Dan eyed Teddy up and down for a little while longer before finally deciding that even if the kid was up to no good, he could do very little else than warn his sister and let them go. And then he recalled himself so many years ago. Had he not been just like Teddy when he was younger? What gave him the right to doubt that Teddy had straightened up - especially when he himself had only gone to worse?
So he nodded and put up a smile.
"Sorry," he said and shrugged. "I tend to get a little protective."
Sweets smiled, happy that her brother seemed to calm down. She went up on her toes and kissed him on the cheek in a sisterly fashion.
"And it's terribly adorable," she added with a smile.
Dan only grunted and looked at Teddy.
"Take care of her, then," he said and frowned. "And make sure she's home early enough."

Teddy gave an inner sigh of relief. For once in his life, his intentions towards a girl were completely honorable.
With a nod, he gave a small smile. "Completely understandable." As he watched Sweetheart interact with her older brother, he had to smile a little more. She really was a doll. His attention returned to Dandy. "I won't let a single thing harm her." And he wouldn't.
Blue eyes trailed back down to the girl. "Shall we?" He offered her his arm once more.

Sweetheart smiled happily and took Teddy's arm, waving to Dan once more. Dan only nodded, watching the two of them go. He sighed in his mind as he turned to his bike again. Sometimes he hoped Sweetheart would still have been ten years old. At least then he could have been certain she wasn't being mistreated by any boy.

Being the complete gentleman (har har) that he was, Teddy insisted on opening Sweetheart's car door for her. Blue eyes sparkled as he smiled down at the girl. Maybe there was hope for them, yet.

Sweetheart smiled when Teddy opened the car door to her and got in. Chivalry had always had an effect on Sweetheart, and she blushed a little.
"Thank you, Teddy," she said.

Teddy smiled. "My pleasure."
The car rattled and sputtered as the pair drove away from the school. Pink Floyd poured from the radio, the windows were down, and Teddy was singing along with the music softly. He was feeling rather relaxed now that he and Sweetheart were away from the school and Dandy.

[[That's quite fine, I haven't been here much either. Those essays are really pressing on me.]]
Sweetheart smiled and felt relaxed herself. She liked Pink Floyd - well, at least some Pink Floyd. There were songs which she hated, but then, the band was so diverse. She didn't say much during the drive. She just enjoyed being there with Teddy.
[[ok... cont. in the neighbourhood... that would be in front of Teddy's place, I assume?]]
