mom: emmet! come here for a sec! (/waves emmet over, holding up a dish)
one sec - ￭.picks up the discarded teapot and returns it to the counter, taking the dish from his mother ) who's this for? i didn't pick up any orders?
mom: it's for him - (/motions to piper's table) he's always at our shop and always studying alone. thought we could give this appetizer as a treat. you should make friends with him! maybe he'll influence better studying habits on you.
￭.mocks a scoff before shaking his head with a light laugh ) i think i study perfectly fine! ￭.walks away from the kitchen, returning to piper and placing the dish down ) this is on the house - my mom says so. ￭.points his thumb behind him at the japanese woman scurrying around behind the counter ) i can pack it up to go if you're full - but hey, about that project. i'm usually working here after school until seven, we can maybe meet up somewhere to do it?

oh, his mom owns this place. so, it’s not like he’s just working here because, huh? oh .. that’s cool .. it’s .. uh it’s a really nice shop and the noodles are always on point • nods, taking another sip kyle .. right • he doesn’t react because he doesn’t know the guy, on the contrary, he does, he just doesn’t particularly care for the guy or anyone in class for that matter. nonetheless, he keeps nodding along and glancing back and forth between the book and emmet. however, he takes the opportunity to stare at that pretty wavy black hair so nice .. uh, well .. • glancing off to the side, he swallows a bit, contemplating on what exactly to say and he can only sigh as this just became something really troublesome no .. it’s not like that or anything. i just kinda figured it’d be easier and faster doing it by myself … • blinks, his brows twitching as he takes note of the clear difference in liveliness between them his smile is really nice too … • his mind starts to wander again, but he quickly catches himself and lets his eyes travel up emmet’s torso - heh it seems they had traveled on their own, back to his face; notes the offended look and roll of the eyes i mean, i doubt she’d as — • his speech is so soft-spoken it almost sounds like he’s mumbling. either way, he’s silenced as emmet is called for. his eyes trail after him, his fingers lightly pinching his earlobe as he decides to go back to reading. it’s not like he’s coming back anyway, right?
• glances at the dish that appears on the table before looking up at emmet with a puzzled expression uh, i didn’t ord — oh. • blinks, staring at emmet a little before letting his eyes follow the direction of his thumb. he leans over to the side a little to get a better view of his mother uh, yeah, sure. god i was afraid you’d say that … um i … • fiddles with his earlobe, looking everywhere but at emmet as he feels a little uncomfortable and pressured i mean what am i supposed to say .. i really don’t want to. it’d be so much easier and less complicated if i’d just get it over with by myself, but what am i supposed to do … ugh, this sucks … i mean .. it’s really not that big of a deal and it’s not like the project is anything serious. like, it’s not even a project that needs to be in groups so — • he glances back at emmet and he frowns a little, realizing that he’s probably not going to get off the hook with this one you know i don’t really have any hangout spots except for here. so, i wouldn’t be able to tell you where to meet up or anything … • he averts emmet’s gaze, his body feeling much like a melting clock at this point

i mean how am i supposed to know? i don't really get it either ... uh ... • parting his lips as if to speak, they're shut immediately as the idea of going over emmet's house, a person's house for that matter, dawns on him and, ultimately, sparking the nerves. as emmet starts to walk off, he quickly takes the opportunity to search the library hours on his phone; his eyes scan the screen it closes at eight but by the time we'd leave and get there ... uh, huh, what? • looks up at emmet, slightly startled - not because of his sudden reappearance but more so to the fact that he's internally freaking out uh ... • swallows, his thumbs resting on the screen of his phone what am i supposed to do .. why's he's so persistent about this stupid project like seriously ... • truthfully, he's wishing he could become one with the booth, letting it swallow him whole, but he expels a heavy sigh, as if admitting defeat well, the library closes at eight and there's no way we'd make it from here to there in time so, um, i guess .. your house .. works .. • his fingers go back to absentmindedly fiddling with his lobe, his over all exterior pretty dismissive; internally feeling like he's being chewed and spit out

mom: piper! piper .. hey, hey, hey -- ( / pulls piper back, gripping his forearm as she stares at him with knitted brows ) what's the matter with you? don't just walk passed me, avoid me. don't come in here like that ( / shakes her head, sighing and smacking her lips - piper merely keeps his eyes downcast - as she lets go of his arm and looks around the, expectedly, messy space ) so, did you eat something? there's food.
i ate so -- what are you doing? • leans back a little as his mother suddenly draws her face close to his, staring into his eyes intently um ... mom this is kind of .. weird could you not ...
mom: you seem stressed out, are you stressed out? your energy's all over the place and you can't be like that, i can't have your aura doing these crazy things ( / shakes her head, her thumb pressed to her lip as she glances him up and down )
oh god, not this again. mom, it's cool that you're into all of this .. stuff .. spiritual stuff, but there's nothing going on with my "aura" or "chi" or whatever you're always talking about. now, please, i just really want to get back to work and -- • is silenced immediately as his mother gives him a light peck to his forehead, rubbing the back of his head and when she pulls away she offers a smile that could only be described as a mother's glow
mom: alright, i get it, i get it. i'll leave you alone in your space. they're coming out beautifully by the way, the china ( / she takes a sip of her tea, glancing round the space once more before turning and exiting into the hall )
• his eyes trail after his mother's figure, sighing as his hands rest at his neck and he rolls - hoping to loosen the tension as he walks over to some assorted plates, bowls, and teacups; he sits on the tiled floor, taking a teacup in hand as he begins to paint it, losing himself in his wandering thoughts this is so lame ... i can't even get him out of my head and this time it's not even for a good reason. why ... why did he have to notice me? especially now? it's kind of late in the game man. i just want to touch you and marvel at your awesome body and awesome face and just make something beautiful ... not this dumb project ... ugh, whatever, focus ... focus
--
• yawns, rubbing his eye with the ball of his hand as he comes to a stop on his bike - leaning over as he presses for the crosswalk. while waiting, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out the paper; he reads the address mm, i should be pretty close right now. ugh, god, why did i even agree to this, why am i even pulling through with this? i could've just bailed and finished the plate ... what a pain ... • rides for a few more minutes before coming to a stop, hopping off the bike, his eyes skimming over the home mm, let's see 422 -- yup, this is definitely it. • stares at the home a little more, sighing and frowning a bit as he can feel the pressure rising. he leaves his bike lying down on the ground as he hesitantly walks up to the door. he runs a hand through his hair, staring down at his mistreated white tank - complete with clay and paint stains, his cuffed-jeans ripped, and his keds long overdue. over all, he was pretty sure he was not presentable; he knocks on the door please, just don't be home or something ...
