Eternal Summer, Eternal Blue

          “are you sure? you don’t have to if you have something else to do!” though, having help definitely would make her feel better about the situation. “i haven’t checked my car yet. i only managed to check around here before i saw you.” her nose crinkles as she's reminded of the hefty price tag for a replacement key, the gesture alone easily communicating her shared sentiment. "i really hope it's just waiting for me in my car..."

Then, when Leah had showed him her cinnamoroll cover his eyes lit up, pure excitement written on his face. "Your a big cinnamoroll fan too? I love sanrio! My favorite would have to be Pompompurin. I have a bunch of plushies of him in my apartment! If my place wasn't so small I'd have a bunch more. Definitely do not have a problem.." He laughed, almost finding himself rambling..but..he had to get to the task at hand.

"Damn. Perfect timing." Pulling his pen away from his lips, it was a pitiful plume of vapor that was departing his lips after. Louis raised it, scrutinized it like he didn't already know the reason for the lackluster puff. He was always forgetting to charge the damn thing over night. What did they expect though? They wanted him to remember his fucking vape pen AND his cellphone? That was asking too much.

Without anything to smoke, he sort of just...sat there. Crouched on the ground, he let his fingers rap against his prosthetic leg to entertain himself until he got the will power to stand up. Metallic clicks were dulled by the fabric between the equipment and his fingertips. Seeing the man next to him smoking something he was tempted to mooch but eventually just let out a long, exaggerated sigh before standing himself up.

Then, there were those clicks that made him peak momentarily at his prosthetic leg. His mind wandered on the possibilities but really..he thought it looked fucking cool. It may have costed him a great deal of suffering to get to the point of obtaining it but..he really did find it cool.

After another slow puff, he tosses his completely used cigarette to the ground, stepping on it. "If you're gonna quit this week, at least smoke a real cig one last time. This is the real deal. Not that electronic bullshit. Guess it's cute how you got flavors and shit." He spoke. ".....Ever try Korean skin care? Works wonders." Plucking out another in the pack, he lights it before handing it to him. Giving him a look as to say, take it or leave it.

He snickered at Kai’s comment. “Could never be worse than the last time I ordered tacos, let me tell you.” It was true, and he already detailed the whole debacle in a stream. Some of his viewers went into various answers of agreement with his statement, remembering it.

“Even if all our viewers are praying, I doubt we will get enough… That’d be a miracle.” His words were followed by laughter. “But hey, we can’t let ourselves be outnumbered, can we now ? SHow those pookies what you got !” He encouraged his own viewers, wishing he could actually show himself on cam without worries.

Truth was, Erick could if he was less of a scaredy cat. Or bunny. “Ha. Ha. Woah Kai-ty-pie, look who’s talking.” His tone was blasé, but he couldn’t entirely hide his amusement. His character went to fetch the bun as requested, judging he gave enough chaos already.

Damn, he regretted opening his mouth about it. He should have just ignored it. After all, it was not like the bunny didn’t want to meet the other. It was rather the opposite… Just, he couldn’t. Meeting in person was thousand times more risky than showing his face online, and he didn’t even do that.

But damn. Erik saw the face the other made, and guilt squeezed him hard.

What an idiot he was. Sometimes using brain cells before speaking could really do him some good.

Okay, he had to manage to distract his teammate from that. Getting the other sad was already bad enough, he didn’t want to crash the stream too !

“Sir, yes Sir !” He answered with his best ‘obedient soldier’ voice, character moving to get the veggies. “Damn I want a veggie burger now…” Technically, Erik could eat meat, but didn’t digest well. It ended in him not really eating at all, so of course the vegetarian life was what he went for. Processed eggs were okay, but he wasn’t fond of eggs otherwise. Used in cakes ? Would absolutely dig that.

“Next time we need to do some competing game, and the loser will pay for the other’s food ! A one meal delivery though, nothing more.”

Erik wasn’t exactly bathing in money.

“Damn, that reminds me. The other day at work, can you believe it ? One dude came in, bought like. Every candy on display on the counter. Then he looked at me - man he looked so tired - and told me ‘Don’t ask’. So I didn’t ask, but I was dying. Why did he buy all those ?? I’m sure he lost a bet.”

"You're right. We need more than prayer emojs. We need Jesus itself." Kai continued on, frying the burgers as quickly as he could..however some of the burgers he was grilling were...overcooked because he was trying to cook way too many at once before the timer went out. Hence the name...overcooked.

"Fucking shit balls...! Bun this is all your fault." He smirked, obviously it wasn't but he just found it hilarious to toy with his friend and pin the blame on the innocent. Extra points for the reaction. Then next, came the cashier story. It was a strange one but..not surprising. People were wild...especially past midnight. He was one of those people. "Sounds like my guy had a shitty day and wanted to sink his feelings in a hundred pounds of sugar to go into diabetic a-coma. That's one way to cope I guess." He shrugs then lets out a small chuckle. "Or..could of lost a bet like you said. Probably the latter...Hopefully, the latter."

And then...the timer officially ran out. And their total score...pathetic. One star. Almost a half a star! What in the world happened?! The chat began spamming laughter and L after L. Though, this outcome was expected, they weren't elite gamers. They were just having fun and filming for content that would make others smile and really...they did this because they had fun doing this together as well. It made Kai feel...a lot less lonely and..even happy doing something so silly together.

Harmony groans when the iced water's chill seeps through her clothing and skin. Her cheeks aglow from the creeping blush. Shame weighs heavily on the woman, now feeling she is two inches tall. The woman's gaze avoids Kai while her hand quickly snatches many napkins from the dispenser standing next to the salt, pepper, and a few bottles of condiments offered at each table. She mops the water on the table, but unfortunately for her, most of the ice water was all over the front of her top and skirt. Harmony isn't sure if Kai pretending he didn't notice at first was to give her some grace or was meant to mess with her. Her focus doesn't stay there for long because what Kai says next makes her panic.

"My what?! You see my-?!"

A squeal breaks her words, and she falls forward. Her chin rests on the table top and embraces herself to hide the soaked top. "Oh, no! I didn't bring a jacket or anything to hide it! Y-you saw!" She groans, shivering in her seat from the cold water and the fear of being exposed. "I'm so sorry!" She grabs more napkins from the dispenser and dabs them over her wet clothes in hopes that it will be enough to dry them off. Her face glows bright from the intense blush as she frantically tries to dry herself off.

Damn it all! This date is becoming a disaster!

He couldn't help but watch her scramble at first, finding her flushed face adorable. He watched her for a moment more with a smirk before he found himself pulling off his leather jacket, revealing his fragile arms. The red haired male was undeniably underweight, as his veins popped and skin was almost as pale as the napkins she used to clumsily try and dry the water off her shirt.

Standing up, he approached her from across the table and put the jacket around her before taking his seat back to the opposite of her. "There. Now you can relax and not blow a blood vessel. What a shame though...it was quite sexy." He spoke. "It's defiently quite the first impression. One for the books~ Can't forget a date with free nips."
