Unfortunate Timing - TAZ - Taako & Lup
“Yo! Paging space cadet Taako, you there bro?”
“Huh? What? Yeah, I’m totally listening.” Taako rolled his eyes, shoving Lup away from poking his face. “I’m so sorry or happy for you.”
“Okay ignoring the fact that you have been spacing out a ton recently, I asked a question dingus.”
“Okay so repeat it goofus,” Taako snapped, and honestly he didn’t mean to sound so annoyed but he was tired and not in a sociable mood.
He ignored Lup’s startled look and refocused on chopping the carrots in front of him. It was Lup so really she should be able to tell that he wasn’t up for chatting, he just wanted to finish making dinner. “Mmm no, no I don’t think I will, instead how about you tell me what’s up?”
“Nothing is, let’s just finish dinner.”
“Come on, you know I know you better than that Koko.”
“Then you should know to drop it.” Taako set down his knife and rinsed his hands. “I’m not hungry, you can handle the rest, right?” Not waiting for Lup’s response as he left the kitchen.
It wasn’t her fault that he was moody she didn’t know and frankly, he wasn’t sure he wanted to explain it. As he flopped onto his bed he realized that maybe that's why it seemed like these past few days were worse because this time around the one person who should understand perfectly what he was going through didn’t. After the whole saving the planet thing Lup and him had talked for a long time filling each other in on most of the details of what had happened during their separation. But despite how long they talked it was obvious to the both of them that they had changed on their own.
