it was six in the morning and ember lowell was awake. he had never woken up before seven in his life, he was sure his mom would probably be proud of him, but the fact was that the sleep he got the night before was restless and unfulfilling, so his body woke him up with the sunrise.
he decided to go try and make himself some waffles, but he was never that good at cooking, and the toaster somehow began to smoke. he promptly started freaking out, going into panic mode about what he should do. he grabbed a dish towel and made it damp, throwing it over the small fire to try and kill it before it spread to anywhere else in the apartment.
it was this moment when he realized that someone else was in the kitchen, echo. “oh, um, i’m sorry, i didn’t mean to, um, it’s out now and i’m going to clean this up, i promise.” // starter for @echohuxley
