Work Text:
Impulse sat by the home phone while it dialled the number he had input.
Skizz taught him how to call in case he ever needed anything, even if it was just to chat.
Which he did often-
You couldn’t really blame the borrower though, when Skizz went to work everything got really boring.
He would watch TV or maybe dismantle old electronics.
But after meeting Skizz doing the same thing everyday had gotten dull.
The Phone went to voicemail and Skizz’s voice echoed over the machine
“Hey there you have reached Skizz Leman, I guess I couldn’t answer you right at this moment but I’ll try to get back you as soon as I can- mmm byyyeeeee-“
Impulse hung up before the message tone could beep-
Skizz was probably in another meeting for his job.
They seemed to do a lot of those
And seemed to really rely on Skizz lead most of them too.
So it probably wasn’t really fair that he also had to talk to Impulse on top of it all.
It’s fine-
This was fine
He could go see what Skizz left in Terms of Food in the kitchen.
He was just about to make his way back down the side table when the phone rang again-
This time for a call
Impulse dashed back over to the annoying machine and pressed accept when he saw Skizz’s number calling him back
“Hello?”
“Hey Buddeh- how you doing?” Skizz replied cheerfully, and Impulse’s bored vanished
“I’m good, just doing what I normally do-“
“Is the TV remote okay???!!!”
Impulse laughed “yeah yeah it’s fine, was watching stuff earlier this morning-“
“thank goodness-“
“I found an old pair of headphones in a closet that I might dismantle later though-“
“Oh- well, it’s probably fine I don’t really use headphones any more.”
“I figured- how have you been doing?”
“Same old, same old over here Dipple Dop- boards and meetings, board meetings and boring meetings.”
“I still don’t understand your job-“
“Me neither Buddeh- but hey something did kinda happen today-“
“Oh?”
“Yeah a couple of work buddies found out I played poker and wanted to play sometime, so that’ll be fun.”
“Hey that is pretty fun, you gunna do it?”
“Probably- we’re just trying to find a place to meet up- Zeddy Bop lives in an apartment smaller than ours and Scar Face’s house is currently undergoing some necessary renovations.”
“Why not invite them here?”
“Wha-…. … well I just assumed… it’s not really fair to invade your space like that with a bunch of friends from work.”
“It’s okay- I could just hide away in our room and watch some shows- or…. Maybe… I can meet… them??”
Impulse’s adrenaline spiked at the thought of meeting other humans, but- Skizz was nice.
So His friends probably were too.
“Well… dude are you sure about that??”
“Kinda? That was an impulsive thing to say but.. if they are anything like you I don’t see why I can’t?”
“how bout you think it over a bit and-“
“Either way you should invite them over-“
“What??”
Skizz genuinely sounded baffled-
“Like I said- if I don’t end up meeting them I can just hide out- but it could….
It could be a good thing.”
“I-“ Skizz was cut off by some chatter he couldn’t quite make out through the phone.
“What?-
…
Okay yeah-
…
I’ll be there in a bit.
Sorry Impy I just-
..
Hey! I said I’ll be there let me say bye to my buddy-
Geez-
Sorry man, I gotta go, we’ll chat more bout this when I get home M’kay?”
“Yah okay, bye Skizz-“
“Bye Dipple Dop,”
And with that he hung up.
Leaving Impulse back with the dull ring of the Phone to fill the silence.
