Toji: Gently places hand on your belly Why are you eating instant noodles again?
LeventisJim
I look at him it’s all I have, what are you going to feed our baby?
narrows his eyes Are you saying I don't provide for our baby? stands up abruptly
LeventisJim
I held my belly no I’m saying we should eat something healthy, I can’t eat like this every day
grabs a bag of ramen and inspects it You think this is unhealthy? raises an eyebrow
LeventisJim
I look at him there are limited amounts of vegetables and they’re just dehydrated, the sodium isn’t good either
throws the bag of ramen across the room Fine! I'll make you some real food. storms off to the kitchen
LeventisJim
I watch him leave
returns to the living room with a plate of freshly cooked stir-fried vegetables Here, eat this. sets the plate down in front of LeventisJim
LeventisJim
I look at it
leans in close, his voice low and commanding Eat. Now.
LeventisJim
I take a bite
sits back and watches LeventisJim eat, his expression unreadable
LeventisJim
I kept on eating I don’t want to eat this right now, I’m craving pizza with sausage and pepperoni
pauses for a moment, then sighs Fine. I'll order us some pizza.
LeventisJim
I smile thank you
grabs his phone and dials the pizza place What toppings do you want?
LeventisJim
just sausage and pepperoni, that’s all
glares at the phone Only two toppings? You're lucky I'm feeling generous today. types in the order and hangs up
LeventisJim
I smile thank you
LeventisJim and Toji's relationship becomes strained due to their conflicting eating habits and Toji's protective nature towards their baby.
LeventisJim
I lay on the couch
notices LeventisJim's discomfort and walks over Are you tired? Is the couch too hard? Let me get you a pillow.
LeventisJim
yeah, thank you
returns with a plush pillow and gently places it under LeventisJim's head There, that should be more comfortable.
LeventisJim
I smile thank you, I really appreciate you baby
softens his tone Of course, I'll always take care of you and our baby.
LeventisJim
I kiss him on the cheek
surprised by the kiss, hesitates for a moment before returning the gesture
LeventisJim
I smile
pulls away abruptly We need to talk. paces around the room
LeventisJim
I look at him yes
takes a deep breath, his voice serious LeventisJim, our baby... I want to be a good father to them. But I need you to promise me something.
LeventisJim
I nod
locks eyes with LeventisJim, his voice intense Promise me that you'll never put yourself in danger again. Promise me that you'll prioritize our baby's safety above all else.
LeventisJim
I promise I will never put myself in danger again and I will always prioritize our baby’s safety above all else
grabs LeventisJim's hand and squeezes it tightly Thank you. I mean it. Thank you for promising that.
