“Nnxt!”.
Tiny Diamond paused mid eating his ice cream his gaze going to his dad, who blinked in surprise the rest of the Snack Pack pausing their conversation.
“Guy?”. Poppy’s tone worried. “You ok?. You’ve been sneezing all day”.
“I’m fine I’m fine”. Guy waved off his normal autotuned tone coming off slightly nasely. “Must be something..”. Guy Diamond pinched the bridge of his nose body jerking with a quiet stifled Nnxt!.
“Maybe you’re sick”. Tiny Diamond piped up.
“I do not get sick”. Guy Diamond crossed his arms glaring at his son. Never had never..”. Guy Diamond broke off with a harsh non stifled sneeze.
“Apparently you do”. Tiny commented as Guy sniffled rubbing his nose. “I know you wanted to go to the new amusement park the Bergin’s made. “But maybe you should go home. It won’t be going anywhere. Besides what’s the fun if your sick?”.
“Tiny’s right”. Poppy placed a hand on her friend’s shoulder who slumped in disappointment. “We can go when you’re better. Right now, I think the best thing for you to do is get some rest”.
“Maybe you’re right”. Guy’s smile tired. “I have been feeling off the last couple days. Poppy, could you keep an eye on Tiny while you’re”.
“What are you talking about Daddy. I’ll be coming home to take care of you of course.
“No no no”. Guy Diamond waved his hands franticly. “I couldn’t possibly ask you to do that. You’ve been talking about this for days”.
“You’re not asking me. I am telling you”. Tiny Diamond hoped onto the table next to his dad. “What fun would it be if I went and you’re sick. The point of us going is to go together. Sides”. Tiny’s Diamond’s eye softened. “I’m not just going to leave you to fend for yourself. What kind of son would I be?”.
“Awe!”. Poppy and the Snack Pack gushed as Guy Diamond’s featured wavered.
“Are…you”.
“I’m coming home with you! And that’s that”. Tiny Diamond crossed his arms glaring at his Daddy.
“Well if that’s what you really want”. Vulnerability lacing Guy Diamond’s features. Picking up his son he turned to the Snack Pack. “Raincheck for a different day?”.
“Of course, go get some sleep, Tiny make sure he does”.
“You can count on me Aunt Poppy!”.
