314 - Late Saturday Morning

Mar 14, 2009 09:15

Chuck had not turned into a child. Even if he had, there wouldn't be too much of a difference in the way he acted. Chuck had hated kids even when he was one. Can you really imagine him playing hide n' seek and playing in dirt? No, didn't think so. It would have messed up his wee Armani suits ( Read more... )

Dinah was still waiting for Edward, but she'd bounced a balloon out into the hallway, and when she'd turned back, she'd seen the almost-open door. Time to investigate.

She puuuuushed the door open with one finger, then peered into the room. She wasn't really supposed to do that, but the door had been a little open, so... Hmm. Sleeping Chuck. She padded over to examine him. Still sleeping. She stared for a minute. And stared. And stared.

His nose was funny.

Chuck was at the point where he was close to getting up but not quite there but he was conscious enough to notice someone was there. He cracked open his eye to see...a kid. Staring at him.

Huh. That was weird, even for here.

"Can I help you?" he mumbled.

"Do you got any peanut butter?" Dinah asked, the first thing that came into her head. "I could put some on cookies." She blinked at him solemnly. "I was looking up your nose when you were asleep."

Oh god, it was too early for this crap. Chuck sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes and wondered when it got to the point where he wasn't shocked by strange people coming into his room.

"No, I don't have any peanut butter. I'm not into that sort of thing," he said first, still rubbing sleep out of his eyes. He turned his head and inspected Dinah. "Do you always walk into people's rooms and stare at them when they're sleeping?"

blondecanary March 14 2009, 15:11:35 UTC

"No?" Dinah guessed, because she totally, totally did, when Mommy was sleeping in. She waved her balloon at him. "I had to chase the balloon! Your door was a little tiny tiny bit open. And it's Saturday. Cartoons are on!"

Maybe he didn't know. He was a big person. Sometimes they didn't know things.

rocksthescarf March 14 2009, 15:20:56 UTC

Chuck was just so confused at the moment he didn't even know where to begin. First things first though.

"Okay, time out," Chuck said, holding up his hands. "How old are you?"

blondecanary March 14 2009, 15:24:05 UTC

"Five. This many. I don't wanna go in time out!" Dinah objected, looking pitiful and putting down the hand she'd held up to Chuck's face. "I'm sorrrrry. No more peeking in rooms! Promise!" Until she forgot again, sure.

rocksthescarf March 14 2009, 15:29:42 UTC

"What? No, I'm not putting you in time out. I'm not your--" Chuck's eyes widened a second and he remembered why he asked the kid's age in the first place. He did some quick math in his head and decided, yeah, it was possible.

"Oh god, I'm not your dad am I?" he asked. He knew this was going to happen one day. "You don't get anything until a paternity test proves you're mine."

What a good father he was gonna be.

blondecanary March 14 2009, 15:33:00 UTC

"I don't know," Dinah said, finding this very funny, giggling and nearly squeezing her eyes shut as she laughed. "Mommy says Daddy's not 'round. Not right now. Maybe we'll get a new one, someday."

She tilted her head at him one way, then the other, then decided, "You can be Daddy if Mommy likes you and we go to the circus. Daddies take you there."

rocksthescarf March 14 2009, 15:39:20 UTC

That was not the answer Chuck was hoping for.

"Not all daddies," Chuck said, showcasing his own issues with fathers. He rubbed his forehead. "Do you have a name or am I supposed to make one up...?"

Chuck didn't know how this kid thing worked. He just assumed it was like adopting a dog and you got to rename it once it came to you.

blondecanary March 14 2009, 15:41:42 UTC

"Dinah Laurel Lance!" she shouted, Indoor Voice out the window. "And yes they do. Maddy says so and she's a big girl, she's eight, she knows everything." She bopped his leg under the covers with her balloon. Then did it again 'cause it was fun.

rocksthescarf March 14 2009, 15:46:39 UTC

Chuck focused on the the balloon for a moment and breathed a very, very relieved sigh when he realized this kid wasn't his. Yes, this was one case where his fellow students turning into something else was a better option.

"Dinah, wow," Chuck said, looking her over again and, yeah, seeing the resemblance. He was actually smiling now. "You look...different."

blondecanary March 14 2009, 15:49:12 UTC

Dinah giggled at him, charmed. And his hair was all messed-up and funny. "'Cause it's Saturday. And I'm wearing my pretty dress," she told him. She twirled so he could see her dress, and how it spread out when she did that.

rocksthescarf March 14 2009, 15:54:54 UTC

"It's a very pretty dress," Chuck said, falling into the whole dealing with kids thing easier than he thought he would. At least Dinah wasn't a little brat like other kids he's seen. "What's with the balloon?"

blondecanary March 14 2009, 15:57:32 UTC

Dinah held it out to show him, then said, "It's my secret weapon! See, see, watch." She whipped it back and forth fast-fast-fast so it was just a blur, blinking at it, then grinned when she had to stop 'cause her hand was tired. "See? It's a force-field! Like on cartoons!"

rocksthescarf March 14 2009, 16:06:13 UTC

Chuck had to cover his mouth because he couldn't help but smile at that and Chuck Bass did not find kids cute. At all. Ever. Really.

"I see," he said, after he regained some composure. "That's pretty impressive. I can't do that."
