Drabble | Teddy Lobo x Reader
Just a random thing me and @broccolithebunni had been talking about. Teddy's an idiot /pos.
TW: Food, mentions of choking, not being able to pair the proper wine with food, excessive use of the word 'fuck'
Being associated with the Lobo's was still something you were getting used to. Before, people would treat you like anyone else, not even turning their heads if you walked into a room. Now, it was pure association that seemed to have everyone desperate to never anger you. And that was when you were on your own. And it was nothing compared to how they treated you with him.
Tonight he insisted on treating you for dinner, telling you to pick any restaurant. You should know by now that nothing can be lowkey with Teddy, but part of you hoped the two of you would just sit down and enjoy dinner.
That dream was of course crushed the moment you approached your favorite cajun place. Teddy always made comments about owning the town, and you knew he was talking about fear, but part of you was beginning to believe maybe he legitimately owns New Orleans, because as soon as you walked in, everyone sat up straight. A waiter took your orders and gave them to you as soon as humanly possible. With the take out (that you're not even sure they normally have), you both headed to your place.
Now, about twenty minutes later, you were watching with disgust as Teddy attempts to crack a crawfish with his teeth, like a dog on a chew toy. The occasional, "Fuck," is heard before he checks if his tooth is still in his mouth. You wait until he gives up before sliding over a plate of peeled crawfish, waiting to walk him through how to eat it.
"You done?" You ask, smiling at him.
He looks over at you with his signature wide-eyes before slowly putting the mangled crawfish down, blushing as he tried to stammer out an excuse.
"How'd you fucking do all that?" He points to the plate between the two of you.
"Twist the head and separate it-"
"Nope, no, ew. Okay, how do you eat it?" He picks one up, inspecting it suspiciously.
"Squeeze the tail right here," You demonstrate by holding one up and pitching the fan-shaped part of the tail, sucking the meat out of the body. He stares at you, raising his eyebrows.
"That's so fucking gross," He laughs.
You roll your eyes at his hypocrisy, "Just eat."
He nods, looking down at the crustation in hand before copying what you did. You smile, proud that he could finally do something on his own. Then he begins violently coughing, and your smile drops.
"Teddy, are you okay?" You ask, looking for any signs of choking. He seemed fine, just really red in the face.
"You didn't say it was spicy!" He gags, chugging the red wine he's been drinking. You leaned back, lowering your brows in confusion.
"It's not spicy at all. It's, like, the opposite of that, actually."
"Mhm, sure," He finishes his wine, waiting a moment to see if the burning in his mouth dissipated at all, "Fuck, man."
"Come here, let's get you some water," You offer a pitiful smile, standing up with him and walking into the kitchen, holding his hand like a hurt child.
As soon as he got the water, he chugged it as fast as he could. You watched his Adam's Apple bob, wrinkling your eyebrows. How has he even lived this long?
In one swift movement, he slammed the glass down on the counter, "Fuckkkk me…"
He panted, staring at the floor. You just nodded your head, genuinely concerned for him.
"Do you want to get something else to eat?" You tilted your head until he met your eyes.
"Yeah," He responded, flustered and embarrassed, "Sorry I ruined dinner, but next time, I'm choosing," He placed a kiss on your lips, an apology for the whole night, before shoving you away.
"What?!"
"I forgot you just fucking ate!" He cried, refilling his glass.
Done lol

Hi if youve seen these two posts on your timeline please stop for a second.
Ive been living in a bad situation for a while, i cant do my laundry, i cant do my cooking, and i cant use the livingroom. Im confined to my room unless i plan to go outside and there is a set of rules i have to follow where if i leave any small mess i will be yelled at.
Following a disagreement where they demanded to speak to me at 11 pm and i refused due to having college tomorrow and knowing i would probably be verbally berated to the point of breakdown, they broke into my room and things escalated. They are kicking me out and i have to pack tonight and leave tomorrow. I cant do anything abt the living arrangement due to it being an unofficial contract. (They were a family friend that offered to house me.)
If youve seen these posts please consider supporting me on kofi or on patreon. I dont know where else to go.
