“if it was your ex and not mine? and this whole thing was happening to you?” he asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked at her, trying to stay calm. “i’d be angry. i’d be worried, but i’m being ( honest ) * with you, lennon, and if you told me the dad wasn’t in the picture, +

“i’m sorry.” he mumbled before letting out a soft sigh, his head resting against the window and looking down at his lap as he tried not to let the awkwardness bother him. but he really did hate lennon being upset with him.

“that doesn’t exactly sound comfortable?” he pointed out with a frown on his face, shaking his head as he looked at her before looking out the window as she drove to their house.

“okay.” he nodded as he climbed into the car, watching her a little with his head tilted slightly as she tried to get comfortable. “are you sure you don’t want me to drive?” he asked.

he followed her out of the cafe, his eyebrows furrowing as he looked at her when she spoke. “home, obviously. unless you want me to go somewhere else for the night?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.

he waited patiently for her to return, finishing his drink and nodding. “of course. let’s go.” he said softly as he stood up and took his keys out of his pocket to hand them to her. “you good to drive?” he asked. “i haven’t had alcohol, so.”

he knew what she was trying to get at, and that alone made him clench his jaw in frustration as he watched her walk away. he sat back down and ran his fingers through his short hair in frustration, letting out a sigh.

“she probably didn’t even mean to! she was probably just asking and didn’t even mean to make you second guess me!” he huffed as he watched her, his eyebrows furrowing before he quickly stood up. “i’m defensive because i care about her, len. i’ve seen her at her worst and i +

“okay and i literally just told you i didn’t even ( know ) * josie when we were fourteen?” he huffed, frowning a little as he looked at her. “you ( do ) * know, lennon. you know we met in college and dated for 8 years. we broke up just before she went to med school. then a few +

he frowned when he noticed her looking up at the ceiling, shuffling over to her so he could try and comfort her. “no. i don’t think it’s your firefighter if that’s what you’re trying to get at. they knew each other in college. not when they were fourteen.” he explained.

he huffed as soon as he finished snapping at her, realising that he probably shouldn’t have. “the numbers don’t exactly add up, lennon!” he argued. “elodie is thirteen. i was fourteen when elodie was born— i didn’t even ( know ) * josie when i was fourteen. we were in college +

“it’s whatever.” he rolled his eyes before sliding down the wall he was leaning against so he could sit down as well. “it’s clearly coming from somewhere!” he argued as he looked at her with a frown as he became concerned for his sister. “yeah?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.

“then stick with that!” he snapped back, frowning a little as he looked at her. “because i didn’t exactly think that people would think she was mine since she’s thirteen and i didn’t even know josie thirteen years ago.” he huffed.

“oh ( please ) *, i’m not that stupid. you’d hit me if i called you fat.” he pointed out as he looked at her with a raised eyebrow, immediately frowning when she explained what was wrong. “what the heck? i told you i wasn’t. i ( promise ) * you, i was telling the truth.”

“a little more snappy than normal.” he pointed out with a raised eyebrow as he looked at her, leaning back in his seat with his arms over his chest. “yeah— no shit. but what’s gone on to make you slightly more moody than normal?” he asked.

“okay— why are you so snappy today? have i done something to upset you?” he asked with a raised eyebrow, though he really couldn’t figure out what he could have done to upset her. he definitely knew something was wrong though.

“okay, where is this all coming from? because you ( clearly ) * didn’t listen to a thing i said just now. he loves you, lennon. like, completely in love with you. it doesn’t take a genius to know that.” he huffed as he rolled his eyes, taking a sip of his coffee. “do you +
