“You’re the strongest person I know, hands down, and a fantastic parent. And you also know all the best cheap stores, that’s a valuable skill to have.” He winks.

‘How much are you eating in those great meals, huh?’ Seth shoots back with a grin in return that’s tinged with some worry.

Setting the date with Freya has been nerve wrecking. He really wanted to see her again but the idea that she wanted to see him again was beyond him. Texting her was also a fascinating experience as her style sounded to him more like a cryptology rather than normal conversation. But once he got passed the secret codes of her language he really enjoyed their talks and managed to set a time and day. A weekend, since he worked during the week at the school. They settled on a nice bookshop that had a cafe working in it as well. Convenient. 

He probably arrived a little too early out of his nerves. He got to a table and was looking through the menu of lunch food trying not to think about the possibility of her standing him up.

With so much of his focus lately being on studying and work, the meaning of the date escapes Seth for the moment. Because of that, Freya’s offer of something that smells good and spicy, smells like food, coupled with the look on her face, doesn’t get properly connected.

At least until Seth tries a bite of the ‘cupcake’ and promptly spits it out, sputtering and staring at Freya with mock betrayal on his face. ‘You owe me an actual cupcake, you know.’

With little else to do, Seth had found himself outside as if watching the parking lot outside his apartment building would do anything. Phone held in one hand, the longer he waits the more he finds he wants to go back inside. Torn between that and the need to keep watch, see if a familiar white van would finally pull up.

Though part of him doubts that it would, leaning against one of the overhang’s supports where he’s sitting on the concrete and staring blankly ahead, checking his phone every few minutes as if expecting a text or a call. At least until the fact that the question Seth had only half heard was aimed at him, sitting up straight again and blinking up at the asker.

He has to set his phone down on one leg in order to answer, signing half-heartedly and knowing he didn’t really mean it. ‘Yeah, I’m fine, why?’

send me a ship and i’ll tell you which one: (accepting - non mutual welcomed)

immediately begins to shimmy when maroon 5 comes on: Mephisto

wakes the other up at 3am demanding pancakes: Mephisto

sends the other unsolicited nudes: neither, tho maybe when they are older and less awkward about things they send them to tease each other, it’s completely welcomed.

brags about knowing karate even though they never made it past yellow belt: Mephisto, duh, even if he doesn’t know what that is XD 

comes to a complete halt outside bakeries/candy shops: Both. 

blows sarcastic kisses after doing ridiculous shit: Both

killed the guy (also, which hid the body): Mephisto killed the guy and Iris helped him with the body. 

wears the least clothing around the house: Iris.

After Freya’s earlier prank, Seth is wary this time, keeping an eye on her while unwrapping the candy she’d given him. He didn’t usually go for sweet, but the sugar couldn’t hurt... and by the time he unwraps it to reveal a grape instead he’s trying to hide a grin of amusement in response. ‘Got any more?’

After asking he pops the fruit into his mouth; at least it wasn’t too sour.
