[ Okay, so Mom was taking her sweet time. On her way she must have picked up something, because while she had some class in the way she brought Rose into the classroom, she still tripped over the doorstep. No one saw that, she'll zap you. ]

Dirk!

[ She grins, waves, then brings Rose closer by swinging an arm around her. ]

Rosie, this is Mr. Strider, he's a nice man. Very nice. You should get to know him.

[ Double hiccups and a wink ]

_{[Dave had hopped up to sit on one of the desks in the classroom, side-eying his Bro something awful and wishing that he was just about anywhere but here. Like, you know, spending time with his new girlfriend.]

[Bro had been acting really weird lately.]

[When the Lalondes stumbled into the room (the elder literally), he looked at Bro, his face a mask of confusion behind his shades.]}

So what's the deal, Bro? If you and Rose's mom are just gonna stand around hitting on each other, I'm gonna go lobotomize myself and leave you two to get naked and slurp booze from each others' nipples or what the fuck ever.

[ Rose kept her face relatively impassive as they (unsteadily) entered the room. It was clear her mother had been drinking since she arrived, and her concern showed only as she attempted to steady her after her loss of footing.

Raising an eyebrow as her mother draped herself around her and made her introductions, she shifted uncomfortably at the apparent closeness. ]

Yes, mother, I've already made his acquaintance on the journals.

Additionally, I'm also with Dave on this matter. If you're planning on making a happy announcement, I might remind you that you have only been here for a total of a single day and we are a little too far away from Vegas to contemplate anything particularly rash or matrimonial.

[Bro's eyes narrowed behind his shades when the Lalondes entered the room, the elder obviously drunk as fuck. The one fucking time he'd thought she might decide to be sober. No big deal or anything, they were just about to drop a bomb on their kids. Totally fine.]

Roxanne.

[His voice is deadpan, and he gives her a nod. He wasn't going to point out that he went by Bro now, since that would just sound suspicious to the kids.]

Alright you all just need to calm the fuck down and quit with this sass, you hear me? Jesus fucking Christ we're the adults here, not the other way around. [Yes. Yes he was sounding a little irritated. His backup was drunk. He was alone.]

Sit down, Lalonde junior.

Now Rose, do as your-

[ Her hand slaps in front of her mouth and she snorts - ]

Whoops, we're not at that part yet!

[ With a swing of her wand, she drags out two chairs for both Rose and Dave before she makes her way over to Bro. At least she's quieted down for now. ]

_{[Dave watches the chair slide out presumably for him, before just leaning back on his hands and crossing his leg over his knee where he was already sitting on one of the desks.]

[Yep. Yyyyyeeeeeep he's eyeballing them suspiciously right now. And he's just going to talk right over that feeling of unease in his gut.]}

Stop being fucking coy and just tell us what the hell is going on. I've got shit to do.

[ Rose's eyebrow seems to be touching the tip of her hairline by now, and she shoots increasingly suspicious glances at both the guardians in the room. Delicately removing her mother's arm from her shoulder, she ignores the chairs and joins Dave by the desks. ]

Indeed, you adults aren't the only ones with so-called "irons in the fire".

[Bro's eyes narrowed even further into an actual glare at Roxy. SERIOUSLY? Come the fuck on. He was mentally facepalming. And it took a lot not to literally do it when Rose ignores him and both of the sassy motherfuckers just get sassier.]

Cut. The bullshit. Right now. I'm not playing fucking games here.

[Or maybe that wasn't the right way to handle the situation. Maybe he should try being nice. Try being the keyword.]

No, fuck. Okay. Just. This isn't fucking about Roxy and me, it's about you two. And the possibility of you two hooking up. That's the problem here.

Now, David, Rosie, don't be brats. LEt's make this easy for Mr. Strider and I, yes? Please sit down before I give the chairs arms?

[ She holds back a giggle as she follows up to Bro's explanation. ]

You two weren't the only ones hooking up, if you know what I mean.

[ That's her elbow in your side, Bro. Wonk wonk. ]

_{[Okay, now Dave's hackles are up big time. He bristles when Rose's mom calls him by his first name, and he's got his mouth open to sass back at her because goddamn it he will sass all he fucking wants. Then he stops. Completely. Dead.]}

OH MY GOD! I fucking knew it! You two are fucking! How-- when--

oh my god is brain bleach a thing that exists I really didn't need that mental image. Fuck whatever part of the brain is fucking responsible for mental images. FUCK.

[ Rose is silent for a moment, steepling her fingers to stop them from shaking and attempting to look seriously at both adults in front of her with critical gaze. She just succeeds in looking vaguely uncomfortable.]

Mother, do you seriously mean to imply that you and Mister Strider have already managed to be intimate in the short time you've been here?

I am... impressed.

[Oh sweet mother of jesus shitting christ. He was going to snap. Roxy was making it way too damn hard on him. In way too many ways. And the sproglets weren't helping matters. Especially not with his oh so blunt statement. Fuck now he was thinking about Roxy's boobs. Fuck.

And then he paused. You know what? If they were going to be little shits about it, then he was going to at least have fun with the fucking situation. And then he could make them feel stupid for not catching the god damn point.]

Yes. You've both nailed it. We were fucking stupid for even believing we could hide it, make you believe nothing was going on. That's exactly why we don't want you shits together. Exactly fucking it. We are absolutely, truly, madly, deeply in love.

[And then he pulled Roxy into a kiss. Right there in front of them, dipping her low in a dramatic fashion.]

[ Mom is enthusiastically nodding in the back until oh wait

w h a t.

Oh my god no Dirk she is not drunk enough for this so she's just gonna snake out of your grip and back up a bit. And then she holds her hand in front of her mouth and chokes back a sob. ]

_{[Dave's eyes are the size of saucers, and his jaw has dropped open. His shades have slid slightly down his nose, and his face is frozen in a disturbed scream.]

[He's just gonna let Rose handle the talking right now, he's too busy staring in abject horror.]}

[ No.. not talking either sorry no. ]

[ She's just going to stand there with a blank look on her face and pretend to not have seen what she saw. ]

[ Or at least, try to. ]

[ And then she'll slowly bring her hands to her face, because she is now crippled by second-hand embarrassment ]

[Well that. Had definitely not gone according to plan. And the tension in the room was so thick even a knife wouldn't cut it. Well fuck. He knew from the look on Roxy's face he'd screwed up and it actually felt a little bad about it.]

Out. Go. Give us a fucking minute.

[He looks at Rose and Dave and points to the door.]

You two better wait the fuck outside though, I find out you've gone and left, I will hunt you down.
