"daddy, look! I'm big and scary!" patrick giggles, holding his arms up in a "scary" manner as he ran towards pete. "roaaaar!" he giggled more, tackling pete onto the couch.

pete laughs softly, falling back on the couch. "oh, oh no! einstein, help, the monster is getting me!" he yelled out towards the dog, playing along with patrick.

"aaaggh!" patrick giggled, lightly biting at pete's hands- making sure not to hurt him if he ended up actually biting him.

"oh nooo! he's biting me, einsteiiiin!"

the dog sat at pete's feet, watching in pure confusion at the sounds coming from the boys.

"alright, baby," pete chuckled, moving patrick off of him a moment later. "that's enough."

"but I'm big scary!" patrick pouted.

"you're too cute to be scary," pete chuckled in response. "you are the farthest from scary."

"am not..." patrick mumbled, looking down. "'m a big, scary boy." he pouted.

"you sure are," pete chuckled, pulling patrick close for cuddles. "my big, scary boy." he smiled, kissing patrick's head.
