6: “That was my cookie!” “What’s mine is yours, and yours is mine.”
Also just a warning that Victor breaks his leg in this
“Hey! That was my cookie!” Alex complained as Victor took a bite out of Alex’s cookie.
“What’s mine is yours, and yours is mine,” Victor said.
“You don’t even like sweets!” Alex countered, and Victor gave a shit-eating grin and stuck his tongue out at Alex before bolting. “Victor! Get back here!”
Victor climbed up a tree, but, unfortunately for him, Alex was much better at climbing than Victor was and easily cornered Victor.
“What are you gonna do? I already ate the cookie,” Victor pointed out.
“This,” Alex said, and he leaned over and kissed Victor, easily deepening in the kiss.
“Victory! Alexander! Get down from there!” A voice shouted, and Victor and Alex parted from the kiss to see that it was Arlo yelling at them.
“Are you jealous that you’re not getting any tree kisses?” Victor shouted back. “Because we can change that!”
“No! I’m worried you two will get hurt!” Arlo said. “Now get down!”
“Alright!” Alex agreed, and he easily jumped down.
“You really shouldn’t jump down like that,” Arlo scolded. “It’s dangerous.”
“I’m fine,” Alex insisted.
But Victor wasn’t as fine as he jumped out of the tree, and a crack was heard.
“Victor!?” Alex exclaimed, and he only grew more concerned as Victor started laughing.
“That was such a wild drop! It was like zoom! Crack! The crack was my leg, haha!”
“Why are you laughing!?” Alex worried.
“He gets a little delirious when he’s in pain,” Arlo answered. “I’ll make him a makeshift brace, and then we can take him to the clinic.”
“Hey, hey, hey, hey, Arlo,” Victor giggled. “I stole Alex’s cookie.”
“That wasn’t nice of you,” Arlo responded.
“Yeah, yeah, but Alex kissed me, so it’s all good,” Victor said.
“Victor, are you okay?” Alex asked, hovering over Victor in worry while also not really being able to do anything.
“Alex, I’m fine,” Victor insisted, and then broke out into laughter. “Are you worried about little old me?”
“Yes? You broke your leg!”
“Haha, that’s funny,” Victor said.
“Hehe, you’re so pretty,” Victor complimented, and Alex flushed slightly.
“I don’t think now is the time for compliments…”
Arlo got the makeshift brace in place, and he got Alex’s help in carefully lifting Victor up so that he wouldn’t have to stand on his leg, and they quickly got Victor to the clinic.
When they got there, Xu’s typically friendly demeanor fell into something more exasperated.
“What did you do this time.”
“I fell out of a tree!” Victor gleefully answered.
“He broke his leg,” Arlo informed.
“Right, I’ll make sure that’ll heal properly. But, Victor, I’m literally begging you to stop doing dangerous things.”
“I will not,” Victor said with a huge grin.
“Yeah,” Xu rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Yeah, I know. Let’s just get you fixed up.”
