Diablo Donuts | Baltimore | Tuesday Evening

[knife_bender]

Diego decided it was time he and Five met on common ground to discuss...well he didn't know what they were going to discuss but they couldn't just keep ignoring each other. The island wasn't that big and Five was a student in his girlfriend's class for god's sake.

So after only minor bickering over who was going to drive (Diego won because it was his goddamn car), they found themselves at a donut place that for some reason had a donut with Old Bay on it. Maryland, man.

"Your son is so cute," the waitress said, sitting down two cups of black coffee in front of them.

Diego sighed. He hated his life. "Thank you."

[For the brother and NFB, self!]

"That wasn't me," Diego insisted. "That was me hanging out with my dumbass coworkers one time."

[apocalypsehow]

"Your co-workers?" Don't encourage him to investigate your work, Diego.

[knife_bender]

"I don't know!" Diego lifted up his hands in frustration, which only made him wince from his injury. "They're into some weird shit in Hawaii."

[apocalypsehow]

"Hawaii? Why would you come here?"

[knife_bender]

"I didn't go to Hawaii they're from Hawaii and they brought weird shit with them," Diego said. "I'm an innocent party here."

[apocalypsehow]

Five continued to level him with a deeply judgmental look. "Are you sure you didn't start it."

Because he knew you, Diego.

[knife_bender]

"Dude, ask either of them," Diego said. "Everything they touch explodes."

[apocalypsehow]

"Huh." Five was going to have to check this out. But right now he was ignoring the horrified looks from cars that passed him on the road.

[knife_bender]

"So how's school going?" Diego said, giving Five a sarcastic little smile.

[apocalypsehow]

"I'll abandon you here," Five warned.

[knife_bender]

Diego chuckled. "Just making friendly conversation, brother."

[apocalypsehow]

Five's hand lashed out to smack him on the chest like they really were 12 again.

[knife_bender]

"Ow, dick!" The hit hadn't hurt but it did make him jerk his bad arm. "See if I buy you donuts again."

The place got shot up before you even paid, Diego.

[apocalypsehow]

"You didn't even buy those."

Also, he ended up eating the Old Bay caramel one, so it evened out.

[knife_bender]

"Well I would have paid for it." You know, if things hadn't gone to hell.

And it's not like anyone would want the box Diego took anyway! It was tainted from the gun fight!

[apocalypsehow]

Oh yeah, he was doing them a favor, honestly.

"Well, next time I'll intend to pay before the gunfight breaks out."

[knife_bender]

Diego huffed. "It's a deal."

Look at that, they agreed there would be a next time. It was like they were having normal family interactions or something.
