this one time when i was seven i thought that i could talk to trees (because i had no friends), and i use to sit by them and say things and one day i was talking to my tree friend called kevin and this girl went up to me and said "are you talking to that tree, freak!" and i started crying and hugged on to the tree, and while she was laughing one of the branches fell on the girls head, thanks kevin.
That would be so fun! I won't offer the same, but... uh... at least you've met my nephew, that sort of counts!
*Kevin is thrilled with the amount of trust and intimacy being offered. He's a family kind of guy, so this means a lot to him.*
*He makes room for Nico to be seated ~
"isla vs jaxon wouldn't even be close, for sure. maybe. . . you can meet her one day."
the grin shapes into something softer. the possibility of nico feeling comfortable enough to allow kevin to meet his family might have been laughable once upon a -
~ something from me, you know? So I keep inserting myself into everybody's lives to remind them I don't just vanish the moment they look away. So it's really, really cool you did this for me. Makes me feel a more like a person.
-- haha, that sounds sadder than I meant it to, ~
( Hrghnnnn... something about her is so captivating, it's hard not to have a reaction.
He clears his throat after she walks away, and takes a deep breath. )
k*nky boy, hm?
( there's an amused gleam in her eyes as she pulls away. noticing the pink coloring his face, deliberately letting her gaze linger. )
good to know. see you around, babe ~.
( and with that, she walks away. )
"Twelve is perfect butt-kicking age, I bet she could kick Jaxon to the curb any day," he says with a grin as he pictures it Loony-Toons style.
Kevin fills up the bowl with his favorite ice creams, then bounces down onto the nearby couch.
"This is the sweetest thing anybody ~
"thanks. she's twelve but she can kick butt. think she'd even beat jaxon at football."
okay. . . maybe an exaggeration but poking fun at their mutual enemy, at least once in a while, is fun.
"heck yeah. let's eat until we can't anymore."
with a grin, nico takes his bowl, -
...! The sticker completely distracts him, and he gently takes it.
"This is awesome, you're the coolest! Thanks, Nico! I'll put it on my helmet too, best place for everyone to see."
taking a seat with a few vortex club members.
under the guise of supporting his vortex club bigfoots, he watches. looking effortlessly chic, sunglasses on, sylas sweeps his gaze over the field.
with his line of sight hidden, he focuses his gaze on kevin, who's conveniently -
"Aw, that's so cute! Put 'er here~"
He reaches for a high five, then goes in for a chest-bumpy hug, flashing two middle fingers Jaxon's way as his hands wrap around Nico's back.
