Unexpected Perfection

{Ayah}

A little while passes before I see either one of them again but one day I get a call from Mason.

"Ayah, can you please come over and take care of me? I'm sick and Theo doesn't care."
He complains.

"Don't tell her that shit."
I hear the deep voice in the background.

"What's wrong? I'm on my way."

The poor baby has food poisoning.

And to make matters worse, the apartment is a complete mess when I show up.

Damn, it's only been 3 days since I was last here.

"I told you to stop eating out all the time. Here, lay down and watch some cartoons."
I soothe, giving Mason a hug when I see him.

"Yeah yeah yeah, SpongeBob is probably on."
He grumbles, curling up into a ball on his bed.

I don't see Theo until much later when I sneak out of Mason's room to make lunch.

"Well well well, if it isn't twinkletoes. If I didn't know any better I'd think that you were avoiding me."

I turn and groan as I hear that dreaded gruff voice.

"I have been. Go away."
I mutter, busy applying jelly to Mason's sandwich.

"This is my apartment, you go away."

When I look up, he has his eyebrow raised.

Never mind his perfectly combed hair.

Yeah, his haircut is definitely working for me.

I bite back the urge to speak on it.

"What the hell is going on around here? This place is a mess."
I demand.

He doesn't even blink.

"We had an old friend over yesterday and he's always been one to talk us into slacking off."
He is saying.

I walk around slowly, almost jumping out of my skin when something falls on my head.

"Oh my God, ew."
I complain, panicking when I feel something sticky land on my shoulder.

When I look up, there are multiple pieces of cheese stuck to the ceiling.

"Here, let me help."
He grumbles, shuffling forward with napkins.

I stop him immediately.

"Don't touch me. Why on Earth is sticky cheese on my head?"
I growl.

He pauses.

I raise an eyebrow as his cheeks slowly turn a little pink.

Oh wow, a blush.
