"I love you more than the size of the galaxy." Eleanor chuckled.
"I love you more than what the galaxy is expanding into." Septhis said.
"I love you more than… Poopsy." Eleanor chuckled.
"Ah you got me there." Septhis chuckled.
"No I don't." Eleanor rolled her eyes. "I love you more than Plushtrap. No, wait, more than Plushtrap and Poopsy combined."
Before she could continue though Poopsy spotted them and started barking, making her yelp and growl in annoyance. Septhis laughed at her yelp and snuggled a bit. "I'm glad you love me that much Ella." Septhis said happily. Eleanor got an annoyed look as Poopsy kept barking.
"Poopsy. It's never going to happen." Eleanor grumbled. Septhis looked over at Poopsy and raised a finger to his mouth. Poopsy immediately fell silent, much to Eleanor's growing annoyance.
"You know what. Change of plans. Poopsy you're coming with me. I don't trust you to stay with him." Eleanor grumbled.
"What's she gonna do?" Septhis chuckled.
"Steal you away from me." Eleanor grumbled. "Plus she listens to you too much. She's my dog, she should know to listen to me."
"She's not going to steal me from you Ella." Septhis said with a smile.
"Yeah she will! She's just waiting for it. You can see it in her eyes." Eleanor growled, glaring at Poopsy.
"She's a dog. You're a human. I'm a human. I'm going to be with a human." Septhis chuckled.
"She might have some plot to make you into some old man with a dog." Eleanor grumbled.
"I want to be an old man with a beautiful old lady. Preferably you." Septhis sighed with a smile.
"I'm not going to be a beautiful old lady, kiss ass. There's no such thing." Eleanor grumbled. "And like i'm actually going to let myself become old and wrinkly."
"Like I said beautiful." Septhis laughed.
"There's no such thing as a beautiful old lady. Annette doesn't count cause she's still in the middle." Eleanor grumbled.
"You'd still be beautiful too me." Septhis said lovingly.
"That's cause you're easily impressed. And don't know much about women." Eleanor grumbled. "The most you know is the finished product. Not the process a woman has to go through to be pretty. Besides i'm not that pretty. Not as much as your ass kissing makes me out to be."
"You're beautiful to me isn't that what counts." Septhis said.
"Even if i'm grumpy and I whine and moan at you? You could do better you realize. You could get someone more agreeable." Eleanor mumbled.
"I like it. It's kinda cute. Plus you don't let me walk all over you in which I like." Septhis said. "And plus I don't want better. I have what's perfect to me right here."
"Ass kisser. You can stop making me blush. What do you want." Eleanor grumbled, her face red.
"I want you." Septhis said with a smiled.
"You have me. Guys are only nice if they want something. Now what do you want." Eleanor grumbled.
"Not all guys." Septhis pouted.
"Oh really. And how many times have you kissed up to me to convince me to let you get something or get something for you." Eleanor chuckled. "I recall a certain toaster incident at the store where you wanted a purple toaster and went and kissed me in front of the entire store for it. Or when we were out of bread and you were nearly suicidal till I finally bought a loaf home."
"Well sometimes but not all the time. Maybe I just feel lovey." Septhis pouted.
"Or the time I tried to teach you about makeup and I had to bribe you with toast." Eleanor smirked.
"I can't help that dad raised me on toast." Septhis huffed.
"Raised? More like raised an addict. And people say drugs are bad, then they see our bread bill." Eleanor chuckled.
"It's good I can't help that. It was dad's fault." Septhis said.
"It's his fault you're depressed without toast. I need to have a word with your dad. He's created a monster." Eleanor grumbled.
"You call me addicted. You should have seen it one time when we ran out of bread. Uncle Scott saved us that day." Septhis chuckled.
"Oh? And tell me about this salvation. I don't believe i've heard this one." Eleanor chuckled.
"Well I was working on my schoolwork like normal when all of a sudden I heard the most terrified scream i've ever heard in my life coming from the kitchin. So I rushed to the kitchen and dad was just screaming his head off and flailing about. I mean this is strange coming from my dad who you could literally throw a knife at and he would still be smiling. And hell he was screaming more than he did around needles. It was crazy. I asked what was wrong and then in the most terrified no horrified voice my father said that we were out of bread." Septhis said. "And after that we were both flipping out in which made Gilbert come down stairs and he was like what is going on? And when we told him he started flipping out as well so it was the three of us screaming and running around the kitchen it was hectic." Eleanor raised an eyebrow in disbelief.
"Compared to your screaming?" Eleanor said.
"Yeah dad was louder than both me and Gil when it came to terrified screaming. I mean the neighbors came over after Uncle Scott and asked what was wrong." Septhis laughed "But while we were screaming in fear running around the kitchen like the maniacs that we were. Dad I guess snapped out of fear and decide it would be fine if we all went and killed someone for some bread. At the time we were panicked so we agreed. But then Gil was like but what if they don't have bread? And so then came to killing ourselves and all this and before we could do anything there was the sound of the front door opening. And Uncle Scott walked in with a shopping bag." Eleanor burst into laughing at the story, her laughter ringing through the house like music.
"I swear you could hear the anticipation of what he had bought. Dad had asked Uncle Scott what he brought and when Uncle Scott said that he had gotten some bread seeing that we were out I swear there was angelic music and we all just kinda group hugged Uncle Scott in joy." Septhis laughed. "Uncle Scott was so confused at the time."
"Ha it's nothing compared to the time Annette ran out of sugar. I swear someone was gonna be a ghost had Annette not dashed next door and demanded sugar and said that their lives depended on it." Eleanor chuckled.
"Dad was close to doing that and he might have not demanded it he might have just took. Literally Uncle Scott saved our lives and many others by getting Bread." Septhis laughed.
"I threatened to set a nursing home on fire if I didn't get sugar." Eleanor chuckled.
"Dad threatened to kill the entire town make some toast and leave one time when he couldn't find the bread. Gil flipped over lot's of things one time when he thought the last piece of bread was eaten." Septhis laughed
"Seriously, it's just bread. It's wheat and some water and some dough crap thrown together." Eleanor chuckled.
"Sugar is just a sweet combination of elements. What's the point? It's good and we're addicted we can't help it." Septhis chuckled.
"But it's bread. The blandest thing you could have!" Eleanor said.
"It bread! You can add anything to it! Like butter, jam, jelly, peanut butter, spices, all sorts of things! It's amazing!" Septhis said happily.
"Yeah but it's just bread." Eleanor rolled her eyes.
"You can make french toast. With some syrup and powdered sugar. And a drizzle of chocolate.." Septhis said with a happy smile.
"Let's just call it a draw there." Eleanor chuckled, running her hands over Septhis's sides. "I love you you know."
"I love you too Ella." Septhis said happily.
"Kiss ass." Eleanor chuckled.
"I might be. But i'm you kiss ass." Septhis chuckled.
"Fair enough." Eleanor chuckled, leaning in for a kiss.
Septhis smiled happily. Instead of kissing him though she slipped out of his arms and walked off, a big grin on her face as she went to the front door. Septhis pouted as she slipped out of his arms.
"Maybe next time buddy!" Eleanor laughed as she walked to the front door and stepped out. Septhis sighed but smiled. "At least I was able to fix our relationship." Septhis said softly.
"Possibly! Just don't get any hair on the sofa and you'll still have succeeded." Eleanor called, chuckling before the door finally closed behind her and Poopsy ran to the front door after her, barking at the closed door. Septhis chuckled and stretched.
"I guess it's you and me Poopsy at least for a while. Till Ella can figure things out." Septhis chuckled. Poopsy ran up to him instead, whining. Septhis squatted down and patted her on the head. "It'll be alright girl. I'm sure she'll come back home." Septhis said with a gentle smile. Poopsy ran up to the door and barked looking back at him, as if saying 'go after her!'.
Septhis sighed. "I know. I know. You miss her here already too. But I have to give her some room Poopsy." Septhis said. Poopsy whined, making a depressed walk back to him.
"It'll be alright. I'm still here aren't I. Plus knowing Ella she'll figure out a way around this little problem and be back home in no time." Septhis said. Poopsy sighed, leaning against his leg and partially using him as relief for her joints. Septhis smiled and petted Poopsy gently as he looked at the wall clock. He still had a few hours till his work, thankfully as Poopsy gave a light sneeze. Septhis looked at Poopsy and smiled a bit. "Bless you." Septhis said ruffling Poopsy fur a bit before returning to a gentle pet.
Poopsy gave a grunt like 'yeah, yeah whatever'.
"You comfortable here girl?" Septhis asked. Poopsy gave a snort of approval. Septhis rolled his eyes and sighed. "Well i'm going to go back to my room." Septhis said starting to move towards the stairs. Poopsy grumbled at her spot moving and ran after him, getting ahead of him on the stairs. Septhis chuckled as he started to walk up the stairs to the second floor of the large house. Poopsy gave him a bark like 'hurry up!'.
"I'm coming." Septhis chuckled a bit as he then shivered remembering the dream of his little self with Plushtrap. "Wonder why Plush is popping up a lot." Septhis muttered getting an eerie feeling just from Plushtrap's name. Poopsy turned to her basket on the stairwell, pulling out Plushtrap who she had taken as a prize and apparently seemed determined to guard him with her life. Septhis stopped before going into the master bedroom looking over at Poopsy and Plushtrap.
'Maybe because you did something wrong. Or something is coming that he tried to warn you about.' The voice of his younger self from the dream echoed in his head as he looked at Plushtrap. Poopsy had Plushtrap by his ears, but was gently carrying the rabbit rather than ripping him up like all her other toys. Septhis gulped a bit as he took a deep breath. "Hey poopsy can I see Plush for a bit?" Septhis asked. Poopsy froze, before holding Plushtrap in a defensive position.
"Please Poopsy I promise i'll give him back. But he was mine for the longest time you know." Septhis sighed. Poopsy grumbled before walking over and placing Plushtrap at his feet.
"Thank you Poopsy he does mean a lot to me you know." Septhis said picking Plush up and patting Poopsy's head calmly. Poopsy barely noticed the pat, her eyes focused on Plushtrap and her master.
'I don't know. But you know Plush. He always knew if something bad was going to happen and try to lure us away.' little dream him's voice echoed in his head again as he looked at Plushtrap. Plushtrap was as immobile as he'd always been these past few years, not even making any sign of any sort of life in him. Septhis sighed sadly as he opened the door to his bedroom and walked inside with Plushtrap in hand. Poopsy followed closely, prodding Plushtrap to make him move. Septhis set Plushtrap on the desk that was set along the window of the bedroom and sat down in the chair.
