Café Pit-a-Pat - Season 1 (COMPLETE)

Chapter 3

"Are you going to finish that?"

Copter eyed the abandoned noodles in Kimmon's bowl and glanced up at him with very intent eyes. Shaking his head no, Kimmon readily pushed his bowl over to Copter, who excitedly accepted it and instantly began to devour the food.

A mix of shock, amusement and wonder emerged on Kimmon's face as he watched him. His eyes turned to the several empty plates on the table between them. Gosh, the guy could eat. A lot. For a moment, Kimmon seriously considered suggesting to Copter that he should change his career to a food fighter. But he quickly decided against it. He didn't want to lose one of his best employees at the shop.

After successfully crashing the last date, Kimmon took Copter out for a celebratory meal. Because, indeed, the past couple of days had truly been a tremendous success. All six arranged dates were easily taken care of, particularly thanks to Copter and his superb acting skills. Which came as a bit of a surprise to Kimmon, who didn't expect Copter to be THAT incredible. Just now, on the last date, Copter had even shed a few tears as he played the role of his heartbroken boyfriend. Making Kimmon blank out for a second and feel like he should eternally repent for being such a despicable jerk. Even his date shot him a dirty look when she saw Copter's pitiful tears.

What an interesting character. Kimmon thought to himself as he observed Copter with an entertained smile. Who was still wolfing down all the food in front of him as if the world was going to come to an end. Furrowing his eyebrows in worry, Kimmon handed Copter his glass of water.

"Slow down, Cop. You're going to choke yourself to death."

"Thanks, P'."

Accepting the glass graciously, Copter quickly gulped down his mouthfuls of food with the water. Kimmon kept staring at him with a huge smile plastered on his face.

"I can't seem to figure it out."

Copter cocked his head to the side, his cheeks puffed out with food. "Figure what out?"

The glint in Kimmon's eyes foreshadowed his next words. "Where all the food goes in your body. Because it surely isn't helping in the height department."

Kimmon smirked when, in line with his expectations, a frown instantly appeared on Copter's face.

"Like I said a MILLION times already, I'm not short!" Copter furiously denied.

"Uh-huh," Kimmon waved off.

Copter pouted. "I'm a lot taller than the average height."

"But you're still just a shorty in my eyes," Kimmon teased again in a sing-song voice.

Copter narrowed his eyes at Kimmon, who always got such a kick out of eliciting his heated reactions. His height (which wasn't at all short, by the way) never really came up as one of his weak points until he joined the Pit-a-Pat family. Who all had to make it seem like such a big deal. And seriously, it was ridiculous! He was only a couple of inches shorter than Tee, but everyone kept making him feel like he was some hobbit. But, upon detecting the playfulness on the grinning face in front of him, Copter eventually gave in and smiled along.
