Connor stood behind Bennet, bouncing on the balls of his feet a little to entertain himself while he waited. And he was maybe just a little bit nervous about ordering. It never appeared that way, but he always felt an immense amount of anxiety before talking to strangers. The only time this didn’t really apply was when he was drunk. And whenever he was around his ‘friends’ that ended up being quite frequently.
The two eventually made it to the front of the line and Bennet trying to just get his food as soon as possible, quickly ordered his food then moved out of the way so Connor could order. Other than eating, he really wanted to get back to the apartment, change into some pajamas, and do nothing for the rest of the night. His friends from Heaven had said that they would drop in and visit him one of these days, and he seriously hoped it wouldn't be tonight. They'd find something to tease him about, and never stop with it. After a few minutes of him spacing out, he noticed that the person was motioning to him to pay. He handed over his credit card then waited for the receipt. "So, uhm, Connor? What did you order?"
“Hm?” He’d also started spacing out. It took him a second to process the question. “Oh yeah I just got some lo mein, it just sounded really good right now. What’d you end up getting?” He asked.
((Sorry it’s a bit short))
((Don't worry about it))
"OOh, that sounds yummy, I got the egg drop soup and I forgot. . .It really sucks when you have short term memory. I can remember really random and obscure things from my past or whatever, but at times I'll be having a conversation with someone, then I get sidetracked, and when I get back to the conversation I'll just be confused not able to remember what we were talking about. . ." He trailed off awkwardly, "Wait. . .what were we talking about before I got sidetracked?" He glanced around for clues then he remembered, "Oh, yeahhhhhhhh the food, I think I got egg foo young too." He smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, it's just a weird thing that happens to me a lot."
He laughed softly, smiling over at him. “It’s perfectly okay. I do some pretty weird things so having short term memory isn’t that strange. Honestly it’s kind of adorable.” He said, not thinking much if it. “But that might just be what I think I don’t know.”
"It's annoying, yesterday at work one of the trainer guys taught me how to make one of the coffee things, then I got distracted and he yelled at me when I messed it up.. . So, I wish I had a normal memory, like normal humans do." He sighed, "But what's your weird thing? Wait. . .that's sounds weird, I mean, you get what I was trying to say? Right?"
“That does sound annoying actually. And yeah I understand.” He paused in thought. “I don’t know..I just can’t talk to people very well for one. Sometimes I’m really moody too and that always sucks.” He shrugged. “Just random shit I guess”
"I think that few people are naturally good at talking to people though, so I don't think that you should worry about that. At least I don't, all the time, at least as much as I used to, I just try to just speak cleary, and try to get my point across, although I normally fail." He shrugged, "But, I get what you're saying, everyone have their weird things that they do."
He nodded. “Oh looks like our food’s ready.” He said as their number was called. “I’ll grab those and then we can head back home.” After saying so, he walked over to the counter, grabbing their bag of takeout before heading back in Bennet’s direction.
Bennet nodded, "Okay, let's roll." He started walking towards the door and opened it up, then forgot that Connor was behind him, the door nearly slammed in the guy's face, "Oh, I'm so sorry. . ." He chuckled a little bit, "Here, let me get that. . ." He opened the door again and let Connor through, "So, uhm do you like Golden Girls."
Connor couldn’t help but smile at Bennet’s awkward tendencies. In all honesty, they were pretty adorable. “Actually…I don’t think I’ve ever watched it.” Which was a surprise considering how long he’d been around. Just one of those things he never got to doing.
"You're kidding, when, we get back to the apartment, we are going to watch it!" He grabbed Connor's wrist and started to drag him down the street, trying to make sure that the guy didn't drop any of the food. "Come on, come on, come on!!!!!" When they got the building Bennet rushed up the stairs, "HURRY UP!!!!!!!!" He huffed impatiently, "Please?"
“I’m coming I’m coming!” He called back, a wide smile on his face. He hurried up the stairs, but definitely not as fast as Bennet. “I’ll be there in just a second…or maybe a minute.” He stopped for a quick break. “Have mercy on me, I’m carrying the food!”
Bennet rolled his eyes and he ran down the stairs over to where Connor was, "Oh come on, I'll take it." He grabbed some of the food from him, "It's not that bad, see?" He headed up the stairs, into the apartment and left the food on the counter, then began to set up his food while he waited for Coonor, although it really didn't take too long for the other guy to come in, "Wasn't that bad, right?" He chuckled as he turned on the TV.
“Nope it was awful and I’m dead now.” He exclaimed dramatically before falling onto the couch “BLAH I’m dead now you killed me”
Bennet chuckled at the overtop reaction, "You are crazy, so, so crazy. . ." He shook his head the other boy and sat down next to him, eating some of his soup, "And I'm sorry that I killed you, remind me to attend your funeral." He turned Hulu on and pulled up Golden Girls, "I'm sure you'll love this show!"
“You better be paying for my funeral.” He grumbled under his breath in fake annoyance. “Did you bring me my food or do I have to go get it?” He asked, looking up at Bennet with pleading eyes like ‘please say you’ll bring it.’
"HHmph, you're asking a broke guy who just got out of college to pay for a funeral? You really must have done something on the way up here." Bennet said as he finally got comfortable on the couch. When he heard Connor's request, he wrinkled his nose in fake annoyance, "No I didn't. . .but I guess I'll go get it for you." He grumbled a little as he stood up, "But, if I'm getting you the food, we're going to watch at least the first season of this show." He said happily as he brought Connor's food back, "Deal?"
“Deal!” He said happily, taking his food from Bennet. “Thank you Bennet.” He smiled over at him innocently, batting his eyelashes jokingly. He settled into the couch, somewhat near Bennet.
"Good," He said happily, "Most of my friends hated this show, so I hope you like it, it's such a great show, and so many good messages and Sophia is hilarious." He began to ramble on and on about the show, "Wait, you'd probably prefer to actually just see it. Wouldn't you?" He had a tendency to just talk a lot about things that meant a lot to him, especially this show, "But really, you better like it, if not, I'll be really mad at you."
“I will do my absolute best to like it.” He said solemnly, and then immediately ruined the tone by adding on, “pinky promise?” And sticking his pinky out for Bennet to shake. This was one of the many reasons why he didn’t fit in with other demons.
Bennet chuckled softly, then stuck out his pinky too, "Pinky promise." He was honestly a little surprised that Connor would do something like that. he just didn't seem like that kind of person, but then again, Bennet was that kind of person too, so he didn't really mind. He situated himself on the couch again and grabbed his bowl of soup, before he turned on the show. He had the rest of his food on the counter, but he wasn't all too hungry yet, and plus, if it got cold they did have a microwave, so it wouldn't be too bad.
Connor smiled and put his hand back down at his side. He got comfy, probably pulling a blanket up over himself as well. As the show started, he picked up his food and would continue to eat.
After about a couple of episodes Bennet got up to get the rest of his food, "Sooooo, what do you think of the show? It's amazing, isn't it?" He really hoped that Connor would like it almost as much as he did, or just a little bit too. He sat back down next to the guy all smiles as usual, "But, if you don't like it, is there anything that you would like to watch instead?"
“No I actually really like it so far.” He said. It kind of surprised him too, he wasn’t expecting to like it this much. He still had a bit of his food left, and was wishing there was a lot more.
"I'm glad you do, some people like it, and some people hate it, it's just. . .one of those things, I guess." He shrugged then turned to look at Connor, "Are you still hungry? You can some of mine, actually you can have all of mine, I don't really mind, I can make myself a sandwich or something. Here!"
“No, no, no I don’t want to take your food.” He insisted, pushing it back towards Bennet as he tried to hand it over. “I’ll just go see what I can find, it’s okay.” He stood up before Bennet could try and change his mind.
Bennet grumbled a little, but took his food back, "Fineeeeee, I guess. But what's the fun of having fun food if you have no one to share it with? Exactly, so at least take a little bit, it'll make me very happy." He tried using his puppy dog eyes on Connor, at least for added effect, "Come on man, you're not being any fun right now."
He let out a long dramatic sigh, giving in. “Fine. But just one bite, okay?” He sat back down on the couch, sulking like a little kid. But really he wasn’t that upset about it. He didn’t mind.
"Good." He said smiling, and took a big piece of his food -nearly half- then placed it on Connor's plate, "Here you go." He leaned back with a smirk, then began to eat the rest of it, "Isn't it good?" He pulled his legs up so that he was sitting crossed legged, "You know what?"
