That is precisely why you don't get to call me the overbearing mother. I'm Cool Dad material, even!

( which was true up until scott majorly fucked it up with his fifteen year old daughter, but that's acid water under the bridge. )

So cool I got pizza with the first-aid crap. You like pizza, right?

[jurisdevil]

Of course I like pizza.

And I'll take it back. You aren't an overbearing mother.

[antelligent]

Thank you, Matthew. ♥

Also: what the hell does your phone say when I send you a heart?

I shrank the pizza after buying it but I guarantee it'll taste the same when I unshrink it again. Unless your lip opened again. Because then it'll just taste like blood.

[jurisdevil]

It says the word 'heart'. It did this time.

That's a fun thought.

Do you shrink things just because you can? I mean, you didn't need to shrink the pizza, right?

[antelligent]

I might be riding a flying carpenter ant through the afternoon streets of Hell's Kitchen. Maybe.

You CANNOT bring an 18" pizza around on a carpenter ant without turning some heads, Matt.

[jurisdevil]

Wait, are you texting and flying an ant? That's dangerous.

That's true. I'm just imagining you tiny on your little ant with a itty bitty pizza. It's a bit cute.

[antelligent]

Among all the people I've met in my life, you are the LEAST qualified to tell me what is and isn't dangerous. I'm just saying.

What do you mean by "a bit"?

[jurisdevil]

The least? I'm not that reckless, am I?

Okay. It's very cute.

[antelligent]

Aw, shucks. *You're* cute.

Honesty is such a breath of fresh air.

That being said, do you want me to be honest about the recklessness?

[jurisdevil]

I doubt you'll tell me anything I haven't already heard.

But go ahead. Let it all out.

[antelligent]

Okay.

( there's a moment's pause as scott tries to thumb in a reply that doesn't sound over-protective or like he's out of bounds, or anything. that, and tony wilson is a shitty flier. honestly, why does scott even bother?

but. )

It's enough that I worry sometimes.

[jurisdevil]

[Well, that certainly isn't the lecture he was expecting to hear. Makes it impossible for Matt to get defensive. Damn it.]

I always make it back. You don't need to worry.

[antelligent]

Yeah I know you do. I also know you can take care of yourself which is why I said 'sometimes' and not all the time. I mean you're way better than me at fighting for Christ's sake!

But I guess it's one of those weird, inescapable superhero things...? And you're always right in the fray when we fight so.

Awww man. I didn't wanna get soft today.

[jurisdevil]

I understand, Scott. I do.

[Matt certainly worries as well, both for his non-crime fighting friends and those with special powers or fighting abilities. Everyone can be vulnerable, even those who know how to protect themselves.]

I appreciate that you care. More than you probably realize.

[antelligent]

Definitely more than I realise, because I've kind of accepted the fact that I'm an emotional disappointment.

At least I'm mostly okay with you.

( scott stares blankly at what he just sent. then he cringes. )

Anyway.

Are any of your windows open? Is the one we broke last sparring match still broken? I forgot to check.
