it suits you. don’t you know, i spent an hour just picking out the design just for you?
it’s halloween season. i foresee a new, custom shirt in your future.
( leaning into his side, popping a carrot into her mouth. )
i really don’t.
oh , maybe that will add to the trove of oddly cute gifts you’ve gotten me over the years .
i still have that christmas sweater that you insist i wear every year .
( he playfully nudged her back . )
you really don’t like it when they get a scratch on me, do you?
don’t joke with me now, i really will get you a shirt.
( she grins, a playful nudge of her elbow given to his side. )
of course i’d have your back. who will i swipe things off of if something happened to you, hm?
wow . i should get that on a mug or a t-shirt. ‘ jean’s most stylish detective ‘
( he would sit down , joining her. all well cut , dressed nice. his shirt hugging his figure comfortably . )
glad to hear you’ll have my back there .
i am. you’ll be the most stylish detective ever seen once i’m done with you.
( a content hum, patting the empty seat beside her for him to join. )
don’t you worry about any bad guys. i’ll pop ‘em for you.
oh , great. given you an idea . are you picking the outfit ? i am going to feel like i’m a model .
( he took a piece of carrot & popping it into his mouth . )
yeah , that’s true . i do love a good hug or a cuddle . don’t think the bad guys will like shouting teddy bear .
hey, now there’s an idea. we’ll get you an outfit and everything.
( snickering, though she shoots a look of gratitude his way as she digs back into the hummus. )
don’t act like you wouldn’t like a hug. you’re a big teddy bear, really.
I ain’t no telepath, but i’d make a hell of a detective .
( he smiles back at her, warm & comforting like a hot chocolate .)
oh , you like the fleece huh , next minute you’ll want to give me a big warm hug . and hey , don’t stop eating . I like that smile of yours .
one of you is thinking about cake right now and i need you to stop, because i’ve been craving cake all day and i will not be held responsible for the horrendous behaviour that will follow should i get even a WHIFF of cake.
alright, you’ve got me.
( with an amused grin, jean nudges the hummus towards him. )
i needed something to go with my carrots. the fleece was just a bonus, it’s a little chilly.
come on . that’s my hummus , I bought it yesterday .
( a smirk appears on his face, almost going to take the hummus away. )
mayo huh ? mayo isn’t that colour .. what else am I going to find ? you’ve got a fleece of mine ?
