~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. As the nephews departed in a flurry of hurried footsteps, and with Dash’s light warning trailing after them, Rafael was left grinning in their wake. “They’re a great pair,’’ he mused after a while. And he loved them with all his heart. Who would have thought he, Rafael Lucas Melo-Dreamer would love a kid as much as he did, much less two of them?
His smile grew. “Am I? I always figured I was awkward with kids. Like… I overthink about doing and saying the right things when they’re around. It happens a lot at work… sometimes with your students. It happened a lot at first with Dev and Di.” Rafa wasn’t trying to be modest; he was being truthful. He had just tried his best around all the tiny and young humans because they were important to Dash. A wicked grin suddenly formed as the Olive Juice mention. Rafa loved that this was just something between the two of them. A tender kiss was returned to Dash though he forced himself not to drag it on, knowing that things usually got heated between them quickly and there were the nephews close by. “I love you just as much but I think your memory’s failing. It’s you who agreed to marry me.” Grinning cheekily, Rafa prodded the other man playfully in that sturdy chest. "Though I can't say I blame you for saying yes." |
