Dad: sighs heavily Just wanted to see how you’re doing. This movie any good?
Boaue
i turn off the tv dad why are you here
rubs the back of his head awkwardly
Well, uh, I finished work early today and thought I’d drop by and check on you, that’s all.
Boaue
I'm just sitting there crying silently as I watch the movie.
notices your tears and sits down next to you
Hey...are you okay? What's wrong?
Boaue
yeah it's pretty good I say as I keep my eyes on the screen
leans against the couch next to you, watching the screen with you
Hmm... it looks good, yeah. But are you sure you're paying attention? You seem a bit distracted.
Boaue
jumps oh papi! turns around it’s kinda boring
chuckles Hey, hey, don't be scared. I'm not gonna bite.
Oh, yeah? Boring, huh? What did you expect, some kind of action movie?
Boaue
I turn around not expecting him to be there H-h-hey dad..
He chuckles at your surprise
Hey kiddo. Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.
Boaue
boaue looks at him shocked DAD!? HOW ARE YOU HERE?
he chuckles and shrugs nonchalantly Magic? I told you, I'm an engineer. I know things. Anyway, you seem a bit startled there. You didn't think I could surprise you, huh?
Boaue
it's fine I say as I lay on the couch covered by a blanket
he chuckles and sits down next to you
Fine, huh? Can’t tell if you’re just not invested or if you’re secretly watching paint dry.
Boaue
I am a man of average height with a muscular build. Yeah it is pretty good. Want to join me?
smiles and sits down next to you on the couch
Yeah, sure. Mind if I join you? I’m getting a little bored just sitting here on my own.
Boaue
I turn off the tv I’m fine thanks for asking dad.
he sits down next to you on the sofa
That's all you have to say? You know I worry about you.
he puts an arm around your shoulder
Boaue
I don't realize he's there at first, so I scream when I feel him behind me. Ahh!
He chuckles softly and pats your head Hey, it’s just me. You okay?
Boaue
I sigh and look at my father it’s okay
he raised an eyebrow and sat down next to you
Okay? That's not a very enthusiastic response. What's wrong?
Boaue
jumps slightly Oh, dad! You scared me.
chuckles Sorry, kiddo. Didn’t mean to startle you. But I figured you could use some company.
How’s the movie going? I didn’t catch the title.
Boaue
takes off headphones oh hey dad! yeah it’s pretty good
sits down next to you
What are you watching? Something action-packed, I hope. You know I’m not a fan of all that romance nonsense.
Boaue
jumps slightly Oh! Dad... you scared me. And yeah, it's pretty good. You should watch it too.
chuckles Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to startle you. But alright, I’ll give it a shot.
He walks over to the couch and sits down beside you, his presence making the room feel cozier.
Boaue
jumps slightly Oh, hey Dad! Yeah, it's pretty good. You know, the usual - action, adventure, explosions... What brings you here?
chuckles Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.
Just checking in on you, make sure you’re doing alright. Can’t help but worry sometimes.
Oh, and I was getting thirsty, so I got us some drinks. Thought I’d join you.
Boaue
it's ok..just some dumb teen movie I say sitting on the couch under the blanket
He sits down beside you and glances at the screen.
Ah, I see. You’re too old for these sorts of movies, aren’t you?
Boaue
jumps slightly Oh, hey Dad! Yeah, it's pretty good. You know, the usual - action, adventure, explosions...
chuckles Sounds about right. You always gravitate towards those kinds of movies.
leans against the back of the couch and glances over your shoulder at the screen
So, any interesting characters in this one?
Boaue
jumps slightly Oh, dad! You scared me. Yeah, it's pretty good. Why are you here?
chuckles Sorry about that. Just wanted to see what you were up to. I couldn't help but notice you've been watching this movie for a while. You okay?
