we're all fighting growing old

it’s a date, then. ¬ seb & mariam

Um.. television shows actually do. Or when I’m cooking. I’m pretty sure when my room mate goes away for college - because I know she’ll get in - she’s going to miss my cooking buuut I’ll miss her baking though, her cupcakes are to die for! [giggles] Oh? Well let’s hear it. I am putting you on the spot.

You cook a lot? Who’s your roommate? Maybe I’ve met her before. [He smiles, then laughs and clears his throat.] Uhm, okay... “And that’s about the time she ran away from me. Nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three...” [He stops, then, and laughs again.] I don’t know the rest of the lyrics.

Lucky. Whenever I start thinking of something, it just never seems to stop. [nods] …What? No? Unless you want to, of course.  But you can’t be as bad as I’d imagine. 

Really? Nothing distracts you from that though? [He chuckles.] I was joking. I’m not that bad of a singer; specially not in such an easy song.

Oh,see, I didn’t think of that. I don’t want to think of that. It has got to be the worst feeling ever. [thinks for a few seconds before shaking her head] Nope, it’s not coming to me!

I tend not to give it much though, too. [He chuckles.] Is this a plan to make me sing it? Because I will sing it. Very badly, may I add.

This storm is just ridiculous.

When am I not? [pouts, defeated]

Hm... On very rare occasions. [He chuckles.] Don’t pout! No need to. It’s a good thing!

Because old age scares me, honestly. Doesn’t it scare you? [She chuckles, covering her face with her hands] I completely spaced out on what song that is. Refresh my memory?

It doesn’t, really. If I can be active even when I’m old, I’m good. I just don’t wanna be crippled, or anything; I’d go crazy. [He smiles and chuckles.] Uh, the one where they say nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three?

This storm is just ridiculous.

What’s that supposed to mean? [trying not to laugh tbh]

It means you're a dork. [He laughs.]

it’s a date, then. ¬ seb & mariam

No, I don’t think so! I mean, we’re supposed to get to know each other, right? [He smiles.] I’m 25. I hope that’s not weirdly old for you. [He chuckles.]

Right. [nods] No, no not at all. I’m actually turning 23 in June. [smiles] I’m dreading it if I’m honest. 

Dreading it? Why? [He grins.] I promise that what Blink-183 said in the song doesn't always come true.

[He laughs softly.] Guys think flowers are overrated, I guess.

I guess so. [She nods, chuckling] So, how old are you? That’s not too..forward to ask is it?

No, I don't think so! I mean, we're supposed to get to know each other, right? [He smiles.] I'm 25. I hope that's not weirdly old for you. [He chuckles.]

This storm is just ridiculous.

[He shakes his head to get rid of some snow on his hair, until she falls and his eyes widen; he manages to run over to where he saw her last.] Freya?!

[her lil head just pops up, her face covered in snow] It’s so cold!! [tries to wipe her face but her mittens are also covered in snow so it’s practically hell]

[He's torn between laughing and being worried, so does both as he lifts her off the snow, holding her bridal style and taking her to the safety of the porch of his house.] Only you'd lose a snow fight against snow itself. [He chuckles as he puts her down, using his hand to wipe snow off her face.]

He didn’t bring flowers, did he? [He chuckles.]

It is like you read my mind.

[He laughs softly.] Guys think flowers are overrated, I guess.

It’s lovely to meet you too, Mariam. [He smiles, then chuckles, a little nervous.] Blind dates? No, never. I never really saw the appeal, but obviously I’ve been missing out.

I’ve been on precisely one and I got to say you are blowing the other guy straight to the wind so far. [chuckles]

He didn't bring flowers, did he? [He chuckles.]

This storm is just ridiculous.

[He tries to dodge the snowball, but fails and it hits him in the chest, making him shiver.] Freya! [He laughs anyway and throws a snowball of his own in her direction.]

[She giggles all mischievous and shit until the snowball comes her way. She manages to dodge it but loses balance and falls face first in the snow, her whole body not in Seb’s sight anymore tbh]

[He shakes his head to get rid of some snow on his hair, until she falls and his eyes widen; he manages to run over to where he saw her last.] Freya?!

[After she’s sat, he goes and sits across from her, smiling.] I don’t see a point in being anything but nice. [He nods a little.] Sebastian. Call me Seb. Yours?

I feel the same, actually. It’s lovely to meet you, Seb. I’m Mariam. Just call me Mariam, please. Have you ever done this before? 

It's lovely to meet you too, Mariam. [He smiles, then chuckles, a little nervous.] Blind dates? No, never. I never really saw the appeal, but obviously I've been missing out.

Thank you. [sits down, placing the flowers to the side] Flowers are nice. Shows your a nice guy, and that’s always a good thing. [Smiles] What’s your name?

[After she’s sat, he goes and sits across from her, smiling.] I don’t see a point in being anything but nice. [He nods a little.] Sebastian. Call me Seb. Yours?

This storm is just ridiculous.

[tries to keep a straight face as she runs forward and tries to throw her snowball at him]
