Chapter 2

"So, apparently, I visited my fiancée's parents last night." Mitchel yawned and moved his pawn two boxes forward.

"Ohhh. Someone finally wore his pants and kneel in front of his cheeky girlfriend. Interesting." Law teased. It earned him a smack in the head which made his head hit the bottle he's holding. 'Oww, Double karma', he thought. To counter his move, he flicked off the pawn using his queen.

"At least, I have a girl who's willing to marry me." he smirked.  "Unlike some man there with a solitary disposition whose girlfriends flicked him off easily just like what you did with my pawn."  

"That, my friend, hurts so much." he fake clenched his heart and feigned hurt. "I just came from a heartbreak. Don't poke it too much, I might burst into bubbles and vanish off the surface of the earth."

"Hey, babe! That would be the most beautiful disappearance that'll be recorded in the history. I'll make sure to bring a camcorder and a last will and testament ready to be signed, everyday." he joked. When his king got checked, he flipped off the board game. "This is unjust and a clear sign of deception you've been putting me into every time we play Chess. I hate you!"

"Oh really, babe?" Law mocked. The chess pieces clattered all over the floor like toppings on a pizza. It seems like Law's taking care of hundreds of thousands Oompa Loompas packed into one body. One by one, he picked up the pieces and place it back to its wooden case.

"Yes, really! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" he chanted as he advanced towards the refrigerator. "You put a lock on your ref?!?! You, really, are mean! I hate you!" Disappointment hit him and dropped to floor.

"You're so dramatic! Get up! Come on." Law pulled the pouting boy up and rubbed his back. "I'll give you a bar of chocolate if you cheer up."

His eyes brightened up when he heard the word 'chocolate'. "Make that two and it should be Hershey's!" Law just laughed and opened the lock to his fridge. There are a lot of imported goods in there and judging from the looks of Mitchel, all of it are surely mouth-watering and delicious.  

"So, what really happened last night? You know, the visit to 'fiancée's parents'." Air quoting the fiancée part. For all the past family dinners his friend attended, only one dinner succeeded and it was when Law accompanied him. He bombed it all with his inappropriate and sarcastic responses.

"It went fine. I answered them only with polite responses like 'Yes, Madame', 'If you please, Mister', 'Thank you for the wonderful night. May the odds be ever on your favour.' Uhmm, something like that. Do you think I am respectable now?" he asked as if my answer holds his breath and he'll die if I don't approve something that he said.

"Maybe, but don't you think you sound like a recorded tape on loop?" Law got curious about his peculiar behaviour. As far as he knows, sarcasm and Mitchel cannot be detached from each other or else it will detonate everything on its sight.

Love can be really sneaky sometimes. Who knew, the infamous Mitchel would be swept off his feet by a plump. A beautiful plump, for sure.

"Sure, I am. Blame my nervousness for everything strange that happened to me." he chuckled. Shreds of chocolate bar packet showered on Law's kitchen. It looks like Mitchel clawed the packaging in to pieces just to make confetti out of it. "Hmm, this is so heavenly!" he moaned.
