"Meh," Plato snorted, bemused with the situation though it was clear he was conceeding to Alonzo.

Alonzo laughed softly, "so, what do you want to do now?"

"I don't know." He hopped down to the ground, landed in a crouch, then stood. It was so dark out. "Maybe go walking." He sniffed the air unsurely. Some of the stray instincts were always embedded. "We should head back toward the Junkyard..."

Alonzo leaped down landing next to Plato, "I'm up for anything," he said, not entirely truthfully. He had hoped that getting Plato alone might lead to something again. He wanted to make sure that Plato hadn't just acted because of alcohol, wanted to make sure that he actually well...wanted him.

Plato was never one to pick up on things and even if so, it was new for him. A new idea. He hadn't questioned things such as sexuality before. He just liked sex. Considered himself Tuggersexual. This stuff with Alonzo was new.
So he set off a pace, though slowed after a few. "Maybe we should go back toward the Junkyard..."

Alonzo kept place beside him, nodding, hands in pockets to resist putting an arm around Plato, "OK," he agreed, "sounds good."

Plato shuffled with his pace, not quite sure where they were going or what was going on. After a few strides, he walked closer to Alonzo, something he often did. He was always very touchy-feely. Always. And despite what happened, that didn't change that aspect. Plato didn't think too much of changes or implications--his brain never functioned the way the others did.
Sometimes it was frustrating. Alonzo was smart. Victor was really smart. The others, were really, really, really smart. Especially Victoria. Even that bastard, Mistoffelees. Ugh.
"Am I that stupid?" he asked Alonzo, thinking about Misto, what Misto said, and the desire to punch him in the face.

Alonzo shifted slightly at Plato's moving closer to him, he didn't want to overstep his bounds. At Plato's question, however, he gave up throwing an arm around him and pulling him close.
"Plato, you're not stupid," Alonzo said honestly, "you're smart on an entirely different level then most of us are. You have such determination, such heart, and such dedication to your friends. That's stuff that most of us can only dream of. Your friends love you Plato, and they know that you love them. That's more important than knowing math or reading novels." He kissed Plato lightly on his forehead, "that's why you're smart."

Plato moved his arm around Alonzo's lower back, hand squeezing by his hipbone. HE gave a bit of a nod, following. Different level than the others. That was one way to put it He closed his eyes with the kiss on his forehead before smiling more impishly, kissing him chastly on the lips, and then scooting away from Alonzo, jogging in the direction of the Junkyard.

Alonzo paused at Plato's kiss, but quickly recovered, laughing lightly and running to catch up with his friend.

Plato always preferred things this way. Light without too much thought. Then he didn't get so overwhelmed. Then, he could keep up. Alonzo was sweet about all the smarts stuff, but Plato knew he didn't quite have it. If he did, there wouldn't be all the jokes.

The tom was asleep in the alley, under the eaves from the building, legs and tail sticking out. He was in jeans and an open Hawaiian shirt, using a padded jacket as a pillow.

Plato slowed when he noticed the legs and tail. Another homeless one, but jeez, talk about no integrity. Not even curling up from underneath? Really? Ugh. Not that Plato should have been one to talk, and it'd taken him awhile to get a den, but really.

Long instincts caused him to wake when being watched.
"What? See something you like?"

Plato wrinkled his nose, disgusted seemingly. He put his hand on Alonzo's lower back to guide him away. Gross.

Alonzo glanced at the other cat, taking in his appearance, wow...he looked rough, "are you OK?"

"Fine without being sneered at," the tom retorted.

Alonzo glanced at Plato, "be nice Plato." He returned his gaze to the other cat, "I just mean, are you OK living out here on the street? Aren't you cold?"

"No," the tom said. "I quite often have a warm bed to sleep in, when I want."

What the crap? Why was Alonzo being so nice to some homeless punk who wasn't even doing the codes of being a stray? Maybe he wasn't a stray for that long. But really--Hawaaian shirt? How tacky.
He snorted a little, unimpressed, though listening to Alonzo.

Alonzo crouched down beside the other cat, "look, sorry about my friend," he whispered, "he's not been having a good day." He smiled, "now, I don't know anything about you, and I'm not trying to put my nose in where it doesn't belong, but if you want somewhere to stay...somewhere a little bit nicer and a lot more safe, I mean. I'm from the Jellicle junkyard, and you would be more than welcome to come with us there."
Alonzo wasn't sure entirely why he was doing this, but something in him reminded him of Munkustrap. Munk would go out of his way to help a stray, and so should Alonzo.

The tom blinked slowly.
"Why would I do that...?"

Alonzo shrugged, "because it's better than being alone on the street?"

"I'm only alone when I want to be. There's more business when roaming around." He vaguely wondered how long it would take for them to cotton on. Stupid smarmy house cats.

Alonzo frowned a little, "what do you mean business? You have a job?"

He looked between to two toms. "House cats," he muttered.

Plato suddenly felt defensive, and growled. "I ain't no housecat. You're looking at a stray. You seriously wanna fuck with me?!" He took a step toward Carbucketty, a little more menacing. Why the hell was Alonzo being nice to this son of a bitch?

Alonzo frowned at the other cat, that's what you get for trying to help... "Come on Plato, calm down, he's not worth it," he placed a hand on his friend's shoulder, willing him to stop his advance.

"You couldn't afford my fee," the tom said bluntly to Plato.

"I wouldn't want to pay for a dirty whore. You're ugly!" Plato snarled, temper from before flaring up yet again.
