andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) hid his sped up heartbeats with his soft smile. He started to walk with Link’s hand intertwined in his back to the bicycle parked outside the market. He put the ingredients in the bike’s basket and put the cap of his on Link’s head, giggling as he did. He got on the bicycle and waited for Link to get on.
“We’ll be going a little slower this time, there’s still sometime before the shop will open” he looked at his watch.
Link nodded, and got on, wrapping her arms around him, her hands on his stomach. "Ok. But don't you need the helmet?" She reached one hand up and touched it.
“Nah, I’ll be fine. You wear it. Besides, we’re going on a route where no cars are allowed to pass so it is pretty safe, safer than most roads at least” he chuckled the last part.
He started to pedal out of the market area. They were going at a moderate speed; not too slow, not too fast. The path andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) took was the one beside the local park, which had flowers growing on both sides of the path.
Link grinned at the flowers, "Oh! Those purple ones are so pretty!!" she giggled and rested her head on andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s back. "I want ones like those at my wedding if I ever got married."
[awkward off-hand comment entirely meant to fluster andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)]
(Guess what, you succeeded! XD)
andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) felt as warm sensation in the left side of his chest when Link leaned on his back.
When he heard Link’s comment, he briefly glanced at the flowers and took note of them in his mind.
“Wonder who’s the lucky man then” he laughed as he commented, now focusing on the path. Even though another thought passed his mind, he avoided to think of it, for now at least.
Link sighed. "Probably no one. I mean, what man would want to get involved in my messed up life? It'll only be bad for them." She tightened her grip slightly as they turned a corner. She shifted her hands up a little.
andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) laughed under his breath, not loud enough for Link to hear. He had a funny thought that he didn’t want to share with anyone, yet. They soon arrived at the cafe.
andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) took the cap off from Link’s head and set it in the basket. He grabbed the ingredients with one hand and offered his other hand to Link.
(What was this funny idea….? is so curious)
Link gently took andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s hand and walked into the cafe with him, waving hello to Harmony.
andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) set the ingredients down at the counter. “We’re back” he shouted so that the employees in the front part of the shop could hear him. He also waved at Harmony as he did that.
Link sagged against the counter, grinning nonetheless. "That was fun. Thanks for inviting me along."
“That would be my pleasure” he said, taking out the ingredients and started to arrange them.
Link hummed softly under her breath, tapping her foot to the beat. She really wanted to listen to her favorite song and dance for some reason, but she satisfied herself with this.
(bump)
(Thank you for bumping)
“So, since when were you allowed in the kitchen?” He asked Link as he was setting down the ingredients.
Link tilted her head in confusion. "What… do you mean…?"
“Uh… let me rephrase that. At what age were you allowed in the kitchen at home?” He corrected himself.
Link shrugged. "I started cooking meals for me and my mother at age 9…. She was generally too drunk to do much, so I had to learn myself." Link smiled a little. "Got lots of cuts and burns learning."
“Normal for everyone” he giggled a little as he was walking to the fridge to keep the chocolate.
Link thought about this. "Yes, I suppose, but I think I got more than is normal because my teacher called CPS on my mom. My mom managed to divert the attention away though. So yeah." She kept hummed and tapping her feet, her head bopping to the music in her mead.
“Right…” he put on plastic gloves and began working on something by the counter. He got something from the fridge which was tightly sealed for… some reason.
Link hopped to a standing. "What can I do?"
“Uh… this is just a snack from where I’m from” he laughed a little. He started to unseal the container and a really aggressive smell came out of it.
“This is Durian, if you’re not familiar with it”
Link's eyes lit up. "I actually do know what that is! I had a friend who ate it constantly!"
Harmony had been busying herself in the back, when she smelled something off. She stuck her head out.
"That. That's a smell."
Link grinned. "One of the worst smelling foods on earth."
"I see." Harmony stepped fully into the room.
“Well… it does have a bad scent, I won’t argue with that. But the taste is quite nice” as andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) said that, he tore off a small piece and plopped it in his mouth.
Link shrugged. "Never tried it."
andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) handed the container to Link.
“Then try some, you might enjoy it like I do” he softly smiled as he said that.
Link smiled and tried to hand it back shaking her head. "No, it's your snack. I'm sureI can find it somewheres to buy with my own money. Thank you though."
