More chaos than Plan.

Outside the resturant.

Warm night air.

Tua was laughing at something Ohm said.

Mark stood slightly behind him,calm as usual.

Arnold stood a little apart

Watching.

As always

Ohm stretched dramatically.

''Okay,'' he said, turning toward Arnold.

Arnold looked at him.

''..What?''

Ohm grinned.

''I have a question.''

Mark immediately sighed.

''..DON'T.''

Ohm ignored him completely.

He stepped closer to Arnold.

Lowered his voice-but not enough to make it private.

''I know you like Tua.''

Silence.

Tua, still laughing with Mark, didn't heard properly.

Mark did.

His expression didn't change- but his attention sharpened slightly.

Arnold didn't react immediately.

Just looked at Ohm 

Ohm continued casually like it was nothing.

''So,'' he said

''...Do you want me to set you up with him?''

A pause.

Mark slowly turned his head.

''..Ohm.''

Tua was still laughing about something

Unrelated.

''...What are you two talking about?''

Ohm didn't answer him.

Instead-

He leaned back slightly and pointed loosely between Arnold and Mark.

''OH ALSO,'' he added casually.

''...Don't be Late.''

Ohm cotinued with a grin.

''Someone's gonna ROB YOUR LOVER BOY.''

He pointed-

Not at Tua.

AT mark.

Silence.

Mark froze for half a second.

''...What?''

Tua finally stopped laughing.

''...Huh?''

Ohm immediately laughed.

''I'm just joking.''

But he wasn't looking at Tua

He was looking at Arnold.

Arnold didn't react.

Just a small pause.

Then-

''...I don't need your help.'' Arnold said calmly.

Ohm smiled.

Mark exhaled slowly.

''...Can we go home now.''

Tua finally caught up enough to laugh again.

''...Why everyone dramatic today?''

Ohm immediately hooked an arm around Tua.

''Because Im here.''

Tua pushed him slightly.

''Get off me.''

Ohm laughed the entire time.

But before turning away-

He glanced once more at Arnold.

A knowing look.

Intentional.

Then he walked off like nothing happened.

Mark stayed beside Tua.

slightly closer than before.

Just a habit now.

Arnold watched them for a moment longer.

Then turned away.

But something had changed.

And Ohm-

walking ahead witn hands in pockets-

Smiled to himself.

''...GOT IT,'' he muttered
