Fishes In The Sea-Chp36

[the duo made their way to the restaurant Wander had mentioned]

Wander: [to the receptionist] Table for two pls

Receptionist: (nod) Right this way. (leads them to their table)

Wander: Thank u [took his seat]

Hater: (also took his seat)

Wander; [browsed thru the menu] Hmm... Should I go for their pancakes or order something else... [mumbled to himself]

Hater: (also looked through the menu) (think)

Wander: So, uh, since ur here to refuel... I guess u won't be staying here long...?

Hater: Peepers put the other Watchdogs on shore leave, so...

Wander: I see... [was getting a little hot n bothered, feeling rather awkward right now]

Hater: (cleared his throat, looking back at the menu)

Wander: [in a rush to break the silence, hastily picked one breakfast n waved for the waiter] >///<

Waiter: Yes, may I take ur order?

Wander: Gimme this one [pointed at a random order]

Waiter: (surprised) Are... Are u sure abt tht?

Wander: Yes, yes, I'm sure. Just gimme that, n a chocolate milkshake

Waiter: OK... [writes dwn his order, then turns to Hater] N u, sir?

Hater: (think) Um, just give me the Shortstack, bacon on the side. And orange juice, too.

Waiter: (nod) [jotted the order dwn n left]

Wander: [looking ard, pretend to be interested in the interior] -///- ....

Hater: (fidgeted with his hands) ...

Wander: So.... H-How's things...?

Hater: Busy, conquering planets here and there...

Wander: U... Didn't get anybody hurt too badly, did u...?

Hater: (shake) No, not really.

Wander: Good, good, that's good... [swing his legs that's dangling off the big chair he's sitting] (think)

Hater: (scratched a spot behind his head) So, um...

Wander: Yeah...?

Hater: About...that talk...?

Wander: Umm... Yeah...? [his heart started pounding a bit]

Hater: (bit his lip) I mean, if you'd rather wait just a little longer...

Wander: Well... I, uh... I'm... (worry) [sees the waiter coming] Ah! Here's our order! Great! ...woah, wat?

[The waiter puts a huge tray with pancakes n waffles stacked up high, with a huge jug of cream n another with maple syrup, n ice cream in a huge bowl on the side, n his order of milkshake]

Wander: Umm, wats this...?

Waiter: Ur order, sir. The jumbo-tron stacks breakfast set

Wander: I didn't order... [remembered his hasty decision on the menu] Ohh...

Hater: :O Whoa...

Waiter: Enjoy ur meal [left]

Wander: (facepalm) Stupid, stupid, stupid me... (doh)

Hater: ... Wanna share?

Wander: U... U sure? It's quite a lot tho...

Hater: Well, it's worth a try at least.

Wander: Alright, if u insist [pushed his food to the center of the table, requested an empty plate before taking his share of the food]

Hater: :$ (takes his share)

Wander: (thinks: Oh my fucking gob, this is soooooo embarrassing! Uuuuggghhh~~~) >///< [started shoveling the food into his mouth to try n drown out this cringey moment]

Hater: (takes bites of his food)

 Wander: [choked a little on his food he kept shoveling n quickly drank his milkshake to wash it dwn] (think: Aaaaggghhh~~~ I'm making things even worse...!!!) >///<

Hater: (glanced) Uh, Wander...?

Wander: [coughed to clear his throat a bit, then looked up sheepishly] Yes?! Ahem, I mean, yes...?

Hater: Should slow down there. ^^;;

Wander: Eheh, uhh, yeah... ^^;; [went bk to eating, tho inside he felt like crying from embarrassment]

Hater: (also ate)

Wander: [ate in awkward silence]

Hater:...How's Sylvia?

Wander: Oh, she's fine, she's actually hanging out with Dominator... Uhh... [just realized maybe it wasn't the best time to mention them]

Hater: She's...with Dominator?

Wander: Umm, well, they're just hanging out, u know, like buddies, gal pals, u know wat I mean ^^;;

Hater: (think) Mhm...

Wander: Umm, u... Ur okay tho?

Hater: ... Dominator's moved on from me, so it wouldn't really be a surprise if she and Sylvia became an item.

Wander: I see, well, glad u hv moved on too, sorta (think: (whew) Phew! Thank grob he didn't freak out)

Hater: Yeah, you could say that.

Wander: [ate in awkward silence again, then suddenly...] BUUURRRPPP!!!

Hater: :O!

Wander: Eheheh ^///^;; Excuse me. I guess I've had my fill

Hater: ... (giggle) Hehehehe

Wander: .... (giggle) Ehehehehehe...

Hater: :)

Wander: (blush) Umm, so how do u like the food here? Pretty good eh?

Hater: (nod) It is.

Wander: [sees his order] There's still quite a lot left tho, a shame to leave them uneaten

Hater: Mhm... (lets out a burp of his own)

Wander: I guess doggy bag it is [waved for the waiter] Can we pack the rest to go, pls?

Waiter: Sure [takes the leftover food to be packed]

Hater: :$

[a moment later, the waiter returned with the doggy bag]

Waiter: Here u go, sir

Wander: [takes the bag] Thanks. Shall we make a move, Hate?

Hater: (nod) Yeah, sure.

[the duo left the restaurant together]

Wander: Oh, wait a moment (wait) [walks ahead to a small alley]

Hater: ? (waits anyhow)

Wander: [moments later, shows up without the doggy bag] OK, I'm done (smile)

Hater: Where'd the bag go?

Wander: I just remember tht there's a homeless family tht I saw the other day wen I was exploring ard the area here, n since the food won't taste good wen it gets cold, I might as well give it to them while it's nice n warm. Nvr hurts to help, right? (laugh)

Hater: Oh, right, that motto of yours... Yeah, guess it doesn't hurt helping someone. (looked away)

Wander: Umm, u OK there, Hatey?

Hater: Y-yeah, I'm good. Just feeling stuffed.

Wander: Then let's go take a walk, burn off all that calories, eh? I know a park nearby, great view of the sea

Hater: (nod) OKay.

Wander: [unconsciously reached to hold Hater's hand n led him to their destination]

Hater: :$ (walked alongside Wander)
