Brozone Brain Rot

How Brozone found out about Cecil

After the band got back together, John Dory was hanging around Pop Village more and more, always staying nearby in case his brothers needed him (more so the youngest two).

On one of his trips away, Hickory brought a bounty hunter friend to Pop Village, claiming they were looking for an old bounty but not giving much more information besides that.

Hickory introduced them as Cecil to Poppy, letting the queen know that they might pass through the village a couple times on their travels.

Hickory had helped catch Pop Village up on how bounties worked and who to be on the look out for since Pop Village had been out of the loop.

It had been an off handed comment to Branch but that was about as much as either of them thought of it.

Weeks passed before Cecil and JD had crossed paths, John seeing them walking in the distance and turned back around and walked the other way.

It became a more often occurrence that the brothers took notice of.

At one point Floyd caught Cecil talking to John Dory near Rhonda, the conversation seemed very personal.

Cecil started hanging around more and more, seeming to become closer and closer to JD.

John started hanging around his brothers less, not enough that they didn't spend time together but his presence was missed on occasion.

The brothers took note that the oldest seemed happier, more chipper, and annoyingly enough more cocky. The thing that they noticed even more was when John Dory started showing up with marks on his body and such.

The first occasion was when Floyd noticed what appeared to be a hickey on the teal haired troll's neck.

"Bruce, don't make it obvious but is that what I think it is on John's neck?" Floyd whispered to Bruce as they were hanging out in the living room.

Bruce looked across the room at the kitchen where JD and Branch were doing dishes.

John Dory had his leather vest off and was wearing a white tank top, the mark very visible on the side of his neck close to his ear.

Bruce was a bit taken back, he knew John could woo pretty much any girl he wanted but he didn't think that he would ever see proof of that.

"Ugh, yes it is. I never thought I'd have to see that." Bruce groans, rubbing his hand over his face.

"Who did you think did that?" Floyd murmured, crinkling his upper lip in slight disgust.

"Well he clearly didn't do it to himself but I don't know. I mean I can tell he's been getting some because he's been in such a good mood lately. But I don't think he's getting with anyone in Pop Village." Bruce answered.

Another occasion was at their weekly game nights.

Bruce was the one who noticed it, mainly because the light caught it.

Near the beginning of the game, JD stretched his arms above his head. As he did so his shirt raised up a little showing off his midriff. More particularly John Dory's happy trail.

The few moments that patch of hair was visible was enough for Bruce, he noticed there was glitter stuck in the hair and it was not in the same shade as Rhonda's so he knew it wasn't from her.

The next morning before he left to go home, Bruce relayed this new information to Floyd.

Next time was when they all decided to go swimming in a secluded spot that Branch knew of. John pulled off his shirt and dove into the water.
