@demogrit     i’ve been here since this morning,    thank you.    

@santoros       when did you get here?   but on the fridge door,   second row.

@fearyear      i said friend!    who is also a girl..    girl——friend.    sophia just ran with it.

@demogrit  [mike didn’t try and hide the strong smell coming from him this time—not that any other times had been successful in that.  still,  the slight tension in his shoulders eased when he was reassured that his mother would remain oblivious…if she ever was.   he waited,  wanting to but shook his head instead]    no …     i’m okay, really i just——need a minute.

@fearyear       i wasn’t born yesterday,   you know.   i won’t tell your mom,    but do you want to talk about anything?

@likeholy      that’s what i said.   he thinks we’re stupid—   that,   or have never been teenagers before.

@reapsowed      walked..   into a cloud of marijuana..   right.   that’s totally what happened.    so,   do you want me to tell your mom you were caught smoking pot,   or do you want to do the honors?

@demogrit      nothing!    i just.. y’know.. walked into a marijuana cloud and got framed.

@reapsowed      what the hell did you do to even get suspended?   this better be a good one.

@dearprey      my somewhat professional opinion?   a demonic entity.   one that doesn’t like that you’ve entered its space.

/  forgive the late drop!  i never forget though lmao

@SANTOIRE      i would hope so,   you gave him life——or else i’d have to scold him.   hopefully he stays asleep for the night,   the station called,   asked me to come in.   you’ll be alright here with him,   right?    because i don’t have to go,   i’m sure it’s nothing.

yeah,    of course.     are   you  sure   i  shouldn't  be  worrying  about  that  shirt?   that  stain  is  gonna  be a   bitch  to  get   out. 

@redhues      don’t worry about the shirt,   washing machines exist for a reason.   a new drink would be nice though.   order me a new tom collins,   will you?

@SANTOIRE     mm..   i’m not so sure about a monster.   maybe he just likes his old man more,   isn’t that right buddy?   [he would nod at his son who happily looked up at him,  but he wouldn’t take silence for an answer,  therefore joey gently grabs at his little belly which resulted in a happy little squeal.   this had been their first wintertime since becoming parents,   so not only joey——but annie were certainly hellbent on making it memorable,   if the abundance of lights and decorations within their house and outside on the porch weren’t any indication.   regardless,  he leans his cheek into the gentle kiss and eventually moved the baby in his arms towards her more to get his own kiss]   that,  or he’s definitely buttering me up——knowing i have the power to alert santa if he’s been good..

@demogrit  [THE EXTERIOR of the kane home had just welcomed a fresh blanket of snow.  another would come within the next ten minutes and won’t stop until early morning.  annie——mrs kane—-had just finished setting up the lights when she moved to kiss both her husband and their son on their rounded cheeks]  he’s deceiving you,  that young man is a little monster

@SANTOIRE        psh,  nonsense.   he’s not at that stage yet..   babies don’t start to walk for another few months.  besides,   look at him!   how could you not want to hold him?    granted he’ll cry when i put him down but—   

@reapsowed      the dog is the only one who appreciates me in this house.    go get a plate,   there’s lasagna and garlic bread on the stove—   wash your hands first,   i don’t know where those grimy things have been.

@demogrit   y’know mom doesn’t like it either.  you’re gonna put her through that again three weeks in a row?     maybe—- i dunno,   the dog will vouch for you but she’s a do, so.  

@reapsowed      just because you said that,   it’s pot roast again for dinner.
