Funky's Unwanted Promise

S2, E3: Ethan has a Mommy!

Expo offers him a hand and lifted him from Sanya's arm, he blushed at her and moved his hair out off his face.
Expo: "Here, let me clean your glasses!", she took his glasses and wipe off the mud and raindrops.

Peony smiled softly at her and retrieve his glasses back, Peony: "My resume might be torn apart from the rain, am I still am official employee for you?".

Expo: "Yea that's fine, I'll get the room key and an introduction tag for you myself!", she lead him to the register and he followed her.

Peony took the keys and puts it in his pocket, he then writes down his introduction tag. 'Name: Peony, Age: 21, Gender: Non-binary, Pronouns: He/Him/His, Sexuality: Pansexual', he went to take a look at her introduction tag. 'Name: Exponent, Age: 17, Gender: Female, Pronouns: They/Them/Theirs, Sexuality: Lesbian.'

Peony looked dumbfounded, why is there a teenager working as a manager and his feelings to her is kinda problematic...

Peony: "I'm done putting my introduction,... what's a young lady like you working as a manager?", Expo: "Family problem, I guess nobody cares enough about me..."

Peony: "I can care about you, I have family problem too...", Expo was taken back by him but he's quite old for her. Expo: "Haha thanks, I've met great people after being kicked out from my home!", Peony: "I'm so sorry about that, I'm glad you found happiness with people you have met!".

Expo stares at him for a while as a smile creep up from her face, she snaps back as she realized their relationship can't work...

Expo: "Ahem so do you want me to show where your room is, I'm sure it will be stressful trying to find your room yourself?", Peony: "Oh thank you, I accept your assistance for me!".

Expo lead him to the elevator as Peony steps in too and stood next to her, she felt shy beside him and couldn't start a conversation as things got awkward.

As they arrived on the workers floor, she immediately steps out and showed him the way to his room. Expo: "Here's your room, you can start by working today or tomorrow as you might be exhausted right now!", Peony: "I'll start in an hour, I can get bored easily!".

Expo: "Me too!", she told him quickly and finger guns at him using both of her hands. She turns back to face the elevator and covers her embarrassed face as she enters the elevator, he can see her face covered when she turns to the door and the door closes.

Peony chuckles to himself and unlocks his room, Expo arrived back at the looby and went straight to Sanya. Expo: "Sanya, I have a massive problem!", Sanya: "What is it, girl?".

Expo: "I feel like I have a crush on Peony and I totally embarrassed myself, do I have a crush on him and what should I do?", Sanya: "Young love, what a powerful feeling! Go with your guts, don't be too straight forward!".

Expo: "You're right, I should just go for it!", Remy: "I thought you were a lesbian, why are you falling for an enby?". Expo: "Lesbian doesn't only means wlw, it also nmlnm.", Remy: "I know what wlw is woman likes woman, what does nmlnm means?".

Sanya: "It means non-man likes non-man, if you're anything other than a man who likes a person other than man then you're a lesbian or other sexuality for that matter.", Remy: "Huh, is it necessary to learn this?".

Expo: "You don't have to if you want, just try to be respectful.", Remy: "Well okay then, I'm going to disturb your crush now.". Expo: "Alright, have fun with that!", Sanya: "Don't hype him up, he's usually up to no good.".

Remy went to the floor of Peony's room is, he waits outside the door until he comes out. About several minutes later, Peony comes out but he's peeping through the door.

Remy: "You okay there, bruh?", Peony: "No, my clothes are dirty from the mud and I just took a shower but I have no spare clothes!"

Remy: "Before my papa inherit his mother's hotel, she used to own uniforms for her employee so want that then you'll get some new clothes?", Peony: "You know what, that sounds perfect!".

Remy went to his dad and told him about the situation, he search for the uniform in the manager's which is Expo's office by the way and he found the uniform then gave it to Remy so he bring it for Peony.

Peony: "Thank you, little guy!", he went back inside and puts it on for a minute then he steps out with the red suit. Peony: "Honesty, she got great taste in suit!", Remy: "Girl, you look so handsome!".

Peony: "I sure do, so what are you doing here anyways?", Remy: "I was going to bother you but you had a problem, want me to show you around and the janitor's closet?".

Peony: "Sure, why not!", the two went around the hotel for the remaining time. Peony got used to being inside the hotel, he saw the outside too and get to know what it's like being a janitor.

That evening, at the lobby.

Expo: "There's no way I'm wearing a suit, this is too tight!", Peony: "Well I think you look stunning, Expo..." Expo: "Really, thanks?!", she blushes like crazy then the front door slides open with a ring.

Model agency Max Mimic enters the lobby with her son, they're both spiders but she's way more elegant. Sanya, Expo and Peony stares at her with jaw dropped also eyes widen.

Max: "Hello, I would like to book a room please?", damn even her voice matches her... everything! Sanya is the first to snap as he's the receptionist here, Sanya: "Sorry ma'am, were super understaff and we can't really book you a room..."

Max: "Oh well, that's a shame... Ethan dear, why don't you work here so we can have a place to stay?", Ethan: "But mama, I'm only 14 years old... I don't think they take teenagers!".

Expo: "Well I'm a teenager... don't worry madam, we'll book you guys a room here on the employee's floor!". Max: "Perfect... you see dear, I'm sure you'll manage to work here with others." she turns to her son.

Ethan: "Fine, I'll do it..." he groans, Expo: "Sorry to ask but are you single by any chance, I know you get this a lot but I have to ask!".

Sanya smacks her lightly, Peony: "You don't have to answer that, we'll give you guys a key and an introduction tag!".
