The boys are all clapping each other on the backs and gearing up to revel. The girls are mostly in their laps or being led off somewhere else in the name of getting to it. Atlas gets up to leave, and a hand catches them by the wrist. Its owner shoots them a familiar grin. They manage not to wrinkle their nose.

"Not right now, I'm gonna catch up with the Rocket stiff."

The hand lets them go, the grin replaced with a knowing smile.

"Oh fuck off," is all they offer in response before hurrying out the door and after the aforementioned stiff, who was giving the gang reason to celebrate no more than a minute or so ago.

The air is bracing. Goldenrod on an autumn night. The breeze runs right through the thin cloth of Atlas's tank-top and cuts at their mostly bare legs. A tug at their shorts offers only moderately better coverage.

"Hey! Wait up!" They yell after the man and kick into a jog to catch up to him.

theo turns and slows just enough. eventually, they're side by side, though his gaze remains fixed on the streets of goldenrod, keen on ending his night.

fishing a cigarette out of his pocket, he lights it, inhales, exhales.

"not going back on our deal, are you?"

he sure hopes not. that'd make things complicated for both of them.

Atlas's sneakers squeak as they slow to a saunter next to Theo. Their arms wrap around their body, hands clutching to biceps, once they're no longer needed to scare off side stitches.

They scoff at the question the Rocket poses.

"Not at all," Atlas replies, "all of us are still keen to keep our heads."

A beat.

"I guess I just have . . . questions? About Rocket. I know you're a big deal in Kanto but Johto still doesn't know shit about you beyond that."

johto will know soon enough. until then, he supposes these questions are unavoidable. at least one of them's shown enough interest to follow after him even after the deal is done.

so, entertaining young atlas, theo turns, asks:

"what do you want to know?"

For a moment Atlas feels anxious. Maybe a little silly. Who the fuck cares if they've got questions? But then Theo replies and Atlas nods. Okay, cool, apparently he does.

"So, like, Rocket it's . . . it's more, than we are," Atlas begins cautiously, "and I know you told us we'd have to operate a bit differently. I was wondering what, god this is ridiculous, I was wondering what your, like --"

They sound like such a stupid fucking kid, why can't they just get their thoughts out.

"What's your deal. The guys, they care about fast times and a warm box and the money to make it happen. And the structure kind of follows. How is it any different for you stiffs?"

The air whips by again and Atlas winces, pulls their flapping shirt down over purple skin. Tries not to wince when their fingers press against it.

much more.

"my deal?"

it feels mundane to repeat it but the absurdity of it sticks with him. he even coughs out a chuckle that's muffled by the wind.

"rocket cares about power, control, and kanto is just the start for us."

his finger taps, scattering ash before bringing the cigarette back to his lips.

"why do you think we're here now? in johto?"
