Being Human

23. Watermelon Steven

Y/n, Steven and Greg are sitting outside the car wash and eating watermelons.

"Thanks for inviting me Steven, Some Watermelon on a hot day really hits the spot." Y/n says content.

"Aww It's no worries Y/n. Dad said a client left him watermelons instead of cash." Steven says.

"Is that good for business?" Y/n asks Greg.

"Well, I would only have spent the money on food anyway." Greg shrugs. 

Steven spits out a seed and it lands on his cheek. "Look, Dad! I'm Amadeus!" He says. "My father, he disapproves of me!" Steven then says in a German accent.

"Ha! Well check this out." Greg says and he takes a bite on his watermelon, closes his eyes, and spits out two seeds. The seeds land on his eyelids, forming pretend-eyes. "Ta-da!" 

Steven laughs while Y/n chuckles. 

"Betcha can't top that." Greg challenges.

"Bet I can." Steven says now. Steven blows the seed off his cheek and bites into his watermelon. He stands up. takes a deep breath and spits a seed, knocking a can off a cone faraway. Leaving Greg and Y/n a little shocked.

Steven raises arm in triumph. "Haha! Beat that!"

"Haaa... That was impressive, my son." Greg starts. "But the name of the game ain't distance nor accuracy."

"It ain't?" Steven asks.

"No Steven, this challenge is all about who can spit the coolest. Allow me to demonstrate." Greg chews on a watermelon slice and places on it on the ground. He winks at Steven and Y/n then hunches over. He then spits three seeds between his legs into the watermelon slice, which flings them back over him and he catches them in his hand.

Steven  and Y/n both applaud impressed.  

"Wow, Dad!"  Steven cheers but 

Y/n however sees that Greg is not responding. "Uh... Greg? You okay?" Y/n asks.

Greg remains hunched over. "...Help me, please!" Greg strains and both Y/n and Steven help to straighten his back and he falls backwards onto his seat, groaning heavily. "...Beat... that."

"What?!" Steven cries in shock. "You're asking for it!" He proceeds to bite into several watermelon slices. "You're really asking for it!" He then says with his mouth full and he  pauses.

Sensing Steven was about to do something potentaly crazy Y/n takes cover behind his chair. 

"Hurricane... Spin... Spiiiiiiit!!!" Steven cries as he twirls and spits watermelon seeds everywhere, even on Greg and Y/n's chair. "My hurricane spin spit is unbeatable!"

Greg looks around shocked as Y/n's head pops back up.  

"By jove! It's full of seeds!" Greg says looking all around.

"Dad?" Steven asks.

"Congratulations, son. You win by a mile." Greg concedes as he starts to make a crown out of a watermelon slice and puts it on Steven's head.  "I crown thee, Your Water-Melojesty." 

Greg bows with Y/n joining in on the joke, and Steven bows back. 

"My liege." Y/n jokingly says as Steven and Greg start laughing.

It was the next morning and Steven is fast asleep on a lawn chair in front of It's A Wash. He yawns as he slowly wakes up and looks around, noticing tons of oddly-shaped watermelons had grown all around him.
