Thanks and hope you'll enjoy. :)


With the radio blaring and the cool air blowing on his face, it was a nice day as any, if Adrian has to say anything as he drove past the nice neighborhood towards his destination. A perfect Saturday like this could have been a nice day to relax and unwind, but he has a promise to keep with his friend. Speaking of his friend, the gray wolf could see the visage of his small spotted hyena friend, dressed to impress with his blue polo and black pants, both loose on his brown, lanky frame. He is walking in circles and rubbing his hands together like he was cold when in reality, the hyena is just nervous. Adrian sighed as he slowed down his car for parking. Marcus is always nervous, but he was the smartest guy he knew, acing his tests with ease unlike himself.

That didn't stop his jitters, though, and he knew that. He knew about that ever since the two got partnered up in an activity way back in college. Now, fully graduated and they were still the best of friends, a stereotypical duo of the dorky football jock and the nervous math nerd. Their friendship prevailed all this time and they both helped each other many times now. It was the reason he was here; to help his friend like he did to him in those math tests.

He stopped his car right near his friend and hollered, gaining the attention of Marcus. He saw how his nervous face turned to relief as he exited his car, stretching his 6-foot-3 tall frame, bulging muscles showing on his black tank top and brown pants. Marcus quickly grabbed his belongings on the ground and walked towards the car and towards him, relief palpable in his face.

"Adrian! I'm glad you're here."

"You say that like I would just leave you hanging." Adrian said as he patted Marcus' head, the 5-foot-8 skinny hyena groaning as he messed up his hair. Still, Adrian knew not to mess with him too much. He was here for support, not annoyance.

"So, ready for the interview?", Adrian asked as he looked around the neighborhood. It was much quieter than last time, though it could be because of the lack of kids running outside.

"W-well...sorta, I guess? I pretty much prepared everything, it's just...the interview y'know..." Adrian nodded as he sympathized with the hyena, though he had to admit that finding the job itself is the hardest part. His attention is then focused on his smaller friend playing around with his folder and two bottles of...something.

"So, I get the folder and all, but what are those?" The wolf pointed at the two clear bottles of some red liquid. The bottles are small enough that even Marcus can carry two in one hand.

"Oh these?" Marcus said as he raised the two bottles, shaking the contents. "I just found these at the convenience store. Said to ' give utmost confidence' and all that so..." Marcus said as he blushed. Adrian raised his eyebrow, skeptical about that description. Still he saw the expression of his friend, and let the thought go. The drinks probably rely on the placebo effect but that may be what Marcus needs at this point.

"Well, from what I'm seeing, I guess you need that confidence boost yourself. Go ahead and drink a bit. I'll check up on the car again." Adrian said as he took a good look at the trunk of the car, in reality giving Marcus a bit of time to calm himself down. He heard a bottle opened up and a fizzy sound. Adrian stopped at that, surprised that the drink is carbonated. Maybe it's the sugar that gives you confidence?

The next thing he heard was a coughing sound, and he couldn't help but laugh as he heard his friend pound his chest loudly.

He looked at him with a big grin in his face, Marcus was only able to say a quiet "Fuck off" before he coughed again. What the hyena doesn't know is that Adrian is looking over his ensemble, seeing if his polo and pants now have stains on them. He needs to make sure his friend won't get embarrassed like he did on his first interview.

He first checked on Marcus' blue polo, the tight fitting top hugged his muscles well, showcasing his 15-inch biceps. The tightness is also apparent on his torso, the fabric seemingly stretched on his pecs and his waist, his 6-pack abs are shown off with clear definition. He really admired the hyena's body, especially for someone who hasn't been in the gym. He has that lithe swimmer's build that makes him buff but not big. Sexily muscled but not intimidating.

He nodded as he noted that there were no stains on his polo, the same can be said to his tight fitted black pants. He could see the fabric hugging his large legs just right that made him look like a runner, despite not running much in his life, unless he took running behind his back.

Marcus, meanwhile, is still reeling from the drink and it was at this point that Adrian decided to help him. He walked towards the hyena and patted him on the back, feeling those strong striations of muscle at the same time. It took a while for the coughing to settle down, but once it did, to Adrian's surprise, the hyena drank a bit of it before capping the bottle off.

"You sure you should be drinking more of that?" Adrian said with amusement as he walked closer to his muscled friend.

"Y-yeah...was just surprised with the flavor and all. I'm fine, Adrian." Marcus said as he fixed his hair a bit, his 18-inch biceps jumping a bit from the action, his whole torso stretched wonderfully showing off his large muscles. Adrian snorted, whispering "show-off" before the two giggled and went inside the car. Marcus is always showing off his muscles, whether the hyena meant it or not. The wolf had admitted to being jealous of him for those huge muscles of his and even more when Marcus revealed he hadn't taken a single step in a gym.

Adrian wore his seatbelt and saw the hyena doing the same, both having a bit of difficulty due to the size of their pecs. Once done, the two looked at each other and chuckled at how both of them are having troubles. Marcus placed the folder on the compartment and the two bottles on the dashboard before relaxing on his seat, or trying to anyway. The wolf sighed and rubbed the muscled shoulder of his best friend. Marcus seemed to appreciate the gesture as he smiled and that was enough for the wolf. He started the car and the two were well on their way, not knowing what had happened to the once skinny hyena.

What happened? Nothing happened. The hyena has always been like that. Move along now.

**********

Adrian sighed as he waited for the traffic to disperse, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel along the rhythm of the music on the radio. A k-pop song, he figured. Not that he minds, as he bops his head along the music.

It has been at least a good 30 minutes since they left Marcus' house and he could still feel the nervousness from his hyena friend. The huge hyena is breathing heavily, straining that poor polo of his as his tremendous chest heaved up and down. His fist clenched and loosened, unintentionally showing off his 25-inch muscled arms that he can barely put down due to the size of his wide back. He wondered how much struggle that poor top had experienced in its lifetime..

He had been whispering phrases like "You can do it." and "You got this" and all other variations the yeen could think of. Adrian smiled sympathetically, knowing how much the huge hyena is always nervous.

The 5-foot-9 300-pound hyena has always been like this, even with his incredible size that makes even the wolf feel small. Sure, he has the height advantage of a few inches, but the sheer width and girth of his friend makes the advantage non-existent. He shakes his head as he accelerates a bit, the traffic letting up a bit before stopping again. The wolf, with nothing better to do, decided to have another conversation with Marcus.

"So, how much have you been bench pressing now?" Adrian asked with a mischievous tone in his voice and Marcus had almost rolled his eyes in playful annoyance. It had become a staple to their conversation ever since Marcus had told the wolf how he had never been to a gym before, which made the wolf double-take and take a good look at the hyena's hulking form. The jests started as a way to cope for Adrian, whose 225-pound body is dwarfed by a large margin, but it turned into an inside joke as the wolf kept asking gym stuff with Marcus bullshitting his answers.

"Yeah, I did 4 reps max of uh...420 pounds clean." Marcus managed to learn a few words to play along but he did not know what most of those mean in context. Adrian laughed at the statement, followed by a soft chuckle by the hyena. The two managed to continue their conversation that might make a gym full of people have a stroke. Adrian is just glad he can make the hyena forget about the interview for a moment.

After another round of jokes and banter, the hyena once again reached for the bottle to drink a bit of it once more. Adrian eyed the pair of bottles at the dashboard. One bottle is unopened yet but the other has more than half of its content intact. Marcus has been sipping the drink off, taking small sips here and there. He pretty much figured out that the drink is anything but a confidence boost, so far it's just a regular fizzy, cherry-flavored drink. (He asked Marcus earlier what flavor it was, and both of them wished it was strawberry instead.)

A muscled arm placed the bottle back to its spot and Marcus stretched his body to loosen up, Or tried to anyway. He was so huge that he could barely fit on the passenger seat, his back at least twice as wide and almost thicker than the poor thing alongside delts that he was sure were bigger than watermelons. This made those massive 38-inch arms of his hang on his torso instead of being on his side properly. HIs pecs obviously did not lag behind, in fact they were probably the biggest body part Marcus has, his chest protruding at least a foot forward, making his pecs hit the dashboard.

Truly Marcus is considered a monster, a 5-foot-9 450-pound mass monster. Adrian smiled as he reached for the stick on his side, his own humble 20-inch arm bumping to the monstrous trunk of an arm. It was almost laughable, the comparison between them is unfair. The only thing he outsized with his arm is the size of the huge vein running across the hyena's bicep, and even then it was beginning to look like a losing battle. Still, he wouldn't have it any other way with the two of them. Adrian sighed and took a good look at his friend, muscles bulging with no effort whatsoever. Biceps larger than heads, pecs as big as watermelons, and those legs. Lord, those legs are comparable to trees. It made him go back to that train of thought...

"You really should try posing on a stage, at least once." Adrian said as the hyena stammered a bit, embarrassed about the prospect of showing off in tight briefs. Marcus had heard of this before, and every time the answer is always no. As much as he tried to deny it, his physique really does make him, as one of Adrian's jock friends say, a "freak of nature". Having a 450-pound muscular body with no training whatsoever is pretty impressive, all things considered.

Marcus hummed to the thought as he reached for the bottle once more, trying to drown out the thoughts of him in posers. Adrian is still talking about how nice it is to see him out sizing most of the heavyweights who trained for years.

"Like, damn, just imagine the judges faces when you step on the stage and saw your hulking body in those posers--"

Marcus gulped.

"---you and your 680-pound body, just. Damn."

Adrian said as he tried to stop himself from laughing as he managed to take a peak of his face, buried underneath such immense muscles. Marcus' face is as red as a tomato, fidgeting in his undersized seat as he tries to squirm gently. HIs left arm is already taking over Adrian's side of the car with its 60 inches, his right arm that is squeezed between the car door and his mighty torso with a back that is comparable to a barn door. Marcus looked absolutely oversized beside him, but it always has been like that for the 5'10" yeen.

Adrian just chuckled as he warned the yeen that he will do a turn, which he appreciated. The last thing he needed was to be thrown off the car due to his weight and a sudden turn.

Like last time...

"You really should have taken the back seat, y'know. Space and all that..." Adrian said as he stopped the car in front of a red light. Marcus blushed in embarrassment, knowing how wide he is to the point he occupies more than half of the space in the front part of the car. He stammered a bit before answering. "I thought it would still be fine, a-and..."

Adrian's eyes softened, realized that Marcus probably just wanted a bit of physical contact to calm him down. He shook his head as he was about to accelerate the car but he quickly hit the brakes due to a passing car. Incidentally, the hyena had accidentally taken a big sip of his fizzy drink once more, only intending to drink a small amount.

Adrian's action made the car almost lurch in surprise and the two shouted as the car tilted at its front, lifting the car a bit before settling down. Adrian had his hand in his chest, breathing hard and thankful that an accident didn't happen.

"Ya OK? Sorry for that, by the way. Freakin' car overtook us like that..." Adrian said as he took a look at the backseat, where his 1105-pound hyena friend is. The yeen occupied the whole seat with how wide he was, and that was just his torso. His redwood-thick arms are another league of its own, more than 100-inches of brawn packed in those limbs that could crush anything in its grasp.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I-is the van okay?" Marcus meekly said as he tried to straighten himself up, to no avail as his legs are so thick it raised his seated body by a good foot or two. Not helping are his traps that had already eclipsed his head due to its size, those muscles already touching the van's ceiling. It made him look much taller than what his 5-foot-10 height would indicate, giving him a menacing look that would scare kids. Still, the meek hyena still lives on, no matter how many pounds he had gained naturally over the course of his life.

"I'll park the van then check. Hang on tight...", Adrian said as he slowly but safely parked the van. He then went outside to check if the van had any damages. On one hand, he was thankful his car couldn't handle Marcus' impossibly huge body so he had to borrow his friend's van, since that little incident may be just the thing to retire the damn car. On the other hand, he would rather not have this van break down on him right now. Marcus still has an interview to attend and he would never hear the end of it from his friend if he quote unquote hurt his baby.

Speaking of the yeen, Adrian tried to peek at Marcus through the window, who was struggling a bit as he tried to make himself comfortable like earlier, working hard to not strain his poor clothes further. He had to hunch a bit which made his beach ball sized pecs touch both his impossibly wide thighs and the seats in front of him. His traps casted a shadow over his head. His arms had a bit more room unlike if he squeezed himself in the passenger seat, enough to move about and check himself. He saw Marcus stop and look at him through the window and gave him a meaty thumbs-up, that hand of his bigger than dinner plates. He gave a thumbs-up on his afterward, smiling in relief as the hyena seemed to calm down. Well, as calm as he could be.

After a decent check up and turnaround, he deemed the van 'not damaged' and went back to the driver' seat. "Alright! No more distractions. Let's get ya to that interview, kay?" Adrian said as he glanced at his friend through the mirror. A meek nod from the technically short stack hulk was enough of an indication for him as he drove the vehicle forward, slowly gaining speed.

Marcus, meanwhile, grew nervous as they were nearing the destination. He stretched a bit more, working to relieve himself of kinks and thankful that the van has much more space for his bulk. He raised his powerful arms, not able to raise them fully as monstrous delts and traps block the arm muscles to do the action correctly. He didn't mind, it's been like this for a long time now, just a little bit of exercise is enough for him.

He eyed the drink in his right hand, the small bottle looks comparatively tiny on his large hand. Marcus shrugged his boulder-sized delts and decided to finish the drink before they arrived at the destination, not caring anymore about the 'confidence booster' effect of this drink.

Anyway, there's only a half left of the drink, Marcus thought, and he still has another one as well.

it would be fine.

**********

"We're here! Go get yourself ready, ya big lug." Adrian said as he reached for Marcus' folder on the dashboard, before exiting the large truck. Stretching and groaning, he did a few exercises to work on those kinks before going to the compartment, ready to escort the enormous hyena.

A bit of unlocking here and there and he was able to open the door and stood back far away for his friend to come out. Loud footfalls over metal can be heard inside as he saw his friend slowly but surely get his bulk out of the vehicle.

He whistled as he finally saw the stretched-up blue polo and black pants over such a huge yeen. He still can't get over Marcus' size, despite being with him since college. Massive pecs that protruded far beyond was humanly possible and his thick back gave him that unnatural thickness. He was able to match the truck's width and he was positioned sideways, such is the size of his hulk of a friend. Slow sure steps are needed to make sure nothing is damaged. The fact that he can damage such a truck still astounds Adrian.

"Hope the compartment isn't that hot. I've been asking my uncle to at least put a small fan in there but no luck." Adrian said as he took a few steps backwards a bit more. "Nah, it was fine enough. T-thanks, Adrian." Marcus said meekly as he continued to shuffle his way outside, his overly muscular legs that would make the thickest of redwoods small making it harder to walk gently. Adrian saw how the top of the hyena's quads already touches the bottom of his own pec shelf, such is the amount of mass his friend has.

And to think the wolf is still taller by 3 inches...

Marcus finally got out of the truck and Adrian was able to marvel at his friend's size much better. The sheer width of his yeen friend was astounding. Being 6-feet in height is still quite an average height for normal people, but his more than 15-feet width assures the populace that he is still quite a mass monster. It was still hard for Adrian to think how his friend managed to make his 2350 pounds of monstrous muscles fit a frame that is still 3 inches shorter than his own, never mind the fact that this was natural with little to no gym time, but he stopped questioning after a few years of friendship. Despite that, he could still see the nervous look the spotted hyena had in his face buried in those powerful pecs that protruded so far and those immense trap muscles that had given him at least two more feet in height. Marcus is clearly worried about the upcoming interview and Adrian can understand that, Lord knows his first interview went well.

The wolf smiled at that and decided to rub down his right pec in assurance. He can't actually touch the yeen's head anymore unless he climb due to his torso so huge and while he can rub his canyonlike back, he has to go walk around his torso which is as wide as how long a truck is, not mentioning his arms which could easily be compared to a barn and win.

"You'll do fine, ya big lug." Adrian said as he tried to smooth down the stretched-up polo over one side of Marcus' pec. At this point, he wonders more about Marcus' clothing than his megalithic size. The damn polo must have cost thousands with how it managed to fit well enough to the hulk, not to mention his pants that are filled with monstrous leg muscles.

"R-right..." Marcus said as he breathed in deeply, lifting those monstrous pectorals up, and down as he did so. Adrian has to wonder how not seeing anything past his pecs feels, but he rather not distract the yeen. After a few more stretches that made him show off those house-wide arms, he breathed deeply once more, stretching the top as much s it can, before exhaling. "Right. I can do this."

Adrian chuckled at that and placed the folder on top of his pec shelf, which the yeen huffed in slight annoyance. It has been something the wolf had been doing ever since to the hyena, sometimes he managed to sit on top of the pec shelf and one time the hyena had invited his friend to straight up lay down and sleep on it. The sheer size of his pecs allow Adrian to sleep with room for at least two more people.

"I'm going now. Thanks Adrian and uh...wish me luck." Marcus said as he waddled his way to the company building. Adrian had to wonder how the hell he would fit inside but after the guard in front escorted the yeen to the back entrance for trucks, he decided that it would be fine.

After seeing his friend enter, he scanned the inside of the container if there was any damage. Marcus is always careful with his strength, but it was still nice to make sure everything is okay. Besides, his uncle would get angry if he managed to damage the truck being used for shipping wood.

It took a few minutes of looking around when he saw the two bottles of those fizzy drinks on the floor. One was completely empty, laying down at one side of the truck.

The other one is still unopened, contents still full, waiting to be consumed. Adrian picked it up, noted that it was still a bit chilly. He shrugged his own humble muscular shoulders and pocketed the bottle for his friend.

Who knows, maybe he'll need a drink after the interview..

**********

It has been an hour and a half since Marcus went inside, and Adrian had to admit he was a bit concerned. Not about the interview, no, the hyena is smart and can easily land a job if he so chooses. He's just a bit concerned if his friend had managed to cause property damage on his interview day.

He shook his head and continued playing his precious mobile game. As strong the hulking hyena is, he was always delicate, knowing how to control his strength. He remembered how a bet was made, if he could handle a small egg on his hand without cracking. Lots of people betted against him, with only him in the opposition.

He chuckled at the amount of money that was sent his way., the priceless reaction was fulfilling enough, though.

A few minutes passed till he felt the earth rumble a bit before he saw the silhouette of his hulking friend. He can't discern the reaction and what not, mostly because he can't his face due to his pecs blocking the view, but it was apparent with how he waddles, and this certain waddle seems to indicate that he's in a good mood.

This became apparent as he got closer, his face showing relief and giddy. "I got the job! I did it!" Marcus said as he gently placed his enormous forearm on his friend's shoulders.. Adrian almost immediately buckled over the weight despite the gentleness, the forearm bigger than him in terms of sheer size. Adrian simply smiled and patted the large pec with much gusto, knowing that such an action won't harm the hulk.

"Congrats! Told ya you can do it. When ya starting?" Adrian said as he patted the huge forearm, signaling Marcus to let go. He appreciates how touchy-feely his yeen friend is, but sometimes the weight is too much.

"I can start next week, since they have to fix up the room to accommodate my size." He said as he tried and failed to fix his hair. Reaching his own head has been an action he can never do anymore, but that doesn't mean he won't try. "They'll keep it on the first floor and have my own room and everything."

"Nice!. Glad they're fine with ya, ya big lug." Adrian said as he hugged the hulking hyena, or tried to. His entire arm span is not even enough to encompass half of a single pec. He squeezed as hard as he can to see if he could even leave a dent but no dice. Marcus was just chuckling at that and, in a rare instance of pride, flexed his pecs a bit, enough for Adrian to tumble backwards due to the surge in size. The two were silent before laughing it off, clearly happy over the good news.

"Adrian, are you okay? Sorry for that..." Marcus said as he reached out his large hand to where he thinks the wolf is. Adrian noticed the hand, a bit farther than Marcus wanted, but still accepted it.

"Nah, it was fine." Adrian said as he stood back up and admired his friend's body. He really can't get enough of such a sight. "I was the one saying you should be more proud of your body. Seriously, keep flexing. I like that!"

Adrian laughed as he heard Marcus stammer. No matter how big he is, he is always easily embarrassed.

"So, how about we celebrate, yeah?"

That made Marcus stop and consider. "Oh, sure but... can it be an all you can eat buffet?"

Adrian just laughed and nodded. "Of course! I got enough to treat you to some good food and drinks. You deserve it, man." Oh right, that reminds him.

"Oh right. Speaking of drinks..." Adrian said as he plucked a certain bottle from his pocket. He raised it up enough for Marcus to see. "Do you still want this or...?" Marcus thought about it, before nodding towards the wolf, basically a permission for his friend to climb his pecs and help him drink the contents. Marcus would rather do it himself, but he can barely touch his face, much less direct a small bottle to his lips. After opening the cap, Adrian gently shoved the bottle to his friend then immediately left. He leaped down from his position to the ground and stretched a bit until he heard a pop and a burp. Adrian chuckled and turned around to see his hulking hyena friend.

The wolf still can't get over how large his friend is. Marcus' 6-feet-3 height makes him just as tall as the wolf, but what really stands out is his width and mass. With almost 25-feet in width and more than 18-feet thick, the 5500-pound hyena is a massive sight to behold, literally. Muscles that are beyond definition and dimension, it was no wonder Marcus never tracked down his specific measurements, not sure if it can be handled by mere tools.

The wolf looked at the sheer pec shelf that occupied his vision. Talking to him face to face requires actually climbing the powerful walls of muscle that are his arms since his pecs jutted out so far from his torso, creating like a massive cliff that prevents those below him from seeing his face. Not helping are those legs of his, his quads practically fighting for space against the bottom of his pec shelf. He asked Marcus how it felt to have his thighs and pecs grind against each other, and the only answer he got was that "he got used to this".

Adrian looked at his sides and saw just hundreds if not thousands of pounds of muscles surrounding him, the sheer width of his friend is just staggering, more than twice the length of a school bus, probably more if he was honest.

He heard a big sigh of contentment form the hyena as he stretched and Adrian almost lost his balance due to the sheer wonder of the sight if he weren't so used to it. Powerful muscles stretching and flexing, bulging and relaxing, the movement was limited but it was enough to showcase the strength in each fiber of muscle yet not enough to tear down his clothes. Seriously, who makes his clothes?!

"That was good..." Adrian heard the hyena grumble, his loud voice can be heard throughout the parking lot they were in. "I wouldn't mind drinking more of it."

Adrian laughed as patted the huge hand of his friend, a often used signal to climb his arm and talk face to face. "You should have bought more then, big guy."

"There were only two of them left in the drinks section, if I remember what the helper said." Marcus said as he instinctively raised the arm where Adrian is, helping the wolf traverse his arms to sit beside his head. The wolf shouted thanks as he was now able to walk the bumpy road that is his arm. Adrian had to climb the huge bicep more than twice as tall than his own body from the side like he was wall climbing, but the wolf is used to it at this point.

After finishing that obstacle course, Adrian sat beside Marcus' head, submerged in too much muscle as his pectorals jutted out and up to the point where the hyena couldn't see anything in front of him. His traps aren't helping as well, a veritable wall of muscle that Adrian is sure is almost half as tall as he was, maybe even more. He patted the pec beneath him and smoothed out the straining polo that the hulk was wearing before messing with Marcus' head. The hulk struggled a bit, flexing his enormous neck in the meanwhile. The two laughed and pretty much stayed there for a bit.

"So...all you can eat?" Marcus' eyes brightened when the wolf said, which prompted the smaller of the two to laugh. Such cute puppy eyes on a man who weighs more than 2 and a half tons. He still can't believe that such a mountain of muscle could be so cute, but here they are. "You have to walk us through the city though." Adrian said with a playful grin on his face.

"Don't remind me..." Marcus said as his face turned beet red. Vehicles are no match for the hulk, no matter how much Adrian searches for one that could carry him. A truck was too small for him, sadly, and the two were thankful there was a beaten off path they can take to avoid the city proper.

"Let me be 'driver' for you again?"

"Please and thanks." That was Adrian's cue to stand up and walk towards the edge of the pec, acting as a guide to him like always, when he saw something.

It was an empty bottle.

Adrian chuckled and took a better look at the bottle. The bottle seems nondescript and seems like any ordinary soda. Ingredients seem normal and so does the nutritional value, though he did note the absurd amount of sugar in it. "Thank the skies Marcus doesn't get fat...".

What took his attention, however, is the picture of a blue-furred wolf with what seems to be dragon horns on his head, just at the bottom of the bottle. The name "Sirius Lee" is printed below it. The name in itself seems weird till he said it out loud, his curiosity replaced with a bit of anger over the word pun, but the fact that the wolf has horns, a hybrid, maybe?

"Adrian, you okay over there?" The wolf snapped out of his thoughts to look at his worried friend. It dawned on him that this drink might have been dangerous to consume, especially coming from a person with such a sketchy name, but...

...nothing seems to be wrong. It's not like Marcus changed or anything, he was still the same nervous hulk he met a few years ago. He looked closely at his face, noting every nook and cranny, if there was something amiss, something wrong, something...

Yeah, nothing changed.

Adrian gave a thumbs up to placate the massive hyena and proceeded to walk towards the edge of the pec shelf, playing with the empty bottle in his hand. He sat down and gave out a holler that he was in position, and he felt the surface below him move slowly but surely. It was always an experience being Marcus' "driver", but he had to focus on making sure Marcus won't destroy another car.

Or building.

He fiddled with his phone a bit to open the radio and let the music and the cool wind surround him as he directed his friend away from a skyscraper. He wondered if Marcus could carry one. He probably could, to be honest. He has to ask Marcus about that one day.

Adrian smiled. It was a lovely Saturday today and he was glad he get to help his friend.
