     “Not a compliment bud, not a compliment. Well… I’m just saying that the amount of bananas you’re eating right now is ridiculous. Like, do you want strawberries? I’ll go get some for you.”

       "I'm taking it as one, so. It's not ridiculous- you're ridiculous. Fine, I'll take some damn strawberries. But that's only because I ran out of bananas."

"I’m sure a lot of girls want to bring me home. Too bad I never go home with em’ at all. I learned my lesson from laughing and not asking if they were okay. When I was in high school this guy fell and I laughed. Turned out he was pretty hurt."

"Is it because you don't want to or you just can't? Oh damn, that's pretty rough. I mean, the same thing pretty much happened to me. It was with this girl I was interested in and she fell while we were hanging out. So I laughed and she sat there. I thought it was out of shock, but then she started crying. So as I tried to help her, she got up and smacked me. She didn't break anything, but she was in pain for a bit."

         ”You’re a real pain in my ass.” She mutters while removing her jacket and tying it around her waist. Extending her arms with, purposely put on, annoyed face. “Alright c’mon.”

         "But you love me." He grinned widely. His grin only got bigger as she shed her jacket and tied it around her waist, opening her arms. She had barely finished speaking before he crushed her in a tight hug, making sure his sweat got onto her somehow. "Isn't this great?"

"Of course I’m good person. I’m just your everyday gentlemen of course. I’d laugh a lot once I knew the person was okay. Just to make sure they aren’t bleeding out or anything like that."

"Well, good for you. I bet a lot of girls bring you home to their parents, who end up loving you. Yeah, I'd probably laugh for maybe two seconds, then help them up, check for bumps and bruises and laugh some more."

        “You a weird human, man. But seriously, you can’t live off bananas. You need all the food pyramid. Even the non-sexual foods.”

           "Thank you. I've received that compliment multiple times. I don't eat just bananas- I eat other foods. I just eat bananas a lot."

She laughed at his pout, kissing over it, “You know I love you, but I have to teach dance tonight and I don’t feel like being all sweaty and gross for it.” she teased him playfully. She arched her eyebrows at his offer, “Well, my muscles do feel kind of tense, and what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn’t help you relax after such a rough day?” she said with a smirk, walking toward him on the steps, “..I guess I should get in with you, huh?” she teased, kissing him one more time before running in front of him, like a race to the shower. Cassidy was always kid like, but it was even worse when she was with him.

He sighed dramatically. "You'll get sweaty and gross, anyway. What's the big deal? I'll just help start the process." He grinned cheekily. He smirked, "A bad one, for sure. Besides, we can...help each other out. It's a win-win situation." He watched as she walked towards him and his smirk widened. "I'm taking that as a yes." He had barely enough time to kiss her back before she was running past him. He took off behind her, right on her tail. Though he sometimes complained about her child-like behavior, he secretly loved it.

"I’d laugh after I made sure you were okay. Cause I’d look like a real dick if I was just laughing. Then you were seriously hurt, that would be horrible."

"Well, aren't you a good person. The world needs more people like you. Unfortunately, I'd be the type of person to laugh before helping the person. Unless, of course, there was blood involved."

"Tristan you’re so cute, don’t touch me. How about we raincheck the hug until you wipe off your vile body glimmer, yeah?”

          "I'm very cute, thank you. Hmm...you know, that sounds really inviting but I think I'd rather hug you now. So I'll have to say no on that raincheck."

     “What if I said you make it look like really sexual? Would that help you stop or make you keep going?”

          "Actually....that just encourages me more. It's my goal in life just to be as sexual as possible."

"Luck is never on my side, well maybe some bad luck. Thankfully I was walking by if you had fallen. I would have helped you back up."

"Maybe your luck will turn around at some point. Who knows. Are you sure you wouldn't laugh first? Most people would laugh first and then help."

"Please don’t, I don’t want to hurt you and I can’t rip my jacket off fast enough — not that I want to anyway."

"I think I'm going to hug you just because you don't want me to."

     “You’re gonna die… or puke… of banana poisoning? Too much potassium? Its an epidemic.”

    "You're a terrible job of trying to get me to stop."
