(Mei's mind processes that moment slow and when she finally realizes LYNNON, her friend was in EZEKIEL, her brother's apartment, her eyes widen and her jaw drops)
Mei-" LYNNON?!"
Lynnon-" Hey~ Mei~, heh"
(Mei points at her then looks at Ezekiel. He scratched the back of his head in response. He didn't know what to say to her. Lynnon slowly sits up and looks at the two of them look at each other. It was awkward. MAJORLY AWKWARD)
Mei-" Was she here that whole time?"
(Mei was still surprised but at the same time excited on the inside. Ezekiel nods)
Mei-" So you knew she was here?"
(He nods)
Mei-" Are you taking care of her?"
(Again, a nod)
Mei-" But is that really all that's going on here???"
(Ezekiel and Lynnon make eye contact. Lynnon just shrugs, answering the question that he was thinking in his head. Should I tell her? Ezekiel looks back and after a second or two he shakes his head)
Ezekiel-" But it's not what you think!"
Mei-" Honestly I'm excited either way"
(Mei says with a straight face which confuses Lynnon and Ezekiel. Ezekiel goes back to being nervous and sighs)
Ezekiel-" She just... kinda... sorta... lives here... with me"
(Finally, Mei's face lights up. She squeals loud enough to burst someone's eardrums but they all manage)
Mei-" Omg! When I thought my ship couldn't get any better!"
(Suddenly Mei turns towards Lynnon and squeals again. She was ready to leap towards her with excitement but before she could, Ezekiel speaks up while walking towards them)
Ezekiel-" Don't Mei. Her ankle remember"
(Mei looks down at Lynnons still wrapped ankle)
Mei-" Right right! Well don't mind me, I'm just gonna sit here. Observe"
(Mei sits down in the singular sofa diagonal of the main couch. Ezekiel walks around the main couch, where Lynnon was sitting)
Ezekiel-" Do you want something to eat Mei"
(Ezekiel asks while grabbing the pillow from the other singular sofa and placing it at the end of the main couch. He then reaches to Lynnons ankle)
Ezekiel-" Bear with me"
(Ezekiel gently grabs her foot and places it down on the pillow, elevating her ankle a bit. While he does it, her eyes squint, indicating that it hurt at least a little)
Ezekiel-" There you go..."
Mei-" Why yes Ezekiel, I would like some food! Could you lift my feet with a pillow too while you're at it?"
(Lynnon giggles. Ezekiel looks over at Mei and smiles devilishly)
Ezekiel-" You don't NEED it"
(Ezekiel gives the plate of food to Lynnon to eat while he got Mei's and his. He walks off to the kitchen while still talking to Mei)
Ezekiel-" I only did that for Lynnon because it's better for her ankle"
(As he prepares their plates in the kitchen, Mei talks to Lynnon quietly)
Mei-" You guys are so sneaky! Can't believe I didn't know about you two living together"
Lynnon-" We were both scared of YOU finding out"
Mei-" Have you guys been doing things... here... alone"
(Lynnon blushes)
Lynnon-" No! Of course not!"
(Mei giggles)
Mei-" Oh I can't wait for you two to date"
(Mei again goes on fantasizing about Lynnon and Ezekiel together and gets lost in her own world. Lynnon rolls her eyes before looking back at Ezekiel in the kitchen. He looked peaceful in the kitchen like it was his happy place which it probably was. Lynnon softly smiles at him, continuing to stare. Suddenly he came to a position where he was facing her direction, he looks up and sees Lynnon looking at him. Ezekiel confusingly smiles. Knowing that Mei wasn't paying attention, he decided to talk to her)
Ezekiel-" What?"
(Lynnon sighs)
Lynnon-" Nothing. Go back to what you were doing"
(Lynnon turns back and begins to eat her meal. Ezekiel finishes preparing their plates and walks back. He hands Mei's meal to her and they all finally sit down and have a conversation over the meal)
Mei-" So~ Tell me about this situation of yours"
(Ezekiel takes a bite of his food)
Lynnon-" What do you mean?"
Mei-" Well you guys are literally living together! What do you mean WHAT DO I MEAN"
Lynnon-" It's really just simply that. We just live together"
Mei-" Oh cmon! No way! For how long?"
Lynnon-" Ever since I left the hangout"
Mei-" THAT LONG?!"
Lynnon-" Y-yeah?"
(Mei looks over at Ezekiel)
Mei-" You sly fox"
Ezekiel-" What? I didn't make her. She agreed to come live with me. She was actually meant to be my inspo for DNE but I never ended up taking any picture of her"
(Ezekiel looks over at Lynnon. She smiles and looks away like she didn't know what he was talking about. They all finish their meals and Mei places her plate down on the coffee table)
Mei-" Well thanks for the amazing food, I'm gonna go. You guys enjoy yourselves!"
(Mei quickly heads out, trying to give the two of them their space)
Lynnon-" That reaction was unexpected"
Ezekiel-" Tell me about it"
