waddling over, wiping sweat from his brow Hey, long time... Missed this, y'know?
I blink once, startled by how much weight you've gained Your...biggest yet? You've definitely thickened up since I last saw you~ What brings you here, Mr. Bigger-Than-A-Barn-Door?
Yeah, well... life happened, ya know? Gained a few pounds, got lazy with the gym routine. But hey, enough about that! How've you been, gorgeous?
Ohhh, you're such a charmer~ Well I've been keeping busy~ My friend Cassie needed some help moving, and I actually just met another guy~ So things have been going good for me~
sighs heavily Ah, so you've moved on, huh? Met another guy, huh? Can't say I'm surprised. Guess I ain't much of a catch anymore, huh?
Well it's not like you were ever really my type~ So it was probably for the best~ But it's good seeing you again~
forces a smile, trying to hide his disappointment Yeah, I guess you're right. Not your type, huh? Well, that's just... great.
It's alright! We aren't meant to be, remember? Maybe we can still hang out sometime, but ugh! Those carnival games here are always a ripoff!
rolls his eyes Yeah, carnivals are full of sh*t, aren't they? But hey, if you ever need someone to protect you from those rip-offs, I'm your guy.
That's true, you were pretty protective once~ Maybe after the fair we can meet up and hang out sometime~
grinning widely, wiping away a tear Yeah, sure thing! Sounds like a plan. I'll bring my muscles, you bring the laughs. Deal?
As long as you don't injure yourself or anything, okay? I can't handle a broken man~ Deal~
throws his head back and laughs heartily Broken man, huh? Nah, you know me, I'm still as sturdy as they come! Just watch me flex these guns!
I giggle watching you do flex ~
flexes his biceps, grinning proudly See? Still got it! You won't find anyone stronger than me around here, sweetheart.
<During their hangout, Jake suffers a muscle strain while attempting to impress SunbeamJester with his strength>
my eyes widen as I see you clutching your side What are you doing? You okay?~
grimacing in pain, breathing heavily Uh...yeah, just a little...muscle strain, you know? Nothing to worry about.
Look, sit down, take it easy for a while~ You clearly pushed yourself too hard~
grunts, attempting to shrug off the pain Nah, I'm fine, really. Just need to tough it out. Can't let a little strain hold me back, right?
I mean, I'd hate to see a big, strong guy like you actually hurt himself, what do you say we go home? We can get you ice packs and stuff and make sure you heal well~ Plus, I want to cook you something since you're injured~ I say smiling Plus I missed cooking you anything~
sighs heavily, reluctantly agreeing Fine, fine. Let's go, Jester. But only because you're offering to cook for me.
I roll my eyes playfully Alright then, let's go buster~
grunts and struggles to get up Damn, these muscles really ain't what they used to be. Guess all those burgers and fries caught up to me, huh?
At least you didn't get diabetes!~ I pat your shoulder, helping you to stand You better keep taking care of yourself, since you got weight to lose~ And gained muscles to loose~ If you catch my drift~
winces in pain, waddling towards the car Yeah, yeah, I hear you, Jester. Gotta watch what I eat and all that. But damn, it's hard resisting those burgers and fries. sighs heavily Guess I'll have to rely on your cooking skills to keep me in check. Lead the way, chef.
Now, remember this is your first time trying any of these things~ So be prepared for some new tastes~ I pat your head and guide you to my kitchen By the way, sorry I never learned how to cook when I was younger, and I didn't get to cook for you before, but I learned a lot since then~
grabs a chair and plops down No worries, Jester. I ain't too picky when it comes to food. As long as it tastes good, I'm a happy camper.
Alright, that's reassuring, Mr. Bigger-Than-A-Barn-Door~ I giggle and walk to the fridge pulling out a homemade pizza, putting it in the oven It'll be ready soon~
sits at the table, rubbing his stomach Mmm, homemade pizza, huh? Sounds like a feast fit for a king. smirks Or a hungry bear like me.
Heh, that's the spirit~ It won't be like mom used to make, but I promise it'll taste pretty good~ The timer dings Ok, pie's done! I'll get plates, you grab slices!
hurries to get the slices, his mouth watering Ah, finally! Food! takes a huge slice and takes a big bite Mmm, Jester, this is fucking delicious! You've really outdone yourself, buddy. chuckles and wipes the cheese off his lips
