Showers ✔️

-7-

I follow him into the kitchen and stand in the doorway, watching him grab all of the ingredients out of his fridge and cupboard.
He bends down to grab a pan out of a drawer. I watch him in a daze, almost blacking out.

"Brendon?" I hear a voice say as I shake my head and look up at the man staring back at me with the most confused smile on his fa-

"HELLOOOOOOO ANYBODY IN THERE??" He slightly raises his voice to a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah... Uh... YEAH YEAH UHM. I'm here hello ahuhh.." I can feel the blush crawling up my cheeks as I look down at the shiny wood floor.

"I was asking you a question..?" He holds back a giggle as I look up at him surprised.

"OH MY GOD WERE YOU I AM SO SORRY I WASNT LISTE-"

I look at him and see a small smile on his face.
"What..?" I ask flustered.
"Don't worry bout it. I just wanted to know what toppings you wanted." He giggles slightly as he places the first pancake into the pan.

"Oh! Ahahh Uhm.. What do you have?"

He gives me a warm smile and opens his fridge. "Come and have a look"

I frown slightly and slowly walk over to the fridge. As I move past the door I'm astounded to see half of the fridge stocked with all different sorts of toppings. I can feel my jaw dropping as I scan across the names.
'Chocolate, strawberry, caramel, cinnamon, coffee-...COFFEE?!'
I feel like I'm gonna pass out.
'Is this what heaven feels like?'
Each topping had an ice cream flavour to match.

I hear Dylan..Dean.. Dayne...FUCK WHATEVER
I hear him giggle as I regain my senses. I close my mouth and look over at him.

"I know, right?" He smiles as he places his pancake on a plate. "This is amazing!" I exclaim as I reach out to grab the coffee flavoured ice cream and topping sauce.

He laughs as he finishes up the batter making my pancake and putting the bowl in the sink. I close the fridge and place the toppings on the small island as I sit down and watch him cook the pancake.

As he finishes it up he places the pan in cold water as he grabs the two plates and pushes one towards me. He's sitting on the opposite side of the table from me. He reaches over the table for the toppings and smiles brightly "So. Like coffee?"
I chuckle slightly and nod.
"Can't go a day without it."
He looks at me happily and quickly says "same" before handing back the toppings and starting to eat.

I put the toppings on my pancake and take the first bite. It's fucking heaven. I feel like this is all I will ever need to survive in my life. This pancake will help me succeed.

It's silent as we eat, which makes it slightly awkward. I need to know his name. I sigh slightly and swallow my food.

"Hey uh, this is really awkward and stuff but I don't mean it offensively and uh I don't wan-"
"Brendon." He says as he stares at me.

"Uh.. Yes?" I slightly stutter as I feel the heat rising in my cheeks.

"Just say what you want to say." He smiles lightly and patiently waits for me to talk.

I sigh and awkwardly laugh.

"I've forgotten your name.."

He starts to giggle as he gives me a....a uh... Wait a second. What the fuck.

He gave me a loving look.

'Uh..?!'
I look into his eyes slightly shocked as he smiles warmly.

"My names Dallon."
