An actual smile spread across Gabe's face at that, scratching his head and turning his head down to look away. "No, still working on it." Damn, what was it with everyone asking about him and Fei lately? Not that he really minded it, but it wasn't like they were THAT obvious, were they? "It's kinda hard to explain." Just flat out awkward really, especially to a parent.

"Take a shot, I promise I'll never breathe a word of this conversation to your dad if that helps." And that was something he hoped Gabe remembered, he didn't break promises. "You're pretty obvious you like her, and she's been flirting with you, so what is it?"

Gabe sighed after a few moments. "Alright," Now, how to phrase it without making her look bad? That was the last thing he wanted. "…She's not really…" he fumbled with his hands a little. "Commitment's not really her thing, if you know what I mean. So while I'm here trying to get an actual DATE, she's trying to… yeah…" He trailed off before picking his hand back up and pointing at Satoru. "Which I won't!" The blond threw out there quickly JUST to be safe.

"Relax, I don't care if you've slept with her or not, as long as you were safe." There was no way he could have resisted saying that, because there was literally no possible way to not try and embarrass his stepson around the topic of sex. "So why the lack of commitment? Something to do with bein' adopted or what?" It could be the case. Anyone who made it out of New Tokyo while young was likely an orphan.

The blond leaned back in his seat and shrugged. "I think she's scared, says that stuff just ends up with broken hearts." Which he couldn't really argue with, a lot of relationships ended that way, but all he was asking for was a chance.
Gabe thought for a second and looked at Satoru. "Not trying to be offend anyone, but how'd you get my dad to stay with you?" He was aware of the kind of person his father was when he was younger, he figured it was worth a shot to see how they did it.

Satoru thought for a moment and shrugged. "Search me, he was the first person I ever dated, so hell if I know." They were having a heart to heart, and Satoru knew that the information wouldn't go into the wrong places. "I'm just a snarky asshole, I don't understand why anyone sticks around." He'd been called entertaining and dangerous in equal measure, so he really didn't know.

Gabe grinned a little at that. "I dunno, some people like personalities like that." His dad obviously did, but he also had one of those personalities that made him click with most people. "Or maybe all that ink finally went to my dad's head to where he wasn't thinking right." He shrugged and laughed a little. Wow, a pleasant conversation with Satoru, who'd have seen this coming?

Satoru laughed, "I'm betting on the second one, it's the only reason I'd be dumb enough to do the same," the sprawling tattoo that covered up his burn scar was massive and had taken way longer than Satoru had hoped to be finished. By the end of it he was certain there was more ink in his system than blood.

Gabe laughed more at that, around that time he heard the front door open and close. A few seconds later Keith was standing at the entry way to the kitchen and blinked at the scene in front of him. He must be more tired than he thought, this was… not right. "Okay, okay okay okay…" Mumbled the taller man as he leaned his shoulder against a wall, clearly fighting to stay awake. "Who… who the fuck are y'all and where's my family…?" He yawned and scratched his head. "Why're y'all happy?"
The Kuma's grin widened at his father's sleepy response. Sure it'd of been funnier if he was more awake, but this was entertaining too. "What'cha talking about? We've always been like this." It was fun messing with his dad like this when he was tired.

"Yeah, Keith, where you been for the past couple decades?" Satoru threw in, pleased to see the inked man finally back home. "We've always been this chummy, freak."

Keith waved his hand lazily at them. "Shut the fuck up." He tried saying through another yawn.
Gabe shook his head, still smiling. "Dad, go to bed before you pass out."
The brunette, too make any real come back, flipped his son off before he went to go upstairs. He wouldn't be having a hard time going to sleep tonight, that was for sure.

"If you have school tomorrow Gabe, you should probably take your own advice." Satoru said to the Kuma as Keith moved out of earshot. "I can show up to work late if I decide to sleep in, but you have to be at school on time or I'll kick your ass myself."

Gabe rolled his eyes, but still managed a small grin. "Right, like you could do that." The guy may been good with a gun, but there was a slight height difference between them, not to mention the leg. He stood up anyway and headed upstairs himself, he wasn't in the mood to go to the dorms this late at night, might as well crash here. "Night." He called as he walked up the steps.
He had to admit he was surprised with how this all turned out, maybe there was hope for them yet.
