Episode 9

The ride home was depressingly quiet. May, usually talkative with her random ideas and couple ships in her favorite anime, was silent. She just stared out the window as we drove. Kevin’s knuckles were white from gripping the wheels too hard, not knowing what to say.
“May?” I tentatively called out. She looks at me and gives me a small smile.
“You know I love you, right?”
“I know that”
“You know this i***t loves you too, right?”
“Hey! I have a name and it’s baby”
“See, an i***t. Anyways, you don’t need to feel sad because you have a clown who would cheer you up…..”
I pretend to cough.
“......Kevin……”
“Why you-?!”
“And an amazing gamer who also draws fanfics for you”
“That’s all you do? I help her with work”
“That’s boring. I cook great meals and I’m better at giving her head. All you do is choke her with that massive thing. Poor May, she has no idea you want to kill her by asphyxiation”
“I’ll crash this car and make sure you die, Max”
“This is how the government and the legal system works, ladies and gentlemen. You get silenced for saying the truth”
“May, baby, can you take the wheel? I’m about to beat the s**t out of this little fucker”
“Stop, Stop, both of you Stop….” May says breathlessly, choking on laughter. We smile as she coughs a bit more and holds on to the headrest. There were many misconceptions about our relationship and many would reject or hate us but as long as we love May and she loves us, there is no real problem for us.
Aside from the fact that we haven’t told our parents about us and actually planning our wedding. That can come for later. Now, we have to make May happy.
“Does that mean my offer to watch the both of you still stands?”
“Nope” we say at the same time. She pouts but she’s no longer depressed. That’s good. During my night Livestream, May comes into the study to grab something. Getting a brilliant idea, I turn on my camera, say nothing, and motion to her to come. She answers, coming to sit on my lap.
“This is my baby” I proudly say. She slinks her head low, she was naturally shy you see. Kevin enters the room and I signal for him. I pull his head and kiss his forehead.
“This is my baby’s baby” the two of them run away but I’m satisfied.
