Uncle Joe was picking up the role of what her dad would be. You were now a little scared as any teen would be talking to a dad about her daughter. You begin to rub your palms.
“I think that she is, uh, very attractive. I like her wings, her tail, and her horns. I cannot forget to mention the horns.” You made a horn motion on your head. You were panicking in fright. From his look having the vibe of, “I could kill you,” didn’t help at all. “She is big, really big.”
“Quit your bullshit!” Uncle Joe called you out angrily. Your heart stopped for a second. “Those are her features. Any man would fall in love with the features of succubus when he lays his eyes on one. What makes your heart yearn for her? Or was it just the nice sexy body?” Uncle Joe was so extravagant with his hands that he made a curvy shape of a woman to emphasize his point. He was wanting to get to the point of your reasoning. He didn’t want surface level feelings. He put his head on his arm as he spoke. “I'll let you think for a second.”
You really needed that. You had gone through so much in the last week with Sarah, Madi, and the whole succubus thing. You were being carried through a roller coaster of emotions, acting upon it for decisions. You need to think about who Sarah was to you without having her bewitching powers on you. It was something that you had to think about from the very beginning of last weekend. No, a little before that.
“I would have to say that it started with dolls.”
“Dolls?” Uncle Joe was taken back by that. He wasn’t expecting that.
“Yes, dolls” You brought it back to that. “Sarah would always try to show me her dolls, stuffed dolls, like bears and Pokemon toys. She was always so proud of them and wanted me to play with them or use them to play with me. She was shy about it but when she built up the courage, she wouldn't be shy about wanting to be with me to play with her.”
“So you fell in love with her because of her dolls?” Uncle Joe didn’t seem to be believing you.
You shook your head. “Not quite. That will come up later.” You are getting more comfortable now. “When Sarah started growing, something inside me stirred up that I had to protect her. She was scared about what was going on, I couldn’t leave her. I had to be her shining knight. She was entering a whole new world rapidly. During that, I saw that Sarah truly loved me. She trusted my words and decisions and that calmed her fear. She felt safe and secure with me around. As she finally grew up, those feelings that she had did not disappear. She loved me for who I was. I’ve got a bigger picture of who she is and why I fell in love with her.”
“Is it because she is massively attractive? Anyone can say that.” Uncle Joe seemed disinterested in your statement. He seemed to think that you were buying time with words.
“It is because we have similarities.” That was your big point.
This shifted Uncle Joe’s attitude. He straightened himself up. You got him interested. “How so?”
You gave a smug smirk. “Remember the dolls.”
“The ones you mentioned at first. Yes , I remember them. Why?” He rolled his finger around for you to continue.
“They are the first part of this.” You held your hands up like you were holding a box. “Sarah’s love for dolls clued me in that she is a nerd. It was just that at her younger age that her passion was something closer to her age. When she got older, that nature came out into something I am more familiar with.”
“How so?” Joe was becoming more invested in this.
“I saw that she bought a switch. She tried to hide it but I saw it. She has been trying to grind to the rest of us in the group in Pokemon.”
“I have been seeing her with a strange device when she isn’t working on magic. I thought it was an Ipad taking notes.” Uncle Joe glanced sideways as he recalled what Sarah was doing earlier that day. “I will have to see what sort of thing this Pokemon is? You are saying that you like her because she is into this Pokemon?”
“Ish. It is only a part. I see her trying to switch her interest into more things that would be closer to her age that are similar to dolls. I see her becoming interested in anime, cartoons, video games, superheroes, D&D, fantasy, and the list goes on. I see that Sarah has a nerd side to her.”
Uncle Joe began to scratch his beard. “So you saw that the two of you had the same interests?”
“Yes, but it was her character that I fell more in love with.” You sit back in your chair now, placing one hand over the other. You had become serious looking, not the seriousness that would kill though.
“What is it about her character that you fell in love with?” Uncle Joe was hooked. You could see it in his eyes.
“I found out that she was still kind, sweet, gentle, and concerned for me when I was scared of her.” This was the meat of your argument. This is why you loved Sarah. “I was frightened of having my soul stolen from me when Sarah became a succubus. I didn’t know what would become of my life. Sarah did not seek my soul. She wanted my love. She knew I was scared of her so she comforted me by being honest with me. She could have charmed me but she didn’t, she wanted the feelings to be true. I see the errors of my way of thinking that she would go down the path I thought succubus would go, eating every soul they came upon. She didn’t. Sarah went down a noble path that I can respect with her powers. She goes after people who want to harm other people. She is using her power as a hero. I want to continue to support that and whatever challenge she faces. I am proud of her.” You declared proudly to Sarah’s Uncle
“Hmm.”
That was Uncle Joe’s response. He hummed as you gave him the truth about your feelings for Sarah. He pivoted his chair to the side as he attached the tips of his fingers together over his belly. He was deep in thought about what you said. He did it for a couple of seconds just giving you a slight glance as he pondered your words. You poured out your heart and he seemed to scrutinize it all. You were more nervous than before.
“She is a good person.”
“Hmm.” He did a tapping roll with his fingers.
“She is cute when she is shy.” You felt sweat building up on your back.
“BWAHAHAHAHA!” Uncle Joe burst out laughing up a storm out of nowhere.
“Huh?” You were bewildered. This serious man that looked like he would kill you suddenly was having a laughing fit.
“Cough! Ack!” The laughing fit suddenly stopped with a deep cough. He was showing his true age with himself trying to calm himself down. It sounded like that cough could kill him. “Sorry.” He held up his hand to show that he was fine. “I couldn’t keep that act up for too long. It was hilarious to see you panicking.”
“You did that as a prank on me?” You were stupefied and angry. Uncle Joe just wanted to have a laugh out of you.
Uncle Joe wiped a tear from his eye. “No, no. I was seriously trying to figure out your motives. I just had to create a mood where you had to be honest. I don’t have a “Truth Touch” like Amy and Mia.” Uncle Joe stood up and walked around to the otherside of the desk, sitting partially on the desk. “I needed to see what sort of man had smitten the heart of a queen succubus. I need to approve that you could be with her.”
“Did I pass?” This was your big question.
“With flying colors.” Uncle Joe smiled. It was a smile of someone you could believe could be on the same level as Santa Claus. Completely opposite of his look early that screamed murderer during the interrogation. “I have heard of how great your character is but I needed to find your motives for being with Sarah. If you didn’t have the best interests for her I would let you stay with her.”
“What would have happened if I didn’t measure up?” You were a little worried that you would have to separate from Sarah. That wasn’t frightening to you. You were positive that Sarah and you would fight that decision.
He tapped your leg to put your worries at ease. “You did so let us focus on that.” He ignored that question. “You have my approval to date a succubus queen.”
