"WHAT!? you knew my father?" asked Moxxie.
"Not on friendship grounds," I say. "I met him at the pit, and he was a colossal asshole. I've seen him off and on when I was an overlord. "
I was sitting in the break room with M/M on our break while we waited for our next job.
"I last saw him at the summit a couple of years ago before I came here. "
"The Summit, the last one that took place was the truce. Does that mean you?-".
"Yeah, I sat the families down to broker the deal."
"That's incredible. The families have been fighting for years."
"Part of my allure is nobody wants to say no to me in negotiations. So I brokered peace between them and got them to cooperate, fear based peace is fragile, but it's peace nonetheless".
"That's hardcore, honey," says Millie. "It sounds like you've done a lot in your time."
"I do ok," I say.
"Ha, so modest," says Millie.
"How's your family Mills?".
"Everyone's busy at the ranch these days. I know the boys are rough and tumbling Their way through things and Sallie Mae is still doing her thing at the head of the table. Mama and Daddy are still going through the day to day so far, but otherwise, it's still good."
"That's good to know, I'd love to meet the rest of them sometime."
"I'm sure they'd love to meet you too,"
"How'd you guys get together?"
"Blitz found me when I was freelancing. I was working for whoever would pay me and would take whatever job was offered. I was essentially working for peanuts. He found me in a bar after a job. After a lengthy bar fight, he wore me down, and I accepted his offer. I met Moxxie, and we started working together more and more. Eventually, he asked me out, and we just fell in love. When he asked me to marry him, it was the best moment of my life, and I never looked back."
"I bet you were head over heels for her, eh, Mox?".
"Oh instantly, I had it down bad."
"I thought he was cute.. a little weird and quiet, but he was adorable, and I had a good feeling about him. That feeling led to us being together after all this time,"
"You guys are an amazing couple."
"Thanks, sugar, who knows... Maybe you'll find someone and get hitched, too?".
"I don't know about that, to be honest. After I lost Maria, I've kinda been in a self-imposed celibacy and isolation. As it is, I don't think there's any girl that would be interested in someone like me. "
"You sure about that?" she asks.
"What do you mean?".
Can I ask you something, sugar?".
"Sure?".
"Is there something going on between you and Loona?".
"Not that I know of."
"Have you noticed lately that Loona's acting different lately?".
"Not really".
"Well, I've noticed lately that Loona's attitude has changed since you showed up here. She looks at you like a lovesick teenager, and the way she follows you around like a puppy dog, if you'll forgive the expression. "
"You guys really think so?".
"And I've seen the way you interact with her. You both clearly have a thing for each other. Why don't you try asking her out? "
