///////////////////////////

Red Son was still in his workshop, fixing up his car an geering it up. Despite the late hour and aches in his muscles, he wouldn't rest until he finished his project.

Sweat and oil stained his black tank top he wore when he worked around his machines. He had red, loose pants with many pockets and a belt full of tools, so he had everything in arms reach. White cloth was resting over his shoulder, he occasionally wiped sweat from his forehead.

He had some background music on, some heavy metal mixed with rock. Long playlist runs over and over letting him relax more and focus fully on the line of tasks.

Then he heard a loud thud somewhere from the corridor. He was surprised he even coughed that in all the music and loud noises he himself made. He wipes his hands, leaving the cloth on the mask of a car and goes to investigate.

He sees a few traps activated on his way. He furrows his brows, hammer in his hand, ready to fight off the intruder, until he actually sees him.

He crosses arms over his chest, annoyance paints on his face as he looks at the boy in the net.

"What are you doing here Noodle Boy?" he asks, irritated, as he snaps his fingers and the room lightents itself.

"Red Boy!" MK chirps excitedly, turning inside the net to face him, his eyes shining happily at the sight of the friend "Hiiii! Good evening to you too! I see you got some new traps-" he chuckles lightly.

"What are you doing here? It's almost midnight." Red Son pulls a lever and the net with the boy falls to the ground.

"Oh, I was bored," the monkey boy stands up, getting out of the net and dusts himself off, "but Mei is on some boring trip with her parents." he huffs with an exaggerated way, "So I thought to myself, hm, what is Red Boy up to those days?" he gestures a lot as he talks, "And then decided to come to see you, and you know, gossip and maybe watch a movie. I know, I have only great ideas." he smiles wide.

"Ughhh, you can't just break into my parents' fortress uninvited." he massages his brows with one hand as he tries to comprehend the extent of the boy's irresponsibility and thoughtlessness.

"Whaaaat? Why?" he waves his hand carefree "You'll see, we're gonna have such a fun sleepover at your place." he chirps and seeing a skeptical look on Red's face he clenches his hands together and pulls out puppy eyes trick "Pleeeeeeeease Red." he stretches out sweetly.

"Uh, fine." Red Son huffs, "Follow me if you want to live." he gestures to him and starts to walk down the corridor, "And remember. This is the last time I let you in uninvited." he warns harshly.

"Yassssss!" MK jumps after him with a wide smile, his monkey form flickering a bit as his tail jumps in excitement.

"Shh! You're gonna wake up my parents." Red scolds him, his hair ablaze for a moment.

"Ah, sorry-" MK shoots him an apologetic look, "Yassss!" he repeats in a whisper, but the sound still holds the same excitement.

Red Son shakes his head in defeat, but a soft smile passes his lips briefly, as he listens to MK talk his ears off.

As they got to the workshop, he turned the music down, letting it to be only a background noise as he continued his work. He listens to the new tune, one of the MK's voice. The boy shares gossip, random info dumps and stories of his fights with the Bull's son.

From time to time he gestures to him to give him one of the tools, as the boy paces back and forth as he talks, as if sitting in one place would kill him. Red Son smiles, finding it cute in a way. Especially as he takes on the monkey form to swing upside down on the pipes near the ceiling.

As he asked the monkey boy to help him, and lift the car up a bit, he got speechless for a moment. Blush covering his face and his hair ablaze as MK's shirt lifts up slightly, revealing the fruits of his training, slightly sweaty as it's pretty hot in the fortress.

Red thoughts, for the first time in his life, he felt so hot here as well.

But he brushes it off and gets back to work, focusing on the tasks at hand and MK's story.

And it actually turned out the time spent in the workshop ended up being more relaxing and fun than ever before.

He starts to consider to start inviting MK over from time to time...

Yes. That was a good idea.

He only has good ideas after all.
