Chapter 3: Restaurant
[Cry's pov]
There was an awkward silence hanging around us like a curtain during the time it took us to walk up to my house, but when we came into the living room Pewds seemed like he was completely fine again… what's up with that?
"So Ryan, What do you want to do?" Pewdie asked with a huge heartwarming smile spread across his face, although I could faintly see the previous emotions hidden behind it, but still, they were barely noticeable at all…
"I don't know Pewds, what do YOU want to do?" I replied. Everything seems like it's back to normal, and I kinda appreciate that… I still want to know what's up though, but we all know what happened to the cat… curiosity killed it…
"Ryan, I'd appreciate it if you called me by my real name instead…" Pewds suddenly said, taking me by surprise, I thought he didn't mind that…
"Okay Pew- I mean Felix…" brains can be stupid at times, don't you think? I mean he just told me… I guess the brain has a hard time adjusting to stuff like that… or maybe it's just mine…
"Oh yeah, the answer to your question is that I'd like to get to know you even better than I already do" Pewds suddenly said, I had forgotten all about that… I had asked him what he wanted to do… I didn't know what to respond to that, how do you get to know me better? I already know me, so I have no idea…
"Don't think too much about it Ryan, we could just hang out, maybe play some games, and chill… maybe go to a restaurant later, you know, since I'm kinda new here and kinda want to see a few things around here…" Pewds said, his sentence started off slow and calm, but later on it seemed like he was desperately trying to explain himself… He looks really nervous…
"Don't worry about it Pewds" I said, trying my best to calm him down. Don't know why I have to calm him down though, why was this such a big deal?
"Okay… and hey, I told you to call me by my real name!" Pewds replied, giving a little chuckle at the end.
"Okay!" I said just the way I had said it in that Pewdiecry video we did together… oh shit… I got too caught up in the little act we were having that I forgot that I have to be careful… he's going to recognize me this time…
But no… he just laughed… seriously Pewds? How long will it take for you to realize? Or wait! Maybe he's just messing with me? Maybe he's testing me? Maybe he's checking how long it'll take for me to say it to him myself!?
Maybe that's why he seemed so stressed out and upset earlier?
"Hey Ryan, is there any good restaurants around here? I'm kinda hungry…" Pewdie asked.
"Yeah, there's this one restaurant I really like… it's just around the corner, so we could just walk there" I answered with eagerness, it's been a while since the last time I was there.
"Okay, then let's go there!" Pewdie said with a really bright smile plastered on his face. I wonder what he's thinking about…
"Yeah!" I said with a matching smile, this'll be fun…
Both of us were ready after just a short amount of time, I guess we're a little excited about this…
After about half an hour we both were ready to walk out of the house, we were literally standing before my front door, both of us just staring at the door… I guess we were both waiting for it to magically open up by itself… but of course that didn't happen, so I just opened the door, and walked outside… the freezing evening air hit me like a wall when I stepped outside… I like keeping my house warm, okay?...
After getting about one third of the way Pewds apparently noticed that I shivered slightly because he put his jacket around my shoulders to keep me from freezing…
"Pewds, you don't have to do this… you'll freeze… and I can manage…" I said in an attempt to make him realize that it really wasn't necessary, I mean it was only for a short walk anyways… and it wasn't really that cold, it just seemed that way since I was used to the comfortable warmth of my own home…
"It's okay Ryan… and didn't I tell you to call me by my real name? How many times do I have to tell you?" Pewds answered with a smile spread across his face… why is his smiles and laughs so contagious? It's like you just can't help yourself when he laughs… you have to laugh with him…
"Sorry… I guess it's harder than I previously thought…" I said, as I returned his smile with one of my own. Damn he's kinda handsome… kinda really handsome… his videos can't capture how good looking he really is…
"Don't worry about it Ryan!" Pewds said with a smile that practically screamed happiness… you ever seen one of those? They usually appear on small children… well, them and Pewds…
"Okay" I replied.
When we had nearly walked up to the restaurant I could see a hint of some negative emotions in Pewdie's eyes… what could be bothering him? Damn it, if he doesn't say anything about all that soon I don't know what I'll do...
"Pew- I mean Felix… talk to me man, what's bothering you?" I said in an attempt to get him to tell me what he's thinking… I tried saying it in that 'I'm here for you and you can tell me anything' tone… for a moment it seemed like it would work too, but then he just shrugged it off and told me it was nothing…
We didn't say much during the time it took us to order and get our food, but as soon as we had gotten the food Pewds asked "So, Ryan… is there a particular reason you like this restaurant so much?" well I'm not too sure myself, I guess it's just an ordinary restaurant really… but I have so many memories here…
"It's kinda complicated I guess… but the short version would be: I have a lot of good memories here…" I answered.
"What kind of memories? Like dates? Or family? Friends?" Pewdie asked… he seemed really interested in this… why? I mean it's not like it matters… maybe wants to know that because I took him here… good thing it's not the first then… that'd be awkward…
"It's the last one… and kinda family too… because my family used to eat here a lot, and after that I kinda made my friends meet me here because all of us knew this place… and after a while this became our meeting place… although now they don't have any time for this anymore… I guess that's why I never really go to this restaurant anymore…" there was a slightly heavy silence after that, so I tried lifting it a little by saying "So now you know… it's kinda sad that I can't be here with them anymore like the old days, but I think I'll enjoy being here with you even more!" I said it with a genuine smile at the end… haven't done that in a while… Wait! That kinda sounds like I know him! "I mean you seem like a fun person…" I said, a little embarrassed… shit, I have to think things through…
"I think I'll enjoy being here with you too Ryan!" Pewds said with a huge heartwarming smile spread across his face, which of course were highly contagious… I couldn't stop a small laugh from emitting from my mouth, and I most certainly couldn't stop an equally small blush from heating up my cheeks…
"I'm glad you think so highly of me Pewds… Shit! Felix I meant… damn…" I replied… sometimes I hate my brain for screwing up so much… but you can't really blame the little guy… he's trying his hardest to control my body and thoughts, and on top of that he's got to manage what I say… Oh I see what you did there brain! You're making excuses for yourself…
"It's okay, it's hard to adjust to stuff like this… I of all people should know that!" Pewds said with another smile… damn his smiles are beautiful…
"But you know… we should kinda eat our food now…" I said.
Pewds laughed a little before joining me…
After finishing our meals, we kinda just sat there and talked about a lot of things… mostly games… surpiiiiise… not really… we both have a love for games, so that'd naturally be the main subject in our conversation… then suddenly Pewdie's expression changed from a calm smile to slight panic as he checked his watch… what's up?
"Oh shi-, Ryan I've got to go! I'm so sorry… I agreed to Skype with someone today, and I'm kinda late… I'll walk you home first though…" he said in a hurry before getting up…
"It's alright… we were done anyways…" I said in a cheerful way to make him feel better…
"Yeah…" he said with a slightly more calm expression.
We paid our food, and headed on our way home… we didn't say much on our way back, and the way seemed a lot shorter that it had ever done before… why? When we had gotten just outside my door we just stood there in silence for a while, until I snapped out of it and said bye…
"See you tomorrow Ryan!" Pewdie said as he started running towards his own house… still facing me somehow… he's waving…
"Yeah" I answered, returning his wave with a little wave of my own before walking inside my house…
