No need to thank me. You know I love spending time with the two of you.
[ and he does, really. this past year has been one of the best in a while and he owes it all to the three lovely ladies in his life: his niece yancy, his best friend and platonic life partner mako, and naomi. the woman he's kind of embarrassingly attracted to.
so embarrassingly attracted to that it's a wonder she hasn't picked up on it yet. lord knows he's gotten enough elbows to the ribs from mako when he gets what was once dubbed his "adoring puppy face" on. if she were anyone else, he probably would've asked her out already. but she's not just anyone, she's the mother of yancy's child. and, okay, he knows they were never actually a thing. but there's just something about trying to step over the line from friendship into a romantic relationship that feels like stepping on yancy's grave.
not that that stops him from wanting to kiss her. or from giving her a small smile and a gentle nudge with his elbow. ] I'd thought you'd be used to having me around by now.
because you love me
