You were sitting on the chair next to Onceler, with your legs resting under the mid rail of the chair and your hands are resting on the top back. (i hope you get the position 😭) as he was once again making his delicious pancakes that could've made anybody drool at the slightest sight of it. He hummed some soothing tune, making his silly movements while you were watching him.
"Oncie," you called suddenly. With a swift move, he put the pan on it's place as he put another pancake in the plate. He turned his head on you, slightly tilting it.
"Hmm?" he cooed. You looked at him, standing up from the chair and came closer, as you leaned on the table, now facing him.
"What if we have a picnic? Like, in the forest! It would be so cool!!" You exclaimed happily.
"Uh-huh, and the animals will consume everything along with the plates before we even manage to blink? No way!" He scoffed, lifting his arm between you two before turning around and taking the plate in his hand. You pouted as you took his other hand and swirled him so he would look back at you.
"Come ooon, it won't be so bad, you're exaggerating! And either way i would do the same, your food is literally the best!" you giggled, as he rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Fine, we can try. But i'm genuinely terrified to put my food and the barbaloots next to each other!" he exclaimed, which made you laugh. You grabbed a gingham from the table, along with vanilla syrup and a bottle of tea in your hand.
You took his hand in your free one, as you dragged him outside, almost making him drop the plate of pancakes on the floor. A beautiful sunset was filling the whole forest, as the bright green grass rustled under your steps.
"I think this place is perfect! We can see the sunset from here," you said proudly. You put the gingham on the grass, as well as the other things on top of it. Onceler came closer to the tablecloth, and put the plate with pancakes on it.
"It looks like a date," he chuckled. You blushed slightly and rolled your eyes, sitting down on the gingham, with Onceler following you.
You opened the syrup bottle and poured it on the pancake, taking it in your hands and biting. Every single time you ate Onceler's cooking, you were at the verge of passing away from how good it was.
He was about to take a bite as well, until he noticed a field of yellow, beautiful dandelions next to him. With you devouring his food like a primitive human, he plucked a flower and leaned towards you, putting it in your hair. You stopped chewing as you looked up at your head, and then at him.
"I, uh.. It looks really good on you," he said, chuckling awkwardly.
"Thank you," you smiled, a small blush spreading across your face. "but you would look better."
you giggled as you said your joke, leaving Onceler confused. As soon as he understood what you meant, his face flushed red as he lifted his hand up to cover his face in embarrassment.
"What am i hearing?" a sound voice was heard next to you both, making you stop laughing and turn your head.
"Oh hey Lorax!" you exclaimed, while Onceler was still trying to get over your joke. "want some pancakes?"
"Thanks for the offer, but i'm fine." he said while smiling kindly. You heard a grass rustling behind him, and saw some barbaloots peeking at the pancakes, as well as your favorite Pipsqueak.
He slowly started approaching you, as you took him in your hands and put him on your lap. You took the piece of pancake you didn't finish eating and gave it to him, as he started eating it happily.
"Here buddy, you can have as much as you want!" you said cheerly, looking up at the other animals in front of you. "And you guys too!"
"Wait what!?" Onceler exclaimed. Before he could do anything, all the animals grabbed the pancakes along with the syrup, eating it all happily. The Lorax wasn't in sight anymore, so you assumed he left. You giggled at the sight while Onceler almost fell down because of the big barbaloot nearly sitting on him.
"See, this was an amazing idea!" you said happily as you patted adorable Pipsqueak on your lap, making him giggle cutely. Finally moving the barbaloot away from him, Onceler sighed with an exhausted look on his face.
"I guess-"
Before he could say anything else, a piece of pancake landed on his face.
You started laughing even more, as the animals finally stopped eating and sat down next to you both, feeling completely full by the food. Most of them fell asleep, including Pip, who you caressed gently as you looked up at the Onceler, who was in his own thoughts, removing the rest of the pancake from his face. The sun was set down, and you felt like falling asleep as well. You yawned and scooted closer to him, placing your head on his lap, while cuddling Pipsqueak closer. Onceler looked down at you, with a frisky smile appearing on his face.
"This is the first and the last time we're doing this." he stated seriously while smiling, making you chuckle weakly.
"We'll see," you whispered, snuggling closer to him.
Soon, he yawned as well. He put his hand in your hair, slowly stroking it a little, and then laid down on his back, placing his head on one of the barbaloot's body like a pillow. He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the tiredness grow closer as he finally fell asleep along with you, not knowing the Lorax was watching you all from the tree with a proud smile on his face.
