowd entering a ring of people of sorts.
"Huh? Is that Coil?"
Boombox slowly pushed through the crowd to see what was happening and saw Coil phighting another person.
"Dude! What are you doing!?"
"Wha-" Coil yelled before getting thrown down to the ground by another Infernal.
Boombox immediately ran to the center to help Coil up.
"What are you doing???" Boombox shrieked.
"Heh, just phighting, why?" Coil gasped while getting up.
"Dude, I'm getting you out of this."
"Why?"
"Cuz I don't want you getting hurt!"
"Pshh, you're so cheesy."
"I'm serious, we're leaving."
"Skate!" Boombox shouted across the skatepark.
"What?"
"We gotta go!"
"C'mon, a FEW minutes?"
"Seriously!"
"Fine, fine!"
Skate did one last trick before running up to the group.
"Hey! Coil, when did you get here?"
"Yo."
Boombox led them to an alley to talk.
"Coil. What were you doing!?"
"Phighting?"
"You could've gotten hurt!"
"Why should you care?"
"Because you are my friend!"
"Dude, I'll be fine."
"I just don't want you to throw your body away."
"...I'll be fine, thank you."
"I'm serious about this."
"Yeah, fine."
"Skate," Boom said, "We should go back now, it's been an hour."
"Fine..."
"Alright, we're leaving Coil, please don't get hurt while we're away."
"Yeah, yeah."
After Boombox and Skateboard came back to the apartment, they showered and prepared for sleep.
"I'll just continue working on my music, I don't really care what you do, just please don't be loud."
"Aight."
Soon, Skate was fast asleep after closing his eyes for a few minutes.
Not later after, Boombox got on his bed and closed off the lights.
"Hello, Medkit."
"What do you want?"
"I just want to see what you have been working on. After all, it is getting dark."
"I'll be fine, just finding a solution to a problem I have."
"...Have a goodnight."
"Yeah, you too Hyperlaser."
Medkit drove back to his home to clean himself up and sleep for the night.
RING RING RING

"What?"
"Yeah, you're going to have to work with [REDACTED] just deal with it."
"But-"
"No trying to get yourself out of this."
"I-...fine."
"Great! I'll see you tomorrow with [REDACTED}!"
