Author's note: Sorry for not posting something the past two weeks, I had some tests to take care of, plus a doctor's visit and some other important things. Anyways, now on with more of this story. Fall is my busiest time of year. Short chapter. I will make it up next chapter, I promise.
ooooooo
The diner was relatively busy. Customers and waiters exchanged orders and conversation with each other, going on with their own lives. Splendont sat in a corner booth. He watched the front entrance for Splendid to show up; it was nearly six, he should be here any minute. Not that he was very impatient. The red head had been there for a while now; there wasn't anything else he really wanted to do or had to do.
At exactly six a recognizable head of blue hair walked in. Splendid glimpsed around the building, looking for Splendont. Splendont sat up and gave a quick wave to the blue haired male to direct him to his table.
"Hey dude," Splendid said.
"Hey… so… do we ask a waiter for the menus, or…?"
Splendont answered him by handing him a menu from his lap.
"Just raise your hand and a waiter should get over here."
"Thanks. Order as much as you want."
"Alright."
Splendont flipped through the menu, looking for something that wasn't too expensive. Splendid may have roped him into this, but he didn't want to drive the guy broke. Splendid raised a hand, obviously ready to order. A waitress walked over, and the blue-haired male listed out his order; nearly 15 things. Splendont was slightly in awe at the amount of food.
Is he… trying to explode!? The red head thought to himself.
Splendont gave his waitress his order, and she left towards the kitchen. For a first couple minutes afterwards, both boys sat awkwardly in silence.
"So…," Splendid started.
"So… what?"
"That was a lot of food… you have one of those endless stomachs or whatever?"
Splendid smirked slightly.
"No. Just I knew you'd probably order something cheap. It's not a new trick, and I got an idea of how you act."
Splendont cracked a grin.
"You caught me."
"Not that hard.
Suddenly the waitress arrived, interrupting their conversation to bring them their drinks. She left with a smile and headed back to where she came.
"So, since I'm the new guy and all… Anyone else other than the twins I need to worry about?"
"Oh, the jerk-off twins? No, not that I can think of. Well, other than their group of friends but they hang around each other."
Splendid snorted into his drink.
"Jerk-off twins?" He snickered.
"Yeah. People say they're constantly doing that to each other while no one's around. And more. Someone once said they caught them making out."
"Wow. I'll try not to judge though… to each their own… and all."
"Suit yourself."
Several minutes later, a couple waiters came out bearing their food. Even Splendid was shocked at how much was placed in front of them; it didn't seem like that much when he ordered it.
Splendont snickered at the shocked look on Splendid's face.
"You most definitely seem like a pig to the rest of the diner now."
Splendid laughed and tossed something at the red head. Splendont caught it out of there air. It was a fry.
"How immature are you, throwing food," Splendont teased.
"First thing I had. And anyways, believe me, I'm pretty immature."
"Pretty sure everyone is in some way."
"Look at you, being all philosophical now."
For some reason, both boys cracked up at that. When they settled down, they started eating bits of everything in front of them. Took nearly an hour, but they managed to eat every last dish on the table.
They walked out the door together. Splendont went to a nearby bike rack and unlocked his from it. He started to pedal off, but noticed Splendid just start walking. He turned the bike around and started pedaling slowly next to the blue-haired male.
"Don't feel right with letting someone new in town walk home by himself," the red head explained to Splendid.
"You know I'm not a ten year old, right? Splendid sighed. "Fine, it'll be more interesting on the walk then."
"Well, if you're going to act that way…"
Splendid smirked.
"I was only joking; it's nice of you to come. Though it's only a block away."
"Doesn't matter."
They headed off. As they walked, Splendont pointed out the places he knew so Splendid knew where everything was. Splendid just nodded and laughed whenever the other male pointed something out or cracked a joke. He was having a pretty good time, despite not knowing the other male well. Splendont felt the same, and was a little bummed when they reached his new friend's house.
"See ya later dude."
Splendid started walking up towards his door, but then turned around real quick.
"Let me see your phone."
He started punching some numbers into the cellphone, which made a little beep when he was finished.
"Text me your number later, in case you want to hang some other time."
"Sure thing. Later."
"Later."
As soon as he got home, Splendont did as his friend requested. He was in a great mood, better than he'd felt for a while. He texted his new friend for hours. Neither one stopped until Splendid had to go to bed. Splendont took that as a cue to go to sleep as well, jumping into bed without even taking his clothes off. It was a great night.
