A pizza place~

Episode 2:

They arrive up to the counter. “Uh— can I please get a half pepperoni pizza half Hawaiian—?” —Stalas “of course!! Will that be all?” —Cashier “Yeah, and I’ll be the one paying.” —Eios “Wait Eios I was gonna—“ *Eios puts his finger on Stalas’ lips* “I got it” *Stalas stands stunned, flustered*

*Eios notices Stalas’ reaction and smirks* “Alright then that’ll uh— be $27.73” —cashier *the cashier says feeling mega single* “Thank you!” *Eios pays against Stalas’ will with a polite smirk*

“that wasn’t so hard hm?” —Eios *Eios walks toward a table and puts his arm around Stalas in a playful way whilst Stalas blushes a bit* “u-uh huh—“ —Stalas

They sit down with their pizza, Stalas still fidgeting a bit as he avoids Eios’ eyes. Eios leans back casually in his seat, watching Stalas struggle to open the little parmesan packet.

“You’re really bad at that, huh?” —Eios teases, smirking as he takes the packet from Stalas’ hand and rips it open easily. He sprinkles some on Stalas’ slice before sliding it back.

Stalas’ face heats up again “o-oh… thanks… I could’ve done it though—”

“Sure you could’ve,” —Eios says, resting his chin on his hand, eyes narrowing slightly in amusement. “You’re blushing again.”

“Wha— I’m not..!” —Stalas quickly covers his cheeks with both hands, looking away.

Eios chuckles softly, leaning forward just a bit “you really are. It’s kinda cute.”

Stalas nearly chokes on air at that, fumbling for his soda. “C-cute—?! Don’t just say stuff like that out of nowhere!”

“Why not?” —Eios grins wider, clearly enjoying Stalas’ reaction. “It’s true.”

Stalas grips his cup tighter, mumbling, “…you’re so unfair…”

Eios tilts his head, “unfair? How?”

“…you say things so easily… like it doesn’t even bother you…” —Stalas mutters under his breath, almost too quiet for Eios to hear.

Eios leans in just a bit closer across the table, his voice dropping low, “maybe it’s because I mean them.”

Stalas freezes, eyes wide, completely unsure how to respond. His mind is racing— Does he really mean that? Is he just teasing me? Oh no oh no oh no—

Trying to escape the tension, Stalas blurts out quickly, “S-so, uh, let’s eat before the pizza gets cold—!” and shoves a bite into his mouth way too fast.

Eios laughs at the flustered display, shaking his head fondly. “You’re hopeless.”

But even as Stalas chews, desperately avoiding his gaze, Eios thinks to himself— man, I could get used to this…

They continue to eat the delicious food and have a small talk about life, while Eios continues to tease Stalas.

What could be going on—? Could Eios perhaps be….falling…in..l..love—?! With….m..me?!— no.. there’s no way!! He must be just I dunno.. teasing me for no reason—? Ugh, I don’t know. Please kill me before I mess this up.
