CHAPTER 2
UNDERWORLD

Gojo woke up earlier than usual, still feeling uneasy about yesterday. He decided to use his spare time to clear his mind by taking a cold shower. He picked up a few clothes then walked to the bathroom. He took off his shirt, the scar was still there. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, looking at the mark and feeling more and more frustrated with each passing second.
Eventually he snapped out of it. Washing his face with cold water. He quickly undressed himself and took a cold shower as a way to calm down his racing mind. Soon enough he got out, dried and dressed up. He walked out of the bathroom and went into the living room. Snake was still sleeping, unhinged from how he fell asleep. Gojo sighed and picked up the empty bottles of beer, quietly moving around the living room. He returned to the kitchen and threw the bottles away, he then started his usual routine by making breakfast.
After some time Snake woke up, stretching and yawning. He got up from the sofa and walked in the kitchen where he found Gojo, listening to music while preparing breakfast. Gojo noticed him and took off his headphones.
-"Took you long enough, sleeping beauty!" said Gojo mockingly, Snake looked at him already irritated.
-"Kept you waiting... huh?" replied Snake with a grumpy voice before walking past Gojo and picking up one of the two coffee cups, Gojo noticed and grinned.
-"Yeah... You know.. You are getting too comfortable around here. Who said you could drink from those cups?" said Gojo, looking at Snake with a raised eyebrow. Snake looked at him then at the cup.
-"And since when are YOU drinking two cups of coffee? I'm pretty sure you have enough energy to function without coffee.. Maybe you'd have more energy by eating a tablespoon of sugar." replied Snake before taking a sip, it was strong, exactly what he needed to wake up, Gojo looked at him disappointed then rolled his eyes and returned to cooking breakfast.
-"Very funny..." replied Gojo before finishing cooking. He placed the breakfast on two plates then put them on the table, he took a seat then signatured Snake to take a seat and eat before eating from his own plate. Snake took a seat and began eating. The morning was quiet, neither of them seemed to have anything to talk about despite all that's happened. After a bit Gojo got a message from Mizuki, he read it and looked surprised.
-"Hmm.. Mizuki said that Hope wants to see us..." said Gojo, Snake looked at him.
-"For what purpose?" asked Snake.
-"I don't know, she didn't mention why..." replied Gojo before taking a sip from his cup.
-"Hm, if Hope wants something with us she would've texted us herself-" before Snake could finish his sentence, both of them got a message from Hope. Snake looked at Gojo then away. Gojo chuckled and checked the message.
-"Meet with me at the gas station near Lavish Lair, I got an idea." read Gojo.
-"What do you think she wants us to do?" continued Gojo, his blue eyes shining into Snake's weak vision. Snake blinked a few times to adjust to the bright colours, the light reflecting onto Gojo and towards him didn't do him any justice.
-"Why are you asking me? Do I look like an all-knower to you?" replied Snake, annoyed. Gojo grinned and chuckled.
-"Aren't you tho? I mean you always order me around and tell me what to do, so why not do it now too. Tell me what do you think she wants?" asked Gojo, flickering his eyelids while looking at Snake. Snake grunted and took out a cigarette, lighting it up.
-"She wants us to [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]] her, right there, in front of everyone." replied Snake, annoyed as he smoked and occasionally drank coffee.
-"Awh, but I don't think Mizuki would agree to that." said Gojo with his annoying sad voice before chuckling. Snake sighed and ignored him, Gojo looked at him annoyed and rolled his eyes, quickly finishing his breakfast.
-"Wasn't she one of 'em.. what do you call them, bicycle people? binoculars?" asked Snake, Gojo looked at him confused.
-"Grandpa, did you forget to take your pills or something?" asked Gojo, Snake looking at him quite ticked off. Gojo chuckled and took a sip from his coffee.
-"You make me consider building a home for myself." replied Snake, finishing his cigarette and coffee and resuming to whatever was left of his breakfast.
-"Nooo grandpa, I love you, don't leave me!" replied Gojo, Snake looked at him then finished his breakfast. He stood up and picked the dirty dishes, washing them. Gojo looked at him and then away, looking out the window at the light rain. The droplets against the window made a great ambient for the morning.
Soon enough Snake sat back down in front of him, lighting up another cigarette.
-"Why do you smoke so much?" asked Gojo before taking another sip, looking at Snake curiously.
-"Helps me calm down." replied Snake.
-"Calm down? What are you even stressed over?" asked Gojo.
-"A lot. One of the things being your never ending questions." replied Snake, Gojo looked at him annoyed.
-"[[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]." said Gojo to which Snake grinned slightly.
-"That's my boy, keep going that way." said Snake to which Gojo chuckled and grinned.
-"Geez I never knew you were into that kind of stuff!" replied Gojo before laughing, Snake looked at him a bit surprised then annoyed.
-"I can't go a day without saying either a swear or a slur, you [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]." replied Snake, Gojo laughed harder realising Snake didn't get it.
-"Oh grandpa, you really didn't get it huh?" said Gojo with a grin and Snake looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "I won't elaborate tho."
-"Good. I don't think I can handle hearing your voice anymore." replied Snake, Gojo looked at him and rolled his eyes, he sighed then put his head on the table, looking away.
-"You should probably get ready. The more we stay here the sooner I will finish my cigarette pack and I don't want that to happen." said Snake, Gojo stood up, took the final sip of his cup before setting it in the sink and going into his room to change.
Soon he returned all ready, Snake finished his cigarette then teleported in the same lobby as Gojo. Gojo sent Hope an invite and soon enough she joined.
-"Should we invite Mizuki as well?" whispered Gojo to Snake, to which Snake just nodded, and so they invited Mizuki who joined as well.
-"Hey fellers, it seems like we got someone new today." said Mizuki, looking quite seductively at Hope, to which Hope just looked away a bit embarrassed.
-"Anyways, you guys know where to go, right? Besides Mizuki, you can just follow them." said Hope, looking at the three. All of them nodded at Hope's command. Gojo looked at Snake.
-"Where were we supposed to go again?" whispered Gojo to Snake, Hope heard and before Snake could respond Hope responded.
-"The Underworld. That's where we located Hades." explained Hope.
-"Uh huh. And then what?" asked Gojo, Hope looked at him disappointed.
-"Obviously we are going to defeat him! We need to send the spirits back away in the Pandora Box! Geez, are all men like this?" said Hope irritated.
-"Don't worry sweetie, I'll handle them." replied Mizuki with a sly tone before looking at Gojo and Snake mad, Gojo raised his hands defensively.
-"Thank you, Mizuki." replied Hope.
-"Of course!" said Mizuki, smiling warmly.
-"Also I will be joining you but I will be busy with other stuff so please try not to get in my way or in any trouble!" said Hope as she readied up, Gojo and Snake nodded and readied up, as well as Mizuki.
They soon joined in a match. Snake and Gojo looked at what changed on the map whilst Mizuki was looking around for Hope, she walked up to her.
-"So, what kind of 'stuff' are you busy with?" asked Mizuki, scaring Hope off.
-"Ah! Mizuki! I was just looking at what I had to do... Well... I have to go to my base and retrieve an item that would scan the new spots as well as the new items that came along so I can properly implement them in the game." explained Hope, Mizuki nodded.
-"Hmm.. But if you don't want them here, why are you scanning them? Wouldn't that make more sense, and let the game remove them itself?" said Mizuki, looking curiously at Hope.
-"That's a possibility, but they could also corrupt the files, bringing in errors and anomalies, which would just make things worse!" explained Hope.
-"Ah. That's a shame.. Well if you want I can help you out..." said Mizuki.
-"Honestly I think you would come in handy... Looking at the other two... I regret bringing them.." said Hope, looking at Snake, who just pushed Gojo off a building. Mizuki noticed and couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
-"Well, you can ignore them, I'm sure they can stay alive for how long it takes to scan the spots and items..." said Mizuki.
-"I 'hope'" said Hope before chuckling a bit to which Mizuki also chuckled.
The bus came and they all hopped it, Hope told Snake and Gojo to go to The Underworld, they both nodded and jumped as soon as they were close.
Hope and Mizuki landed near Hazy Hillside, just to find that Hope's place was demolished by Mount Olympus.
-"Oh, come on! [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]] you, Zeus!" said Hope, with hatred. "Ugh. I think Jones has another one of those devices I told you about, near.. Ruined Reels." she sighed, Mizuki looked at her sorrowfully.
-"I'm sorry about your house and device, Hope." said Mizuki, Hope changed where she was gliding towards and Mizuki followed her.
-"It's fine, let's be quick!" replied Hope and Mizuki nodded.
Meanwhile on the other side of the map.
-"Hey Snaky, what do you think came first? The egg or the chicken?" asked Gojo and Snake ignored him, focusing on finding a way inside the castle."Snake! Stop ignoring me!" Snake stopped and turned around, looking at Gojo annoyed.
-"You are so lucky friendly fire isn't a thing in this game otherwise I would've knocked you down and left you to die." said Snake annoyed, Gojo chuckled and grinned.
-"Why not knock me up instead?" said Gojo, giggling, Snake looked at him and immediately broke the platform under them, landing exactly near Hades and a few other surviving Gods.
-"Don't. say. a. word." whispered Snake to Gojo, hiding behind a wall, Gojo cleared his throat.
-"COCK AND BALLS!" yelled Gojo, looking at Snake with a smile which was immediately covered by Snake's hand.
-"Remind me to put tape over your mouth next time we go into a sneaky mission. Thank god they didn't hear you." said Snake, really mad, before looking to see if anyone suspects anything.
-"Deorum animas mihi adduxitis?" said a voice with an extremely low tone, but also loud enough. "Oh, habe me excusatum." said again, as he rotated a button on his mask. "No, esto no." "Auch das nicht." "There we go, English."
Snake and Gojo looked at the person with a very confused look, Gojo then looked at Snake's hand annoyed and started licking it. Snake felt it and yelped quietly before letting go of his mouth, gesturing to him to actually be quiet this time, Gojo nodded and looked back at the guy who was talking.
-"As I was saying, have you brought me the souls of the Gods? I'd like to do this as quick as possible, ma'am." said the person, who later revealed themselves to be none other than Hades, the other person hiding their identity under a robe.
-"Yes, Hades. Here they are." said the other person, which both recognised to be Aphrodite, as she opened a straw bag and souls flew away.
-"Good. Now get back, as I will say the spell." responded Hades, as he switched the button again. "O, domine inferne, animas istas ad statum vivum redu-" said Hades, before he got interrupted.
Snake didn't notice Gojo sneaking away from him.
-"I GOT A BETTER ONE FOR YOU, [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]!" yelled Gojo from one side before shooting at Hades. Both Hades and Aphrodite ran away taking cover. Unfortunately Hades hid next to Snake. Snake looked at him and Hades got scared, screaming and using his powers to throw Snake away, breaking the platform under him and causing Snake to fall. Snake screamed as he fell in Hades' basement. Hades then changed his attention to Gojo.
-"Oh uh. Hey guuuys!" said Gojo with his silly voice, as he messed around with Hades' translator button by shooting at him.
-"Ná praiseach z mojim prevajalcem, baka!"
While Gojo was messing around Snake was looking for a way out, he looked up at the hole he fell from then around for stairs. As he was looking around, he noticed a prison cell, and someone banging against the door.
-"A visitor! Hm.. indeed, I have stayed here long enough." said the voice from behind the door, Snake walked to the door to see a man whose hands were made of gold. The man looked at him almost as if expecting him.
-"Took you long enough, Solid Snake. After all, you do love to keep people waiting, just like the legend." said the man.
-"Who are you? How do you know my name?" asked Snake, immediately pulling out his gun.
-"Shooting me is pointless, Solid. My name is Midas, quite a pleasure to meet you!" replied Midas, Snake looked at him skeptical.
-"How did you end up here?" asked Snake.
-"You don't usually question people, I'm surprised you do it now! Well, I was looking for a way to get my hands back on what's mine, that being this whole island. But as I was walking around Hades caught me and trapped me here." explained Midas, Snake put his gun away. "Nothing to say? Alright. Let's get to some more serious business then. I got a favour to ask you. I want you to join my team and do some work for me. In return, I will give you freedom, helping you return to your universe just like you want."
-"How do you know I want that?" asked Snake skeptical.
-"Let's just say.. I know a lot of stuff about Fortnite, about the rights and wrongs. As well as the fact that nobody wants to stay here!" explained Midas, Snake sighed and before he could say what he wanted to say Gojo's screams interrupted them.
-"SNAKEEEEEEEE!!! THEY ARE [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]] ME IN THE [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]] AND I DON'T LIKE IT! AYYYY!!!!" screamed Gojo, Snake looked away embarrassed as he sighed.
-"I will consider it, contact me when you get out. I don't think I need to give you any informations since you said you know a lot of stuff." said Snake before looking around the place and noticing a way out, he jumped around and got out, he spotted Gojo who was running for his life then spotted some chains laying around. He picked up the chains and ran up to Gojo who was being chased by Aphrodite and Hades. He caught Aphrodite, causing her to fall, Snake quickly tied the chains around her then threw her away, leaving only Hades to deal with.
-"O, domine Inferne, animas istas ad statum vivum redu hic et nunc! Osculum." said Hades quickly, as the souls burst into a ray of light.
-"Ah, I'm back? Oh, very nice." said Zeus, after being revived, along with Poseidon and Ares.
-"Oh, you've [[TELEVISION BEEP]]ed up now." said Hades, pointing over to both Snake and Gojo. "Kill them."
Snake grabbed Gojo's forearm as they ran away from the Underworld. They hid behind a steep hill as the gods passed them.
-"Oh, we have really messed up now." said Gojo, feeling a bit anxious
-"No absolute [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]]." replied Snake stressed, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up. Gojo looked down anxious as he began breathing heavily, he hugged his stomach where his scar was.
-"...They are so going to kill me..." said Gojo with a shaky voice, Snake noticed and sighed.
-"Calm down, I'm sure Kratos will come soon enough to take them down..." replied Snake, trying to give Gojo a reason to calm down but it seemed like nothing changed so he decided to call Hope.
-"Hope! We've got a problem. The Gods are back." said Snake.
-"WHAT!?" replied Hope, shocked. "YOU HAD ONE JOB, STOP HADES NOT HELP HIM!" screamed Hope frustrated, Gojo could hear it as well and started shaking out of fear, Snake noticed and grunted.
-"WE TRIED BUT BY THE TIME WE CAME IT WAS ALREADY TOO LATE! STOP YELLING AND FOR GOD'S SAKE LET'S FIND A WAY TO FIX THIS MESS!" replied Snake, Hope sighed.
-"Sorry. I got angry. I will finish scanning and then I will do my best to forcefully get them stuck in their respective areas, turning them into NPCs." explained Hope.
-"Fine. Me and Gojo would look around and see what they are up to." replied Snake, gesturing Gojo to get going, he nodded and tried calming down.
-"Ok. Good luck you too." said Hope before closing the call.
-"Geez, I thought they could handle things on their own... Guess I was wrong.." said Mizuki as she finished scanning the last item, Hope sighed and sat down on the floor.
-"I never wanted this to happen. It's just. I have had a nightmare since the last time and I can't get over it. Turns out I'm part of some prophecy that's linked with the box. I never asked for this! I never asked for my sister to go missing! I could've used her help right now but no! She had to take the matter in her own hands and just disappear!" explained Hope, hugging her legs and trying not to cry.
-"It's alright, Hope. Everything will be alright. I'm sure we'll do just fine." said Mizuki, trying to comfort Hope. "Let's go save those two [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]], shall we?"
Hope chuckled a bit then nodded, got in a car and went to Snake and Gojo's direction. Hope shifts around, busting herself and using the car like no one before, Mizuki held onto the seat like on her life.
-"Wow, you are... really good!" said Mizuki trying not to get sick, Hope noticed and chuckled, slowing down a bit.
-"Thanks! I always loved doing this!" explained Hope looking at Mizuki with a warm smile, Mizuki couldn't help but smile back at her.
They eventually get to Snake and Gojo's location, they were both fighting Aphrodite. Hope stopped the car, got out and immediately started shooting Aphrodite, Mizuki doing the exact same as Hope.
-"Ah! Seems like both couples are finally here!" said Aphrodite, both Snake and Gojo looked at each other confused and somewhat disgusted while Mizuki and Hope looked embarrassed. Both Snake and Gojo looked at them somewhat disgusted and rather shocked. Mizuki noticed and looked at them mad.
-"OH WHAT! DON'T ACT LIKE YOU TWO DON'T HAVE SOMETHING GOING ON!" said Mizuki.
-"WE DON'T!" both Snake and Gojo said in unison. Aphrodite rolled her eyes annoyed and flew down, picking Gojo up. Gojo got scared and started screaming so Aphrodite threw him up and left him to fall.
-"Geez why do you scream so loud!" said Aphrodite, as Gojo kept screaming and falling to his death, Snake watched him fall then immediately rushed to where he fell in order to heal him. Aphrodite noticed and wanted to rush to them but she got stopped by Hope who shot her wing, causing her to lose balance and fall. Mizuki rushed to where Aphrodite fell and started shooting her. She tried to make a run for it but failed as Hope shot her other wing as well, disabling them completely. They quickly surrounded Aphrodite.
-"You can't win. Especially against Zeus! He knows everyone's weaknesses!" said Aphrodite, everyone looked away thoughtful then Snake looked back at Aphrodite.
-"You talk a lot of [[HYPERLINK BLOCKED]] for someone who doesn't own a pickaxe." said Snake before shooting Aphrodite in her forehead, eliminating her.
-"Now what?" asked Gojo.
-"Now we scan all the Gods." said Hope, opening her inventory and pulling out a device for everyone so they can all scan the Gods.
They each picked one and started walking around the map, challenging them to a fight, scanning them, then leaving their area.
Eventually they return to Mount Olympus where they found Zeus, who was being fed grapes by a robed figure.
-"ZEUS! WE'VE RETURNED!" screamed Snake, walking inside the temple, Zeus sat upright and looked down at them. He laughed.
-"You!? You've returned? And what for? To get killed?" said Zeus between laughs.
-"We've got your daughter's soul." said Gojo coldly, showing Zeus the soul which was kept in a crystal jar. Zeus looked at the jar amazed then switched to a serious expression. A heavy thunder started as Zeus walked down from his throne. He snapped his fingers, making a thunderbolt show up in his hand. Snake looked at Gojo and sighed.
-"Don't think about it. Just do what you can do." whispered Snake to Gojo, he nodded then they all took cover and began shooting Zeus. He threw thunderbolts at everyone but they were moving too quickly, causing him to miss a few shots. Zeus was in distress as he was losing health a lot quicker than when they first encountered him.
-"IMPOSSIBLE! HOW ARE YOU SO STRONG!" said Zeus, but none replied as they were all too focused on lowering Zeus' health.
Zeus had enough and he jumped back to his throne where the robe figure was still there. Zeus looked at her and snapped his fingers.
-"Go. Do what you must." said Zeus to the robe figure.
-"Yes sir." said the figure, Hope heard the voice which seemed familiar. The figure takes off her robe, revealing it to be Valeria, Hope's sister.
-"Hello, sister." said Valeria, looking at Hope with a cold look.
-"Valeria..?" said Hope with a shaky voice. Valeria grinned and took on the wings, using them to fly towards Hope, picking her up and flying away with her in the storm.
-"HOPE!" screamed Mizuki worried as she immediately rushed after them. Leaving only Snake and Gojo to fight Zeus. Snake sighed disappointed and before he knew Zeus threw a thunderbolt at him, lowering his health. Snake immediately rushed away to hide, Gojo following after him.
-"Snake! Are you alright?" asked Gojo as he started checking around to see where Zeus could come from. Snake grunted and nodded.
-"Yes, I'm fine... I just need heals..." replied Snake as he started healing himself. Gojo kept checking around and before he knew Zeus came through one wall, grabbing onto Gojo and flying up above the tower using a thunderbolt.
-"Gojo!" screamed Snake, looking up at them as he started shooting at Zeus hoping to lower his health enough so Gojo can scan him. Zeus noticed and threw a thunderbolt against the pillar behind Snake, causing it to fall over Snake. Gojo was fighting against Zeus' hold, dealing slight damage.
-"You should've never come back." whispered Zeus in Gojo's ear, causing a shiver to run down his spine. Gojo knew he couldn't do a whole lot so he decided to do the only thing he is able to do, scan Zeus. He slowly pulled his scanner out and began scanning him, Zeus didn't notice it.
-"You are weak, and pathetic, and if anything you are a mistake. You dragged your team down." said Zeus as the thunderstorm started getting more intense.
-"Look at them. All struggling to survive. Just like the last time, you will watch them all die again. All because you are weak and couldn't do more than you already do." said Zeus, strangling Gojo harder. Gojo grunted but kept scanning Zeus.
-"Your life is worth nothing, you serve zero purpose, you should end yourself. NOW!" screamed Zeus as thunderstruck once more. Zeus threw Gojo hard enough to turn him into a thunderbolt, but by the time he did that Zeus' code was already scanned.
Mizuki came back, carrying both Hope and Valeria. She left them near Snake who was still healing, she grabbed a sniper.
-"I'll be back, Hope." said Mizuki, as she looked through the scope, to see Zeus holding Gojo before throwing him away.
-"Just as you learnt. Hold your breath, and fire." thought Mizuki to herself, and so she did. She held her breath, to stop the sniper from shaking, and shot Zeus directly in the head, causing him to lose half the health he previously had. Snake finally finished packing himself up and noticed Mizuki.
-"It's show time!" said Snake to Mizuki before pulling out his sniper as well hitting the second time Zeus in his head, causing him to fall down. Mizuki and Snake walked up to Zeus, picking up his soul. Mizuki then walked over to Hope.
-"It's over, we can go home now." said Mizuki, picking Hope up.
-"Mizuki, thank you..." whispered Hope before pulling Mizuki close to her and kissing her tenderly. Mizuki wasn't taken aback but didn't pull back, instead she leaned in, joining her. Snake looked at them unsure of what to do so he looked back where Valeria was, noticing she ran away, he looked back at Hope and Mizuki unsure of what to do then remembered that Gojo was still somewhere out there so he jumped off and went towards where Gojo was.
He walked for a while before finding Gojo under rocks, downed. He took the rocks off and started reviving Gojo.
-"...Snake, I didn't run away this time... I didn't do anything stupid this time.." said Gojo with a shaky voice, Snake sighed.
-"No.. No you didn't... now stop wasting your breath and let me revive you." said Snake to which Gojo nodded.
Soon enough Gojo was back up, Snake looked at him then away.
-"Our job here is over, Gojo. I think it's about time we go home..." said Snake.
-"We can't, there's only one player left alive..." said Gojo as he checked the game informations.
-"WHAT!?" said Snake, shocked, checking as well and noticing that in fact there's one more person alive. Before they could leave the place they notice in the chat that both Mizuki and Hope left the game, leaving only Snake, Gojo and the last player alive.
-"What happened to them, why did they leave so early!?" asked Gojo confused, Snake looked away remembering how he last left them off.
-"Let's not talk about it and instead focus on the last player." said Snake before leaving and looking around for the last player, Gojo shrugged and followed him.
After a short while, they find the last player hiding scared in a bush, Snake quickly killed him and returned to lobby together with Gojo. They then teleport at home and sigh with release. Snake walked in the kitchen and grabbed two beers.
-"Grab one for me too." said Gojo before walking in the bedroom, Snake nodded and grabbed on for him, going in the living room. After a bit Gojo came in the living room and sat down beside Snake.
-"This was... quite a day." said Gojo before taking a sip from his beer.
-"You could say that again.." said Snake, smoking then drinking.
-"This was... quite a day." repeated Gojo, with a lazy smile on his face. Snake looked at him and chuckled a bit.
-"You are so silly sometimes.." said Snake, leaning against the sofa and relaxing.
-"You know, we should probably make you a room too since you don't seem to want to make your own house any time soon.." said Gojo before taking another sip.
-"What for? The couch is enough for me." said Snake, finishing his first beer and opening the second one.
-"Don't you get uncomfortable wearing those clothes.. Plus you kinda smell.." replied Gojo, Snake looked at him.
-"I wore these clothes all my life, I don't plan on changing them any time soon. As for the smell, you'll get used to it." said Snake, taking a sip from his beer, Gojo looked at him annoyed.
-"You are worse than those condom skins, heck! You are like a dirty wet dog that just came back from playing in the mud." said Gojo, annoyed before taking another sip.
-"The life of a soldier lacks proper hygiene. Plus I'm sure you'll get used to it!" said Snake, finishing his cigarette.
-"...You live under my roof, you follow my rules. I'll make you a room tomorrow and will give you some of my oversized clothes. You are NOT staying stinky like this." said Gojo in a commanding tone, Snake looked at him lazily before finishing his beer as well.
-"I'll spray myself with some water and soap. Will it fix your nasal cavities?" said Snake, mockingly with a grin, Gojo looked at him annoyed and rolled his eyes.
-"No it won't Mr. Stinky Suicidal Serious Secret Solid Snake!" said Gojo before pulling out a notepad, writing something down before making it disappear again, Snake grunted and rolled his eyes annoyed.
-"Ok, Mr. ...ching chong?" said Snake annoyed looking away, Gojo chuckled a bit.
-"You are so bad at these!" said Gojo between chuckles before finishing his beer as well, and setting it aside on the coffee table.
-"Yeah, thanks. I'm going to sleep. I'm tired after all the fights I had today. Four Gods? Oh hell no!" said Snake looking away frustrated.
-"Six, actually. But yeah. Also, before you go to sleep, what were Hope and Mizuki doing?" asked Gojo curious, Snake looked back at him and thought for a bit.
-"Sebanese lex." said Snake with a straight face, Gojo looked at him confused him so Snake gestured with his hands kissing. Gojo gasped and opened his mouth from shock, Snake nodded in an understanding manner.
-"No they did not..." said Gojo, still shocked.
-"Yeah. They did." replied Snake still with a serious tone.
-"Oh... my God." said Gojo, he looked down, processing what Snake just said.
-"Hope is screwed." said Gojo, looking at Snake.
-"And I'm sleepy. Good night." said Snake, as he got into his box, Gojo looked at him annoyed.
-"Will you stop with the box, I'm not going to bite you!" said Gojo, pulling the box away, Snake looked at him frustrated.
-"It's for safety and lookout." replied Snake irritated.
-"What safety? Nobody can come inside my Island!" explained Gojo, Snake sighed.
-"Come on, you have the blanket from last night. Stop using the box.." replied Gojo, Snake rolled his eyes and laid flat on the couch, covering himself with the blanket and pretending to fall asleep. Gojo looked at him for a bit before he got up and went in his bedroom. As soon as Gojo left, Snake got the box out again, placed it on the ground and put the blanket inside of it, snuggling against it and falling asleep.
