| 013 : ... Romantic Feelings?

"Hmm, is there anything else you want to talk about?" Azazel asked Jack who thought of a subject to talk about. They were in a park within Golden Goose Avenue, feasting on some takeout they ordered from a nearby restaurant. "What about meals? Is there a particular meal that you like?" Jack asked Azazel who was mid-bite into her takeout noodles.

She paused for a moment, slurping the noodles before leaning back. "Oh, that's a complicated question to ask someone like me— I adore tons of foods, y'know," Azazel told Jack, still chewing on her noodles whilst she thought of what food she favored more amongst the others. "Really? I didn't peg you to be such a foodie— ehem, not in a rude way, of course. Just in general," Azazel glanced at Jack, her brow arched at his remark, but she immediately let it go to answer his question.

"Hm..., I like tons of things, Jack. I like pancakes, steak, carbonara but if I were to choose one favorite..." She turned to Jack, stars present in her eyes as she held her hands together. "It would be pizza!" Jack froze for a second, taken aback by her statement. She never took her for someone who'd enjoy something that greasy and heavy, he stared at her in disbelief before clearing his throat then asking her a question. "If pizza is your favorite then why did you insist on noodles? We were near a pizza vendor earlier"

Azazel took another slurp of her noodles, licking her lips and shrugging her shoulders. "I already had pizza yesterday, getting another one would be overkill" Jack shrugged, agreeing to her reason. Fair point, having too much of something isn't ideal for anyone

"True, too much grease would result in horrible breakouts." Thinking about his past acne breakouts still sends a shiver down his back, the uncomfortable urge to itch your pimples as an attempt to remove them and the scars they would leave. All of it is giving him goosebumps.

"...Do you have a specific pizza you like?" Jack asked Azazel, who shook her head at this. She held her chopsticks, grabbing her noodles with them. "Nope, but if you were to ask me what my go-to pizza is, it would be pepperoni pizza," Azazel answered as Jack nodded, staring into his takeout noodles.

Jack ate a small portion of his noodles, thinking to himself. "I heard a debate about pineapple being on pizza, do you have an opinion on this?" Jack asked Azazel who tilted her head to the side, letting out a hum before responding.

"I think it's foolish, honestly. Debating about whether pineapple belongs in pizza is not worth this amount of tension. Pizza pairs well with anything," Azazel confidently answered, her tone shifting at the end "Except for some diabolical ones..." Azazel muttered to herself, eyes darting towards the grass. The ending part of her statement made him curious, he shifted closer to her. Interest piqued and ears wide.

"Really? Please do give an example, mademoiselle" Azazel let out an exasperated sigh, her hand covering her face as she thought about her previous encounters with strange pizzas. "Well, there was one time when I impulsively bought a pizza with a fellow royal. The feast didn't end well. We barely finished the pizza before we had to gulp down gallons of water to wash down its sweetness." Azazel sighed, her fingertips massaging her temples, mentally preparing herself for the storytime.

Jack let out a chuckle. "Wait, what?"

"Okay, it started when a friend of mine and I were hungry. Naturally, we asked the staff if there were any restaurants nearby that could satisfy our hunger, they said yes and told us there was a new flavor of pizza from a certain restaurant. Thrilled, we ordered 2 boxes, and what arrived was a dessert pizza loaded with sugar." She set her takeout box aside, her hands making gestures whilst telling the story. "The pizza was loaded with different types of sweets. The sauce was chocolate, sweetened syrup as cheese, and varieties of candies as toppings. The first bite had me praying to whatever god is above to guide me before I make any attempts to consume it"
