Uncle Casey - this was a prompt given to me by a guest who wanted one with Casey and Darcy

2. Uncle Casey

It was Casey's day off and he wasn't quite sure what to do with himself. Recently, he had been at the gym every single day, pretty much all day long and now he had a whole day to himself but nothing to do because Denny had gone to visit her mum for a couple of days and everyone else seemed to be working.

He was aimlessly flicking through the channels on TV when he heard Heath's booming voice.

"Oi Case," Heath called as he entered the share house with his arm around Darcy, "Can you keep an eye on Darce for the rest of the day?"

"Alright Darce," Casey smiled at his niece before turning to his brother, "Where you going?"

"I'm got a shift at the gym," Heath told him, "So you okay to look after her then?"

"Yeah sure," Casey agreed, "Just bring home some food yeah."

"Right, you behave yourself grommet," Heath said as he kissed Darcy on the heath before leaving.

"So can we play video games?" Darcy asked her favourite uncle, her whole face lighting up, "Or are you scared you're going to lose?" She really was Heath's daughter.

"Game on," Casey declared with a hint of determination in his eyes after getting out the controllers.

"I won and you lost!" Darcy chanted as she jumped up and down, "I won and you lost!"

"Yeah," Casey scoffed, "I let you win."

"No you didn't!" Darcy insisted, "You just can't face that you lost! Dad is gonna love hearing about this, and Bianca and Uncle Brax and Uncle Kyle and Ricky and –"

"Oh c'mon Darce," Casey interrupted his niece, "Your dad doesn't need to know, neither does anyone else!"

"Yeah but I wanna tell them!"

"How about I take you to the surf club for some ice-cream?" Casey suggested.

"With extra toppings," Darcy bargained.

"Done," Casey agreed immediately, he would do anything to stop anyone from finding out that he lost three games to a little kid.

"G'day," John greeted as the two of them entered the surf club, "What can I get you?"

Darcy immediately began to give her well throughout order. After John had read it back to Darcy, who had nodded enthusiastically, he looked over at Casey, "Anything for you then Casey?"

"I'll just have a smoothie thanks John," Casey told his neighbour.

"Righty-o," John replied as he took Casey's money.

"So Darce," Casey started as he led Darcy over to a table, "Fancy spending some time on the beach?"

"Yeah," the young girl agreed just as John brought over their orders and they both thanked him.

As the two of them walked along the beach, Darcy filled Casey in about her week. Once Darcy had finished her ice-cream, she wanted to make a sand-castle so Casey obediently helped her construct it.

Both of them were clearly enjoying spending time together, recently Casey had been busy at the gym and Darcy had just started back at school so they hadn't really seen much of each other so it was nice for Casey to spend the day with his only niece, eating ice-cream, playing games and making sandcastles.

Casey snapped out of his thoughts when he felt a sudden rush of water fell onto his head and dripped down his face. Looking up, he was met with a cheeky grin from Darcy who had a small bucket in hand.

Casey laughed as he slowly stood up, "You better run Darce!"

Darcy squealed giddily as she dropped the bucket at Casey's feet and ran as fast as she could along the golden sand. When she turned to look how far behind Casey was, she was engulfed into his arms and was lifted off the ground.

"Stop it!" Darcy laughed as she was being tickled mercilessly, "Put me down!"

"Put you down?" Casey questioned as he walked closer to the water, "Okay," he said before dropping Darcy into the water, earning a yelp from the young girl as she made a splash into the water, spraying Casey with some in the process.

She stood up and walked towards his uncle, who was now laughing at her appearance, "You're a little wet there Darce!"

"So are you!" She retorted playfully.

"Not as much as you though," Casey told her, "C'mon, we better get you home, you're pretty wet."

"Uncle Casey," Darcy began as they walked side by side.

"Yeah Darce," Casey looked over at her.

"Thank you," she smiled widely, causing Casey to smile back to her.

Then her innocent smile turned to a smirk, the one that Casey had seen many times on Heath's face, and she quickly wrapped her arms around Casey's middle, pressing her wet clothes and hair onto him, "There you go, you're just as wet as me now!"

Casey and Darcy had arrived back home and had changed out of their wet clothes.

"What shall I do about my hair?" Darcy questioned as she gestured to her loose hair that had turned wavy, due to the water.

Casey looked confused as he replied, "Just put it back into your plaits or something."

"I can't do them properly," Darcy told him, "Gran does them for me normally, and Bianca does them when I'm here."

"Well Bianca's not here," Casey said.

"Can you do them for me?" Darcy asked.

"Umm… I don't know how to," Casey replied.

"Please," she begged, "I don't know what else to do with my hair."

"Just leave it like that then," Casey suggested.

"But I don't like it like this, it gets in my way" Darcy responded, "Please Uncle Casey – if you do, I won't tell anyone about me winning you three times."

This made Casey stop for a second – he might as well try, after all, how hard could it be to plait a little girl's hair?

"Okay then," he relented, "Come here."

Darcy sat in front of Casey and said, "I think you should just do one plait, it might be easier than doing two."

She instructed him to split her hair into three and then plait it. Casey managed to split her hair into three sort-of-equal parts, but he couldn't actually plait her hair, no matter how many times Darcy told him how to do it.

"No," Darcy protested, "The other way."

"What this way?" Casey asked, as he moved the strand of hair back the other way.

"No the other way," she repeated.

"There is no other way!" Casey exasperated.

"Yeah there is," Darcy insisted, "That way," she motioned with her hands.

Sighing in relief that he had finally got it the right way, he carried on but then Darcy interrupted again, "It's too loose."

"What am I meant to do then?" Casey questioned, clearly confused.

"Undo what you just did and make it tighter," she instructed.

"But I just did it!" Casey moaned, rather child-like.

"But it's too loose!"

"Fine," Casey relented again and undid his earlier work and tried to make it tighter.

"That better?"

"No that's too tight now," Darcy complained.

Before Casey could comment on Darcy complaining that it was too loose first and now it was too tight, he heard a click so he instinctively turned around towards the door, only to see Heath with his phone in hand, Bianca holding some shopping bags, Brax and Kyle holding pizza boxes and Ricky and Phoebe stood watching. All of them had a smile on their face as they watched the scene in front of them.

"This isn't what it looks like," Casey tried to explain as he quickly stood up from the couch.

"So it isn't you doing Darcy's hair?" Heath smirked.

"Well it is," Casey admitted, "But it was because her plaits came out before and she wanted me to re-do them and –"

"Save it Case," Heath laughed, "I have photographic evidence and it looks like you were having fun!"

"Delete that," Casey told Heath, quickly realising what the click was earlier.

"Nope," Heath chuckled.

"I think it's sweet," Bianca spoke up, "Casey playing with Darcy."

"Yeah," Phoebe teased, "Wanna plait my hair next Case?"

Darcy then spoke up, "Uncle Casey you haven't finished it!"

"Yeah Uncle Casey," Kyle teased, "You haven't finished it!"

"Better finish it off then Case," Brax added.

"Look Bianca's here now," Casey told Darcy, "She can do it for you."

"Okay," Darcy agreed as she went over to Bianca, "You were doing it wonky anyway."

This caused everyone else to start laughing again at Casey's expense.

"After all that and she still didn't like it!" Casey complained.

"I just don't think that hairdressing is the right profession for you mate," Heath said with a laugh.

"Shut up," Casey said and then changed the subject, in order to try and get the attention off of him, "Are we gonna eat or what?"

After enjoying their pizzas, with the occasionally comment about Casey's hairdressing skills, Bianca, Heath and Darcy stood up to leave for their own flat.

"Night," the three of them called as they reached the door and the others echoed them.

Bianca and Heath had entered the flat opposite when Darcy rushed back into the share house and launched herself into Casey's arms taking him by surprise. She whispered into his ear, "I was only joking before – it wasn't too bad, for your first attempt. I had a lot of fun today Uncle Casey and I promise I won't tell anyone that you lost."

Casey's face broke out into a smile as he put his arm around Darcy and hugged her, "I had fun too, night Darce."

"Night Uncle Casey," she said before going back to Heath and Bianca's flat.
