Spoil you Rotten

"She asked me to fix her computer" Dirk mumbled, turning back to the screen "Sorry if I'm bothering you"

John shrugged at him. "You haven't done anything. I just asked why you were here."

Dirk shrugged slightly, clicking away at the keyboard softly.

There was a long, awkward silence. Eventually John coughed and rubbed at his neck. "I'm going to my room now."

"She's down in the kitchen if you really want her" Dirk stated softly.

"Okay. Thanks." John was silent as he headed back to his room.

Dirk hunched in on himself once John was gone. He had hoped he wouldn't have to see John while he was there today.

John stopped outside of his room. He paused before continuing past it. He was going to talk to Jane first.

Jane hummed as she moved around the kitchen, taking cookies from the oven and putting more in.

John stopped at the entryway to the kitchen. He sighed when he saw that his sister was baking. At least she was making cookies instead of more cakes. "Have you heard from Dad?"

Jane looked up at him with a smile. "He's still at work. There was a late meeting tonight"

John nodded at her. "Are we making dinner tonight?"

"I figured I'd order something" Jane replied. "Dirk might end up eating with us, he's upstairs fixing my computer"

John nodded at her again. "I saw him."

"Is pizza alright with you?" Jane asked

John nodded at his sister. "Yeah. Can we get one with everything on it?" There were only a few times when the younger Egbert requested pizza with everything. Mostof the time it was due to stress or anxiety. Jane was by no means stupid, so she had more than likely picked up on this behavior by now. But that didn't concern John right now. He just wanted to eat, get his work done, then maybe get his dumbs feelings for Dirk worked out.

"I'm sure Dirk wouldn't mind splitting a pizza with you, that's his favorite" Jane replied. "Anything else?"

John tried to not look upset as he shook his head. He didn't want to be around the older Strider twin right now. But he also didn't want to voice this and make his sister mad. Or worse, have her start questioning him about the whole situation. "I'll be in my room."

"Leave your bedroom door open" Jane replied "I want to be able to check in on you without having to knock"

God damn it. She really did know her little brother too good. There was a jar of cream cheese frosting with John's name in his closet too. Jane would not let him eat that. Not now anyway.

John was silent as he shuffled over to the cabinets. He'd grab a snack from here. And if his sister told him no, then he'd tell her to shove it. Dad might not have been home, but Jane wasn't the boss of him. Quickly, he snatched up a whole pack of Dunk-A-Roos.

Jane looked at him with a raised brow. "Offer one of those to Dirk, and don't eat them all before dinner" she stated.

John ignored her as he left the kitchen. He wasn't going to share with Dirk. He was going to eat as many as he wanted. Hell, he'd still have room for a whole pizza even if he ate the whole pack of treats.

"John!" Jane called after him, "I'm serious. If you eat them all, I'll tell dad"

John turned around to face her. "That isn't fair Jane."

"If you keep eating like that when you're upset, you'll get sick." Jane replied "Especially the way you binge eat sweets. You're going to wind up with an eating disorder"
