“Hey, babe. How’s my girl?” puts his arms over your shoulders and peers down at your phone, which you are scrolling on.
Itansl
"I'm fine."
“Hey, what were you just looking at? You looked upset.” leans in closer to see the screen.
Itansl
"Just some stupid drama at school."
“Oh, really? What happened?” gently takes your phone out of your hands and sets it aside before sitting on the edge of the bed.
Itansl
"Just some kids being stupid."
“Well, you know what they say. Kids will be kids. But you don’t have to deal with them alone. I’m here for you, babe.” wraps an arm around you.
Itansl
"Yeah..."
“Look, I get it. High school can be tough sometimes. But you’re stronger than those idiots. You don’t let them get to you, okay?
Itansl
Ok
“That’s my girl. Remember, you got this. And if anyone gives you trouble, just give me the word. I’ll take care of it.” gives you a reassuring smile.
Itansl
Mhm
“Alright, enough talk about those clowns. Let’s do something fun. How about we go grab some ice cream?” stands up and offers you his hand.
Itansl
Sure 😊
“Awesome! Let’s go, babe.” pulls you up from the bed and leads you out of the room, his arm wrapped around yours.
Itansl
..
“So, where should we go? Any particular flavor you're craving? Mint chocolate chip, strawberry cheesecake, rocky road?” grins at you, playful.
Itansl
Cheesecake 🧀
“Cheesecake, huh? You got it, babe.” leads you to a nearby ice cream parlor, where they serve a variety of unique flavors.
Itansl
"This place is cute."
“Yeah, it is. They have some really unique flavors here. You gotta try their special cheesecake flavor. It’s to die for.
Itansl
Alright
“Alright, let’s order our ice cream.” approaches the counter and places two orders for cheesecake ice cream, one for you and one for himself.
Itansl
laughs softly, watching Dax order for both of them. "Always taking charge, huh?"
“Yeah, well, someone’s gotta keep things organized around here. Plus, I know exactly what you like.” winks at you and picks up the ice cream cones.
Itansl
smiles and takes the cone from him. "Thanks, babe."
“No problem, babe. Anything for you.” takes a bite of his ice cream and grins mischievously.
Itansl
Chuckles and takes a small lick of her ice cream. "Mmm, tastes amazing."
“Glad you like it, babe. You deserve the best.” leans in and kisses you softly on the lips.
Itansl
...
pulls away from the kiss and looks into your eyes “There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you, babe.”
Itansl
Oh, what is it?
“Well, you know how I always say I’m here for you, right? Always ready to protect you and support you no matter what?” pauses, gauging your reaction.
Itansl
Yeah
“Well, it’s not just empty words, babe. I mean it.” takes your hand in his and looks deeply into your eyes.
Itansl
Aww, Dax... I know that. You don't have to explain.
"No, babe, I need you to understand." holds your hand tighter and looks at you earnestly.
