cheap trick & a one-liner;

Amira: a newborn. they're adult sized, remember! ninja sized, if you will.

Amira: that wasn't an option: babies or ninjas, mystery human?

Reid: Huh.

Amira: would you rather fight ten newborn sized ninjas or ten adult sized babies?

Livvy: excuse me? the dorkier the better!

Livvy: YES to pancakes.

Livvy: you wanna practice lines with me and share what you have to say to el?

Livvy: ugh, such a gent

Livvy: yeah, baby, you can see them. can i come over? i don't want you being sad and hungover alone

Reid: Yeah, alright, babe. I think seeing you and your piercing would cheer me up.

Livvy: are you at home? i need to see you so i can kick you

Livvy: BABY I CARE AND I LOVE YOU AND I WANT YOU TO LOVE YOU

Livvy: but seriously, you gotta let me help. i hate this. how can i help? do you want me to scope out ellie, see how she feels? you need a cuddle? you wanna see my new nipple piercing?

Reid: In bed nursing a hangover, so yeah, home.

Reid: I do love me. I like me, you know, 99% of the goddamn time. This shit just gets me down.

Livvy: baby you're breaking my heart here

Livvy: ugh fuck it, i'm gonna guilt trip you and trivialise your feelings x

Livvy: reid macklemore. i spent half of my life literally on the streets, listening to my parents cry, i almost lost siblings, myself, and you wanna know what one of the best and brightest parts of those years was? you, you big idiot. sprawling across your sofa watching cartoons, your mom making sure i never went hungry. sitting cramped in the back of in a too small car with you and ellie on trips to the beach because you BEGGED your mom to take us when you found out i'd never seen the ocean.

Livvy: your entire life has revolved around making others happy and i'll never rest until you get your turn

Reid: Liv... I'd do all that again, alright? Just to see the goofy fucking smile on your face. I wanted you to feel happy and safe and shit. I love you, stupid.

Reid: I'm gonna be alright, I swear.

Livvy: and what if it's another kyle?

Livvy: and what about YOU being happy?

Reid: I wouldn't let another guy like that anywhere near her.

Livvy: i dunno, baby.

Livvy: be honest. would it Really be for the best if el found someone else?

Livvy: MAC omggggg

Livvy: you were a kid. we all were. you could have been there for her, as a friend, in the way that we all tried to be, but you went above and beyond. twist it whatever way you want, but you're always gonna be the guy dyl looks to when he needs a dad. ask them yourself, see what they say.

Livvy: i love you and you're so smart but you're a damn idiot

Livvy: cut the patriarchal shit, mac. he didn't NEED a father figure, he had a badass mom who could handle anything thrown at her. you loved that kid the second he was conceived and stepped up for him, not for el.

Livvy: believe what you want about ellie not feeling the same, babe, but this stuff about you not being cut out for that life? you're only fooling yourself

Reid: She was a scared kid. Ellie's always been a badass, but I knew she was terrified. I couldn't leave her.

Livvy: they Are pretty great tbf good job

Livvy: noah? that's all fun and games baby :)

Livvy: come on. you're telling me that the way you helped raise dylan was just you 'trying' for el? you've always been his dad. and there's no way you don't want all of that and more with her, mac.

Reid: Uh huh. Now who's delusional?

Reid: Well, yeah. He needed a Father figure, I stepped up. But I'm not anyone's Dad.

Livvy: excuse me, i saw an insta photo of you literally sucking callie's nips a week ago, i am not the gross one here

Livvy: but baby, what if it didn't? imagine a world where you and ellie just get to be happy? together! in love!

Livvy: honestly, if you and ellie Don't end up tpgether i'll literally marry you myself and suck your dick every day by way of apology that is how SURE i am

Reid: I can't control what that fucking wild thing posts to her Instagram. Besides, she's got nice tits.

Reid: Wouldn't Noah be jealous, huh?

Livvy: uhhhhhh, no because noah should be pulverising me not ellie but whatever

Livvy: baby baby baby

Livvy: has it ever dawned on you that maaaaaaaybe she wants to grow old with you BECAUSE she loves you? in a big fat hetero way?

Reid: Again, gross.
