(/bites his lip, suppressing a smile) You gonna walk the whole way?

(/jerks back, sort of indignant) You can’t even reach the stove, babe. (/backtracks) Babe as in baby, not… (/this is too weird..) Whatever. I was gonna say, you could take advantage of it.

So you’re just gonna wait it out, huh? (/watches you instead of whatever bright, kiddy cartoon comes on, feeling oversized and a little out of place, like he’s babysitting and has to befriend and impress this kid he hardly knows. so cute, though)

Yeah. (/hands over the remote and shifts to ruffle your hair) You’re a cute kid. This is weird.

(/still a little bit distressed, he hesitantly sits on the couch next to you, pulling his legs up and watching the temper tantrum from a distance; mumbles) Better than the pregnancy scare..
