No need

You spun around a corner with you face stuck to your phone. You where terrible with directions so you had to depend of the very dumb gps that was installed onto your phone.

You shook your head, still trying to process what happened. Fatgum had asked you to join him for lunch, literally an hour after your incident at the boba tea place.

I can't believe I'm doing this! You thought to yourself, a bead of sweat rolling down your cheek. You had a hoodie on over a long sleeve shirt, mostly because the weather was getting colder by the hour.

"Hey! Y/n!" You look up in shock, who called you? But you relax at the sight of.... Skinnygum?

You tense up again, this is the second time you've seen him like this. Before you could think, he's lumbering down to you.

"I came out for some fresh air, and saw you"

"Good thing you did. I thought I was lost" You rub the back of your head, the small hairs on your neck where sticky with sweat.

"I hope your hungry!" Fatgum smiled softly, his large hand waving to the entrance of the restaurant.

Truth? You where still kinda full from that nice little breakfast. But the food smelled so good that your stomach instantly grumbled.

You smack a hand over your stomach, your cheeks lit up like a stoplight. Hushhhhh! My stomach sounds like a whale in mating season!

"Hah, guess that's a definite yes!" Fatgum smiled widely at you, like he did the last time we met.

"Heh, what gave it away?" You ask jokingly, your nervousness fading away slowly. The air seemed to soften around the two of you.

"Well let's head inside, I'm starving" Fatgum turned away, his long legs leading him to the door of the restaurant.

Once inside you glance around, it looked simple. The decor was cute, but the flowers that had been set at the entrance assaulted your nose. You clap a hand over your nose, the scent was super sweet and strong.

"Not a big fan of flowers?" Fatgum smiled, his golden eyes shining down at you.

"Not really, i don't like strong scented ones" Your nose scrunched up as you passed the flowers. Fatgum had led you to a considerable sized booth in the back of the restaurant.

Fatgum stood beside the table until you sat down, he waited patiently as you slid into the booth. You watched him slip into the seat in front of you, sitting face to face.

Your tried to not think about how skinny he was compared to his original chubby form, but couldn't help but ask.

"Why're you so skinny?" You blurt the words out, your hand smacking across your mouth to stay quiet. That kinda sounded mean, I don't wanna sound like a jerk.

He looked up with a gentle smile, his eyes shining in amusement at how your hand clapped across your mouth.

"Why're you so skinny?"

You looked up, not shocked at the question that was just asked. Your gaze gently skimmed the facial expression on Y/n's face.

"I used a lot of energy during a little squabble" You stopped for a moment, looking back at the menu. "I just need to regain that energy"

Y/n's hand slowly fell from her mouth, her e/c eyes showing a little more understanding.

Oh wow... her eyes are-
