⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹ He spoiled you rotten from day one. New shoes, cookies before dinner, extra TV time all of it meanwhile, Huey and Riley sat on the couch side eyeing granddad ⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹ “Granddad… she’s literally three. She can’t even read.” “I don’t care! She don’t talk back! That’s already more than I can say for you two.” "I'm six...?"

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹ Huey pretends you’re “just another distraction from his work,” but secretly he makes sure you’re always safe and fed first

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. You’ll be coloring next to him while he writes his next essay about social injustice and he’ll quietly hand you more crayons without saying a word

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. For Riley the minute you could walk, he was like, “Aight lil sis, time to learn the hustle.” You’re his partner in crime until he gets caught, then it’s “Nah, she ain’t even involved"

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. Riley is the only person that does your hair properly.. other then Jasmine of course

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. Riley had no clue what he was doing at first kept pulling too hard and acting like you were the problem “Stop movin’, you makin’ it harder!” "GRANDADD-" "AYE DONT BE A SNITCH" But after a few tries (and some yelling from you), he got surprisingly good at it.

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. Braids a little uneven? Sure. But he’ll slap some beads at the end, hype you up, and say, “See? You look fire!”

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. Huey teaches you self defense the first thing he does when he starts the first lesson like it’s a military operation “Discipline, focus, awareness.” You're staring at him wondering why is he teaching a six year old how to rock someone's shit

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. The three of you once tried to cook dinner for Granddad. It ended in smoke alarms and takeout, but he still called it “the best meal ever.”

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. Riley is your favorite to play with, but Huey is your favorite when you can’t sleep He’ll sit on the floor next to your bed, reading until you drift off

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. You and Riley fight over the dumbest things who gets the last juice box? Who controls the remote? Who used whose brush? Huey just sits there sipping tea like, “And people wonder why I have trust issues.

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹. One time, Riley snatched your favorite snack, so you used one of Huey’s self-defense moves on him Riley hit the floor like, “Ayo she just mortal kombat-ed me!” Huey didn’t even look up from his book

⁠━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹ It always starts small Riley blasting music too loud, Huey trying to concentrate, and you sitting on the couch minding your business. Until suddenly Huey yells, “Riley, turn that noise down!” and Riley just ignores him

━━━ ．°˖✧ 🎀˚₊ ⊹ You try to stay out of it at first. You really do but then Huey turns to you like, “(Y/N), tell him it’s too loud.” Riley spins around “Don’t listen to him! Tell him it’s fire!” and now you’re in the middle of a political debate over Thugnificent’s new mixtape
