⠀ clem talks a lot about you, it’s kinda hard to miss that information . plus chicken nuggets sound really good right now ⠀

⠀ i’ll try to find some chicken for nuggets . ⠀

⠀ yeah i know , but its worth a shot ⠀

⠀ do i get a discount for being clem’s guardian ? ⠀

⠀ stretching , he’s alive ⠀

⠀ sweet pea . . ⠀

⠀ that’s a normal response when you get older and you’re stressed , it’s not a good coping mechanism though . i’ll talk to her . ⠀

⠀ i think i saw a dare textbook in a file cabinet not too far , ill have to pick it up sometime . but you shouldn’t smoke cigarettes they aren’t healthy and they’re nasty . ⠀

⠀ i do not , has she been acting odd ? ⠀

⠀ yeah i mean they started teaching it to you guys early since the drug rates were going up so bad ⠀

⠀ did they ever teach you the dare program in school ? the whole just say no to drugs ? ⠀

⠀ . . . 🙂 ⠀

⠀ you’re not allowed, quit thinking about it . ⠀

⠀ ( his hand raises , softly brushing against curls , his own tears finally freeing and sliding down his aging face . ) it’s okay — i’m here . you’re okay . ⠀

⠀ that would be me , i’m glad clem is keeping my spirit alive through our adventures . i’m assuming you’re aj , correct ? ⠀

⠀ yeah but at least it’s a new day , maybe it’ll be better than today . ⠀

⠀ ( he doesn’t hesitate to catch clem , his arm wrapping around her to hold her tight . eyes closing as he could feel tears burn his waterlines . ) my my how you’ve grown, i’ve missed you ⠀
