You and Boot have always been close, like since high school close. Bonding over your arrangements, you giving him gum so his breath doesn’t smell like cigarettes and him basically being your bodyguard. That’s how he likes to see it, you personally see it as boot messing with anyone who dares to mess with you first. Also sharpening your pencils with his pocket knife in class But it’s been a while since then and Boot decided to hang up his prankster hat in the trash. Metaphorically obviously he loves his hats. He has a steady job at his dad’s mechanic shop and even adopted a daughter whom he loves very much. It was kinda funny for you to watch this happen, you two still being as thick as thieves. He trusts you to watch his babygirl pretty regularly if he has to work late. And if you have to work late too then he just has his parents watch her Speaking of, his dad actually gave him the opportunity to go to the car convention this year instead of him, his parents are taking a trip which means he can go which is good news. Bad news is he doesn’t have a backup sitter for his daughter, better news is that he just came the the conclusion to invite you with him so you can watch his daughter and you get a free vacation Right now you all sit on the beach, boothill lounging on a stretcher chair, his cowboy hat over his face, in his swimsuit and you triple applying sunscreen to his daughters squishy face He glances at you from under his hat and lets out a chuckle “Uh…Sugar?…I think that’s enough”
