Shut In

Sketchily

Author's Point of View

Dameon looks up at Joshua, "Joshua... wanna go shopping before I panic?"

Lighting up at Dameon's proposal, "Yeah! Did you wanna check out Best Buy first?"

"Yes!" Dameon nods, "I read about a recent stable realm door for a farm that is portable that's only in stores!"

"Really?" Joshua was shocked.

"Yeah, it has weather and everything. And you're on an island! It can connect to other boxe3s too, there's also a server for trading and shit." Dameon was bubbly in his excitement, "The server is a realm too, and it's all safe."

"Who will take care of stuff when you can't?" Joshua smiles, "Robotic people?"

"Oh my God! I can?" Dameon was practically jumping, "This kind of stuff only happens in yaoi!!! I actually can?!" Sometimes it's easy to forget that Dameon is addicted to Yaoi since he's been too busy for the past week to read any... but he has a huge collection of Yaoi that takes up a good portion of a library realm he constructed for himself.

"I don't see why not, bro!" Joshua laughs at how giggly Dameon was.

"Sweet! I'mma make a town in there! My basement has too many plants already! A lot are multiplying was too quick!"

"Really? They all look good," Joshua blinks, "You keep them very well kept."

"Thank you, but I do need to thin all the garden-parks and my basement," Dameon sighs, "But thank you nonetheless."

"No issues, love," Joshua pecks Dameon on the lips with a smile. "Let's go, ne? Leave your jacket, too, we'll come back for it all. Okay?"

"Okay," dameon was easily enchanted by the marvel of how Joshua' mouth's lips moved so flawlessly... and how soft yet firm they could be...

"Follow me or would you rather just travel around?" Joshua takes Dameon's hand tenderly, "Hmm?"

"Mind if we both wander?" Dameon squeezes his hand and walks first through the door, "I want one of those realm things and enough robotic people to make a village."

"Seriously?" Joshua grins, "That's all?"

Dameon was grinning like a little kid back at him, "No, of course not! I want to take pictures with my phone... we have some... uh... lost time... to make up for... y'know..." Dameon looks away blushing, his feet suddenly becoming way more interesting.

"We do," Joshua nods.

Suddenly, Dameon is half dragging a surprised Joshua to the music section. "Dude!" Dameon was excited as he stared at microchips on display for purchase. "They actually do have these on display still! Holy shit!"

"Clearing them out since hardly anyone ever uses such old technology anymore," Joshua laughs.

"Yeah, I use a microfiver tablet now," Dameon laughs, "Way easier and it folds up to fit in my pocket.

Joshua nods, "And billionaires get beta technology." He rolls his eyes and Dameon laughs.

"But it's nice," Dameon smirks deviously, "And it's trillionaire."

"You live in a futuristic life," Joshua laughs, rolling his eyes. "And you make your parks high tech by giving them the best technology. Did you know you've made this city the most technologically advanced city in the country?"

"I did?" Dameon laughs a bit and it sounds weird, "No kidding..."

"Yeah, by putting technolofy usually reserved for rich people in commoners' housing, ou've made the bar rather high for everyone in the city," Joshua informs Dameon with a laugh, "And with how much property you own and how all the parks have robots caring for them... you've made them very advanced."

"I'm glad," Dameon laughs, "I hope everyone gets good."

"Well, at first there was a loss of jobs," Joshua shrugs, "But then they bought up jobs and everything..."

Dameon was almost in tears, panick catching up with him, "But they are happy again? I never thought of them while I was building my utopia."

Joshua is confused by the sudden switch, but figures it's probably due to Dameon beginning to panic, "They are," he nods at Dameon.

"Good," Dameon was trembling and fighting off a horrible stutter. Joshua realizes his drinks wore off, and now he was on his own. 

"Come on," Joshua smiles callmly, "Let's go to Jenk's Eats. They have a bar there."

Dameon nods and Joshua pulls a tiny bottle of tequila from his own pocket. Carefully, Joshua gets Dameon to drink it and he totally calms down... well not totally, kind of sketchily gets himself to quit openly panicking... very sketchily...
