Hi :) I'm 21 years old, I live in a country called Ukraine. To relax, I like to watch interesting movies, and I have a lot of different serialy.I hav many slash and get OTP. posts on a regular basis that will show up at my channel. On my page on YouTube...
The guy nods, bites his lip. Fucking hell, why does the air in here feel so dry? Jesus.
It smells really good up at the counter. The plate of Mystery Baked Good is no longer steaming, but Eddie peers at it anyway while the guy points to the card machine, says it’s ready to tap. He notices Eddie’s gaze.
“Eating on the job,” he smiles. “Unprofessional, I know.”
Eddie puts his phone up to pay, waits for the ping. “Nah, not at all. Smells fuckin’ unreal though, you make that?”
“Yeah. It’s pretty old school- I’ll put anything in a pie if it grows out back, even rhubarb.”
“Rhubarb?” Eddie inquires.
“You haven’t- you’ve not tried rhubarb before? I think it’s more of a thing in like, Europe to be fair. It’s just easy as fuck to grow. Tastes real good stewed or in pie or cake.”
Eddie nods. Rhubarb. He’ll be investigating this Rhubarb later.
“Do you- want to try some?”
Eddie blinks. So does Hot Guy- it kind of looks like he asked that question without meaning to, because his face freezes and then goes all red.
“I mean-”
“Yeah. If you’re offering.”
Is that weird? It’s probably weird, to accept pie from a random dude in a store that could have god knows what in it. Especially when you’re technically a celebrity. But weird is kind of his MO, so fuck it.
The guy pushes the plate towards him, fork dangling off the edge. It’s untouched, still warm.
He tries not to overthink it as he scoops a chunk off the edge, puts it in his mouth. He sees the guy's eyes widen ever so slightly. Fuck this pie is good- the flavour is sharp, tangy, the pastry crust sweet and soft. Unreal.
“You have a tongue piercing,” the guy blurts out. Eddie stares. Swallows the pie.
“Uh. Yes?”
“Cool.”
And then-
“I’m Steve, by the way.”
Critical hit! Name unlocked.
“Well, Steve,” Eddie grins, “that’s the best fuckin’ pie I’ve eaten in a long time. And I’m Eddie.”
