˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          i    did.     i    couldn't    show    up    to    christmas    without    a    present    for    you.     [     he    abides    by    the    words    told,     approaching    the    christmas    tree    inside    and    placing    the    bag    under    it.     ]     i    would've    gotten    one    for    athena,     too,     but    i    wasn't    sure    what    to    get.     i've    never    had    a    dog.

@puckedballs          you  really  didn't  have  to.   but   thank  you!   you  can  put  it  under   the   tree.   :) 

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          (   ..    )     i    don't    know.     you    just..     are?     i    don't    think    i    can    properly    answer    that..

@puckedballs         different,  huh?  i'll  take  it  as a  compliment.    but   um.   what   makes  me   different..?

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          thats..     different.     you're    different.     not    in    a    bad    way,     of    course,     but..     different.

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          [     he    hums,     taking    a    bite    of    the    croissant.     ]      hopefully    you    can    get    more    breaks    in    the    afternoon,     or    that    it    is    slower.     you    deserve    that,     at    least.     i'll    bring    you    more    food    these    days.

@puckedballs         yes  you   may.        *  he'd  sit  down  next  to  the  other,   opening  his  food  up  and  grabbing   the  fork.  *     most   days.   i try  to  get  here  around  6  at  the  latest.  so  the  openers  don't  have  to  do  too  much.  but  they  called  out  so  it's  bee  just   me.   

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          may    i    get    them,     / please? /     [     he    is    sure    to    finish    his    sentence    before    grabbing    the    items.     he    takes    a    sip    as    the    other    speaks.     ]     you    don't    work    like    this..     every    day,     do    you?

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          [     he    nods    along    as    he    listens.     alternating    turns,     he    can    do    that.     perhaps    caspian's    smile    is    infectious.     one    begins    to    grow    on    his    own    face,     looking    at    the    man    who holds    such    concentration,     before    watching    the    ball.     once    it    stops    rolling,     he    walks    over    to    his    own    ball.     ]     yeah,     i    think    you're    definitely    winning    this..     [     another    hit    of    the    ball,     he    watches    it    roll..     too    much,     bounce    off    the    walls.     he    hit    it    too    hard.     ]

@puckedballs           *  the  ridiculous  smile  on his  face wouldn't  go  away.  it  was  like  every time  he  looked  at    wilson,  he  was  cheesing.  *    i  go.  and  then  you go   again.   we  alternate  till  we  get  it  in.         *  he'd    drop  his ball  and  nudge  it  to  the  right  spot  with  his  foot.    whistling  a  little,  caspian  would  putt  the  ball  down  the  path.   it  definitely  wasn't a  hole  in  one,  but  it  was  decently  close  to  the  hole.  *      each  putt  is a  point.   try  to  get  as  little  points  as  possible. 

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          oh,     geez.     don't    judge    me.     [     he    places    the    small    ball    onto    the    floor,     taking    a    step    away    from    it    to    practice    swinging,     before    eventually    hitting    the    ball,     watching    it    roll    through    the    path.     he    turns    to    caspian.     ]     do    i    keep    going    or    is    it    your    turn?

;   if   i   say   ollie   n   spam   here ,,,

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          yes,     an    hour    early    will    be    good    enough    for    sports.     you    can    get    food,     see    a    bit    of    the    stadium,     find    your    seat.     you'll    have    a    good seat.

@puckedballs           hm.   i'll  get  there  an  hour  early?   is  that   good  enough?   i  don't  know  the  proper  arena  etiquette  for  sports  stuff.  all i  know  is  concerts. 

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          something    like    that,     you    could    say.     maybe    they    have    stuff    about    it    in    the    stadium.     go    in    early,     maybe    you    can    see    it.

@puckedballs           no,  i'm  ..  definitely  to  blame  for  the  confusion.   she's  just—  she  lives  in  florida.  and  i  don't  really  ..  keep  in  contact?     *   it  felt  awkward.  explaining  this  halfassed  version  to  a  stranger.  but  he  felt  comfortable  around  wilson.  enough  to  tell  him  the semi  truth.  *       you  pick!  although  i  love a  good  chipotle  bowl. 

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          oh —      my    apologies    for    the    confusion.     [     red    begins     to    dust    wilson's    face    as    well    out    of    embarrassment,     before    its    pushed    back    with    a    small    smile.    bringing    him    food,     huh?     ]     yes,     of    course.     any    requests?

@puckedballs         what?   no—!   oh  my  gosh.  no.  we  just  aren't   close  anymore.    i  should  have  clarified–      *  caspian  would  blush  bright  red,   awkwardly  pressing  buttons  on  the   register  as  though  that  would  help  soothe  his  embarrassment.  *        well.  you  could  start  by   bringing me  food  next  time  you  come  in? 

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          it    seems    that    there's    nothing    can    bring    you    down.     that    is    quite    admirable.     and    entertaining.     i    can    only    imagine    the    looks    on    their    faces.

@puckedballs            mhm!     the  bad  customers  are  annoying,  but  everyone  has  their  reasons,  i  guess.  i  don't  let it  bother   me.      helps  that  when  they start  bitching  and  asking  for  the  manager,  i  get  to  tell  them  they're  already  talking  to  him.   :)  

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          really?     even    with    some    bad    customers?      [    its    a    shock.     wilson    returns    the    smile,     although    not    of    the    same    fervor,     but    progress    for    the    man    nonetheless.     ]     you..     could    say    that.     something    like    it.

@puckedballs         wilson,  right.    well.  wilson, they'll  call   your  name  right  down  there.    *  he'd  nod  towards  the  end  of  the  counter,  where  some  drinks  had  already   collected.  *      

˚₊‧⁺⋆♱          wilson.     its    okay,     at    least    you    got    it    before    it    was    too    late.

@puckedballs           maybe   one  day?      thanks!    they'll  call  your  name  right—  shoot.  what    /is/  your  name?   i  totally  forgot  to  ask.
