Caught with the Hat
It was only a moment. He hadn't intended to keep it or anything. He just wanted to see what it looked like on, see whether he could rock the headgear like Cougar did.
Cougar was in the shower and Jensen borrowed The Hat for a minute or two, just to take a look in the mirror to see what it looked like. He hadn't been going to injure The Hat – even he knew that was more than his life was worth.
But then everything had gone wrong.
It had started with Clay. Clay had called from downstairs and asked him to throw something down, which he'd done without a problem. Then Roque had asked him to find out what time the My Bloody Valentine 3D new release was showing, so he'd quickly logged onto his laptop and got up the webpage for the movie theater and he'd been in the midst of reeling off the times to Roque at the top of his voice when Cougar had appeared in the doorframe.
At first Jensen hadn't been able to put his finger on what he'd done to deserve the look of death that Cougar was giving him, but then, as he moved, the hat cord caught on his skin and reminded him that he still had on The Hat. He stuttered out an apology and took The Hat off, holding it out to Cougar, rambling more apologies and promises to never ever touch it again and begging for forgiveness.
Cougar took The Hat and turned away haughtily and Jensen dropped against the nearest wall, letting his head bang against it a few times for good measure.
What Jensen hadn't expected after the disaster with The Hat was to walk into the kitchen to find Cougar telling Pooch about how he'd caught Jensen with the hat and how he'd rambled apologies and begged for forgiveness offering cookies, ice cream and guaranteed wins of hackable lotteries.
Even less had he expected Cougar to be the one laughing. Then again, sometimes, he remembered, Cougar was full of surprises when he wanted to be.
