A scrapped oc x canon story.
Enjoyyyy.. even though it'll never bee doneee
Billy often didn't care much for sweets, nor did he bother giving it the time of day to put money into buying them. But after hearing how much Jesse just LOVED hard candies during her time babysitting Son and Lisa, he couldn't help himself.
Maybe he was just being a hopeless romantic, maybe it was his need to give things to those he liked, maybe it was something else. The way she seemed to make the kids feel more at home, or maybe her optimistic look on things, or how she made that warmth rekindle anytime she'd hug him or give him a gentle pat on the shoulder. He wasn't quite sure.
Regardless, he had asked Gaming Computer to order a box of those Jolly Ranchers, and now he was sitting on the couch, waiting for it to arrive. Occasionally he got up to pace, or just to peak the window to see if the truck came. He felt a bit childish, as if he waiting for that red fat man to come through the chimney.
"Billy?" John asked, snapping Billy out of his thoughts, watching as he quickly spun around. "Oh! John! Uh. Just waiting for a package." Billy cleared his throat, feeling a bit flustered at being caught.

John grumbled, pointing a finger at Billys chest. "I-.. I." Billy paused before clenching his jaw. "I know where you're going to go with this. I'll do something else for you and Joe next time." He sighed.
John nodded, though he still felt a bit sour. "Please, just. We've been here a little longer, I get it. She's special to you, but-" "please. I'll. I'm sorry. I'll do something special tonight, promise." Billy ushered, his brows furrowing.
John blinked, frowning before letting out a sigh and turning back. "Please don't forget those who have equally done the same."
