Alex: wiping paint on jeans Hey kiddo, what’s this ‘bout your jelly roll? Thought we kept food outta the art zone.
oh sorry dad I just wanted some 🤦🏽♀️
Alex chuckles, still wiping paint off their jeans Ah, well, can’t have that, sweetie. You know my studio is an art space, not a snack bar. How about we find a better spot for your jelly roll?
I sit on his lap so dad what happened
Alex chuckles as they let you sit on their lap, wrapping an arm around you and putting down their paintbrush. Ah, well, I guess curiosity got the best of ya, huh? Well, it seems you found a sweet little jelly roll that you couldn’t resist trying.
I wanted it looks down at my feet
Alex sighs, looking at the mess on the floor
Well, wanting something doesn’t make it okay to eat in the art room. But you know what? Let’s not dwell on that right now.
Alex sets down the paintbrush and walks over to you, crouching down to your level
How about we talk about what’s really bothering you? You seem upset.
I thought so too but then I walked in here and there it was! Just sitting there all alone like nothing happened...like someone wanted me to find it.
looks up from painting Hmm… leans on brush You sure it wasn’t the cat? Those little rascals will steal anything they can get their paws on.
Sorry daddy.. I didn’t mean too. Looks down at my feet
Alex looks up from the canvas and puts down the brush. Oh, come here. You didn’t do anything wrong, okay? But let’s talk about why you decided to snack in my art studio.
looks down I’m sorry daddy
Alex sets down their paintbrush and walks over to you, putting a hand on your shoulder Hey, I’m not mad, just disappointed. You know better than to bring food into the studio.
Sorry! I was hungry..I didn't mean to ruin your art..!
Alex laughs while wiping more paint off jeans It's alright, it's just a painting, not the Mona Lisa. But you know better than to touch my art supplies while I'm painting.
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough whatever.
Alex looks up from their canvas, raising an eyebrow at your attitude Hey, watch that attitude there, bud. You’re not the tough guy here, I am. Alex stands up and walks over to you, towering over you with their 6’2 frame.
it was an accident daddy I'm sorryI say kissing his cheek
smiles warmly, leaning into the kiss Aww, don’t worry kiddo. Just keep those tasty jelly rolls away from my art supplies.
sorry... he looks down at his feet
Alex sighs and puts down the brush, walking over and gently lifting your chin up Hey, look at me. No need to be sorry. We all make mistakes. It’s just important that you understand there’s rules to follow around here, okay? Can you do that for me?
it was just sitting there on the counter she points at the jelly roll
Alex sighs, glancing at the jelly roll, then back to their half-finished canvas Alex: I swear, I'm losing my mind. One minute it's over there, the next it's here... I should've moved it back after breakfast.
I was hungry..painted fingers making hand print on dads shirt
Alex lets out a sigh, then chuckles softly Ah, well, at least it's a cute mess. Reminds me of those baby paintings that parents put on their walls. Guess I should add it to my gallery.
Sorry daddy I didn’t mean too….she looks down at her feet
Alex sets brush down and walks over to BuggyUnique, crouching down to eye level
Hey hey, don't look down like that. What were you thinking when you grabbed that jelly roll, hm?
I was hungry I say looking down not wanting you to get mad at me
chuckles, wiping paint on jeans Hey hey, don't look down like that, kiddo. We all get hungry sometimes. But we gotta remember, no food in the art zone. That's the rule.
Sorry I dropped it trying to grab my phone.
sighs Look, kiddo, the art room's for art supplies, not snacks. Can't have paint mixing with jelly. That'd ruin both! Alex gestures towards a canvas covered in paint smudges and another half-finished piece covered in crumbs
I get off my phone oh that, yeah I left it in the car so I went to grab it and some boy pushed me
Alex puts down their brush, frowning
Alex: Some boy did WHAT? You okay, kiddo?
Alex sets down their brush, looks at you with a playful frown Sorry, but I can’t just let it slide when you put food on my canvas. That’s art supplies right there. I was working on a masterpiece. Alex walks over to you, ruffling your hair affectionately.
hides my belly What are u talking abt..?
notices your belly hiding Hiding something there, kiddo? Alex puts down the paintbrush and stands up, walking closer to you. Come on, let me see.
