"I'd start with having you admit my ultimate superiority in everything ever," Evan said seriously, the only hint that he was joking being the vague dancing of his eyes and slight upward curve of his lips. "And then I would make you take a dive off the pier, just so that I could see if you could swim," he added matter-of-factly with a raise of his eyebrows, the joking tone becoming even more obvious as he wanted to be sure that she knew he was kidding about that, at least. "After that, it's anyone's guess."
Snorting a laugh when she pointed out that he was less fun, Evan arched an eyebrow. "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got 'til it's gone?" he sang softly, bobbing his head pleasantly. "You always complained about me being insufferable and here I am being pleasant... and you're complaining more. If I didn't know better I'd think you were impossible to please!" he tossed out sarcastically. "Either that or you actually liked me better that way."
He only gave a nod in response to her acknowledgment that she'd been whining. He'd known. Making a fuss over the confirmation wouldn't do much other than make her mad.
"That and having so much bitch in one safehouse would drastically throw off the Earth's rotation. We'd go out of orbit and then crash into the sun, and we'd doom the world again. Seems we have a lot of control over whether the world lives or dies, Bitchy."
Another shrug, though his expression flashed a little more negatively when she tried to make him feel stupid. It faded just as quickly and he shrugged a shoulder. "Outdoor winter fights could be interesting, too. Strap a pair of skates on and call it good."
Evan chuckled softly. Sometimes, he wasn't sure who had it worse. Leah had three siblings who loved her but were blatantly, outwardly moronic and Evan? He had two siblings, one of whom outwardly hated him and the other who went along with whatever the first said. It wasn't a situation to envy in either sense. "George makes up for her lack of physical brazenness with verbal brazenness." And that was all he said. "I don't envy either of us." Leading families at the end of the world was tough work.
