Kiddie AU - Post growth spurt

[sliceitwithwind]

It'd been a week, but Dilan...was nowhere near used to his new size. He kept banging into walls, doors, low hanging objects. Anything dangling from the ceiling, and he kept forgetting how wide his shoulders were as well. It was driving him insane.

Not to mention the fears that his size and new, distinct lack of "cuteness" meant that he was hideous looking. He wasn't ready to go back to college, not while still recovering from the agony of the growth spurt, so he was curled up at home trying to get used to himself. Braig had needed to go back and pick school work up for the two of them, trusting that Aya would take care of Dilan until he got back.

Dilan was curled up on the back porch with a couple of blankets and a book. And a protein shake the size of a monster slurpee cup.

"That's true." Elcy agreed, and then also looked at the table and laughed, "Well, supper then. I know you two, you'll need to eat again before you sleep. Lets say ten? Be back by ten."

Dilan shared a grin with Yinsi. Sometimes Elcy was funny.

[mitochondriaaya]

"We'll bring an alarm to the beach!" Aya promised with a sweet smile. "And yeah, we will..." Still kinda weirded out by that honestly. "And I'm still waiting on my presentation grade about why I need to eat more." Fidget!

"For future reference...Dinner is the meal we all eat together whenever possible. Supper is bonus food round. Sound like a good definition?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"My watch still fits." Dilan promised. It was a good, waterproof one. "You'll let me know what you get, right? I can talk to the teacher again if I need to."

"Dilan, sweetie, I'm sure he got it the first time." Elcy said.

Yinsi agreed, "That's a good definition, Aya. We'll go with it."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I don't need you guys to fudge and fix my grades!" Aya poked Dilan in the ribs. "I just really, really hope I explained all the science stuff right because otherwise it wasn't really about the right thing?" SHE WORRIED OKAY?! "Plus I'm pretty sure my teacher thought you were going to bite him." And biting was Aya's job since Dilan had grown up and gotten some dignity and all.

"I like Dinner," Aya grinned in general, because...yeah. She liked having people there at least one meal of the day! Granted, she was probably over compensating for meals alone as a kids still.

[sliceitwithwind]

"I know!" Dilan said, laughing, "I wouldn't bite him! I'd probably break his arm if I bit him now..."

"Dinner is good." Elcy agreed, "It's a nice way to catch up with everyone."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I don't think you'd break his arm unless you were trying," Aya admitted, "or unless he was really dumb and wiggled weird or something." Because it took a little more than that to snap an adult's arm?

And yes, dinner was good.

[sliceitwithwind]

"Maybe." Dilan said, wiggling his jaw, "I've got a lot of power here now."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I wonder if you could do something like biting through a coconut..." BECAUSE SHE WAS THIRTEEN!

[sliceitwithwind]

"No, children." Elcy said, "Dilan, you are not to try to bite through a coconut."

"Yes, mom." Dilan said, although he did look curious.

[mitochondriaaya]

Who wouldn't be curious really? "Yes mom," Aya parroted. "I won't bring him stuff to bite either."

[sliceitwithwind]

"Thank you. We do not need Dilan breaking teeth." Elcy said with a sigh.

"Ooo, yeah. That'd suck." Dilan agreed.

[mitochondriaaya]

"Oh, right," Aya agreed. The teeth falling out thing was still kinda fresh in her mind. "How do we test how strong his jaw is now without breaking his teeth?" They'd know right?!

[sliceitwithwind]

"You don't need to test out how strong Dilan's jaw is." Elcy said, shaking her head.

"I could get stress-testing equipment with rubber..."

"Dilan."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Awwwwwww!" Aya made a mournful face across the table at the adults and leaned on Dilan's arm. "Don't you wanna know?" Oh, wait. They'd already corrected that tonight. "Don't either of you want to know?"

[sliceitwithwind]

Aya got a look for the wanna, but nothing else. "No, dear, we don't need to know. I'd be too worried about Dilan hurting himself. He's not likely to ever need to know how much he can bite."

[mitochondriaaya]

"Sure he will!" Aya pointed out with a grin. "He's going to have to go hunt big dangerous things since he's grown now right? And I bet that takes biting as well as everything else!"

[sliceitwithwind]

Elcy gave Yinsi a pleading look, but the older man said, "Design a series of experiments, Dilan, and show us the safety protocols. We'll make a decision then. Until that's done, this discussion is tabled."

"Yes, dad."

[mitochondriaaya]

"If you have to do it at the college I want a video!" Aya grinned and then dropped it entirely as ordered. "I'm going to meet Dilan the gym tomorrow after school and bring him chicken, do you want me to bring home chicken for you too?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"No thank you, Aya." Elcy said, "We'll take the evening and go have a date." It was important for them to keep dating! And nights the kids had other things to do were useful!

[mitochondriaaya]

"I like when you guys date!" It made Aya feel good really to see them still being happy together! "Are you going to see a movie?" She wouldn't wait up if the were going to be out late?

[sliceitwithwind]

"We don't know yet, Aya." Yinsi said, "We'll let you know, all right?"

[mitochondriaaya]

"Okay, I'll still be in bed by eleven though." Aya was good like that! "Might be reading with Dilan though?"

[sliceitwithwind]

"That's fine." Elcy said, "You're a good girl, Aya." She tried to reinforce that, let Aya know that she was loved.

"We'll check in on you when we get back."

[mitochondriaaya]

"I try!" Aya beamed at them and finished her burger. "Have fun? Have a lot of fun!"

[sliceitwithwind]

"We will." Yinsi promised.

Dilan nodded and finished up his burger, then started stealing fries from Yinsi.
