Things had been changing between AuthLeft and AnCom ever since their first strike on the centrists, they had decided to go together to try to get the Socialist and Liberal on their side, a they didn't want to risk an ambush, and Tankie was worried about them running into the Ape.

And they were right in their decision, though Socialist was easy to dispose of, Nihilist had been trying to convert Liberal and Apepolitical had appeared at the scene too. Tankie and Anarkiddie had managed to protect each other, and something had clicked in that moment, when they almost lost each other, when they managed to help one another.

They had stared at one another for a moment, Anarkiddy breathing a little heavily, and Tankie at a loss for breath that he loathed to admit had nothing to do with the fight he was in.

"I. Thank you, Anarkiddy."

"Hey, any time, Tankie. And... Thank you, for saving me." they were standing too close to each other.

"Of course, comrade."

Both Leftists went back, thought they weren't successful in recruiting anyone, they hadn't lose any ideologies, not like the centrists did.

They weren't even bothered by the fact they had technically failed their mission, they were both oddly elated.

Que was bothered-- was that the right word?--, but not about the debate Tankie and quem were having, no, about the fact that he had just ceded a point to quem, Tankie had just admitted que was right about something. And que did it back moments later.

"I guess ve both have things to evaluate" Tankies voice wasn't calm, but it wasn't his usual agitated voice that would be present during what was frankly arguments instead of debates.

"Yeah, I mean. I. That's how these things are supposed to go right?" Somehow, ques voice was less scratchy than usual, que didn't know why that was and didn't want to evaluate, just like que refused to evaluate the strange feeling in quis chest.

Tankie was going through a similar dilema, he had just realized that Anarkiddy and him were... Awfully close. And they weren't about to start fighting. He was staring at Anarkiddy when he realized que has asked him something, he nodded mutely at quem. What the fuck was happening? 

He cleared his throat.

"Vould you like to... "Redistribute" Nazis food? He was being even more of jackass than usual." His voice was solid and slightly boisterous once again, but full of something else, something like joy or hope.

Quis face broke into a smile so wide if you even be seen through quis bandana, que nodded vigorously.

Moments later they were both eating most of Nazis food in an extra room the house for some reason had-- definitely not for plot romantic moments shhh-- while Nazi yelled about sending degenerate thieves to gas chambers.

Tankie was walking through the house, late at night when he heard AnCap and AnCom speaking about something frankly vague in the kitchen.

"Listen, you aren't very good at this, the most I'm willing to give you is 10 bucks and a bag of DMT." 

"Fiiiine, but you better follow my instructions well, you gay hippy."

He heard Anarkiddy sigh "It's not exactly GAY if I'm nonbinary, for the last ti-"

"Yes, yes blah blah it's technically queer but not everyone is comfortable with that label, whatever. What I'm saying is, a bottle of this, some candles and..."
