A/N: Alright, here's another one! Shout out to Johanna-002 who indulges my bratty ways. She stays up late and lets me talk myself into delirium and make these insane things happen. ; )
XOXOXO
N: Where we gonna live after we get outta here?
R: We?
N: What you thought you were gonna get rid of me? You act like I'm an adult or something.
R: Nicky… you are an adult.
N: Eegh, maybe. But an adult who should not be left unsupervised. I need an adultier adult.
R: And that's me, huh? What makes you think I want to keep you?
N: *gets serious and vulnerable looking* Because you're the only one that loves me.
R: *caught off guard, tries to get back to teasing* I suppose I could take you in. I was thinking about adopting a puppy.
N: You're comparing me to some mangy dog?
R: Maybe just a little. You don't pee on the floor, right? You won't hump my leg or eat my shoes?
N: I hate you.
R: No you don't.
N: I'm moving out.
R: You can't do that. I already adopted you. Puppies get forever homes.
N: *quietly* Really?
R: *nods seriously & kisses the side of her head* Mmhmm.
N: *dopey grin* So... where we gonna live after we get outta here?
R: Where would you like to live?
N: With you - only thing that matters.
R: Sweet girl. How about Jersey?
N: Fuck no.
R: You said anywhere.
N: Not there.
...silence...
N: Can we still get a dog?
R: I have you-I don't need another pet.
N: *whines* I'm not a pet! I'm a person!
R: You're a pest! *sighs* Maybe.
N: *grins* That means yes!
R: Oh it does, does it?
N: Mmhmm. You can't say no to me.
R: *mock sigh* Well, I guess I'm going to have two wild creatures to take care of. *playing gently with Nicky's hair*
N: Love you too ma.
R: *messes with her hair but is no longer playing with it*
N: What the fuck are you doing?
R: Making sure you don't have fleas.
