"I was there when you got your name. Marie was telling a story about McDonalds and her nephew or uncle or something.
Fez invited me over after school to help me with my math homework.
We were all in the kitchen, Marie was telling a story about her nephew Carl that got diabetes from eating McDonalds every chance he got
"Aw (Y/N), watch this fuckin' kid," She said with a cigarette hanging out his mouth
I turned around, "Fuck," I muttered and grabbed the old cigarettes sit of his mouth, "Sorry Marie,"
Marie laughed and patted my shoulder then pulled a trash can over to me to throw the ashes in
"He's eatin' fuckin' cigarettes. Now you're fuckin' one of us, right!" Marie chuckled, "What are you, a little fuckin' ashtray?"
I looked over at Fez who sat on the counter, he shrugged and started laughing with his grandmother and I joined them
When I introduced you to my friends from school they all thought it was weird that you were named after an ashtray, but I thought it fit you in a weird and oddly-specific typa way.
"His name's Ashtray?" an eight year old Maddy asked
I nodded and played with the toddler on the gas station floor
"Why?" Kat asked
"It's stupid," I said
The two of them looked at me obviously expecting an answer
I sighed, "I was giving him a bath and then he was eating old cigarettes," I said
"Is he okay?" Kat asked and examined Ash's face
"I mean, he's still breathing so yeah, I guess," I shrugged and picked up Ash
The two girl stared at Ash
"He's cute, though," Kat said and played his Ash's hands
I was there when you learned how to ride a bike without training wheels
"Tell me when to let go," I said as I loosely gripped the back of the seat where the five-year-old was sitting
"Okay. Promise you won't let go," Ash looked back at me
"I won't let go." I held up my pinkie and he wrapped his finger around mine, "Kick off the curb and just peddle," I instructed
Ash nodded and kicked off the curb. I let go when I saw he was riding steady and walked behind him.
That night when Fez got home, the three of us watched a movie and ate pizza from a local shop
"(Y/N) taught me how to ride a bike," Ash beamed at his older brother
"Really?" Fez smiled softly
"She broke her promise though,"
"What promise?" Fez asked and looked over at me
"She said she wouldn't let go but she did, but I guess it's okay 'cause now I can ride a bike," Ash shrugged
Fez hummed and congratulated Ash on his new accomplishment
"Thanks for showin' him ma, I'on know if I had the patience," He kissed the top of my head as we went to get a blanket for Ash whose head was laying in my lap
