Sven’s Garage.
Hearing Svens laugh only made Completed narrowing his eyes at him (also mumbling something along the lines off ‘long haired cockwaffle-butt’), but still the younger one gladly went closer to the car, careful not touching it in fear for his other eye. Looking down in the engine he pretended to understand exactly what was going on, though the whole situation seemed pretty spanish to him. “Maybe you should hit it with a wrench or try asking it what is wrong?” A silly but pleased smile placed the boy’s face before taking a small step away from the holy automobile and Sven, now fearing for his arm, or life.
He blinked a few times before actually getting the ‘catastrophe’ which only made Completed pucker his lips trying not to laugh and making him small and stupid snorts, more sounding like he was choking on a hairball or a bug. He cleaned his throat before speaking again. “And I’m awake because I woke up. I tried to go back to sleep but it didn’t work. So I decided to get gears for more bugs.” Well, at least the whole thing wasn’t a lie, only the first part. The boy shrugged it away, not finding more to say about the cause. “And I think you should be more worried about Maya than me. If she finds out you’ve been working on the car all night she will give you the look.” Completed tried his best to imitate the look that Maya sometimes did when she got when she was just so done with them, not doing such a good look as he ended up looking more like his one eye were about to popp out.
Almost jumping again when he felt something touching his leg his head snapped down. An excited and huge grin lighting up his whole face as he sees Balto. Bending down to dog he’s careful to not squeeze or harm the squirrel in his pocket and he holds out a hand for the dog to scent. “Do Sven only care about his car and leaving you all aloneee?” He makes a rather childish and stupid voice while petting the dog’s head and scratching its neck gently. Completed tilts his head backwards to look up at the man, pouting a little and giving him puppy eye. Or… at least he’s trying.
Balto sniffed the boy’s hand and licked it gently. He barked happily as someone finally gave him the attention he deserved and tried to climb into Completed’s lap. Sven laughed at the two, and started to wipe his hands clean. He was pretty much finished with his work anyway (He had finished it hours ago but stayed up since sleep didn’t tempt him much these days).
"She’ll probobly give us both the look if she finds out, so let’s keep this to ourselves, eh?" Sven smiled and nudged Completed’s shoulder. He knew his friend was lying about why he was awake, he’d done the same so many times himself. He knew asking him about that would be wrong, as he did not like being asked about it either.
He shut the bonnet lid with a bang and shuffled over to the mini fridge he had installed in his workplace. He pulled out two beers and handed one to his fellow Walter. He opened his own and took a sip. “Did you step on a bug again?” he asked and snorted.
As happy as Completed was with Balto acknowledging him, when the dog jumped it was game over for Completed crouching and he fell down back on his butt to the floor. However, that allowed the little ball of fur to climb into his lap and the boy made a rather pleased sound and a not so pleased sound from Gideon due to the disturbance that woke him up. The little rodent poking his head up from Completeds pocket on his chest to see what was going on, only to go eye to eye with Balto. Completed even more pleased, seeing that he was always a fan of adorable animals, making both Balto and Gideon the best things in the world. At least in his opinion.
If he didn’t fell from Baltos push, he would definitely have falled back now when Sven nudged him slightly. Giving the guy his full attention he grinned a little. “Well, since I’m too young to die just yet, I’m going to keep it a secret for this time.” He said a little playfully, giving Sven an exaggerated wink with his eye for jokes.
Almost cringing a little as the bonnet was slammed shut, he only wrinkled his nose slightly before following the mechanic with his eye. When asked the question, he squinted his eye a little. “What? Phstt. No? What gave you such horrible idea?” he answered as if it was an insult while received the bottle, almost holding his breath after the lie and got the bottle open. “I crushed the little fella. He didn't have a chance.” He muttered under his breath before lifting the bottle to his lips and taking a mouthful of the alcohol. Still getting a little used to the taste and only a slightly wrinkle on his nose. On the bright side he didn’t spit it out or almost choke on the taste this time, so it's a progress.
