xx✯ Wʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀᴍ I? Hobbit Hideout
xxx✯ Wʜᴏ ɪs ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴇ? Tzuki, Sierra!
xxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴏɴ? First Date!
xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? I'm so freaking excited!
Lewis was setting out the baked goods, along with a couple plates and forks when the doorbell chimed. He whipped his head up, sending over a grin. It was Sierra! That meant it was finally time for this whole shebang to begin. She was dressed up cute, not to mention wearing his (or now, her) jean jacket. It brought up all those weird fluttery feelings again, but thankfully, he'd since figured out what it was.
When she stepped over, Sierra immediately asked about the snack tray. "Yes! I got a variety, since I wasn't sure what treats you might like. They're all still warm. Also, Theo charged me extra, which I found to be rude." He teased, remembering having told her that Theo usually gave discounts. It was true he usually did, but this was a rush order.
Lewis laughed when Sierra commented on his appetite. "You're fine, I've got ice coffee. Also I just got here like two minutes ago, so I'm fine for another... eight or so." It wasn't like his voracious appetite wasn't well known, after all. Just about everyone knew he could eat a ton and he almost constantly had snacks on him.
He glanced over at the board game wall, then happily signed over a recommendation. "Tzuki said we can do any of the puzzles, then if we don't finish, we can either take it back with us or we can come back tomorrow to finish up. She also got a bunch of new ones, including some that have puzzles-within-puzzles, which sounds amazingly difficult. But it's all up to you!" He reached out a hand toward Sierra, wanting to look at the puzzle wall. Honestly, he wasn't nearly as quick with jigsaw puzzles as his siblings, and he was certain Sierra was going to be way better too.

That the world could make a change  Hufflepuff Seventh Yeɑɾ ♀️ Dɑily Drɑgon Editor Alwɑγs Wɑtching ☆¸¸ .•*¨★Sierra preened under Lewis' large smile and noticeable look over as he observed her outfit, perhaps paying a bit more attention to the denim jacket. He'd made good on his promise and had gifted it for her to do whatever she wanted. It had taken a few days of brainstorming to narrow it down to a few designs and then another to fully sketch and paint the fabric but she was more than happy with the results. She's also hoping she could sweet talk-or simply steal-another jacket to do her other ideas. All in good time.
Sierra just hummed and nodded as Lewis excitedly went over the variety of snacks he'd provided, making sure to add that his special inside person had actually charged him extra causing her to snicker. Maybe there was a hierarchy in this family business of his. She'd have to ask one day. When he also laughed and responded to her teasing by explaining he'd gotten an iced coffee and hadn't been waiting long, she made sure to dramatically wipe her brow.
"That does make me feel a bit better. Wouldn't want you wasting away before the date even started." Sierra signed, barely controlling her snickering. The iced coffee was also a really good idea, she'd have to order some after they picked out a puzzle. She nodded along to the explanation, her eyes actually widening at the idea of a puzzle within a puzzle, before she let her hand be taken and her body pulled over to the game wall. She wanted to pick something fun, not too many clashing colors or designs. When she saw the 3D puzzles, that's where her interest got sparked and she grabbed a box off the wall to show Lewis with a questioning look.

xxx✯ Wʜᴏ ɪs ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴇ? Tzuki, Sierra!
xxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴏɴ? First Date!
xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? IA 3D puzzle?
Lewis noticed Sierra's smile, feeling his cheeks warm up a bit. That smile, once a sure sign of friendship now felt so much more. As she showed off the jacket she'd painted up, he couldn't help but make a mental note that he should definitely wear, then pass over to her, more jackets. It turned out super good! Maybe he should try painting on some of his already paint covered clothes. Not like he didn't have plenty. Or maybe he could dig through his clothes and find more jackets that were a little too short for his arms. It'd be awesome just to see her wear them, painted or otherwise.
As he explained the fancy snack spread, he realized he probably should've gotten her something to drink too. Thankfully, the game shop had a wonderful cafe. "I can order you an ice coffee too, or any other drink. They have a nice little snack bar here, and I'd be glad to get you something. Tzuki can't read sign, and she's already stressed with me." He laughed at that, knowing Tzuki liked him... probably. She seemed to like him, but he wasn't exactly the best people-reader sometimes.
"I also had a big breakfast. So we can eat lunch at a normal time. No wasting away, probably." He teased that time, adding the 'probably' just for her. It wasn't like she hadn't teased him for his voracious appetite before. Most people had. Their attention was changed, now shifting to the large variety of puzzle boxes. He was examining some based on classic artworks, but they numbered 1,000 pieces or more. That'd take forever! When a box rattled beside him, he looked over, seeing Sierra holding a puzzle and sending him a look. "Oooh, 3D? A whole dimension more than normal puzzles! Let's give it a go." He led her back over to the small table, pulling out the wheely chair for her to sit in so they could get started. "I can go get you a drink before we get started. Anything you want? I got a caramel mocha with extra chocolate." He signed over, leaning over the other chair while waiting to see if he'd need to go fetch her something too.

That the world could make a change Hufflepuff Seventh Yeɑɾ ♀️ Dɑily Drɑgon Editor Alwɑγs Wɑtching ☆¸¸ .•*¨★Sierra visibly brightened as Lewis suggested ordering a drink for her since it'd be close to impossible for her with both her's and Tzuki's impairments. Again, she found herself snorting as he mentioned that the owner was already stressed out by the tall teenager though it was probably closer to fond exasperation than anything. She'd yet to find someone who actively disliked the artist (for a moment she'd thought it might've been Afon but after awhile she just found out he suffered from extreme RBF).
As much as she had teased him for it, Sierra was actually relieved he hadn't been withholding himself for their date's sake and had actually remembered to eat...unlike someone else. In her defense, she'd been really nervous! And when she was nervous she couldn't eat! Her stomach could barely handle the tea she'd managed to choke down, she'd been afraid what actual food would do. Now though, she was sure if she didn't have at least two of those cupcakes she'd start gnawing at her nails which she absolutely did not want to do. It had taken far too long for her liking to figure out how to make sure the glue resin cured correctly.
Sierra grinned brightly as Lewis also took a liking to the 3D puzzle she'd found and barely fought back a blush with a roll of her eyes as he actually pulled a chair out for her. Once again, her eyes lit up eagerly at the idea of iced drink, especially for the one he'd recommended. "Could I have the same but with salted caramel instead please?" she asked, grin still bright. She also unconsciously eyeing the sweets praying her grumbling stomach couldn't actually be overheard.

xxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ's ɢᴏɪɴɢ ᴏɴ? First Date!
xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? Coffee and Muffins make for a great morning!
Lewis was quite glad that Sierra seemed her usual self. She seemed mostly happy to be there, and probably somewhere near her usual sass. It truly meant that he hadn't screwed up his whole entire friendship by asking her on a date. Sure, he was so nervous he felt like his heart might just forget how to beat, but that was fine. The sheer amount of caffeine he consumed on the daily would probably be worse. And sure, he was expecting to stress-eat ninety percent of the baked goods he'd collected, but honestly, that wouldn't be far different from his usual appetite anyway, especially while studying for NEWTs.
But thankfully, his train of thought was stopped by Sierra finding a puzzle. He took a sip of his own coffee while she signed over her order. "One salted caramel mocha, extra caramel, coming up." He signed over after setting down his drink. He paused in his walking, gently kissing Sierra's temple in a way very reminiscent of his own dad's affection. He hurried over to the counter and ordered, paying for the drink as well. He glanced back at Sierra, a small, if dopey, smile sliding onto his face. His reverie was only broken by a small whistle from the barista. "Thanks. Thank you." He said, walking with long strides back to the table. He set it down beside Sierra before plopping in the other seat. "Boom. Extra caramel. Do you want to pick a treat first? Because those muffins are calling my name." He chuckled softly, wondering which of the food would be her first choice. Thankfully, there were a ton to choose from.

The knowledge that Lewis liked her back almost seemed forbidden at the beginning, but over the last few days as she'd allowed it to simmer it settled warmly into her chest. She was still nervous as hell but it was more so an excited nervousness than her thinking this would all fall through. She beamed up at him as he recounted her order and as she went to take her seat, flushed scarlet at the kiss to her temple. She barely had time to do more than flop into the chair and stop herself from rolling backwards, let alone sign something. That suave sonuvabitch! She was so intent on getting control of her fumbling emotions that she missed the looks directed at her from the counter.
When Sierra was finally able to get her heartrate to a low gallop and her cheeks were just pleasantly red than in danger of starting a fire, Lewis thankfully showed up with her drink. She happily took it in hand to take a few long grateful sips, partially for thirst and partially for...thirst. She only came up for air at Lewis' question on which sweet she wanted first which of course had her hand immediately going for a cupcake. "I'm pretty sure my stomach has been calling out for these since I got here." she admitted with a chuckle. She pulled down part of the paper wrapping to take a big bite, feeling some icing getting on her nose but she didn't care from the soft sweet flavors she was experiencing. Whoever this family member was definitely deserved the upcharge!

xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? How the heck do we solve a 3D puzzle?
When Sierra collected a cupcake, Lewis grabbed a triple berry muffin. Theo, he knew, was a phenomenal baker, and his muffins were somehow the best muffins on the face of the earth. "Yea, Theo's fantastic. He can bake anything you could possibly ask for. He even sent strawberry muffins over after Wen got braces. Between Theo and my great uncle Kalin, plus Nan, my grandparents.... I think food just runs through the family." He chuckled softly. He'd even learned how to cook from helping everyone else in the kitchens. His favorite to cook with would always be Nan though, because she had taught him to make the world's greatest meal. Mac & cheese, baby.
He looked over at Sierra with a small grin before signing over. "You've got frosting on your nose, there." He tapped his own nose, flashing a wink her direction. After finishing his muffin, Lewis carefully upended the puzzle box, letting the pieces clatter over the table. Oh wow. It was all the colors of the rainbow, in swirls together. There was also a base, probably since the puzzle formed a ball. "Alright, you're the puzzle-master. Where do we begin? Sorting, probably? Or do we just go gung-ho?" His dark eyes twinkled with excitement, but he wanted to do this right. He'd probably manage to solve the puzzle in a way that Sierra might find stressful. He never had been very organized, after all.

That the world could make a change Hufflepuff Seventh Yeɑɾ ♀️ Dɑily Drɑgon Editor Alwɑγs Wɑtching ☆¸¸ .•*¨★Sierra's cheek bulged from how quickly she had forced the cupcake into her mouth which was the only reason she didn't immediately call Lewis out for how quickly he'd swallowed that muffin. She could tell from the way he spoke about his family members that their overarching love language was definitely food, which had her thinking maybe it was good time to try brushing up her own skills. She wasn't terrible (she at least didn't think so) but she always wasn't as comfortable cooking and baking as Lewis was so she'd have to work on it. Maybe it could be a little surprise for them later.
As she was finishing her sweet, Sierra saw the other's signing and blushed a bit remembering she had felt some icing stick onto her nose earlier. She grabbed a napkin to lightly rub it off, giggling a bit to herself as she did. "I guess I was a bit hungrier than I thought." she signed after she was done, grin still in place. It was nice that this was Lewis and not anyone else; had she been on a date with another boy, this would've probably been her thirteenth reason and she would've found a way to either melt under the table from embarrassment or just hide in the bathroom until the guy ultimately left. Lewis though she's known almost half her life at this point, if she ran away or hid every time one of them did something slightly embarrassing they'd be playing the world's longest game of hide and seek. (And not to brag, but she's never been caught).
Sierra was brought out of her thoughts to seeing all the puzzle pieces now on the table and Lewis asking her how to begin and suggesting sorting which she nodded to. "Sorting is definitely a must, especially since this one is all colors and no definitive shapes. So I think it'll be easier to just put the pieces in groups by colors and then start from there." If she'd been doing this by herself, she would also go a step further and separate the pieces that were blended colors as well but she figured that was a little much for their first try. Waayyy better than just dropping in head first though, the lil stinker.

xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? Oh boy, sorting
Lewis was happily snorfing down his muffin, excited for even more foods. Maybe for their next date, he could make a big dinner for them both. He could flip through Nan's cookbook and try to find something perfect. Thankfully, Sierra also seemed to be in a hurry to snack on the baked goods. So much so she made a little mess. After cleaning it up, she commented on her hunger. "Well, there's plenty to eat. Don't hesitate. I doubt your appetite can outpace mine." he signed over, chuckling at the words. It wasn't exactly a secret that he could eat a ton and still be hungry. It was definitely a note of contention for Mum, who had two incredibly tall, incredibly hungry people to feed.
After he'd dumped the pieces onto the table, Sierra noted that sorting was a must, since it was just colors. Oh fun. "Sorting. Coolio. I love being organized." That one was teasing, and if signing could have a deadpan tone, his words would have been. But, sorting he did. He started with blues, but they faded into greens so quickly. It was going to be a super fun puzzle, even if he struggled with it. Honestly, Su, Rosa... even Wen would probably be a better puzzle buddy, but hey, he had to get good. Maybe he'd do a puzzle with the sibs over the summer? He could buy one of those huge ones to do together. "I can see why you like this. And hey look, these two fit together!" Lewis offered over two blue pieces interlocked. Maybe he'd be better at this than he thought! As long as it didn't get too busy, loud enough for his synesthesia to act up... but then, he brought his quieting earplugs, just in case. Not like he and Sierra needed verbal communication, after all.

We kill the girls to get paid
And put the whole damn room on the edge of the blade
You'll get far, stay clean
And if the world stops believing, I'll keep believing
That the world could make a change Hufflepuff Seventh Yeɑɾ ♀️ Dɑily Drɑgon Editor Alwɑγs Wɑtching ☆¸¸ .•*¨★Sierra just shot a Look at Lewis and rolled her eyes while still reaching for another cupcake. She hadn't met anyone who could keep up with the taller teen in regards to food and quite frankly she wasn't sure she wanted to. Her hand froze for a split second as she was peeling away the cupcake paper as her mind unabashedly quipped, "I hope our kid doesn't for our sake." ******** EXCUSE ME?! Absolutely not. Not on the first date Whitethone, pull yourself together! Imagine what your mother would say if she could hear your thoughts! Worst! Imagine what that pole of a man would think hearing that! Thankfully it was only one stray thought that she hurriedly and unrepentantly threw in a weighted locked box in the ocean of her mind then went back to unrepentantly eating her sweet. The audacity.
Sierra couldn't help but snicker at Lewis' teasing enthusiasm regarding the sorting, but it couldn't be helped. It'd be a mess if they didn't. "Aren't you supposed to avoid lying on dates?" she asked before starting to sort her own piles. Since he was working on blues and greens, she would work on the reds and oranges and possibly meet somewhere in the middle. She looked up again to see her friend commenting on why she would enjoy puzzles and even happily showed off a pair he managed to connect. She very graciously applauded his efforts with a cheeky grin.
"It's surprisingly relaxing isn't it? You can just let your mind wander while working so you're not stressing out or worrying about school, or clubs, or some cute idiot who won't leave you alone..." Was this flirting? Could Sierra count it as flirting if she called him an idiot? Eh, she figured it was fine.
Hail! Hail!
'Cause the king is gone
And if you don't stop believing, we'll keep believing
You put the record on
And live the life that you're making, shots that you're taking
So grab the cash and run

xxxxx✯ Wʜᴀᴛ'ʀᴇ ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs? So puzzles for her are painting for me
While Lewis was working on sorting pieces, he noticed Sierra eating another cupcake. Next time, he'd make sure to get more of those. It was clear that she liked them. Then again, Theo did make some fantastic cupcakes. It was good to know either way, though, since he anticipated a few more dates before the end of the year. Not to mention being sure his family was going to throw a giant party for him and Su's graduation. Heck, they'd almost certainly invite Sierra along, not only since she was also a grad, but because they were officially dating (and Sierra was a well trusted and liked friend before that, not to mention!)
After saying he loved organization, Sierra promptly quipped back to say they weren't supposed to lie on dates. That made Lewis laugh. "Oh right, because you had no idea that I'm a messy mess." He signed the words, wrinkling his nose as he made faces toward Sierra. After all, half the benefit of signing was being expressive, right? He went back to work in finding pieces, adding a few blueish purples to his collections. She had taken the other half of the color wheel, organizing the warm tones in far more precise piles than his own.
Lewis showed off a few pieces he'd found to click together and got rewarded with a grin. Cool! He watched her sign about the relaxation puzzles provided her, apparently serving as a distraction in ways that his painting often did for him. It was extra funny when she implied he was a cute idiot. "So just me with painting, right? Let my mind wander into a whirl of colors... lately there's been a lot of a certain magenta in the mix." He sent over a softer smile as he signed, feeling his cheeks warm just a bit. His colors tended to follow wherever his thoughts went, including into the tones of others.

That the world could make a change Hufflepuff Seventh Yeɑɾ ♀️ Dɑily Drɑgon Editor Alwɑγs Wɑtching ☆¸¸ .•*¨★After Sierra demolished her second cupcake, the worst of her hunger had abated and she decided to wait a bit before choosing another snack to try. That and she hated having sticky fingers while trying to do a puzzle. Maybe she could ask the mystery relative to commission some for her graduation. She was sure her parents weren't going to want to do anything too big but considering both of their relatively large families, that wasn't going to happen. She could probably ask for a smaller more intimate party with just immediate family, friends, and maybe a few cousins she was close to before the big hullabaloo which these cupcakes would definitely be a big hit.
When Lewis quipped back sassily that she had no idea how messy he was just had her rolling her eyes skyward. Goddess why did she have to find him attractive. "Right, because I never had to redo an entire newspaper because someone got paint all over my first edition." Was she really still salty about it? Not really since it was only the print and not the actual copies that were supposed to go out. But did she enjoy throwing it back into his face? Obviously. Even more so now that they were capital D Dating. They worked in their usual comfortable silence as they slowly moved from sorting to matching and clicking in place the different pieces. She unfortunately nearly broke a piece from the force of her spaz as Lewis decided this was the best time to flirt because he obviously hated her. Obviously. "You stop being cute right now or I'm grabbing the holographic puzzle next." Sierra threatened, which unfortunately for her was undercut by her blush and inability to not smile. Ugh at this rate Lewis was going to make her soft and then what would she do with her carefully crafted outer persona?!
