Day 2- Sharing a Milkshake
Luan Loud x Benny (The Loud House)
"Did you see the new episode of The Real Mimes of Miami last night?", Luan asked.
Benny laughed. "I sure did," he said. "I can't believe he somehow mistook a phone booth for a toilet."
She laughed, snorting a bit. "That was the best!", she said, taking his hand in hers. They stopped walking, and looked up at the sign. "Is this the place?"
He nodded. "Yep, Mr. Brownie's Ice Cream Parlor," he pushed open the door for her. "After you, m'lady."
Luan slid past him, his hand still in hers.
It was a quaint little place. It was styled after those old ice cream parlors you often see in movies. Neon signs hanging on the walls, red and white booths, and there was even a jukebox in the corner.
They sat themselves in a booth next to the window.
"You like it?", Benny asked.
Luan looked around. "Yeah, it's really cute," she said. "I think my sisters would like it, too."
Before he could respond, a waitress came up to their table. "Hey there, kiddos," she said, chewing the piece of gum in her mouth. "What can I get for ya today?"
They took a look at the menu in front of them. The pages were filled with many different desserts.
There were ice cream cones, bowls, even cakes.
Luna's eyes lit up as she looked at the menu. "Can I have this?", she asked, pointing to the picture.
The waitress took a look, then smiled. "Well, sure, but that milkshake is for two people," she said, looking from Luan to Benny. "Oh, you two wanna share it, don't you?"
The teens blushed.
The waitress wrote it down in her notepad. "One double banana supreme milkshake for the cute couple," she said. "I'll get that out for ya as soon as I can."
They looked at each other as she walked off. Their faces were still the dimmest shade of red.
Benny scratched the back of his neck. "You…look really pretty today, Luan," he said, a small smile on his face.
Her face grew darker and she giggled. "Thanks," she said, twirling the end of her ponytail. "When my sisters heard we were coming here, well," she motioned to the yellow dress she was wearing. "They wanted to dress me up."
He smiled. "They did a really good job," he said.
Luan looked down for a second, then looked up at him. "You look really…handsome yourself," she said.
His face became the same color as hers. "Heh, thanks," he said. "My mom is responsible for this one."
"I guess we both have families who love to meddle, huh?", Luan asked.
Benny nodded. "Yep, but it's okay," he said.
Just then, the waitress came back with their milkshake. "Here you two lovebirds go," she said, a big smile on her face. "You kids enjoy, okay?"
They looked at the milkshake in front of them. It was in large, glass mug. On top, there were two whole bananas covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream, along with two straws.
"Whoa, this thing is massive!", Benny exclaimed, standing up a bit.
"I'm sure it'll be banana-rific," Luan said, starting to laugh.
He laughed as well. "It looks very apeeling," he said, making them both laugh even harder.
He took a moment to watch Luan. She was so adorable. When she laughed, she had the biggest smile on her face, and her hair moved from side to side. Her laugh was absolutely infectious. Every now and then, she'd snort. He could listen to it all day.
She finally calmed down and wiped a tear from her eye. "Oh man, that was just too great, Benny," she said. "Okay, okay, let's dig in to this milkshake."
They leaned forward, each putting their lips on a straw.
"Mmm," Luan mumbled, taking a sip. "This thing is amazing!"
Benny nodded. "Oh gosh, yeah," he said. "This is the best milkshake I have ever had."
"You know what would make it even better?", she asked.
"What?"
She took some whipped cream from the milkshake, and put it on his nose. "This," she said. Leaning forward, she closed her eyes and kissed the cream off his nose.
He giggled. "Hey, I can play that game, too," he said, taking some whipped cream for himself. This time, he put on her cheek. He leaned towards her, and kissed her cheek.
Luan smiled. She took another round of whipped cream. She had an even better idea. This time, she placed it on his lips.
"Come on, kiss me, Romeo," she teased.
He leaned forward, placing his lips on hers. Their lips met in a fusion of sticky whipped cream and banana ice cream.
They pulled away, and he spoke. "Was that good enough, Juliet?"
Luan licked the ice cream from her lips. "Tastes like bananas."
They laughed as Benny sat back down in his seat.
"Hey, Luan," he said. "I have to confess that I was really nervous and coming here today."
Luan looked at him. "It's okay," she said "I was too."
"I know we kissed that one day, and did the play together," he said. "But, I still get butterflies around you because well...", he had a soft smile on his blushing face. "I just like you that much."
"Aw, Benny," she said, taking his hand in hers. "I really like you too, okay?" She reassured him. "So, we don't have anything to worry about."
He laughed. "I guess you're right," he squeezed her hand. "Well, except maybe this milkshake because it's melting."
The teens laughed as they began to finish their milkshake, hand in hand.
