Summary: Yubel wasn't the first person that Cobra bargained with.
“Eat your vegetables, Rick.” Cobra ordered before taking a bite of his steak. He wasn’t a very good cook, but he’d learned how to manage, just so he could cook for his son. It was what a father would do, in his opinion.
Rick stared down at the broccoli on his plate and pushed at it with his fork. “Do I have to?” He would do almost anything that his father asked without question, but broccoli was where he drew the line. How could anyone eat that and survive?
“Yes.” Cobra tried to keep his own face straight as he chewed a few sprigs of it himself. This is revolting. But it’s good for Rick.
“Dad?” Rick peered at his father. Had he caught a glimpse of revulsion there? “If I don’t eat it, you don’t have to eat it…okay?”
Cobra swallowed the broccoli and gave it only a moment’s thought. “Agreed.”
The End
