Rat Man Appreciation

You and Silco sat with your legs crossed on the floor of his office, a very young Jinx playing with an array of toys in front of her. Tiny little hands grasping at all the exciting colors in front of her.

And there was Silco, completely relaxed, a smile softening all the hard lines in his face. He looked at Jinx with so much love, so much pride. You wish you could stay in this moment forever. To have Jinx stay this small, have Silco stay this happy, to feel this shroud of warmth forever.

The tiny little blue haired girl holds a fake phone up and looks at Silco, her eyes glistening in the lamp light. Silco points to himself in shock and gently grabs the phone from her hands. Holding it up to his ear, he gives a scrunch of his brow.

Oh this man, if only the Undercity knew how goofy he is with his child.

“Hello? Ah, Sevika, what has caused you to call Jinx’s phone?”

You roll your eyes playfully as he goes about his fake conversation. “You’re telling me that Dustin has made a mess of plans again?” Silco tilts his head back dramatically, the back of his hand pressing against his forehead. “How I rely on you both is beyond me.” Jinx let’s out many giggles at his show, her little body leaning forward as she laughs. “I suppose you have to talk to her, Jinx, it’s for you now, sweetheart.”

He hands her the phone and imitates him holding it up to her ear. She gives a few babbles and her palm hits the floor. Slamming the phone down, she looks up to her father with a smile. “Look at my little girl, a natural at giving orders.” He scoops her up and holds her to his chest, giving her cheek many loud kisses. She gives a shriek of laughs, and Silco chuckles.

“I see someone has been watching dad answer calls.” You laugh and scoot closer to the both of them. “Like I said before, she’s so much like you.” Jinx grabs your face with her chubby hands, and her lips roughly land on your nose.

“And she’s got her mother’s affectionate side.” You give a snarky retort and Silco’s shoulders bounce in silent laughter. You peck your lips on Jinx’s forehead, then your lips land on Silco’s.

“Where’s those little strawberry puffs, I feel like she’s going to love those. She’s finally able to eat foods and this is the perfect wait to—.” Silco’s face drops and you look up at him, your eyebrow raising.

“Huff…eyes--ngh! Eyes up, sweetheart. Show me.”

“I-I…hhhh!! C…-can’t, I cahh—oh fuckkk, S-Sil-“
