Chapter Text
“Hey Ax-man,” Marco said, one day when visiting the scoop out of the blue. Tobias wasn’t around, probably flying around, keeping watch.
<Marco,> Ax greeted him.
“We should do something. Go to a movie or something?” Marco bit his lip and ran his hand through his longish hair. Maybe I should get a haircut or something, he thought.
<That sounds agreeable,> Ax said, nodding.
“Awesome,” Marco said, grinning. He couldn’t believe it had been that easy. “Let’s go tomorrow, at two. Dad’s expecting me home soon.” He looked up at the darkening sky above them. At Ax’s nod, Marco smiled and waved goodbye.

Marco tapped his foot nervously and almost impatiently. He glanced around, and lifted his hand to wave at Ax when he noticed Tobias walking with him. He kept smiling, though, and waited as they approached.
“Hey, Ax-man. Tobias.” He nodded at the both of them, trying to keep the disappointment from his voice.
“Hello, Marco. Marrr. Coo,” Ax said, repeating sounds like always. “Tobias wished to come as well. Elll.”
“I noticed.”
They started walking to the entrance of the movie theater before they heard someone call them. Marco, Ax, and Tobias turned to see the rest of the group approaching them. “Hey,” Rachel said brightly. “Heard you guys were watching a movie.”
“Er, yeah,” Marco said.
“Don’t mind if we join, then?” Rachel said, grabbing Tobias’s hand and swinging it in hers.
“I guess not…,” Marco muttered, stalking his way into the movie theater.
Cassie tilted her head curiously. “Hey Ax?” she asked, catching up with him.
“Yesssss?” Ax responded, stretching out the word.
“What did Marco say when he talked about going to the movies?”
“He said we should go see a movie. I agreed and asked Tobias if he would like to go.”
Cassie glanced back to Marco, who was a few steps ahead paying for tickets and snacks.
