...Gee, now I'm hungry [1/6]

[Midna]

Callie stared at her phone, then let out a groan and turned it off. "Looks like we have to figure out something new today. Imprint the word 'Ramen' in someone's thoughts?" As soon as she said that, her phone beeped, and the word 'Ramen' appeared in her Notifications. "...and now it's in my phone."

[Snow]

Blayze perked up immediately. "Ramen? I like ramen. Can we go get ramen like right now like this very second of existence." For a moment, Blayze almost thought he saw a yellow tabby cat (that looked a bit like a Noise) turn the corner, but then it was gone and he blamed it on seeing things because he was hungry.

Also, he saw that cutie blue-haired kid just a few minutes ago and he may or may not have been daydreaming about him.

[Midna]

Callie laughed. "Sure, why not? I'm kind of in the mood too. We're in the shopping district, so I think there's a restaurant nearby."

Then she smirked. "Hey, I know you were staring at the blue haired guy earlier. If we see him again, want to try to imprint him? Maybe he's hungry too..."

[Snow]

Blayze blushed, making his face match his hair. "I can't hide anything from you, can I... But yeah, imprint him. I'm just going to hope that I'm not incredibly awkward the entire time." Blayze points without looking to the blue-haired kid. "He's over there. I saw him."

The blue-haired kid suddenly looked up from what he was doing, yellow eyes narrowed. "I suddenly feel like someone was talking about me..."

[Midna]

Callie's smirk grew wider, becoming a catlike grin. Knew it. "Okie dokie."

Now how was she supposed to do this?

She finally decided on having one hand on her Player Pin, then pressing the word Ramen on her phone. It acted like she'd clicked a link. The word changed color for a couple of seconds, then turned back to normal. "I think I did it."

[Snow]

The blue-haired boy twitched, and then sighed. "I'm kinda hungry... I should go get ramen, maybe make friends. My family knows I don't have any..." The boy headed for the nearest ramen shop, Blayze following behind.

"This is going to be fun," he chuckled, eyes alight with excitement (and a little unfocused, because Blayze was one of the guys to fawn over whoever they had a crush on).

[Midna]

Callie let out a quiet "Yesssss" when the guy walked into the ramen shop. Seeing Blayze's eyes, she giggled.

"Now remember, act natural and just be yourself. Try not to be too gushy either. He might be straight after all." Though, somehow, she doubted it. Maybe the whole gaydar thing was true.

They got in line at the register right behind the guy. It was a pretty long line. Callie made sure to stand behind Shrike.

[Snow]

They ended up sitting with the blue-haired kid, who was very definitely not straight. Right off the bat he seemed focused more with Blayze than Callie, though he made sure to talk to her to.

"So, are you two tourists, or...?" the kid, they knew him now as Lycaon like the first werewolf guy in the myths, asked. "Cause I haven't seen you around before."

"We're not tourists, Wolf Boy," Blayze said, still looking just a tiny bit unfocused on his surroundings, "but we generally don't come around here. We rent apartments farther downtown. Callie here's my neighbor."

Lycaon cracked a grin. "Wolf Boy. I actually haven't heard that one before."

[Midna]

Callie didn't say much, just watched them and ate her ramen. Goodness, that was yummy. And they were absolutely adorable. She nodded at what Shrike said. "Yup." She did actually own an apartment, but right now she was living with... Someone else. In an actual house. The woman, maybe? She remembered that another person visited on weekends too, but that was it. Hopefully she'd remember soon. This was awful...

"We don't see each other much. We just started talking a few days ago actually." It was interesting, she wasn't hungry and hadn't been all week, but she kept eating. Side effect of being dead, maybe?

[Snow]

Lycaon chuckled. "Wow. You two sound a lot more interesting than me."

"No way, Wolf Boy, you work with chemicals. Say, which chemical can melt the flesh off of someone without killing them?"

"I'm not telling you." Wolf Boy grinned at Blayze's pouting face.

"What? Why not?"

"Because you'll probably use it to kill someone."

"No no, just melt their flesh. Not kill them."

"Even worse."

Wolf Boy full out laughed at Blayze's pout now, who ignored the laughing and instead finished off his ramen. "I hate you."

"Love you too, Shrike."

Blayze blushed a little bit at that, hiding it by drinking his broth.

[Midna]

"Meh... maybe." Callie smirked, listening to the two of them. She could tell that Shrike was doing better just by talking to Lycaon. He was focusing better, and joking, and blushing. She snuck a picture of the blushing part with her phone.

Maybe now was time for them to go though. They'd done their mission, and more. "Blayze, we should probably get going. You two can meet up later for sure, if you want."

[Snow]

"Yeah, you're right. Work tomorrow and all that." Blayze stuck out his hand to Lycaon, for a handshake, but Lycaon instead grabbed his hand and wrote his number on the redhead's hand.

Ignoring the blushing ex-veteran, Lycaon grinned and said, "Call me."

"Don't get worried if I don't call for a few days," Blayze stuttered out, blushing brightly. "Usually I wake up, get ready, go to work, come home, eat, and then sleep until I need to get up again."

"Don't sweat. I understand."

Complete!
