Chag Chanukah sameach [closed]

[schachmeister]

Who: Armin Arlert & Ford Pines
Where: Cinnabar then a very normal patch of ocean just east of Cinnabar
When: Sometime between the 2nd and 10th of December
Summary: Armin has a Hannukah surprise for Ford
Rating: Delightfully G rated.
Log:

It's late in the afternoon when Armin steps off the warp pad in the Cinnabar pokecenter, glancing around. He had agreed with Ford to meet here, though he isn't sure yet if Ford has beaten him here, or if he had managed to arrive first.

Making his way further into the pokecenter, Armin looks around for Ford's familiar trenchcoat --Rain or shine, Mr Pines and his coat seemed inseparable-- while mentally going over his plans. The two Lapras he had chosen to accompany them had been withdrawn from the PC, his bag contained a few supplies they might need on this short trip and he had verified this year's Hannukah dates with Ford last month, so he knows he won't be late. Yes, everything looks well on its way to delivering Ford what he hopes will be a very welcome present.

crashes in here like the koolaid man

Listen. He likes his coat. It's got enough pockets for everything he might want to shove into it and then some. Wearing it is practically a workout with how heavy it is. Pens, loose change, notebooks, interesting rocks, mysterious keys -- you know. Stuff that's important to have with you wherever you go.

He and his coat are situated on one of the couches. When he sees Armin coming he closes an open sketchbook and tucks it into one of the pockets.

"Armin! It's good to see you."

He means that. He's not had a lot of company for the past few months and it hasn't exactly been good for him. Being in actual close proximity to a dear friend is probably the best Hanukkah present he could have, never mind whatever else Armin is planning.

Ford leave that wall alone

The smile that lights up Armin's face when he spots Ford is warm and genuinely excited. He's had plenty of company the last few months, but Ford is really in his own little class. Hanging out with Shiro or Jean or whoever else just doesn't fill that 'science grandpa full of science and bad ideas' niche that his heart so craves.

"Mr Pines!" He quickens his step a bit to bridge the distance. "I remembered this year!" Obviously, as they are here and ready to get this Hannukah train a-chooing. "Though one day you'll have to explain to me how the dates work."

Is it the moon and the stars? Something in the seasons? Do they just throw a dart at a calendar and deem it well enough? So many questions.
