DA note: I know IRL Earth paints but this is my universe so I am gonna change that.

And yes, I took that picture from Earth's IG.

          "Where are you taking me to?"

          Earth walked along Mix on the side path of a busy road even if it was only the evening of the weekend.

          "You'll know soon. But first," He stopped before a hot dog stall, "Let's grab a bite." Mix turned to the person making it, "Two please! One with mustard and—"

          He looked at Earth, "Ketchup." He said to the person who nodded, "You eat your hot dog with ketchup?"

          Earth looked at Mix with a done look, "You eat your hot dog with mustard?"

          "People eat their hotdogs with their dogs too, son, don't judge each other. Everyone's preferences are different." The man handed them the respective hotdogs while saying that.

          Mix smiled and paid as he exchanged the hotdog with money and Earth helped himself with his own.

          Walking away simultaneously after thanking the guy, Earth said,

          "See, that man has more common sense than you." And he sped up, taking a huge bite of his meal. Glaring at him— Or his back, Mix fastened his pace as well.

          "This is a famous museum plus an art gallery, you'll love this place," Mix said with enthusiasm,

          He looked at Earth's face, "Why have you brought me here out of all places on earth and on our first date?" He turned to Mix with displeasure written on his face,

          "Oh you forgot? Everyone's preferences are different, Earth." Mix looked away, his lips curling up,

          "See, that man has more common sense than you." He walked in the place with a savage look that a glaring Earth couldn't see.

          Banter like this went on as they went around the sculptures and such. Earth made funny faces standing by them and Mix giggled.

          He clicked many pictures of Earth and Earth even posed willingly for some.

          They had ventured into the art gallery section of the museum. While Mix enjoyed the said pieces of art, Earth could only make a face at them,

          There was this one particular painting with hues of Black, Brown and Red with a splash of White, Earth stood in front of, gazing deep at it. He just couldn't comprehend it as he, with creased brows, tilted his head at it.

          Mix noticed this and walked up beside Earth, "What are you thinking?" Without glancing at Mix, he started,

          "I just don't get it. Why do people paint something so pointless? There is nothing in this painting. Why is it at display? I don't get it."

          Mix glanced at the said painting. Earth's statement might feel right to someone who has no interest in paintings and whatsoever but if you look at it from a painter's perspective, there were many emotions, many feelings hidden deep within that painting.
