Eyes shot open, Mugman sat up suddenly. A notebook fell onto the floor, and he grazed his fingers along a blanket on his body
Mugman: What the..?
Gabriel: Oh, you're awake!
He stood at one end of the couch, holding a mug in his hands, drinking something. Presumably coffee
Mugman: Did I fall asleep?! Oh my god, I'm really sorry!
Gabriel: It's fine! I didn't mind!
Mugman: No, no, this is not appropriate! We hardly know each other! I-I need to get back home!
He got off the couch and started collecting his things frantically. Gabriel set down his mug and helped Mugman get his stuff together
Gabriel: Are you sure? In case you haven't realized, it's raining..
His finger pointed to the window viewing outside. There was rain pouring down in the streets. Mugs frowned and stared outside for a moment
Mugman: My brother's going to freak out if I'm not home soon. He doesn't exactly trust you or like you
Gabriel: Really? Well, do you?
The question grabbed Mugman's attention. He turned to Gabriel's curious face, and after a moment of silence, he smiled while answering
Mugman: Of course
His face flushed momentarily, complimenting his kind smile. Gabriel returned a similar smile
Mugman: But still, I don't want to worry my brother..
Gabriel: I understand!
He reassured Mugman with a suddenly nervous smile, a change from his sweet smile just a second ago
Mugman: I'll see you next week on Tuesday, okay?
Gabriel: Okay!
The angel gave him a thumbs up, and Mugs chuckled slightly at the obvious awkward demeanor
Mugman: Um, anyway, bye!
Gabriel: Bye!
He blushed even more as he watched his friend slip his bag over his shoulder. He headed to the door, but before he could open it, Gabriel panicked
Gabriel: Wait, wait!
Mugman: What?
Gabriel: Remember we suggested it was best I walk you home?
Mugman: Oh, right..
Gabriel: Let me grab this umbrella!
He grabbed one from next to the door, and Mugman was finally able to open the door. As they stepped out, Gabriel opened up the umbrella to shield them from the rain
Gabriel: Do you enjoy the rain, my friend?
Mugman: I guess so. It can be neat sometimes..
Gabriel: Personally, I like it a lot! How it occurs is very fascinating, and so are the effects!
The angel proceeded to explain the science behind rain. And even if Mugman already knew it all, he still listened with a smile
Gabriel: Moving on, how does Cuphead feel about rain?
Mugman: Hm? Why the sudden interest in him?
Gabriel: He seems like an interesting person! I'd like to get to know him more!
Mugman: Yeah? Well, I doubt he feels the same..
Gabriel: I know
He nodded slightly, and Mugman smiled a little, laughing to himself silently
Mugman: Well, he-
He suddenly stopped, and Gabriel did too to avoid rain getting onto Mugs
Gabriel: What's wrong?
Mugman: Holy shit! Oh my god, we need to get back! Right now!
With no questions asked, Gabriel easily followed Mugman's pace in order to run at his side. They raced through the rain and sounds of thunder. They made it back into the apartment complex, and Mugman ignored the elevator, rushing up the stairs
Mugman: Cup! Cuphead!
He called out as he managed to unlock the apartment. He went to his brother's room, knocking on the door
Mugman: Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to leave you in a storm like this! I-I accidentally fell asleep at Gabe's place!
The mentioned just arrived into the apartment. He set down the umbrella and shut the door
Gabriel: *He only panicked when he was about to answer my question.. Is.. Cuphead afraid of storms?*
He asked himself, stepping closer to the frantic mug. Then, they both heard the toilet flush in the bathroom. Cuphead calmly walked out moments later
Cuphead: For God's sake, calm down! I figured you were off getting railed by lampchop..
Mugman: I said I fell asleep!
He spat out at Cups, blushing a little as his eyes darted to Gabriel very quickly, worried if he had heard that
Cuphead: Close enough, whore
He flipped off Mugman as he headed back into his room, flinching at the sound of thunder. Mugman became worried again and approached his brother
Mugman: I'm here now.. Do you want to watch a movie or bake something?
Cuphead: If that bastard can go fuck himself for once instead of you, then sure!
He said with a mocking smile, obviously very pissed off that Gabriel was present. Mugs sighed and stepped out of Cup's room, speaking to Gabriel
Mugman: Sorry Gabe, I told you he doesn't like you..
The mug smiled nervously as he pointed to the door. The angel gave a quick smile before waving as he approached the door to leave
Mugman: Thanks for walking me home and the uh, umbrella..
Gabriel: Of course! No problem, Mugs!
The unexpected sound of his nickname surprised Mugman as the door was shut
Mugman: He's.. He's really sweet, isn't he?
Cuphead: Like a pile of shit!
Mugman: Leave him alone!
Cuphead: If he leaves you alone, sure!
He pointed to Mugs as he left his room, closing the door with a blanket wrapped around his body. Mugman rolled his eyes before heading into the kitchen
End.
