Leafy's POV:
I was sleeping until I heard the birds singing and chirping outside. I slightly opened my eyes and felt a warm sensation near me. I opened them fully and saw Firey laying next to me. In the same bed.
I got astounded and screamed in shock which caused Firey to wake up frightened by the sound of my scream.
"W-What happened!?" Firey said with shock. "W-What are you doing in the same bed as me!?" I shouted. I saw Firey's cheek getting red, he was probably embarrassed. But, what was he even doing in the same room as mine..?
"Uh.." Firey muttered. I raised a brow at him, "...Let me tell you in the kitchen." Firey said and got up from my bed. I was even more confused.
I saw him walk out and I was still confused.
[ ... ]
I exited out of my room after I got changed and saw Firey sitting at the table. I walked over and pulled open a seat and sat in it.
Firey saw me, "So.. are you gonna tell me what you were doing in the same bed as me?" I asked while sternly staring at Firey suspiciously.
His face looked a little more red, "Uhm.. well... you see- uh.. you were crying in you sleep last night and uh.." Firey stuttered.
I was even more clueless, I don't remember crying in my sleep. Or.. I guess.
"And I came in and tried to help you.. uh.. calm down and I may have accidentally fell asleep." Firey said until it faded to a mumble.
I averted my eyes while trying to hide my blush, I couldn't really stop thinking about Firey sleeping next to me. I felt my face burning and got up from my seat.
Firey looked at me confused, "What's wrong?" Firey asked as he looked up at me.
I turned around, "I-..I gotta go to work. See you-"
"Wait-" Firey stopped me.
I stopped and looked at Firey.
"You.. uh.. I'm sorry." Firey murmured. I didn't know what to say, I just stared at him.
"Uhm.. it's okay." I smiled softly. I turned back around and left the house.
I couldn't stop thinking about Firey sleeping next to me, it made my face really red.
[ At Object Deli Café.. ]
I finally made it to work and walked in to see GB and Pin working. Golf Ball noticed me, "Hey. You feeling okay?" Golf Ball asked. She suddenly made me switch my mind to Gelatin which made me get into a really bad mood.
"Eh.. yeah.." I smiled weakly. I walked past them to get changed, I wonder if they heard that Gelatin got executed..
[ ... ]
I got finished changing and as I was getting out of the dresser's room, my mind switched back to Firey which made me blush even more. Honesty, I couldn't really concentrate and I think GB and Pin noticed my behavior.
As I was taking a women's order, I felt Golf Ball tugging onto my sleeve as if she was a 6 year-old trying to ask their parents to get her a toy or something. Yeah, I'm getting side-tracked.
"Hm?" I responded to her actions.
"Come in the back after you're finished with the customers order." Golf Ball whispered. I nodded my head and saw her go in the back kitchen.
I wonder what she wants.. After I took the women's order, I headed to the back.
As I entered, Pin and Golf Ball looked at me as if they saw a zombie.
"W..What's wrong..?" I asked nervously, I felt my palms sweating.
"Are you feeling okay?" Pin asked. I nodded my head. "Then.. why are you so red today..?" Golf Ball asked as she squinted her eyes at me.
I blushed even more due to embarrassment, "W-What are you talking about!? I'm perfectly fine, I swear!" I nervously said while waving my arm at them.
They looked more concerned and suspicious of my behavior, I sighed.. I suppose the jig was up.
"..Fine.. it's something.." I murmured. Honestly, I was hoping they didn't hear me, but they did.
"What is it then?" Golf Ball asked.
"Ehem..." I started to feel tense, I twiddled my fingers and was thinking about on what I was gonna say.
"U-Uhm.. well- ahah.. uh.. me and ehh.. F-Firey.." I stuttered uncontrollably, Pin and Golf Ball were still looking at me curiously.
"You and Firey what?" Pin asked, then Golf Ball gasped.
"Did you have your first with Firey!?" Golf Ball exclaimed. I blushed even more and proceeded to kick Golf Ball's thigh.
"OW- HEY!-" Golf Ball screamed in pain, Pin tried to shush her because the customers might hear them.
"Ugh, no. I didn't have my first with him." I grumbled while still blushing.
"Then what is it that you and Firey did?" Pin asked while still helping the soreness Golf Ball.
"Well.. me and Firey slept with each other-"
"SO YOU DID HAVE YOUR FIRST WITH HIM-" Golf Ball interrupted.
"NO I DIDN'T, WE SLEPT WITH EACH OTHER UNINTENTIONALLY." I shouted at her.
Me and Golf Ball continued to argue and Pin, of course, got agitated.
"Can you two stop!? We don't want our employee's to think that you two are fighting an angry cat." Pin grumbled madly. Golf Ball scoffed and rolled her eyes.
I didn't do anything, I just did what Pin said and just stopped. God, Golf Ball is so dirty-minded sometimes.
"I'll get back to work." I mumbled and exited the back and walked back up to the front counter.
As I walked up to the front counter, guess who I saw.
Firey.
"F-Firey!" I semi-shouted.
He looked confused, "Did something happen?" He asked.
"Wh.. What do you mean?" I nervously cracked a smile. "I heard screaming in the back."
I blushed even more, "D-Did you hear what we said!?" I shouted. Luckily, there wasn't a lot of customers here.
Firey shook his head, I sighed out of relief.
"Oh, hello there, Firey!"
I turned to my side and saw Golf Ball, what is she doing here!?
"Hey, GB." Firey greeted.
"So.. What brings you here today?" Golf Ball asked as she placed her arms on the table and used to her palms to carry her head.
Firey chuckled, "Not really, I'm just here to see Leafy and you guys." My heart started pounding a lot.
"Haha! That's cool, well, is it okay if you tried something from our menu?" Golf Ball smirked.
"Sure, what is it?" Firey replied. "The couples milkshake." Golf Ball answered. My heart skipped a beat, did I hear Golf Ball correctly?
"T-The couples milkshake?" I turned my head to Golf Ball. Golf Ball nodded, "Me and Pin were kind of messing with the ingredients the other day and then Boom! The Couples Milkshake is born." Golf Ball said with confidence, I facepalmed.
This is getting more confusing..
"Uh.. but my girlfriend isn't here-"
"Actually, she's right here." Golf Ball said while pointing at me, I blushed harder.
"G-Golf Ball! I'm not his girlfriend!" I shouted at her.
I looked back at Firey, he seemed to be a little red. "You okay, Firey?" I asked.
He turned his head towards me and nodded with a soft smile at me. My blush faded a little.
I sighed, "Well, you both are gonna share it whether you like it or not." Golf Ball giggled evilly and walked in the back, I scoffed at her.
"So.. Leafy.. about.. this morning.." I heard Firey mumble.
"Hm?" I turned my head towards him. He was looking deeply in my eyes before he responded, "Uhm.. about this morning.." Firey continued.
I started thinking about it even more, it made me blush again though I tried hard to hide it.
"E-Eh.. W-What about it..?" I asked nervously.
There was a long moment of silence, "N-Never mind.." Firey sighed. I averted my eyes away, "Alright.."
Golf Ball eventually came back with the milkshake, "Here you go, you two Lovebirds." Golf Ball said and placed the Milkshake on the counter.
I scoffed again, "just like you and Tennis Ball.." I mumbled angrily. "What was that, Leaf?" Golf Ball looked at me, kind of angrily. I rolled my eyes, "Nothing."
Golf Ball inserted the 2 straws in the drink. You know those typical cliché dates that have a couple drinking the same drink with the straw? I'm guessing Golf Ball was trying to set us up like that though me and Firey aren't even dating.
"Enjoy, Lovebirds!" Golf Ball exclaimed, "We're not-!" Before I was able to finish my sentence, Golf Ball already went in the back.
I facepalmed again, I really can't stand her.
"So.. uh.. wanna share?" Firey said and I turned around to him.
"Uhm.."
"I-I mean— we don't have to with you don't want to." Firey nervously chuckled.
I was kind of confused, why was he acting like this? It's just a milkshake, right? It's just the name.
I stared confusingly at Firey.
( ehhh— here's more bad art- skdkdkdkd- )
"Uhm.. It's fine. We can share." I giggled nervously.
I took my straw and took a small sip, So did Firey.
We both continued to share it until it was finished. We had some nice talks though.
I was also wondering why no customers were showing up at this time, but it's okay.
Firey later received a phone call, he looked at it to see who it was. He answered,
"Hello?"
He had some talks with the person on the phone. I decided to place the milkshake cup in the sink and walk back to the front counter.
"Sorry, Leafy. I gotta go, Rosemary needs me right now." Firey said and walked towards the exit.
"Oh wait- do I have to pay?" Firey stopped himself and turned his head towards me with his hand on the exit door.
"Uhm.. I don't think so." I shrugged, Golf Ball was the one who offered it to him, she didn't really say anything about paying so I guess it's okay.
"You sure?" Firey asked. I nodded, "I'll just tell Golf Ball and Pin about it." I smiled softly.
Firey smiled back, "Thank you, Leafy. You'd make a great girlfriend." Firey said and left.
...Did I hear him correctly..? Did he just say... I'd make a girlfriend... I felt my heart pounding and my face getting really hot. Oh my tree...
