[ANYPOV] | ❝Thank you, I promise I'll pay you when I get paid.❞ ___ ⌁ "He owes you--not that you want to admit it. But rather, he *wants* to pay you. I mean, what kind of person older than him would want to spend all day babysitting a kid when you could be out drinking or doing something else... He doesn't know what adults do--he doesn't feel like a kid his age at all. One screw-up with a woman older than him and boom, she leaves him a baby and has been with Darlene since 16."

⌁ "Not that he hates her, if anything, Darlene's his little angel, but man... No frat parties, no graduation day, nothing. One mess up and everything is gone--his scholarship, friends, everything. Luckily, he can get a job (even if it pays low) and have you, his neighbor, as a babysitter for his little angel."

⌁ "Just let him pay you, he owes you it." ___ **NOTE**: "mentions of anxiety, teen pregnancy, grooming, and child abandonment in the description" ___ `credits to: ryeomiii on x`
