I'm pretty sure I'm his favorite uncle, based on how happy he is to see me every time we hang out, so I'm going to agree with you.
Alright. I'll put it on the list.
[ Matt feels like he can handle a pretty decent amount of spice, but she's right, he is a White Dude from the country, so she may disagree with him. We'll see what the Chinese restaurant employees think. ]
[ He's not terribly worried about Daisy deciding to like his brothers more than him; for one thing, she doesn't know them, and for another, they're all married. Happily married. He's married too, but...it's complicated.
He stares at his phone for a minute, trying to parse that sentence. ]
Daisy, did you take a tray of brownies from an open house? Like, just the brownies or the tray they were baked in too?
[ there aren't a whole lot of special occasions in the spooky season, professor. halloween doesn't count, that's just an excuse to dress up slutty and get drunk in college. ]
I was thinking of pulling one out the next time I'm trying to seduce you in front of thirty 18 year olds.
[ Yeah, he's going to be a Responsible Adult and stay in on Halloween so he can hand out candy to his neighbor's kids. She can go have fun being young and hot in a silly costume. ]
[ she almost sends something terrible back, but opts instead just to focus on cleaning up as best she can, straightening her room until it's something close to livable before he gets there with whatever snacks he's decided on. ]
i'm gonna hop in the shower. don't get lost in the snack aisles.

what else are you getting?
[ he did say list. he invited this question. ]
no subject
For snacks?
[ Currently his list is egg drop soup, spicy noodles, and honey nut cheerios. ]
I'm trying to think of things that aren't too messy but can still be eaten one-handed.
So far it's mostly chips.
no subject
[ chips are good, though. she likes chips. ]
i have popcorn. and a tray of brownies from one of the units for sale downstairs.
[ daisy, you aren't supposed to go to open houses just to steal their snacks... ]
no subject

Like, just the brownies or the tray they were baked in too?
no subject
[ they're also not into her. ]
i didn't take the baking tray!
[ she doesn't know how to bake. ]
they were on a plastic platter from the dollar store. it still had the price tag on it.
no subject
[ They're also a lot closer to her age, especially John, who's only twenty-five.
He's trying not to think about the fact that he's seeing someone who's younger than his youngest brother. That's a little weird, right? ]
Alright. I was a little concerned there for a minute.
So you got unattended brownies and a dollar store platter. Good move.
no subject
[ still probably the hottest thing she can think of by a solid mile. ]
why would i steal a baking tray? i don't know how to bake.
no subject
...Which isn't much of a defense. But it is on the syllabus!
[ He can read her something a lot more scandalous, later, if she enjoys it so much. ]
I don't think it's too hard, you just follow the recipe printed on the box, right?
no subject
[ yes, please ]
and are you offering to make me brownies?
because i might be persuaded to repay you very enthusiastically if you are.
no subject
[ He totally did. ]
Sure, except that you just told me you don't have a baking tray.
So it'll be kind of difficult.
no subject
i'm not complaining, btw. it was hot.
[ gently... fans his ego... ]
i can always steal the tray next time.
no subject
[ Keep going, he definitely likes it more than he probably should. ]
They tend to sell them at stores too, you know.
You don't have to wait for another open house.
no subject
[ that's not a no. ]
where's the fun in that? making a brownie tray disappear and then somehow reappear a few days later is like being a sneaky, baked goods making ghost.
no subject
[ He'll have to pick a good one, now that he's talked it up so much. This might be difficult. ]
Well, it is the spooky season.
no subject
like what?
[ there aren't a whole lot of special occasions in the spooky season, professor. halloween doesn't count, that's just an excuse to dress up slutty and get drunk in college. ]
no subject
[ Yeah, he's going to be a Responsible Adult and stay in on Halloween so he can hand out candy to his neighbor's kids. She can go have fun being young and hot in a silly costume. ]
no subject
[ she's teasing. that's probably not on the syllabus, anyway. ]
no subject
[ He finishes teaching at two-fifty. Ten minutes is plenty of time to get back to his office and press her back against the door again. ]
no subject
[ who needs an audience, anyway? ]
no subject
[ An audience would be awkward, considering what he wants to do to her. ]
no subject
i'm gonna hop in the shower.
don't get lost in the snack aisles.
