I decided not to push the subject.
As Arthur dramatically stared off into the distance, I asked
"Can I see Taylor?"
"No."
I scowled. "Why?"
Arthur paused momentarily, placing a fore finger against his chin in a thoughtful way before smiling devilishly and pulling me close to his chest, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Because I'm a jealous man, Mari."

He whispered in my ear. I shivered slightly at his cool breath tickling my neck before stepping down hard on his foot.

Arthur yelped in surprise/pain and stepped back.
I scowled, flicking some hair in front of my eyes to hide the slight pick tinge that had entered my cheeks.
Arthur glared at me while shifting his weight onto his other foot.

"Rude."

I stuck my tongue out.

"Rapist.", I replied.
"Am not!", Arthur pouted. He crossed his arms.
"Pedophile."
Arthur pouted even more, giving me puppy eyes.

I defy you, puppy eyes.

"I am not a pedophile.", he said calmly.
I raised an eyebrow.
"How old are you?"
Arthur grinned mischievously.

"Around 44,000. Give or take a few years."

I coughed.
"No seriously.."
Arthur smiled happily.
"I'm telling you the truth."
"Well.." I paused for a moment, not really knowing what to say.

"Then the truth makes you a pedophile!"
