Salad makes you crazy

Alexithymiaa: -Brad was sitting in the booth with a fairly large bowl of french onion soup in front of him, the cheese perfectly melted over the top of the bowl and the onions just deliciously fragrant, I want soup so bad. He was twirling his spoon into the cheese, soaking it in the soupy goodness and spinning it around to pick up some of the cheese, spooning it up into his mouth with yummy mming noises.-
Covet: Kelsey had been kind of picking at her salad, not really feeling all that hungry. She was starting to feel the effects of the cold setting in, and she'd done so well at avoiding it. But she couldn't not love on her sick kiddo. Though she was doing her best to hide it by drinking a very warm tea with generous amounts of honey and lemon. "Are you making love to that soup?" She asked with a smirk.
Alexithymiaa: -He looked up from his bowl, his hand not stopping in the twisting and twirling of cheese around his spoon as he looked across the table at her. "I mean... sort of, yeah. It's good enough. I think this place makes some of the best french onion soup I've ever had. There was this one diner near my Brooklyn apartment that was better, but this is like top five of my life."-
Covet: Smiling at him, "That's good. I'm glad there is at least one good soup in this town." She laughed. Taking a sip of her tea, trying to keep the tickle in her throat from getting out of control. But it was too late and she had to cover her mouth as she had a coughing fit from both the liquid and the cold bug.

Alexithymiaa: "They make pretty good soup here in general." He said with a nod, furrowing his brows as he watched her have her coughing fit. "You feeling alright?"-
Covet: "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." She said nodding her head while waiving her hand, couhing a couple more times. Then she took a long drink of her tea. "We might need to stop by walgreens on the way home though."
Alexithymiaa: -He watched her cough for a moment longer, unconvinced of just exactly how fine she was. "For what?"-
Covet: "Some cold medicine. Unless you still have some left over." She said to him, taking another swallow of her tea.
Alexithymiaa: "I do... if you're okay with grape. If you're feeling alright, what do you need cold medicine for?" He asked her, sending her a smug little grin.-
Covet: Kelsey gave him a slight glare, putting her cup down. "Because I think I caught whatever you and Connor had. There, now wipe that look off of your face."
Alexithymiaa: -He couldn't help, but break into laughter, scooping up more soup on his spoon and feeding it into his mouth. "Of course you did. It was pretty much inevitable. You can't live that close to someone and not catch what they catch."-
Covet: "I can't not love on my son." Kelsey said with a pout. "He needed his mom. And I didn't hear you complaining about the care I gave you."
Alexithymiaa: "Of course I'm not complaining, I'm just saying. It's hard not to get sick when the people you live with are sick." He said with an easy shrug of his shoulders. "You're entitled to all of my grape cold medicine though."-
Covet: "Oh thank you I feel absolutely honored." Kelsey said with a laugh, shaking her head. "Well if I'm lucky my boys will take just as good of care of me, as I did them."
Alexithymiaa: "You know we will, grape medicine and all. Maybe Connor and I can make a video of making some homemade chicken noodle soup and you'll get the benefits of that one. Unless you'd prefer a different cold remedy."-
Covet: "Oh! No by all means that's the only and best remedy I can think of." Kelsey said with a smile while she sipped from her tea some more. "That would be absolutely perfect."
Alexithymiaa: "I'll have to let him know. And maybe a cute little feature at the end of him bringing it to you." He said with a nod, his brain starting to run off with the idea. "Unless you don't want to be seen at all."-
Covet: "We'll see how I look and feel that day, how about that?" She said to him finishing off her tea, clearing her throat again.
Alexithymiaa: "I think that's fair, although even on your worst days, you still look pretty hot." Sending her a soft smile.-
Covet: "Awwh, You're sweet." Kelsey said looking at him. "You still look pretty hot yourself, even when you're sick and whiney."
Alexithymiaa: "I think I look pretty hot in spite of being sick and whiny." He said quickly, sitting up straighter. "It really just comes natural to me. I don't have to work at it, it just is."-
Covet: "Okay, don't go flattering yourself too much over there. Cocky only looks soo good." Kelsey said to him as he peacocked.
Alexithymiaa: "Looks pretty damn good if you ask me." he said with a shrug, still on that cockiness thing. "It's okay though. You knew what you were getting yourself into."-
Covet: "Sadly I do. I question that decision some days." She said teasing him, with a smirk.
Alexithymiaa: "Not this day though. On this day, you know exactly how awesome it is to have me around. Like, I'm giving you my grape medicine when we get home. Who else is willing to go that extra mile for you?" He asked, trying to keep a straight face.-
Covet: "Mhhm, Oh, I'm sure I could find someone that would dote on me the same way you do." Kelsey said with a laugh. "Who knows maybe there is someone who is willing to make me my own cough syrup that doesn't taste awful."
Alexithymiaa: -He frowned instantly. "I don't know, that sounds kind of dangerous. Would you really be willing to have someone make you homemade cough syrup? I feel like it'd be poison."-
Covet: "Eh, If they were a doctor I'd be okay with it." Kelsey said with a smile, Looking at him. "And depending on what kind of cold you have, death might be preferable."
Alexithymiaa: "Even doctors aren't the same as chemists. Most doctors don't know how to make the medicine." He started to crack up, picking up his spoon to dip into his soup again. "That's probably true. Or maybe not just a cold, but the flu."-
Covet: "You know what I mean you butthead." Kelsey said to him, picking up one of the cherry tomatoes off of her plate to throw a him. "Definitely the flu."
Alexithymiaa: "Hey, what did we discuss about throwing food in public?" He asked with a faux stern look, raising a brow at her. "Don't let Connor see you."-
Covet: "He's not here, so it's fine. And I'm not doing it for attention, I'm doing it because you're being a butthead. It's different." She told him sticking her tongue out at him.
Alexithymiaa: "Throwing food is throwing food." He said with a sing songy tone, swaying back and forth in his seat. "But we wont tell him anyway because he won't know the difference."-
Covet: "Exactly." She said getting another tomato, and throwing it at him as he swayed back and forth.
Alexithymiaa: "Heyy, cut it out!" He said, swatting it down to the table. "I dont even have anything i can throw back."-
Covet: "Who's fault is that?" She asked him with a grin, then went for a cruton to throw at him next.
Alexithymiaa: "Yours. You picked a boring salad with lots of little parts and I picked a delicious bowl of soup that would make this go from an innocent food fight to you hating me real quick."-
Covet: "Hmm, sounds like it is a you problem." She said with a shrug. "I just prepared better." Kelsey continued to tease.
Alexithymiaa: "You did not prepare to throw food, stop it." He said with a roll of his eyes, leaning over to grab a cucumber from her salad to throw back at her.-
Covet: Kelsey squeaked and caught it, tossing it back at him. "No, But clearly some part of me was planning ahead, or at the very least being reasourceful.
Covet: *"
Alexithymiaa: "You liking salads is not resourceful, it's crazy. There is a clear difference." He smirked, setting his spoon down to dodge the incoming cucumber. "Maybe we should get back and get you into bed since you're clearly too sick to think clearly."-
Covet: "Okay fine, but only if you tuck me in nicely." She said going about putting the thrown food back on her plate so they could leave.
Alexithymiaa: "I will feed you grape cold medicine and tuck you in nicely." He agreed, sliding out of the booth and moving to her side to offer her a hand to help her up.-
Covet: She took his hand and laughed at the prospect of grape cold medicine. "Okay, let's go. Before I get anymore loopy."
Alexithymiaa: "I know, you might order another salad or something." He laughed, helping her up so they could get home and get her into bed.-
