Track 77: Midnight City – M83
"Well, well, well. What do we have here? This is waaay past curfew for you, isn't it Puff? Thought you would be in bed by now."
Buttercup bit back a started hiss and spun around so that she was facing the person who had spoken. "Butch what the hell do you think you're doing dumbass? I was about half a second away from backhanding you to Cabo!"
Said Rowdyruff laughed and stuffed his hands in his hoodie's pockets. "You didn't answer my question. Seriously Butts, the hell are you doing out at three in the morning? I don't think daddy would like that too much."
"He doesn't know." Lime green eyes were suddenly unable to hold questioning forest ones and settled for looking down at the pavement beneath her shoes. "I figured as much. Old man would probably have a heart attack if he knew one of his precious little girls was out wandering the streets on this side of town this late at night." The larger teen snorted and ran a hand through jet black spikes nonchalantly.
"If you came here just to be snide, can I leave?" the raven-haired girl groaned impatiently. "I could ask you the same thing: why are you out this late?" Her bright eyes narrowed. "Also, how the hell did you even know it was me anyways?"
"Couldn't sleep. My bro's and I live around here, and I was out for a run. Thought I recognized your silhouette." He nodded at her. "Your turn. You really shouldn't be walking through these parts this late you know. There are a lot of people here who aren't fans of yours."
"I can take care of myself, you know that better then anyone." The slighter girl snapped before crossing her arms. "I just… I don't know. I was restless, and I just needed out for a bit. Figured I would patrol this sector of the city, then go back home."
"Then why are you still here?"
"… I don't know. Not tired yet I guess."
A snort. "You're an interesting girl Buttercup, I'll give you that much."
A slight grin. "I'm surprised you didn't attack me when you saw me honestly. What's up with that?"
"Meh, didn't feel like starting anything tonight. Don't have the energy for that."
A soft hum of conformation, and both raven haired teens fell silent as a look of silent understanding was shared between them. For a while, the only sound they could hear was the sound of buzzing streetlights and the distant barking of dogs. Finally, the lanky boy known as the Baron of Berserk, broke the silence.
"Well, as fun as this was, I'm going to go home, grab the Escalade, and go into the city for something to eat. If you're not tired and want something to do, you can come."
The self-proclaimed Toughest Fighter rolled her eyes and allowed a small grin to roll up her red lips. "You know what? I'd like that."
Her grin was returned. "Great. Hope you like chimichangas."

Waiting for a ride in the dark
The night city grows
Look and see her eyes, they glow
