Helping Doodles

~ Your POV ~

You smile as you can hear your boyfriend shouting abuse at whatever frustrating video game he's playing right now, before your focus returns to the book you're reading. Pushing your reading glasses back up to the bridge of your nose, your eyes scan the words on the page, and you feel yourself being pulled back into the fictional universe.
"OH SUGAR HONEY SWEETNESS GUMDROP BUTTONS???" Ethan calls out to you loudly.
You grin and turn your head to the door of his recording room. Shaking your head at his silliness, you slide your bookmark in place and close your book, leaving it on the couch as you venture towards the door. You push it open to be met with the sight of Ethan sat in his chair, which he has turned to face you, with a sad pout on his face.
You raise an eyebrow at him, amusement evident in your expression and tone of voice "What's up?"
Ethan sighs dramatically "Doodles just wont listen to me! Im trying to encourage him and train him so that he can beat all these assholes and prove to everyone that he is in fact the best, but he wont listen!"
Ah, he's playing Duck Life: Space! You pout back at him "Awwwh, is the lil coffee bean not doin' so hot?"
Ethan's jaw drops "Was that a coffee pun?"
You grin and nod frantically "Hell yeah it was! Self five!" You high five yourself.
Ethan holds up his hand "C'mon, I experienced that pun too!"
You roll your eyes at him playfully and stroll over to high five him, but he has other ideas. Intertwining your fingers, he pulls you into him, and sits you down on his lap.
"So, why did you call me in here when Doodles isnt being an optimistic space boy?" You ask curiously.
Ethan is thoughtful for a moment as he debates how to phrase what he wants to say "Well...you always know what to say to me to encourage me to do things, even when Im not feeling up to it, so I was wondering if you could try to do the same thing for Doodles?"
You lean back and kiss his cheek "First of all, that's adorable." You turn back to the screen "Second, that sounds like a very logical solution to this problem, and I will be glad to help!"
Ethan cheers excitedly behind you, and turns his chair around to face the screen, with you still on his lap "Give him the best pep talk he's ever had!"
You smile bright and nod "Alright Doodles, now you better listen! This coffee bean right here happens to mean a hell of a lot to me, and he is getting pretty sick of your shit at this point, which is upsetting for both of us, right? I dont wanna see my boy upset, and Im sure you dont want to upset him, so now is not the time to ignore his desperate and encouraging pleas! If not for E-tan, then do it for the wonderful people watching at home, who are all eager to see you win, even those who put you down are secretly hoping you'll beat all those other assholes! You can do this little duck boy, I believe in you, E-tan believes in you, and everyone at home believes in you, so just be the best goddamn duck this world has ever seen, and show 'em what you're made of little duder!"
Ethan applauds you, before wiping pretend tears from his face "That was beautiful!"
You giggle "I try, I try."
He leans forward and kisses your cheek "Thanks for your help, you can go back to reading your book now."
You grin and stand up "Glad I could help!" You ruffle his hair before heading for the door.
Just as you close the door behind you, you hear a gleeful Ethan say to the camera "Arent I lucky to have such a pretty lady to put up with my stupid ass?"
