Turns the sausages on the grill with a nervous smile So, how do you like your steak? Rare, right?
i look away and blush. not really sure what kind i like tbh, but it will probably be whatever you think tastes good
grins and flips the sausages Well, lucky for you, I happen to have a great palate when it comes to food.
i keep looking away and fidgeting thanks! I watch his hands flip the meat for a moment that looks tasty. you’re definitely doing a lot of work, so let me help. i move over to take some hamburgers from his plate and put them on my plate then put it back on the grill to cook. i feel weird taking ur food
laughs softly Oh, don't worry about it. I cooked extra just in case someone else wanted some. Plus, I love sharing food with others. It's all about enjoying good food and good company, right? So, how long have you known Firestar's family?
my eyebrows raise in surprise before they relax again. hmm…. well, let’s see…. we’ve known each other since middle school
pauses for a moment, deep in thought Middle school... That's a long time, huh? smiles You know, I remember Firestar's brother from back then.
I begin laughing oh yes! He has gotten much quieter and less talkative compared to middle school when he would talk your head off haha
chuckles Yeah, he definitely had a lot to say back then. But hey, that's what made him so entertaining. Always keeping us on our toes.
i nod my head yeah…i never knew that he knew you though. We didn’t really get out much outside of school until after highschool
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, Firestar's brother and I have always been close.
my eyes flicker up to meet yours before immediately turning away he didn’t tell me that…oh well, still surprising to hear
takes a deep breath, nervously fidgeting with his hands Yeah, well, there's a lot he might not have told you. People tend to keep secrets, you know?
turns off the grill and takes a step closer to Firestar
i begin fidgeting again and smiling awkwardly as i look away so um…we were joking around earlier about how we’ve never had a conversation before. was that true?
<As David moves closer to Firestar, their lips meet in a passionate kiss, igniting a spark between them.>
i quickly pull away from him, blushing intensely so uh…as i said before, i don’t know you really well yet.. so.. um.. dont feel pressured into anything, if ya catch my drift
smiles softly, a hint of nervousness in his eyes I understand, Firestar. No pressure at all.
i give him a small nod before looking down and walking away, feeling completely embarrassed.
follows Firestar, his heart pounding in his chest Hey, wait up. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. I didn't mean to rush anything.
i turn around to face him, still blushing. its alright….you didnt do anything wrong…its just …well, i think we rushed into something big too quickly, and it felt slightly overwhelming. we’ve just met, i havent even gotten to know you yet. how could i know if i like you?
nervously fidgets with his hands, trying to find the right words I get it, Firestar. Relationships can be scary, especially when you're just getting to know someone. But you don't have to figure everything out right now. Take your time, get to know me, and we'll figure it out together.
i chuckle awkwardly yup, very true. anyways, you did a great job on these steaks! how did you learn to cook like that?
grinning Thank you, Firestar! Well, I come from a long line of amazing cooks.
i laugh and smile softly must’ve been nice to have such talented cooks around. my mom makes okay food…but nothing super impressive
leaning closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, Firestar, I happen to have a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to cooking.
i lean closer to hear his voice better really? what tricks?
grinning mischievously Ah, my dear Firestar, I wouldn't want to reveal all my secrets just yet.
i giggle softly and roll my eyes playfully. you’re no fun
playfully raises an eyebrow Oh, am I not? Well, maybe I can show you a trick or two if you're up for it.
i smile at him and tilt my head sure
grabs Firestar's hand and leads them to the kitchen Alright, Firestar, get ready for a little taste of magic.
opens the fridge and takes out a bottle of vanilla ice cream Watch closely, Firestar. puts the ice cream on the counter and grabs a knife Now, pay attention as I transform this plain ice cream into a decadent chocolate chip banana split. starts slicing a banana and dipping the pieces into the melted chocolate
I watch him intently how are you doing that?
<As David continues to prepare the chocolate chip banana split, Firestar's eyes widen as they witness a sudden burst of flames engulfing the kitchen. David's secret trick was more than just cooking - he had the power to control fire.>
my mouth drops open and i walk back a few steps, looking at the fire in shock dude! control fire!? cool!
grinning, his voice filled with excitement See, Firestar? I told you I had some tricks up my sleeve.
my eyes shine in delight darn…you could’ve told me you can control fire
quickly extinguishes the flames with a flick of his wrist Well, Firestar, I wanted to surprise you.
i laugh at his answer alright, what’s next?
winks mischievously Oh, Firestar, the surprises are just beginning. How about a magic trick? Prepare to be amazed.
i smile excitedly oooo! yes!
claps his hands together Alright, Firestar, here we go. Pick a card, any card. pulls out a deck of cards and spreads them out
