1. Shell- If there were downsides to having a snail boyfriend it was that his shell could get so cumbersome when trying to cuddle with him.
2. Lessons- Whether Whiplash wanted to admit it or not he had learned so many things from Breakneck. Without meaning to he would observe others and was able to pick out their quirks. Or their weaknesses. He reminded himself often that he was different from Breakneck, and he would only use this ability for good.
Or for getting that last tomaco.
3. Crack - Ace Gecko knew Breakneck was going to do the thing seconds before he did it. Before Ace could say a thing Breakneck's neck contorted, getting rigid in areas and making a cracking noise. How the cracking noise came about Ace didn't know as snails did not possess bones.
"Don't do that thing with your neck! It's freaky." Ace said.
Breakneck smirked at Ace, his uneven grin making the newt shiver. Suddenly Breakneck's neck was loose and normal looking, the smile looking just a little more friendly. Though Ace knew better.
"Aww, does it bother you? " Breakneck asked before cracking his neck a bit.
"You are a scary, scary snail." Ace commented.
"And yet you never stay away for more than a month at a time." Breakneck said.
Ace sighed deeply.
"I know. Up until I met you I thought I was smart."
4. Kiss - Turbo and Hardcase had found that they had gotten into a slightly odd habit. It had stemmed from the days they were hiding their relationship where their meetings sometimes had to be quick.
Either Turbo or Hardcase would be standing there, minding their own business, when there was a woosh of air from a quick moving creature and then a quick little kiss before the kisser sped off.
Hardcase knew it was coming. So when Turbo came in for a quick smooch this time around this time he grabbed hold of Turbo's face and carefully (taking care not to hurt Turbo with his mandibles) kissed him passionately.
5. "Oh, here comes Tito. You're going to love him." Turbo said, spotting Tito heading in his and Hardcase's direction
Hardcase looked unsure. He had never stuck around when it came to humans before. Humans were in possession of large,crushing feet or rolled up magazines. But the fact Turbo trusted him kept him still.
"Hey little amigo!" Tito said, carrying a tiny tray of small items, some of which could be considered junk but the snails would use to add to their city. "Got some more of those toothpicks you guys seem to be using alot. I- oh, who's this?"
It took everything in Hardcase to not run off. Human attention never ended well for him before. But he relaxed when Tito smiled.
"This a new amigo of yours?" Tito asked.
"Can he understand us?" Hardcase asked Turbo.
"Not really in the sense of language, no. But he'll get the basic message if you give him enough to work with." Turbo said before leaning against Hardcase.
It took Turbo giving Hardcase a small kiss to realise what Turbo was saying.
"Ohhh, your girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend!?" Hardcase cried.
"I said the basic message. Not the exact message. Just roll with it" Turbo said.
Hardcase grumbled slightly to himself.
"Things didn't work out with your old girlfriend? Well, these things happen. In any case, as long you're happy I'm happy. Nice to meet you too." Tito said, looking down at Hardcase.
Hardcase could only wonder if this was Turbo's version of meeting the parents.
