Honestly though Burning Desire makes me laugh so damn hard. It could make my faves list from the comedy factor alone. The sheer number of Stock Horror Movie Omens hovering around Agnes are simply…uncountable, and this random dude just blatantly ignores every single one. Guy is a bit weird, but mostly he just seems to have good intentions and a one-track mind and no survival instincts of any sort at all whatsoever.
It doesn’t matter that she never drinks the coffee she buys and it remains scalding hot after standing for an hour and his boss hints that she’s been coming to the shop for fifteen years and hasn’t aged, she’s cute and he has a crush and that’s that, thank you very much.

He gets ominously warned that she’s trouble, she burns through a guy’s arm, she leaves scorch marks on her seat and he Just. Doesn’t. Care. A woman covered in terrifying tattoos of damned sinners burning in the fires of hell comes up, talks to her about a ‘job’ and hands her an unmarked envelope full of money, and all he thinks is “Hey, she is social after all! She talks to people! Maybe she’ll talk to me! :)”
Like Christ dude at the least you should be worrying if she’s some sort of mafia princess or something after that, but no.
Overwhelming sense of impending doom when asking her out? Gets blown away by happiness when she says yes.
She shows up at his door, even though he never told her where he lives? He waves it off.
A spider web literally spontaneously combusts as he’s getting ready and his response is, and I quote: “It was weird, but I had more important things on my mind.”
And I mean that’s honestly really adorable but IT SET ITSELF ON FIRE JACK
