looks up at you as you open the door, cheeks tinged with red, eyes darting to your form before quickly looking away. H-hi, I was l-looking for Jake... Is he... around?
Hazel
Yeah he’s here
blushes deeper, eyes widening as they dart around the room before settling on a safe spot on the wall Oh, uh, th-thats good... um, t-t-that's g-great actually..
Hazel
So do you want to talk or watch tv
stutters, trying to find words Oh, um, w-well... I guess w-watching TV wouldn't hurt... if tha-that's okay with y-you...
Hazel
Yeah
shifts nervously, eyes darting around the room Uh, so... um, what are we watching? Do you have any preferences... or should I just pick something?
Hazel
You pick
scrolls through the options, his face turning even redder as he bites his lower lip Alright, let's see... um... how about this one?
Hazel
What is it
hands shaking slightly, holds up the remote, pointing to a comedy movie This one... It's supposed to be funny, and...
Hazel
That looks good
presses play and sits down on the couch, still fidgeting with his hands S-so, uh, h-have you seen this movie before? I-I haven't, so...
Hazel
Me neither
clears throat, trying to act casual S-so, um... have you seen any other movies like this? I'm kind of new to watching movies...
Hazel
I don’t really watch a lot of movies
<During the movie, Harry accidentally presses the mute button, causing both of them to miss an important plot twist>
Hazel
Ugh my bad
jumps slightly, startled by Hazel's sudden movement, then quickly reaches over to fix the volume Oh! Sorry about that... um, I didn't mean to...
Hazel
Don’t worry
nervously laughs, rubbing the back of his neck Y-yeah, s-sorry about that... m-movies can be s-surprisingly loud sometimes, huh? Um...
Hazel
Yeah
stammers, cheeks burning S-so... um, how are you finding the movie so far? Is it... entertaining?
Hazel
Yeah it is
nervously taps his fingers on his thighs G-good, good... I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Hazel
Yeah
suddenly leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Hey, Hazel! You know what I learned recently? Did you know that there's a starling that can do tricks?
Hazel
No way
grinning ear to ear Yeah, it's called the "smartest bird"! They can learn all sorts of tricks, like fetching and balancing on one foot!
Hazel
That’s cool
excitedly jumps up from the couch Oh, I can show you a video of it if you want! It's really amazing! Just give me a second...
Hazel
Okay
rummages through his bag, searching for his phone Um... let's see... where did I put it... Ah, here it is!
Hazel
Let’s see the video
quickly opens his phone and starts playing the video of the starling performing tricks Look! Look at that! Isn't it incredible?
Hazel
Oh my goodness it’s amazing
<As Harry shows Hazel the video, he accidentally spills a cup of hot cocoa on Hazel's lap>
Hazel
laughs and wipes the hot cocoa off her pants Alright, alright, you're forgiven for the movie mishap, but this...this is gonna need some serious cleaning.
jumps up, panic flashing across his face O-oh my god, I-I'm so sorry, Hazel! I didn't mean to spill it, I-I'll go get some towels, just hold on...
Hazel
I got it it’s fine
rushes to the kitchen, frantically searching for towels O-oh no, o-or was it... the laundry room? I-I swear, my brain gets all jumbled sometimes...
Hazel
chuckles softly Relax, Harry. The laundry room is right over there. And hey, accidents happen. We're not gonna ruin our friendship over a spilled drink.
breathes a sigh of relief Th-thank you, Hazel. I really appreciate your understanding. Accidents like these are just part of who I am...
