The rain didn't stop till the next morning,  so I stayed with Wally.    I made us both breakfast,  it looked like he was in deep thought as he stared at his food.  
"Y/n."   I swallowed the bite of buttered toast I had and looked at him,  "Yes Wally?"
Home creaked strangely as he also waited for an answer,  I found out last week that house goes by He/They/Them.   It's quite interesting.    "I... Want to show you something.   I don't normally eat in front of people or much at all,  this is why."

My jaw dropped as I saw bite marks eat away at the meal

My jaw dropped as I saw bite marks eat away at the meal.   "You can actually eat with your eyes?  That's so cool!!!"   I picked up the plate and inspected it,  and every trace of food was gone except for the plate being moist.  "Hold on let me try!"  I stared,  glared,  eyed,  and squinted at my food with no result.   "Wow,  so awesome.  Does that mean you can taste other things too?"
"I've never tried."   He kept eye contact with me,  letting his chin rest on his hand.
Wally's cheeks went pink with his next chosen words.  "I could always try."
I quickly finished eating and set my elbows on the table,  putting my head in my hands in anticipation.   "What would you like me to try and taste?"    I flushed at the idea that came to mind.   "H-how about my hand?  It's ok if it's too mu-"    He gently took my left why still looking into my eyes.    I watched as they shifted over to the back of my hand,  instead of just tasting my hand he also leand down and kissed my knuckles.   KISSED MY KNUCKLES.   My heart started to beat faster as he spoke.     "You taste like Candy apples."
"O-oh."

A knock a the front door had me falling off my chair,  causing Wally to help me up."
Wally opened the front door and was greeted by a disheveled Poppy.
"Wally have you seen Y/n?  She didn't come home before the storm yesterday."    I quickly fixed up my hair and dress,  including the sweater Wally let me borrow.
"Good morning Poppy,  Y/n's all right.   She was here with me before the storm started."
I speed walk over to the door hugged Poppy.
"I'm ok Poppy."   "Oh thank goodness for that."   She picked me up and hugged me,  so I hugged back.    Wally handed Poppy the painting of me,  giving Poppy a nod.
"Thank you Wally,  I was so worried."  "It wasn't any problem at all Poppy."
"Well then,  we'll be off then."
"Ok,  let's go then Poppy.   Bye Wally,  Bye Home!"   They both waved as Poppy and I walked away.  

Now,  to figure out how to eat with my eye.
How does Wally do it so easily?   Well he hasn't told anyone,  so I'll keep this to myself.    "Poppy,  some time soon Wally said I could paint him.  I'm so excited.   Yesterday was fun,  though while Wally painted me I fell asleep.   I got to eat the Apple though."
"I'm glad you had a good time."
"Honestly Poppy,  moving here was the best decision I've made in a long time.   I love everyone here,  you guys are so kind."
"Aw,  we love you too Y/n."

When we got back home we hung the painting in my room,   it was really pretty to look at.   "Wally is a really amazing painting Poppy."    "He is,  he really is.   It's nice to see him close with you,  I know he's had us for a while but he needs a different kind of relationship.   I see they way you act around each other."    It's it that obvious that I like that blue hair cutie?   "Don't worry,  I'll help any way I can."   Poppy is the best.
