Work Text:
It’s not how Genba thought he’d be spending a winter eve, but missions of an usual type were welcome in his life of procurement. It’s not like he had a choice in the matter anyway.
He’d been taken aside by the man who’d only briefly met them before rather suddenly, with stark red hair and a stressed expression, holding Genba’s collar shaking him back and forth in the moment.
“ Hey BoonboomOrange! You gotta help us! I’ll pay you guys back- You’re the guy who gets stuff right?! Come on! “ Sosuke was quite loudly demanding. Genba shook out of the grip and dusted himself off, frazzled by the surprise of the encounter.
“ I am, but I do request you would be easier on me the next event you want- “
Sosuke shook his head and gripped his own hair “ No time for that! Okay look, we’re tryna get Hant and Gunpei outta their work, organized a party but they can’t come and it’s in an hour-! “ He shoved an envelope into Genba’s hands the other swatting at the air to catch it after he almost dropped it from the force.
“ At least for the rest of the day, right? Okay? Good! We’re getting Gunpei out of work, just go do Hant, the first shop 2 blocks down, blue or something! “ He’s running on the spot, eager to leave, expecting Genba to respond. The orange-haired one opened the envelope to see some cash and some… frankly hideous handwriting with scribbles down of the two he was to track down. Genba sighed, shaking his head with a smile.
“ Guess it can’t be helped- “
“ Awesome! Let’s go Speedor at FULL SPEED! See you BoonBoomOrange! “ He’s off like a flash, leaving Genba to stare at a wall with his eyebrows raised. Never a dull moment after he’d joined the Boonboomgers was there?
Getting Hant out was easy with what skills Genba had in forgery of notes and papers he may have used once upon a time when he was less able to come along cash on Earth. Genba had made sure to make himself as anonymous as possible in the process, concealing clothing and a couple of changes to his appearance. He kept it as a priority to make sure Hant would come into trouble by having done the whole process, having learned the craft in occasionally being commissioned to ‘procure’ people away from situations.
It was easy enough, and soon Genba was pushing Hant out of the door the other giving small complaints of confusion “ I have to deliver you away now to fulfill my end of the deal~ Sosuke’s request! “
“ Huh? Why would he- Oh the party! I forgot! “ Hant finally found his footing once he was less confused, parting away from Genba’s hands at his back to walk forward. “ Thanks uh… “
“ Get going now~ “ Genba shooed the man.
“ Right-! “ Hant turned and started to run for it, Genba holding a hand to to top of the hat he was wearing. Another deal done and dusted easily…

He made sure at least to keep an eye on Hant once the man was on the way out, now hanging onto the arm of, who he could guess to be Gunpei by the description he’d been given. Not much point to Genba having it since clearly Sosuke had it covered when he rushed off, but he wouldn’t worry about such things. Genba hid while watching them happily walk down the street, giving a small hum to himself. Their talk of sweet things to each other, excitment radiating between them about their event, grinning with cards and an invite to it in Hant's hand. All of it made Genba have a small grin to himself about how he’d been welcomed back that time ago, to cake and smiles from those he cared for. A party from humans was so unique and wonderful...
’ Parties really are special… Enjoy yours then~ ‘ Genba thought to himself as he slinked off into the shadows to go about his business.
