Characters: Kevin, Forge
Setting: Brunch!
Content: Bros before hos, yo.
Status: Closed, incomplete

[Kevin is actually shouting with glee. He's pumped. He's taking his car out for a spin -- literally. The screeching of the car's tires are so horrendous to the ears that the screams from Kevin (clutching the steering wheel, shades on, laughing) and Forge (passenger seat, muscled arm out the open window gripping the roof of the car, also laughing) are all but drowned out. The tires are letting out one loud, continuous scream on the pavement as Kevin makes donut after donut with the car.

The plan was this: Get some gas, hit up this awesome brunch place that Tony Stark once treated Forge to, then go back home. But once Kevin realized the extent of Forge's tune-ups to his inherited car, they'd gone a little nuts, postponed brunch for a bit, veered off into an empty lot, and started doing donuts.]

Woooooooooooooo!

[Forge laughs, glancing over at Kevin's excited face as the make another revolution. He has to yell to be heard over the engine and the tires and Kevin himself.]

So, you like the upgrades?!?!

[witheredecay.livejournal.com]

[Kevin has to shout back, and the car momentarily is taken out of its even spinning as he turns to look at Forge.] Hell yeah I like 'em!

[The car is still spinning, but Kevin eases up on the gas and finally takes the car out of the donuts and circles the empty parking lot (in the normal way, and not in a spinning-out-of-control way) almost as a cooldown session.]

Whew! [He and Forge both crack up a bit, as they heave sighs coming down from that high.]

Now that we've seen that upgrade... Ready for some food?

[forgingthings.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah I am! [He thumps the roof of the car enthusiastically.] I programmed the deets into your GPS, bro. Let's blow this pop stand!

[Kevin just shakes his head in pleasant disbelief as he turns the car back down to the freeway. There hadn't been a GPS in the car before. Somehow, having been ditched by the Brotherhood, impounded, and then rescued by Forge was the best thing to ever happen to this car.]

So, tell me. What's so great about this place?

[forgingthings.livejournal.com]

Only everything! [Forge is silently pleased at how pleased Kevin is with all the upgrades. He takes prides in fostering lost or abandoned tech, making it more useful and loved.] Eggs benny, mimosas, bloody marys to die for! Plus, if you know Tony, you know he doesn't recommend anywhere that isn't top-notch. He loves to show off to the competition, and I'm the competition.

[Kevin is still marveling over the car, and even though he listened to what Forge said about brunch - and Tony Stark! - right he's too busy beaming over the car. Every time they've had a change in topic, the conversation has gone right back to the car.]

Do you like cars? I mean, cars in general, not just in your usual fixing-up-stuff sort of way?

[forgingthings.livejournal.com]

[Forge shrugs; it's a bit of a trick question.] I like anything with moving parts, dude. Fixing those parts and making them better is just part of the love.

[witheredecay.livejournal.com]

[Kevin nods appreciatively.] Well, you sure made this car happy. This engine is purring. I've always heard people describing cars like that, but this car is actually doing it!

[As they speed down the highway to their brunch, Forge continues to babble on about the specifics of what exactly he did to the car. One of those things is to include an auxiliary cable plug, which he shows off to Kevin by hooking in his iPod and putting on what he deems to be the great song about a car ever. Pretty soon the two boys are screaming again, but this time it's to Panama (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-NshzYK9y0).]

[Forge laughs at Kevin's pun, thinking how bad the joke is. Worse than Ali's! The screaming distracts him until they get closer to their destination.]

Oh man! I could eat a freakin' horse, bro!

HAHA oh dear, I don't even get the joke myself...

[witheredecay.livejournal.com]

[What can Kevin say, it's Ali's influence!

When they park and head into the brunch place, Kevin pats his car lovingly before locking it and following Forge through the doors. He breathes deeply when they go inside.]

Mm, real food. I could use real food.
