"Stop that, Teddie." Juno warned in his strict older brother voice.
"You're so boring!" Teddie groaned.
Zoey sighed. "Come on, put the phone away." She asked nicely.
"My parents said I could use it." Teddie snarked.
Zoey tilted her head. "Okay, but not here, honey."
Juno reached across the table and tried to pluck it from Teddie's hand.
Teddie tightened his grip.
"Let go." Juno whispered.
Teddie shook his head.
"Then put it down and eat your food like a person with manners." Juno said.
Teddie glared at him.
Juno let go.
Teddie set the phone down, making it clear how unhappy he was.
"We're in a restaurant. Act polite." Juno said through gritted teeth.
Teddie decided to mock him. "We're in a restaurant... meh meh meh." He copied, tilting his head side to side.
Juno took a long sip of his drink while giving Teddie an unimpressed look.
Poppy rolled her eyes at them.
It was like the two of them were having a stare-off.
Zoey looked at Poppy and sighed. "Well, so much for a fun, "relaxing" day, huh?"
Poppy nodded.
"Just finish eating so we can go." Juno said.
"Obviously that's what I'm doing." Teddie snarked.
Juno reached under the table, lightly tapping Teddie's thigh.
Teddie kicked him in return.
Juno closed his eyes tightly. He sat back in his chair and crossed his arms.
Zoey gulped. The atmosphere was getting tense.
Teddie finished his food with an annoyed glare.
