Our Arrangement (Partybeetle Smut/Fluff)

graaaaaaa

Poob was in the kitchen early in the morning making pancakes, being the only thing they knew how to cook other than actual cake. Pest had woken up at around the same time as them to help make the rest of the breakfast before waking up the baby.

Poob had made a bunch with different colored food dye so they were rainbows. Pest on the other hand just made some simple scrambled eggs for them. Their young child had just started eating a few solid foods which made Poob very existent because it meant another person to share their baking with. Poob didn't really like eating cake themselves but it was always fun to make it and see others enjoy it.

Pest and Poob sat out the plates and cups to eat together. Poob started pouring the drinks and making a bottle in case the baby got fussy about the food and wanted to be bottle fed instead, meanwhile Pest went to wake up their little bug. He held them with care and sat them in the high chair while they babbled and kicked their legs around.

Poob was always excited to wake up and see their precious party bug, they kissed the baby on the head and picked up a small fork to try getting them to eat. "Come onz baby, wez made thiz food for u!" They smiled while putting the fork near their mouth. The baby smacked the fork full of egg away and whined in response.

Poob sighed, "Arez u sure? The ticklez monster is gonna get uz!" They tickle their young child making the kid giggle. Pest watched with a loving smile as he ate his breakfast, this felt so perfect.

The phone started to buzz and Poob stood up to get it, "Pest, canz u get them to eatz while I answer thatz?" He nodded and swallowed his bite before getting up to coerce their infant child into trying solid foods while Poob went to talk on the phone in the other room.

"Alright little fella, are you gonna give your daddy a hard time or are you gonna eat?" He shoved up a small bite of pancake with the fork and made zooming sounds while bringing it to their mouth. "Open wide for the airplane, little bug," he brought the food up to their mouth for a bite, this time they actually tried some of it.

When Poob came back they were delighted to see the baby devouring their food with a big smile on their small chubby face. "Pest, u gotz them to eatz it!" They, hugged him tight, they had a bit of a tired look to them contrasting their usual energetic behavior. Taking care of a child had really mellowed them out since they could put their energy into something other than partying and being loud so often.

"Pest! I won't believez who called! U knowz how u said ur famili said theyz wouldn't come to see thez baby? Wellz, ur dad justz called and saidz he wants to come today!" Poob was excited, they hadn't met any of Pests family and Pest hadn't talked much about them. On the other hand Pest froze in panic. How did his father get Poobs number to call them? How did he even know about the baby, he didn't tell him, unless another family member told him about it.

Pest tried to suppress his look of worry but he had to warn Poob of his fathers... Reputation. Pest didn't like people knowing about it since Pest himself already had a negative reputation so if people knew about his father he would never go outside again. The only other person who had heard of Pests father and put two and two together was Kasper when the two were little kids and saw Pests dad picking him up from daycare but because of his illness Kasper couldn't remember most of his past so Pest hoped he's forgotten that too.

"Poob, please tell me you didn't say he could come to the apartment," Pest wanted to sound calm but his voice and movement radiated with worry. "Iz did, why, is thatz bad?" Poob now felt some of that worry. "I don't know how to tell you this exactly but my father is, well, a dangerous man to say the least. He has a history of terrorizing people."

Poob didn't know anything about Pests family but his father supposedly being so dangerous was not what they had expected. "Then whatz do wez do? I alreadyz said he could comez and meet his grandbaby, wez can't just suddenly sayz no when hez comes!"
