Chapter 44 - Just a Refresher

(It's been a bit more than a month since Lynnon and Ezekiel had started dating and basically everyone knew now. The team found out the day after and Mei totally freaked, as expected. Nori found out simply and she was just like: cool. She had the driest reply but she was still happy for them. Hikaru on the other hand had left the first week. No one knows where but gossip went around saying he moved back to his original home. Akane, Ezekiel and Mei's mom, found out and she was really happy for them too. Everyone was but Ezekiel feared to tell someone specifically. His father, Chimon. He felt at some point he would find out, along with Etsuko who obviously had a crush on him but he didn't care about what either of them thought. As long as Lynnon was ok and happy, he would be too. At around 4 pm, Ezekiel gets a facetime call while sitting on the couch from, you guessed it, Mei. He answers and Mei immediately greeted him with her obnoxiously loud voice)

Mei-" Hey Ezekiel!"

Ezekiel-" Mei. Keep it down. Lynnon's sleeping"

Mei-" She won't hear me"

(Ezekiel literally just had to move the camera not even an inch to show Lynnon asleep in his lap. Mei immediately covers her mouth then whispers to him)

Mei-" Sorry"

(Ezekiel rolls his eyes)

Mei-" Why is she asleep anyways? It's 4"

(Ezekiel looks down at asleep Lynnon)

Ezekiel-" Another art project. Of course, she didn't get enough sleep so she's making up for it now"

(Suddenly, Ezekiel heard Mei make a long but silent aaaaawwwwwweeeeee)

Mei-" You guys are so cute! Look at you holding her while she sleeps. My ship is like no other!"

(Ezekiel made an expression at Mei. She notices and stops smiling, a bit confused why he was looking at her like that)

Mei-" What? Can I not fangirl?"

(Ezekiel smiles and shakes his head)

Ezekiel-" She likes listening to my heartbeat. I guess it calms her"

(Mei makes, again, a long but silent ssssqqqquuuuueeeeeeeee)

Ezekiel-" Ok Mei. What are you calling me for if you're just going to be all Mei about Me and Lynnon?"

Mei-" Right, sorry! I was gonna... um..."

Ezekiel-" Are you joking? You don't remember?"

Mei-" No! Wait, I got it I got it... Akira and I were gonna ask Lynnon if she wanted to go eat out with us tonight. Somewhere FANCY"

Ezekiel-" Ok, then why are you calling me?"

Mei-" She wasn't answering her phone and now I know why. Give her the message ok?"

Ezekiel-" mhm"

(Mei's goodbye was just as loud as her greeting)

Mei-" Ok BAI!"

(Suddenly Lynnon lets out a small groan just as Mei hangs up)

Ezekiel-" Are you kidding Mei?"

(Ezekiel puts his phone down before he looks down at Lynnon who was curling up into an even smaller ball, she groans again. Ezekiel takes the blanket that was around her and puts it back over her shoulder)

Lynnon-" Ezekiel..."

(Lynnon lets out a small and cute yawn. Ezekiel sighs)

Ezekiel-" I wanted you to sleep longer. You were really tired"

Lynnon-" It's... ok"

(Lynnon rubs her eyes)

Ezekiel-" Bear"

(Lynnon looks up at him)

Ezekiel-" Mei and Akira want you to go eat with them later tonight. They said it's somewhere fancy so I'd probably wear a dress"

(Lynnon's eyes enlarge)

Lynnon-" I don't have a dress"

Ezekiel-" You don't? No biggie, I could tell Mei to bring you one"

(Lynnon shakes her shoulders, representing the shivers)

Lynnon-" I may wear skirts but I NEVER wear dresses. It's like wearing a blanket"

(Ezekiel chuckles)

Ezekiel-" Then wouldn't a skirt just be like wearing a pillowcase"

(Lynnon pauses. She then backhand slaps his torso)

Lynnon-" You should be on my side"

Ezekiel-" What other side is there to be on?"

(Again, she pauses)

Lynnon-" I don't know but you're definitely not on mine"

(Ezekiel smiles)

Ezekiel-" Ok ok, please forgive me, M'lady"

(Lynnon crosses her arms and looks away. Before she knew it, Ezekiel was picking her up and sitting her on his lap, making her face him)

Ezekiel-" What do I have to do for you to forgive me"

(Lynnon puts her arms on either one of Ezekiel's shoulders and plays with the hair on the back of his head)

Lynnon-" I don't know. Surprise me and I'll see by the end of it"

Ezekiel-" Yes ma'am"

(Ezekiel says before they both smile and Lynnon leans down. They begin to kiss. Ezekiel grabs her thighs and pushes her higher up. They pull away and Ezekiel turns his head, he begins to kiss Lynnon's neck and she continued to have her hands in his hair. He stops)

Ezekiel-" Ok! I gotta tell Mei about your dress situation"

(Lynnon softly laughs)

Lynnon-" Ok"
