what are you, my dad? (closed)

[tradecraftdude]

who. Marco tradecraftdude and Prowl fun_police
what. Marco pushes his ability to escape consequences.
where. their swank pad.
when. backdated to immediately after the kill post
warnings. secure your tables.

[ By the time Marco finally reaches to the door, he's completely wiped out. It's been a long day, and he's spent every ounce of energy he has in him keeping his thoughts more or less in check. He knows it's not over yet, but all he wants to do is fall over and veg out for a week and deal with everything else later.

So he slips in and drops his shoes one at a time, then his delivery boy jacket, in a line straight from the door to the couch, where he proceeds to flop down and flip on the little viewscreen-tv without skipping a beat.

It's channel-surfing time, baby. ]

Fine! You're right! I'm outta here.

[ and marco does turn around; he hops off the back of the couch and goes for his shoes. mostly because he doesn't want to face prowl after the last bit of that exchange. ]

Where do you think you're going? Did you not listen to a word I said?

[Prowl circles around the couch to follow him, but doesn't stop him from putting on his shoes.]

Your best option is to stay indoors.

psht, teenagers

[ marco keeps his head down; nominally, it's because he's pulling on his shoes, but it's another convenient excuse to not have to look at prowl. ]

To chill out with someone who's not going to be a total jerk about everything. That okay with you, dad?

[ his voice wavers on that last word, though. he didn't want to take things that far; somewhere, in a different universe, he'd gone missing from his actual dad.

never mind that. he's grabbing his jacket, too. ]

how do teenagers even work

[fun_police]

[Although he's never dealt with human children in particular, he recognizes this type of behavior.]

[He'll be back after some thought.]

[That doesn't mean Prowl is going to let him walk around on his own, of course. Not after what he'd just done. He says nothing further to Marco as he makes his way out.]
