Work Text:
Gage just stared at the sole survivor, trying to see if there were any logical reasons for this...
"Uh... Boss?" He took a deep breath, sole survivor smirks "yeah, Gage?"
"What... what the fuck is on your face?"
The overboss takes off his cappy sunglasses, "these?"
Gage nods slowly, not sure if this was one of those silly pranks or if his boss have really lost it.
He leads Gage towards a wall, some raiders stop their patrolling to stare, Gage shrugs so they can see he also have no idea wtf is going on.
"Alright."
"...alright?" Gage repeat.
"What do you see?" Sole survivor points at a bare wall, Gage is really seeing evidence that his boss have lost it.
"A wall."
"Just a wall?"
"Concrete wall?"
"You can't see anything on it?" Sole survivor smirks, Gage stares at the wall again, shakes his head "it's just a wall, boss."
The overboss takes the glasses off and place them on his second in command.
He leans closer to his ear, "how about now?"
"What... the actual fuck..." Gage takes off his glasses, then on, then off again, "theres a... cap"
"Cappy"
"With a letter"
"You know what this means, my sweet Gage?"
Gage could feel the abyss grab him by the ankles again, this gave off the same energy as the pie machine, all colour drained from his face, as if he had taken jet, time slowed down.
"Boss... please... no"
Sole survivor grabbed Gage's arm and dragged him towards the front gate "We're going treasure hunting!"
