Prompt: "So what if my arm is broken I'm still doing it"
Katrina stared at Dennis then turned to Charlie as if to say do something to which the curly haired teen laughed. Loudly. Katrina decided that it was a lost cause to try to get the tall red head to do something so she turned back to Dennis in all his neon green cast glory.
"Dennis" Katrina began slowly like she was soothing a scared animal, which she might as well have been doing. "You can't do that"
"I can too!" Dennis retorted sticking his tongue out childishly sending Charlie into another laughing fit. Katrina resisted the urge to punch the bridge of her nose like she had seen her father do so, so long ago.
"You cannot dive off the bridge naked Dennis" Katrina stressed the last line deeply and Dennis gave her the same look he gave the doctor when she had told him that jumping off the roof and into a kiddie pool was dangerously stupid.
"I can too dive off the bridge naked Katrina" he replied copying her sentence and Katrina looked towards the Heavens sending a silent plea of why me dear Gods what did I do to deserve this? before she turned back to look at Dennis.
"Dennis, my dear Dennis" Katrina stated giving him the warm smile usually reserved for the children at the daycare. "Your arm is broken, broken neatly in half. Do you remember that hm?"
"So what if my arm is broken I'm still doing it" Dennis stubbornly replied and Katrina swore she heard something snap in her.
"Dennis if you do this I will-" Katrina began lowly getting ready to deliver a roasting worthy of being a Viking's funeral pyre when Charlie put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey hey" Charlie cut her roasting off getting in between the two. "Dennis knows what he's doing Kat if he wants to dive off the bridge with a broken arm let him"
"Charlie you can't be serious" Katrina dead panned turning to the taller red head. "If he jumps in and breaks his neck we get arrested for not stopping what the police will rule as suicide. We can go to prison for this"
Charlie paused staring off the bridge. "In that case lets go get some grub"
"No way! I wanna jump!" Dennis argued and this time Charlie turned towards him menacingly.
"I don't want to go to prison Dennis. Do you know how bad the prison food tastes?" Charlie asked lowly making Dennis shake his head.
"It's worse than your own cooking" Katrina supplied helpfully, making a mental note to ask Charlie why they knew what prison food tasted like.
"I want to do this though" Dennis whined although he looked pale at the thought of something being worse than his radioactive cooking. Charlie looked ready to murder Dennis before they simply lifted him up and tucked him under their arm much like someone would carry a football.
"I want some of Mamma's cooking" they stated conversationally to Katrina like they didn't have a struggling man under their arm.
"Charlie! Lemme go!" Dennis grunted wriggling as much as Charlie's arm would allow. "Injured man here hello?!"
"Are you coming Kat?" Charlie questioned curiously with a tilt of their head and Katrina grinned grabbing a hold of Charlie's free hand.
"Yeah let's go get some food" Katrina replied leading Charlie by the hand both of them ignoring Dennis.
"Guy, I'm serious please let me down my arm is staring to hurt" Dennis whined voice hitching with his pain and Charlie looked down at him before releasing Katrina's hand.
"I'd rather not have to pay for your hospital bill again..." they muttered before setting Dennis down and crouching before him. "Hop on dude"
Dennis stared at Charlie's back for a moment. "Broken arm ring a bell? I can't hop on" he stated motioning to his neon green cast and Katrina snorted.
What happened to so what if my arm is broken I'm still doing it?" she asked and Dennis made a face at her before approaching Charlie's back like one would approach a deadly snake. Which taking into account his one armed state wasn't exactly wrong.
"I'm gonna die" Dennis moaned as he carefully got onto Charlie's back using his only good arm to hold on as Charlie's hands grabbed onto his thighs.
"Now let's go Mamma said it was spaghetti today" Charlie ordered taking off ignoring how Dennis shrieked into their ear and Katrina sighed jogging after them.
Honestly, if only she had never met them.
