"Put your shoes on. We're going out for breakfast."
"Do we have to?"
"Yep. I've had enough of the cafeteria. I work, so we're going to enjoy the benefits of my labour. Let's go Bren. Hup two, Hup two!"
He let out a groan.
"Let's go! Breakfast awaits us!" I grinned.
He wasn't amused.
"You know I'm happy with cereal, right?"
"This is more fun."
He groaned to himself as he pulled his shoes on. "You better not be taking me off-campus."
"You're so boring. But don't worry."
"No, I'm blind." He muttered. "And unlike you, I have to worry about the fact that I might lose you and never see you again, and possibly get beat up and robbed like I was last week when I was out on my own."
"That's why we're gonna stay together.
"If you lose me, I'm never going out with you again." He muttered angrily, feeling around on the desk for his wallet.
"I'm not going to lose you, I promise."
"That's what Mom says every time she takes me to the mall, and I cannot put a number on the number of times that I've been lost in the mall."
"Well I'm not your Mom"
"I don't like unfamiliar places." He muttered. "It took me 2 weeks to learn the layout of this apartment. I like to stick to what I know. Makes life a hell of a lot easier."
"I think you should come out of your bubble. Have some fun, and try new things."
"Fun is for people with vision."
"And for people without."
He grunted at me, but held his arm out for me to grab.
I held onto him and we left the dorm.
"This isn't the way to the carpark..."
"We don't need a car. It's not far anyway."
"We could just go the cafeteria, ya'know?"
"But that's boring."
"They have waffles?" He tried. "That's better than cereal?"
"Just trust me."
"I don't trust people. It's kind of a problem, but it's better than being taken advantage of."
"Cats or dogs?" I asked, switched the conversation.
"Neither." He muttered. "Blind people don't have pets."
"What about....seeing eye dogs?" I asked.
"They can't help me."
"But dogs are cute! Have you never had a dog?!"
His expression changed slightly. "Well yeah, but still."
"Tell me about them."
"Well, her name was Rusty, and she was a shi tzu. She was very energetic, always. I think she was actually Kara's dog, but the thing adored me."
"Aww!"
"Until I fell on it and broke it's leg."
I frowned. "Well it sounds nice."
He grunted.
"It's a beautiful day." I smiled, slowing down the pace. "Let's enjoy it."
"I really don't care. It's the same as any other day."
Eventually, we reached the restaurant. We got a nice table and sat down. I smiled. Brendon just sat with his arms folded and a scowl.
"It's nice here! Be happy!" I tried to encourage.
He grunted.
I just grabbed a menu. "Want me to read you the specials?"
"I'm not hungry."
I read them off anyway. Brendon sat in silence.
He didn't respond at all. Just sat and scowled.
"I'm trying to do something nice for you, Brendon. Come on, try and at least enjoy it."
"I don't enjoy pointless things."
"You could argue the piano is pointless, but you enjoy that!"
"Why are you even doing this? You never cared before."
"I've decided that you need a lesson in happiness." I stated proudly.
"I'm not a happy person."
"So I'm gonna change that. Everyone deserves to be happy, Brendon. Even you."
"I have no reason to be happy."
"You're at beautiful restaurant with your best friend and roommate and you're about to eat some delicious food."
"Mhmm, because that solves all my problems,."
I just sighed. "Pancakes sound good?"
"No."
"What do you want then?"
"Water."
I ended up ordering Brendon a plate of waffles with a glass of water.
He didn't touch either of it.
"Come on Bren, please. It's got the fancy chocolate on top and everything!"
Brendon just sighed. "I don't like this Dallon."
"I won't do it again, as long as you eat your waffles."
"You can see danger coming. I can't. It's terrifying."
"I'm literally asking you to eat waffles."
"That's not the point! It's not the stupid waffles!"
"Nothing else matters! That's the purpose of going out for breakfast! We get to ignore our problems for an hour or two and enjoy delicious meals!"
"Well, I can't ignore my problems Dallon! They follow me!"
I grunted at him for a change and stood up. "I'm going to the bathroom. Eat your damn waffles."
"Okay..." he whispered.
I stormed off.
I just didn't know what to do. He didn't care about anything.
