[teagan. @teadining]

temporary pinned.

[teagan. @teadining]

pouring herself a cup of tea…

[teagan. @teadining]

hmm .. ✨

[teagan. @teadining]

You want that?

( Teagan tilted her head and looked at shrimpo before having a soft loving smile on her face and she nodded. )

Chocolate cake it is then.

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

. . . Chocolate cake is good .

[ He moved slightly closer , taking a look at the options . Shrimpo hadn ' t noticed he was getting on Teagan ' s personal space . ]

[teagan. @teadining]

They have ice cream .. cake, mmm.. chocolate cake, that sounds good .. what else?

( She’s going through the options again, hmm.. so many choices. )

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

[ Teagan ' s giggle made him blush , but quickly looked away to hide it . ]

Uhm . . . wait .

[ Shrimpo ' s eyes lit up , weird sight . ]

Yes !

[teagan. @teadining]

. . .

( She let out a soft giggle, then she looked at the menu, looking through the food options and the dessert options. )

How about dessert?

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

. . . UH , YEAH !

[ He sighed , somehow looking more relieved . ]

I ALREADY KNEW THAT !
Just wanted to make sure or else we ' d have , uh . . . PROBLEMS ! Yeah . That .

[teagan. @teadining]

( Her face softened, she heard what he had said and turned to look at him. her shoulders and body had relaxed and she shook her head. )

Dear shrimpo, no.. I don’t hate you, you’re not one to be hated by me .. nobody is, do you know that?

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

[ Shrimpo opened his mouth , but ended up saying nothing else . Silence fell over , making him feel awkward .

He fidgeted with the hem of his shirt again , nervousness beginning to make him feel weird . ]

. . . Uh .

( 1 / 2 )

[teagan. @teadining]

. . . Mhm . .

( Her tone sounded disappointed, but she wasn’t disappointed in shrimpo. She finished up her cup of tea. )

I see.

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

TSK !! I definitely do that with . . . uh , / everyone / else ! I ' m just feeling . . . generous today , yeah .

[ Big lie . But oh well , he ' d never admit it . ]

[teagan. @teadining]

. . . Because you’re not telling me to leave, or shoving me or being utterly disrespectful. . . that’s why.

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

GRR . . . WHATEVER !

[ Shrimpo crossed his arms , his voice shivering slightly . ]

I HATE EVERYONE ! WHY DO YOU THINK YOU ' RE ANY DIFFERENT ? !

[teagan. @teadining]

( Teagan moved her hand away as she tilted her head slightly, watching as the others cheeks heat up. )

Usually when someone hates someone else, they don’t want that person around. sometimes hate can be cruel too..

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

[ Shrimpo ' s cheeks heated up at the touch — It looked like he was boiling . ]

Well , I- I , uh . . . err , uhm . . .

[ Shrimpo stuttered , pulling away right after . ]

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I DON ' T , HUH ? !

[teagan. @teadining]

( . . . She placed her hand above shrimpo’s head, gently setting it down atop of his head, getting another glimpse of him. )

You don’t hate me, do you?

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

YEAH ! I CAN HATE SOMETHING AND STILL DO IT .

I HATE YOU AND I ' M STILL HERE .

[ He looked down at the table again . He didn ' t know how to make a conversation without breaking his role at all . ]

[teagan. @teadining]

( Teagan took one small glimpse of shrimpo before closing her eyes and bringing the tea to her lips and taking a sip of it, sweeter than it once was. That’s how she sometimes likes it but not always. )

Is that so?

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

PSHHH . . . SO WHAT ? !
I can still hate it !

[ Shrimpo crossed his arms , letting out a huff . He looked at the cup Teagan was stirring , somehow distracted by it — The noises that the spoon made when hitting the delicate porcelain was . . . nice . ]

[teagan. @teadining]

Because you need food to survive, correct?

( She’s not even looking at him, she’s focused on the tea and her stirring the spoon inside the cup of tea until the sugar fully blended with the drink. )

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

Well , I HATE EVERYTHING !

[ He replied , occasionally glancing to look at Teagan , but just for short seconds . ]

. . . WHATEVER ! Why do / you / care ? !

[teagan. @teadining]

the sugar inside the tea, she grabbed a spoon and mixed the sugar particles into the tea to give it more sweetness. )

You shouldn’t hate food ..

[teagan. @teadining]

I am okay, are you sure you’re not hungry dearest? you need to eat.

( Unsure as to why he avoided eye contact, she avoided it too as to not make him nervous any further. Instead.. she stared at the cup of tea and grabbed a sugar packet, gently opening it and pouring —

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

[ He avoided eye contact . God , she was stubborn . . . not really , just kind , and that made Shrimpo nervous . ]

. . . I , uh . . . hate food . . ?

[ He quickly avoided the subject , putting away the menu . ]

Are you sure you ' re not going to eat anything ?

[teagan. @teadining]

gently taking the cup of tea back to her side of the table. She wanted to remain respectful. )

If you say so, have you found something that interests you?

[teagan. @teadining]

( Taken aback by the sudden yelling from shrimpo, her eyes widened for a split second before her face softened, eyes going back to their natural state. Teagan wasn’t upset or anything about how he reacted, nor could she blame him. She nodded her head and understood whilst —

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

Nah , it ' s okay .

[ He shrugged , putting the menu back in the table . ]

I ' m not that . . —

[ His eyes followed the teacup as it was slid through the table , but immediately waved his hand , denying the offer . ]

. . . It ' s okay , really . I , uhh . . .

( 1 / 2 )

[teagan. @teadining]

( Teagan’s eyes glanced at Shrimpo for a second before looking back at her cup of tea, she had set the cup of tea down and gently pushed it to Shrimpo. )

Would you like to try it dear? I could add more sugar if it’s not too sweet for your taste buds. Hmm?

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

[ Shrimpo ' s eyes glanced to look at Teagan . Ah , she looked so gorgeous , so elegant — He ' d never have a chance . ever . At least that was what he thought . ]

. . . I personally like it sweet , I guess .

( 1 / 2 )

[teagan. @teadining]

Is that so?

( Teagan already had a cup with her, filled with tea already as she gently held the handle of the cup, pinkie out as she took a sip of the tea, it was sweet but not too sweet.. it was just right. )

This tea is just right, perfect temperature.. sweetness..

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

. . . Err , alright .

[ He grabbed the menu and started acting like he was reading it , occasionally glancing at Teagan with the corner of his eyes . ]

YEAH , I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT ! ! !
I HATE MANY THINGS . EVERYTHING ! ! !

[teagan. @teadining]

Take your time and go over the menu, no rush.

( She seemed very patient with him, in fact she knew how nervous he was and she didn’t want him to feel like he was being rushed at all. )

I don’t blame you, i hate the weather sometimes too..

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

UH , OKAY .

[ His eyes moved to look at the menu , his hands figdeting with the hem of his shirt under the table . ]

YEAH , SHRIMPO IS ALWAYS OKAY ! ! !
IT ' S JUST . . . HOT IN HERE ! YEAH , I HATE THE WEATHER ! ! !

[teagan. @teadining]

Oh no, i’ve already had something beforehand. . . perhaps i’ll get a cup of tea instead.

( Teagan gently pushed the menu to shrimpo’s side of the table as she watched his cheeks turn a slight shade of red. )

You okay dear?

[— SHRIMPO! 🍤 @killyoruslef]

[ Shrimpo tensed up at the touch , flinching immediately . He felt a rush of nervousness , his cheeks immediately turning a slight shade red . ]

. . . Uh . Are . . . / you / hungry ?
