red.

the date. 😻

you see red from a distance, "hey red!", you shout. he turns around and you see his beautiful red hair flow in the wind, he runs towards you in slow-motion, you look confused. "hey.", red says in his deep monotone voice. you like his voice. you blush, "wanna go grab some coffee together?", you ask him. "now?", he asks. "yeah, is that a problem?" "no, it's just i have work in a ho-" "it's ok red i'll get you back by then.", you assure him..
y'all walk together to this coffee shop about 5 minutes away, you get a vanilla frappe and ask red what he wants, "nothing.", he says. you get him something anyways. y'all sit in awkward silence for about 5 minutes, then you scoot closer, he doesn't acknowledge it. "so how was your day!", you say to break the silence. "boring.", red says in a sad voice. you want to ask him if he's okay but you know he'll just say yes. red shows no interest in you, but you love red. you look into his big beady eyes, he looks back, y'all make eye contact. you think this is the moment, you lean in for a kiss, he turns around. "i'm sorry", you say in a soft whisper of embarrassment. "i think i should head back to work now.", red says.
you decide to walk red to work, even though he probably doesn't want you to. the walk is silent the whole way until y'all get there, you tell him bye. red leans in for a kiss, you kiss him back. "what?", you say in a confused soft voice. "bye.", red says as he walks away into the doors of his job, you watch him until you can't see him anymore. as you walk home, you're filled with joy and you hope you can see him the next day.
