- Elliot got the distinct feeling that he was being teased, followed shortly by the tell-tale rush of blood and heat reddening his cheeks. The blond worker at the autobody shop and his damn gorgeous arms and his damn tongue and that damn adorable cheshire grin... They moved closer to the cheapskate's version of a Vespa - same shape and size, but it might as well have been made of soup cans and tissue paper, if the chump change that Elliot had originally paid for it was any indication of its quality.
The blond car doc's diagnosis wasn't altogether promising, as far as Elliot could tell. His clunker was living past its expiry date, and it was probably going to cost him an arm and a leg to fix his baby. And then the blond even called him pretty - but he was trying to look less effected by that than he was, reaching up and scratching the back of his neck while another light blush spread across his face. "Thanks, man, really - for, um, your help..." Elliot said sheepishly, averting his gaze. "I know Flounder's not in great condition or anything, but I, I just, y'know, really don't want to give up on her."
...Okay, Elliot's brain to mouth filter needed to come online pronto. Did he just refer to his moped, out loud, as Flounder? Did he just indirectly admit to personifying is moped as a girl, and naming it after the fish sidekick character from an old Disney flick? Be more pathetic, self.
He was still in the middle of berating himself internally when he felt a tap on his shoulder, and when he turned around to face the person, his eyes went wide and he had to tilt his head back a bit to look up at them. Elliot was tempted to mentally classify this person as 'brutish', but that was mostly on account of the black eye and generally recently-beat-up appearance. "I, um, oh-o-okay?" He stuttered uncertainly. His knee jerk reaction was always betraying him with its inability to say no. He looked between the garage worker and the man pulling him away, feeling and looking a bit like a bewildered child.
