Remember Adelio's voice lines are surrounded by asterisk's (***)
Atlas's voice lines start with an A:

This chapter starts off in Adelio's living room

~Adelio would be laying on the couch, scrolling through his phone as he patiently waited for Atlas' arrival.~

*knock knock knock* Atlas knocked on the door waiting for Adelio to answer

***'Come in!'*** ~He perked up excitedly, wearing a large T-shirt and shorts that lay down to his knees. He quickly stood up, adjusting his long socks and putting away his phone.~

Atlas walked in and said: "hey Adelio, how are you?"

***'Good now that you're here. It's really boring..'*** ~He groaned, grabbing Atlas' hand.~
***'Come on! You still up for that cook-off idea?'***

Atlas blushed at the contact and said: "Heck yea! Your on!"

***'Great! Come on, I made sure the chef's kitchen was available today. Well, one of the chefs is going to watch over us so we don't burn anything... Aside from that, it's all ours so we have a lot of ingredients we can use.'*** ~He ranted cheerfully as he dragged Atlas into the kitchen.~

A: "so are we making? (Gasp) is it cake!" He said excitingly

-chef's-kitchen-

***'Actually... I was thinking that we make each other food!'*** ~Adelio explained, letting go of Atlas' hand.~

A: "oh um, I'll try I'm way better at making sweets and backing in general." He said with a giggle

***'Well you can cook or bake, just food in general. Whatever you want to make. Maybe at the end we can make a big cake together and surprise it for the chefs?'*** ~He gasped, looking over at the female chef who chuckled. She looked over every so often, making sure nothing went wrong.~
***'She won't say anything.'*** ~Adelio whispered quietly, smiling.~

A: "Oh... ok, and I would love to make a cake with you." He said with a bright smile.

***'Yes!'*** ~He smiled, thinking.~
***'Now first... We make each other something!'*** ~He ran over to one side of the kitchen, multiple ovens and fridges were laid around. Each fridge having a sign with a quick overview of the products inside. "Vegetables, Fruits, Berries." "Dairy Products." "Raw meat." And other labels.~

*I'm ganna try to make Apple fritters!* he thought while grabbing ingredients

~Adelio debated for a minute, deciding that he'd make ramen. It was simple enough.. Right? He shrugged, looking through the cabinets for the right ingredients when he heard his phone go off.~
~He groaned, checking who it was before declining the call. He turned off notifications and sat it to the side, going to the sink to wash his hands.~

A: "ow!" He squeaked

***'Are you alright?'*** ~He almost instantly looked over the moment he heard him. He turned off the sink and tried his hands on his shirt, rushing over.~

A: "yea I'm fine I just nicked my hand, it's not even bleeding." He said going to a sink and washing his hand

***'Do you need anything? Are you sure you're okay?'*** ~He fretted, watching Atlas to see if he was hurt too badly.~

A: "yea I'm fine thanks for your concern." He said smiling at  Adelio

***'Yeah, let me know if you need anything, alright?'*** ~He sighed, returning to his sink to wash his hands.~
??: *I don't mean to pry, but you seemed startled from the call Sir, are you alright?* ~The female gently asked, knowing she shouldn't, but seeming worried.~
***'Yeah, uhm... Just my blind date reminding me about our second meet-up. Which was planned to be today but I rescheduled for Tuesday.'*** ~He explained, firmly washing his hands before drying them off.~
??: *Right, I hope it goes well.* ~She whispered, knowing how limited she was with words.~
