"Don't you like the food?" Eras asks and my eyes fly wide open in surprise.
"I like it"
"but you haven't even tasted it yet" he says.
There's a sad look in his eyes and this is what breaks me, this is what shatters me because I immediately grab the plate of scrambled eggs that he has prepared and I grab a fork along with me.
I pack all the remaining bacon strips and I throw it into my plate and I start eating it in front of him. I start eating this decidedly delicious meal because a guy has practically asked me why I was not eating his food.
This is funny to him because a smile immediately lights up his face. It is now which is bordering on laughter because of the way that I am serving food into my mouth.
Scott is looking surprised, he's looking dumbfounded at the way food has practically just been taken from him right now, he is staring into space like he cannot just believe what happened and I have to stop myself from laughing at this point unless I choke.
"What was the meaning of that?" he says looking back at me and the plate of food in my hand.
Okay I practically snatched all the food away from him at this point and I begin shoving it into my mouth delightedly. He is looking at me as I am eating, he is looking at me as I'm eating but he cannot do anything.
He cannot reach out and grab the plate of food from me because that would just be awkward. You can imagine how it would be, Scott who never talks to anyone and who is always moddy is suddenly enjoying Eras's meal so much so that he would actually fight for it from me.
I can see his hands are twitching to rise up and grab the plate away from me but yet it is unusual for him. It is unusual for him to do so, and so he simply sits down there, looking awkward and feeling awkward at the same time as he's debating if to keep up appearances.
I take pity on him and I drop the bowl of food back between the both of us.
"We'll share it this time" I say and he nods his head.
We begin eating silently because I do not think it is healthy for me to talk while eating, but still the silence that is between the three of us is awkward. It is awkward so much so that I do not even know where to begin a conversation.
"Where did you sleep last night?" Scott asks.
He asks this question out of the blue and I can see the flash of panic that is already picking up on Eras's face.
Okay, this is weird to me, this is weird because I've never thought I would see Eras flustered. The boy is making my mind go crazy, he is making my mind turn right now and he does not know it because of how handsome and oblivious he is to me this morning.
