* CHAOTIC DUMBASS ENERGY !

cute feels like a juvenile way to put it, so she opts to pretend he didn’t say anything of the sort and move on from that. she rolls her eyes, sitting up a little in her seat and pulling her leg back. “eye candy’s supposed to be seen, not heard, so if that’s why i was keepin’ you around, i picked like… the worst person.”

dani cracks a broad grin, no doubt looking fonder than she intends when he wiggles his eyebrows at her. idiot. “’mostly’. tch. i keep you around ‘cause i like you.” a pause, and she rolls her eyes, still fond. “and maybe ‘cause you’re cute.”

“okay, you like me, but do you like me like me?” she’s admitted it and it’s too late to pretend she didn’t, and beau’ll be damned if he’s not going to give her shit for it. no way is he ever planning on letting her forget she’d said it out loud when it’s clear she’s not all that happy with it.

“shut the fuck up; you act like you’re a giant asshole but you’re a good dude.” she thinks that half the time he’s talking to her, he’s being self-deprecating as all hell, and– there’s a fine line between when that’s funny and relatable and when she starts to worry, even if she won’t admit it.

dani stretches out her leg, kicking halfheartedly at his hip. “quit being dramatic. seriously, you’re not even half as bad as you think you are. you think i’d stick around if you were?” she gives his hip another nudge. “i’m not putting up with you, dumbass.”

beau cringes, unsure of if he’s imagining the sharpness of her voice this time or not. the look on her face says she isn’t; the fact that she’s rarely so sharp with him in a serious way says he’s imagining it.

either way, he’s not a big fan of it.
