"you have a date? how much did you pay them?"

crashing their date with another person purposely

^ and it all was definitely out of spite. not because they were jealous. never. totally not.

sending them flowers that they just know sets off their allergies

^ probably left with some smartass note too

laughing at them simply because they seem to care about the holiday

"you celebrate this corny day?" "just say you're lonely and have no one to spend it with, next time, 'kay?"

"i told my friends i'd go on this stupid double date with them." "and that's my business because..?" "..i don't have a date."

catfishing the hell out of them online leading up to the holiday

and then it backfiring because they realize, they're actually pretty nice and sweet outside of all the arguing.

"i thought bringing you roses would be a romantic! you know!?" "not when they still have the thorns on them, dumbass!"

giving them those boxed chocolates, but replacing the filling with something else instead (like wasabi for example lmao)

"you've been teasing me all this time about being single just for you to get stood up?" "....." "move over, you're lucky i'm hungry."

giving the other candies because it was simply "left over" and "definitely stale"

If there's anything the man enjoys during day offs, it's to tinker with machines and find ways to improve said machine. So it's not rare to find him in the small of his workshop on this fine day--or at least Skull's determined to make it into one, ignoring the uninvited visitor knocking at the door; the music blasting off his speakers not enough to drown out the noise.

He was happily humming to himself beneath the car, even as the familiar voice made him halt for a moment, wondering where he'd heard that voice before... but all of that was cut short instantly as his voice echoed throughout his workshop. And Skull freezes up, drops the screw in his hand onto his face and yelps at the sudden change in events. "Ouch!!! Reborn!??" Of course the tiny screw didn't hurt him in the slightest - he is the strongest Stuntman in existence after all!! - but Reborn's voice and the suddenness of it certainly hurt him on a mental level.

A few fidgety moments later, the man finally removes himself from beneath his car, mimic a mixture of irritation, mild fear and then ... surprise coupled with annoyance and admittedly, relief. "Oi!! Viper!! What'd you do that for!!" Purple eyes showing signs of betrayal, glaring at the shorter for a few more moments before involuntarily torn away due to curiosity and glancing at the device in their hand.

"Huh?" Some more moments pass, silence stretches as his brain connects the dots. Viper isn't someone to show themself if they didn't need anything, least of all in front of Skull. Granted, they're not on bad terms - none of the former Arcobalenos are - but they're not necessarily on good terms either. So for them to appear before him only means that it's something important to them or some sort of trick again.

"wha-" they let out, "you can fix these big machines, but a little mechanism that goes tick tock is stumbling your extraordinary talents?" they taunted, knowing full well they were being mean, possibly somewhat manipulative, but it's skull, eager to impress. and god, they needed this watch to be fixed.

"i mean, it's cars yesterday, watches today, televisions and computers tomorrow and then guns and pipettes, or something." they mumbled. "just imagine, how impressed everyone would be, i would love you for the watch, and then just, picture this, my favourite little baby lackey-"

mist flames covered the entire garage as an image of reborn forms, eyes shining, like some fangirls meeting their favourite pop idol. and then, colonnello, fon, verde, all leaning in, on their knees, voices filled the room with words of admiration for skull. and then la-, never mind, that would be stretching even viper's imagination a bit too far.

Noting that Mammon was trying to move, he was worriedly hovering around them. He could help guide Mammon to wherever they needed to go, but, it was hard to gauge what Mammon needed with them only being able to collapse onto the chair.

mammon wondered for a second if it was worth pushing through a few bills and datas to tide away the pain, somehow work the pain away. but they knew that fon, in his full stupid, annoying, nosey nature wouldn't allow them to.
