Refresh: Extras

Dada Dec?!

I CAN DO WHAT I WANT! AND WHAT I WANT IS CLUB DECCY AND FRESH SO MEH! 😝

   Clover was being fussy. She always got this way when Club was gone too long.

   "Wan' Dada! Wan' Dada!" Clover cried.

   I rubbed my face. "I know you want Dada but Dada is at work!" I have a splitting head ache.

   "Wan' Dada!!!!" She cried and tossed her cheerios.

   "Club is at work." I sighed picking the spoon up. "You gotta eat something little miss."

   Currently me and Clover were the only ones home in this home of 5. Myself and Club, Deccy, Jessie, and Clover. When Jessie started getting bigger we knew we needed a bigger house. And then Dec lost his apartment. It was alright though. Club and I don't mind. It's nice having Dec around.

   "Nuuu! Wan' Dada Dec!" Clover cried.

   Her cries tuned out for a moment. Dada Dec? As in Deccy? She called him Dada? "Huh?"

   Clover giggled. "Papa purple!"

   I touched my face. It was warm to the touch. Blushing? "Little miss you have no clue what you just did." I frowned.

   "Uh oh." She giggled more.

   "It's bath and nap time for you." I stood up and picked her out of her chair.

   "NUUUUUU!" She screeched as I carried her off.

   That night I crawled into bed and sat criss cross. "We need to talk."

   Club looked up from his book. "What?"

   "Clover called Deccy Dada today." I admitted.

   He blinked and set his book down. "Oh..."

   "Oh?" I raised a brow at him.

   "What do you want me to say? Im not. . . angry about it." Club shrugged lightly. "It's just- Dec is a part of their lives and ours so..."

   I frowned. "What does that mean?"

   Club huffed. "Don't do that. Don't put it on me. I see the way you look at him!"

   "Me?" I pointed to myself. "You're the one defending him right now when..." I stopped myself. " Why are we fighting about this?"

   He sighed and looked down. "I dunno. It's weird. I love you starlight! But I care about him too..."

   "That's all you had to say." I held his hands gently.

   He gave a small smile and nuzzled close. "Now what?"

   I paused for a moment. "I dunno." I sighed and closed my eyes to think.

   "We both care for him right? We should ask him to spend more time with us." Club suggested quietly.

   "Yeah." I snuggled close and gave a short yawn. "Makes sense."

   Over the next few weeks that's exactly what we did. Movie nights, lunches, small things. It was nice. It felt. . . right?

   It was late at night. We were watching some weird documentary on late night TV. None of us seemed able to sleep.

   There was a cry from down the hall. All three of us groaned.

   Club stood up. "I got it babes." He pressed a kiss to my cheek and then to Deccys forehead. He got about two steps away before he froze.

   Deccy reached a hand up to touch his head. "Did you just kiss me..?"

   Club's face flushed a pale green. "O-oops?"

   I tensed up a bit. Oh no. Was this ruined by one little mistake? Please no. Everything was okay. Everything was happy for once.

   There was another cry and then it quieted down. I guess she found her pacifier.

   Deccy shifted and wiggle out of the covers. "Was that. . . intentional?"

   Club and I shared a look before he sighed and came to sit back down. "I'm sorry."

   "You're sorry?" Deccy seemed confused as the blue in his eyes was fading.

   I sighed softly. "Listen. . . A while ago Clover called you Dada. So Club and I had a talk."

   Deccy frowned in thought. "Is that why you've been so. . . touchy?"

   Club gave a short nod. "Yeah."

   "Both of you?" Dec looked over at me. "With. . . me?"

   "I mean. . . If you want..." I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly. My face felt like it was burning.

   Deccy gave a small giggle and burst into a fit of laughs. "You two are so silly!"

   Club and I gave each other a hopeless look. What. . ?

   Dec giggled once more. "I'd love to. If you'll let me."

   Club gave a bright grin as his eyelights shone. "Really?"

   Dec snuggled into my side where he was before. "Really."

   I sighed as the tenseness melted away. "Good."

   Club took his spot on the other side of me. "Yeah."

   "I think the documentary is about penguins now." Dec pointed out nuzzling closer.

   "I like penguins." Club whispered.

   "Me too." I hummed.
