His shoulders tightened for a half a second and his pride flashed before his eyes during said second. On the one hand, Atlas had too much of it to ever lose on purpose. Freddie had also opened the door to spare his pride a bit, publicly at least, because...yeah...sure. That had been it exactly. Atlas had not lost their last button smashing afternoon and he certainly had not been trying to win and therefore had not needed to reign in his sore loser attitude. It had aaaaaaaaall been according to plan and he had just been charitable in letting Freddie see how it felt to come out on top.
Yes.
Exactly.
"I mean..." he replied coyly with entirely too much emphasis on some wannabe swagger he now added to his elongated stride and shoulder shrugs.
Ascending the stairs and being careful this time not to trip over his own feet (growth spurts were wild like that), Atlas reached the loft first and moved over to take a peek at the archaic CD and cassette tape collections without really looking for anything in particular before moving over to the vinyls that always had more of an aesthetic appeal to the others. "Yeah...pretty sure it will work this time too," he nodded. It better. He had only scavenged for parts to make the necessary repairs. "...hey..." he mumbled after blowing a bit of dust off the cover of the vinyl record in his hand. "...is this...one of the albums they used for the Hogwarts in its Elements dance?"
A slightly rhetorical question seeing as he had labored for hours to sync up the lighting to the music, beat for beat. But it all had sort of blended together into one massive cacophony.
