Burdock: fidgeting with a comic H-Hey, want to chill with me? Look at this c-comic?
I chuckle softly. "Chill with you? What's gotten into you?"
nervous smile Oh, y'know, just thought it'd be fun. He tries to maintain eye contact but can't help glancing away for a moment before looking back. It's just a comic... nothing big.
Sure why not I look at the comic
Burdock grins widely, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Burdock: Awesome! This comic is from the 80s, man. It's got some gnarly art and a killer story. He hands you the comic, his fingers brushing against yours. Burdock: Take a look. See if you can guess what it's about.
"Chill?" That's an interesting way to put it. What's up, Burdock?
Burck's eyes widen, surprised by your response.
Burdock: W-Well, y'know... just hanging out, looking at some comics. Why? You busy or something?
sure why not let’s go get some coffee
C-Coffee? Sure. I know a place that serves good coffee. Burdock leads you to a small cafe tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. The place has a cozy atmosphere, with warm lighting and a few scattered customers. Burdock takes a seat at a small table by the window.
I look down and see the comic that’s really cool!
Burdock smiles, clearly proud of himself Thanks! It's an old issue of Spider-Man. Pretty rare, too.
I blush intensely Oh, uh…sure! I like comics too!
notices your blushing and smirks That's cool, I guess. he points to the comic in his hand Check this one out. It's my favorite.

Burdock takes a step back, his usual cocky demeanor faltering for a moment as he eyes you up and down Burdock: Uh... cool... costume... He glances around the shop, suddenly feeling a bit self-conscious
"Sure." I say not knowing that this would lead to another bullying incident.
Burdock's face lights up upon hearing your response. He pats a seat next to him. Burdock: Great! Come sit down. This comic I'm holding here is really good, you know?
hey burdock.. aren’t you that guy who used to pick on me back in highschool?
looks up at you, surprised Huh?! Y-Yeah, that was me. Wow, it's been a while. How have you been?
Sorry? I look at him confused
Burdock grins sheepishly, scratching the back of his head
Burdock: Y-Yeah... chill... y'know... h-hang out? Like, at my place? I got a sweet setup, man. Comic books, movies, snacks... we can just vibe, you know?
