@silvershamrocked asked: ❛ you shouldn’t be out here by yourself. ❜ -dexter for lizzie! (hear me out...au where dexter unknowingly prevents liz from dying (but then she dies later because that's always how it goes for dexter lmao))
“D-don’t tell daddy I was here, please.”
The young girl nervously fidgets with her outfit, obviously uncomfortable with the puffs and frills though getting caught wasn’t helping. Green eyes kept low on her mary janes, and it was evident on her little face and how her lip still quivered still that she had been crying earlier.
“I just wanted to watch her show too. She’s so wonderful.”
@afsurgence asked: He just pats Elizabeth's head with a small laugh. "You are small though kiddo."
There’s a small sniffle, and a quiver of her little lip as she looks up to her father.
“If I’m small, daddy, then who’s gonna protect Evan?”
Evan, not much of an age gap between the two and utterly attached at the hip since day one. Neither did well with making friends, Elizabeth was too brash and bold while Evan was much too fragile, and so they filled that void with each other. Mike probably never formed such a strong attachment because that age gap was much larger.
@rottenmask asked: “what’s up, kiddo?” -- @rottenmask | William to Elizabeth, perhaps?
“Daddy, I was wondering…”
Elizabeth was shyly looking at her shoes before putting her little hands together and looking up at her father with those big green eyes.
“Can we please , please, pleeeeaassseee get a pet snake? Mikey took me and Evan to the pet store and the snake looked so sad. I know they wouldn’t be sad in my room cause I'd share my Pretty Pony’s and stickers with them.”
@gcldchains asked: 🤗 [ From Micheal Afton to Circus Baby/Elizabeth ]
Elizabeth just wanted to be noticed, once, to have their father look at her and mutter the two words she wants to hear ‘I’m proud.’ Instead she found herself silently sobbing on the stairs and clutching her crumpled test paper in her hands. She had gotten an A+, but daddy was busy....daddy was always busy and she was not to disturb him while he worked. Footsteps and she looks up hopefully only to see it was Michael and not William.
“M-Mikey?”
A little sniffle as she’s pulled into a hug, and Elizabeth wants to say something to him to reassure she’s okay. She wants to say she’s fine so don’t worry about her, she’s a big girl she can take the disappointment, but the only sound she makes is a whimper into Mike’s chest. The crumpled test falls out her hand as she clings to the back of his shirt and lets the tears fall.
send a ‘👄 + character name’ and my muse will talk about that character
“ Kleiner Stern , my first born….my first joy. My magnum opus. “
Lavinia puts the papers she’d been sorting, because again William and Henry’s paperwork left much to be desired, back down on the desk. She thinks of his once little fingers and whispered promises sat by his crib. She spent a lot of nights in that chair, she did for all her kids but Mike especially, she just didn’t….want to leave him feeling alone in the world especially when he had just entered it. Her little miracle, first of three.
“I see so much of my youth in him, the good and the bad. I know he gets the temper from me, that's for damn sure.” She sighs
He may favor William just a bit more in appearance but there is no denying that is Lavinia Afton’s son.
“I just wish…I wish he’d be kinder to himself. Kinder to his little siblin’s as well but I can only hope he’ll stop carrying so much bottled up inside him…I speak from experience that it won't end well when it blows.”
Maybe they should go to the park, just the two of them. It’s been a while since they’ve had a just them outing. Course he’s a teen now and she knows she’s not the hippest person to hang out with for a teenager.
“He can be a right.” she looks around for a moment, “ arsehole.” Elizabeth huffs
The redhead puffs her left cheek out a little, hands on her tiny hips, but eventually the cheek returns from orbit as she grumbles.
“He can be nice but he can also be so stupid! Like he’ll help me with my homework but then he gets one of my barbies stuck up a tree…or or if momma’s comin home late then he’ll get us dinner, but then he hides under Evan’s bed to scare him!” She huffs
If teenagers are all as stupid as Mike and his friends then she never wants to grow up. There’s another little grumble after some more cheek chewing.
“He’s an okay big brother when he wants to be….I guess. Don’t tell him I said that!”
“My…..best friend!” The tiny bear’s radio happily chirps
The tiny animatronic is practically vibrating with happiness as his ears and tail wiggle. It takes him a minute to calm down cause he’s got his servos just all excited. Now that Helpy’s calm he takes his tiny hat into his tiny hands.
“He….treats me….like I…am…real….it can….be ….confusing…but…I do not…mind.:”
They care about each other, that’s what they do. He watches Mike’s back and Mike looks out for the little guy. Their best friends….their…family.
“I do….wish…..he’d….sleep more.”
He can’t help but worry , but it’s okay. Once Mike finally decides to get some shut eye-.
Helpy will keep watch.
"One day....I h-h-hope...I can tell...him..how proud...I am." The ghost whispers
“One day he’ll finally stop trying to play the hero,join our family, and when he does …ill be waiting.”
