Subspace stepped into the apartment of his dear mercenary for his 'date'. he had gotten all dressed up for it! (He even SHOWERED!!!!!!!) Got out of the outfit he's been wearing for who knows how long and uhm,, tried to brush his hair to inevitably give up because 'oh my swords I don't fucking care' and his shitty plastic comb broke...ahah
Princess had curiously (and cautiously) walked up to Subspace before remembering that she knew him already. To cut her some slack, Subspace isn't the... Cleanest.. and never looks okay..,(sane) so she has no idea who is is for a second. Hyperlaser had followed after the cat, fully expecting Subspace to not even had changed- but no.. uh- holy moly
"Hiiii Hypertaser!!!!"
Hyperlaser clears his throat, not bothering to correct him... again Subspace knows it's not his name but he also knows that the scientist does it because he's objectively an asshole
"Ahem,, Hello Subspace. Nice... Skirt?"
"Aweee, you noticed!"
Subspace carefully picks up Princess, holding her like a little new spawn. With about the same care he puts into his creations. It's almost cute... Almost, because it's still Subspace...and princess is the most adorable kitty ever so of course she makes it cute!!!!
"Yeah.. you actually cleaned up for a pure... Work-"
"Date." Subspace cuts him off and corrects him
Hyperlaser rolls his eyes, even though he knows the helmet is far to thick to see through.
"Date." The mercenary steps closer just enough to scratch under Princess's chin "you know, I made dinner.."
"Oh?" Subspace tilts his head"you didn't have to"
"I don't mind, Really"Hyperlaser nods along with his own words, truly, he wanted to do something nice you know? Maybe actually talk to [JUST HIS BOSS NOTHING MORE AMIRITE GUYS] for once without getting told to kill a weird teal man that Subspace yaps about.
Subspace doesn't exactly know what to say here.,,, has he SERIOUSLY been SO caught up on talking about that damn 'medic' that he hasn't told dear Hyperlaser that HE CANT TASTE? PHUUUUUUCCKKKKKKKKK....
"Oh" Say something you dumb rat!!!! "Okay" nailed it!!!
"...do you want to come eat then?" Hyperlaser asks
Subspace kneels down and puts princess down with the same care he picked her up with, then stood back up "Sure! Ahah.."
"Follow" Hyperlaser turns and starts walking to a small dining table near the kitchen, his apartment wasn't huge but it was liveable. Subspace personally, did almost everything in his lab, he barely used the small 'bedroom' off to the side of it when he can just sleep at his desk, or on the floor.. idk he normally ends up collapsing so it doesn't matter and that's not very silly but who cares (I know a certain mercenary that does- my bad whoops)
"Okay!" Subspace just follows then sits at one of the two chairs as Hyperlaser sets a bowl in front of him and where he himself is gonna sit
Hyperlaser sits across the scientist, he already had the table set beforehand so he doesn't have to do that now thankfully. Princess is already sat by the table trying to get ahold of any scraps that drop, but eh the beans in the soup are seasoned and he doesn't want to accidentally hurt her
"Don't give her any."
Hyperlaser removes his helmet, setting it on his lap(btw if your newgen, he can't see now🤯😂🔥)
And Subspace's follow suit and unclips his mask, setting it in his own lap, (pretend his rot doesn't like,, poison people ok because Hyperlaser needs to be alive for Subspace be gay for him)
Subspace looks into his bowl, theres Tomatoes... He has never liked tomatoes... But why the fuck is he picky over food he can't taste? I dunno but it's ickkkyyy:(
Shut up...oh my swords..
He folds over the napkin near him and lowkey starts picking out the tomatoes out OF the soup like a child that doesn't wanna eat their veggies like... Whatdafuck
They eat in silence only broken by Princess's occasional meows'when subspace moves his paw because she's laying on it, looking up at him. Neither inphernal know exactly what to say, and their both eating of course. Hyperlaser finishes first and puts his helmet back on and almost laughs when he sees the small pile of tomatoes that subspace plucked out of his soup
"Don't like those,, huh?"
"Eh-? Oh..., yeah..,,"
"You can just throw them away thats fine" Hyperlaser says, standing up to put him bowl in the sink, he'll just wash it later "when you finish just put your bowl in the sink" he sits back down at the table
"Alright, Kool" he tries to finsh as quickly as he can because he lowkey doesn't like particularly want Hyperlaser watching him eat lol... So he finishes shortly after him and stands up with his bowl n napkin full o Tomatoes. princess falling off his paw as he moves, she meows before standing up and following Subspace. (Maybe he has a cookie in his pocket or smth /ref) He throws away the napkin n sets his bowl in the sink, walking back to the table n sitting across from Hypertaser once more princess now jumping onto the couch because Subspace moves to much to be a pillow ig.
"So what do you want to even do now?" Subspace asks, knowing it is kinda late and he'll have to drive home in like the dark but eh, doesn't matter, it's Hyperlaser, he's worth it
"Uhm..,, I have cards.. we could also-"
"Cards is Kool, I like cards, oh you were still talking.. uh continue"
"I was, yeah, but we could watch a movie. I don't know if you want to watch one with me. I pause em alot"
"I'm okay with both. I don't watch movies often, you know, being an important scientist for korblox, aka the head of the korblox robotics and engineering department comes with important problems for an important inphernal such as myself-"
"Okay, Subspace, I get it, your important"
"Awe thank uuuu Hyperlaserrr"
"It's LASER not- oh you said it right, thank you"
"Of course"
