Angelica nodded, beaming lightly “That I can understand. But hope in magic horses doesn’t come in that category? If you are gonna fool the kid into thinking Santa, the Tooth Fairy and magic fountains are a thing, you could as well give her some blissful years and let her believe in unicorns. I am more impartial to Pegasus, but she is far too young to get her into Greek Mythology” she teased back before tearing her eyes from the man to the girl, shaking her head lightly “How dare you believe I could ever betray her confidence?” she murmured back with a shrug “I simply need to find a way to make her wish come true on my own. But I am certain you know what she wished for” her last set of words were barely audible for the two of them, giving him a knowing and apologetic look.

“You can believe with her, if you want. Although, I never really let her believe in the tooth fairy myself. But a part of that is because she caught me putting the money under her pillow once, she was a really light sleeper. But uh, the big man in red is another story. It’s different.” He waved it off. “Although, I suppose flying reindeer aren’t any better than horses with horns.” He listened to her, looking over at her with a raised brow before his expression fell. Of course he knew. “Yeah, not sure how you’re gonna make that come true though Angie. I wish you the best of luck.”

Claire smiled softly as she looked over Aaron, waiting for him to end the call before she would say something. “I think it’s adorable how you’re trying to protect Aaliyah from the heartbreak. Did her goldfish have any distinguishing marks that she’d notice right away?” She asked, looking back at all the aquariums, trying to find a goldfish that would resemble the little girl’s enough.

“Well, I mean....it’s kinda my job right?” Aaron chuckled, shaking his head. “Uh, maybe? I feel like it did, but I’m not completely honest if she even paid attention to it. I thought that one...” He pointed to a goldfish to the far left. “looked a little bit like him but I’m trying to be cautious.”

“So, are you just going to tell her the truth, then? Perhaps you should just buy her a puppy. All kids want puppies. She’d forget all about the goldfish, then.”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

“I’m not doing that either, I’m gonna see if I can replace the goldfish now. And uh, sadly I don’t think she’d forget about the goldfish otherwise I would’ve already gotten her one.”

“It’s always complicated, if it was easy then everyone would be able to do it. Which if I remember correctly isn’t a lot, my pop never built ours.“

[aaron-buckley-blog]

“My father never built ours either, but I think a part of me was hoping I’d be ready.”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

not majorly important but i know my activity’s been a little crappy lately. i’m leaving to go hang out with a friend but i’ll be back in a couple hours and i’ll do replies on aaron and sage!! if anyone wants to plot with them as well, hmu.

[bloodyhellreese-deactivated2020]

“Really? I mean, I know she’s smart, but… it’s a goldfish. Was that goldfish really that unique looking? I feel as though they’re pretty easy to replace.”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

“Yeah but, better safe than sorry. Besides, the goldfish has some distuinguishing mark if i can remember correctly but she may not be focused on that,”

[crossdeluca]

“It’s not sad, we all have busy lives these days. Plus have you seen the shit that comes with them? There’s a reason there’s an option to have others build it for you.”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

“It’d just be a harsh blow to my self esteem, although this castle-toy thing seems really complicated,”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

What is the most offensive compliment you have ever received?

“Some college student told me that I look hot for an old guy, which I mean....I’m really not that old anyway. She could’ve meant it a different way, like maybe ‘dad’ instead of ‘old guy’ , but that’s not any better either.”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

Have you ever called 911? What for?

“No, actually. Usually, I’m capable of taking care of things myself. And thankfully, there hasn’t been any accidents involving Aaliyah.”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

What makes you irrationally uncomfortable?

“People mentioning my ex, not that many people do it. Not entirely sure if that would count as irrational though. Uh, I also get really uncomfortable when people go on and on about how much they hate kids in front of me. Most of the time they know I have a daughter, hell sometimes that even sparks the conversation. I don’t get it.”

Rina couldn’t help the small smile that graced her lips as she overheard his half of the conversation. It was always heartwarming for her to see a father who loved their child so much. It reminded her of Emerson and how grateful she was that, despite everything, their little girl was still the most important thing to both of them. “You know, kids are brighter than we give them credit for. Goldfish may look the same, but what are you going to do if she realizes it isn’t hers and catches you in the lie?” She was mostly teasing. 

[aaron-buckley-blog]

Aaron looked over at the familiar woman that had approached him, nodding in agreement. “Oh believe me, Aaliyah is bright. And this isn’t just me speaking as her father. If I’m not careful, she will tell the difference and I honestly don’t know what I’d do. It would literally break her little heart, she had grown quite fond of the goldfish.”

[bloodyhellreese-deactivated2020]

“Ah, the old replacing the dead goldfish trick, huh?” Reese asked with amusement, having overheard the conversation; perhaps most people would have been polite and stayed out of it, but the boy had always been talkative and outgoing. “A lot of them look the same, you could probably pull it off.”

[aaron-buckley-blog]

“Reese, you’ve met my daughter haven’t you? She’s smarter than she looks, believe me. She could somehow tell the difference. I have to be really particular about what the replacement goldfish looks like or she’ll call me out. And it’d just make her more upset.”

“It was changed just before we came here,” the man sighed, bouncing the boy slightly hoping he would stop soon. However, at the little girl’s question he blinked, looking down at her. “Me? I didn’t do anything, unless being patient is such a crime,” he said with a somewhat dramatic eye roll. Looking back at his son, he patted his back lightly, relieved to see he was slowly calming down.

[aaron-buckley-blog]

“It?” Aaron repeated his words with an eyebrow raised, while the small girl was still glaring up at him. “Likely story.” She crossed her tiny arms across her chest, taking a step away from him. “I got my eye on you!” She said in a serious tone of voice.

feet were already carrying her towards the familiar face way before she even heard the conversation. upon hearing it, she stopped, not wanting to intrude on it. tessa was not a social butterfly. preferring the solitude, at times. perhaps it was because he had already had the chance to question her motives and he hadn’t that she felt comfortable enough to at least say something. a gentle smile greeting him once he was done. teasing words being spoken. “ goldfish problems. now that is a new one. “ 

[aaron-buckley-blog]

Aaron chuckled, turning to the familiar woman with a smile. “I mean, I’ve learned to expect anything. I never thought I’d have to try and replace a goldfish for my daughter. And it breaks my heart because she was so responsible, I suppose she was a little /too/ responsible. She may have overfed it..” He shook his head. “I wasn’t aware you were back, Tessa. It’s good to see you.”
