Bunny's Angel (Fancy)

[Deleted]

Fancy was too enjoying the conversation, so it wasn’t likely that he was going to tell Devyn to leave anytime soon. He hadn’t had many chances to get to know his roommates either, at least nothing past a simple ‘hello’ and ‘what are you doing today?” or “Did you do the homework from yesterday?’. Such was their relationship. Friendly, but very casual. Fancy wouldn’t mind being closer to them…though there were still parts of himself that he was unlikely to bring up no matter how close they became.

Such as his family…

“That’s fine,” he said with a small wave. “Take your time, I understand.” Fancy didn’t suspect a thing about who it was Devyn was really texting. He didn’t have any reason to.

“Oh, did he? That’s pretty neat!” he exclaimed, genuinely thinking it was nice to be able to introduce your friends to one another, and meet new people that way. However, Fancy winced when Devyn brought up his distaste for sugary things. “I don’t know….well…hate is just such a strong word, I really hate saying it like that.” He hated saying the word hate, Fancy didn’t even notice that irony. “I’m sure they’re delicious….I wish I could enjoy them like everyone else…” But he couldn’t help what his tastebuds told him, or what foods triggered a nauseous response in him.

“Ah,” he said in realization. “That makes me think that maybe I should have asked for her number after all when we met.” Fancy shrugged and scratched his head with a nervous laugh. “I thought that it might be too forward of me to ask though.” He meant it in a friendly sense, not as one who was pursuing. She had a boyfriend, after all.

“If you say so,” he said, rolling his eyes. As long as he didn’t have to go into the real reasons, Devyn could think whatever he wanted, honestly. “I’ll make sure you don’t ever see me munching on my secret stash of M&Ms then. I wouldn’t want my secret to get out, right?” He laughed again, then shook his head. “Yeah, actually, your more likely to see me munching on a bag of chex mix or trail mix…though that does have M&Ms in it. A little bit’s fine, to be honest, but anything too rich or in large quantities tends to make me yak.” He didn’t like admitting it, because he knew that pastries were very popular with kids his age, but…well, he just couldn’t help it. Fancy blamed his parents for that.

Devyn's text to Bunny was relatively quick, and more to appease her rather than a lack of faith in his memory which was actually pretty (really) good. He shared what he had learned about the boy so far, a bit too excited about being involved in something so fun and interesting to think it might be a bit odd to be helping his friend out in this way.

Though, he would have just shared all this with her if he had known it to begin with.

"Yeah, it was pretty fun. I'm not always the greatest at meeting people on my own." Hard to imagine considering Devyn always seemed rather confident or comfortable around others, but it was just something he'd gotten good at faking. Devyn snickered, catching the irony that Fancy had missed, but not pointing it out, "My bad... You probably wouldn't /like/ them very much then."

He smiled a little sadly at the boy, feeling a bit of pity for him at his wish, "I haven't asked her much about it but maybe if she cooks something that's not a dessert you can try that?" As a dessert fanatic he had been rather unconcerned if she could cook anything other than that, but maybe he would ask now...

"Maybe," Devyn hadn't really been concerned with forwardness considering he had been focused on how to get more sweets from her as opposed to any kind of social propriety. "Ask her next time. She won't mind." That he definitely knew.

"That really is too bad, though," the corner of his mouth lifting quickly and clucking in disappointment before groaning, "Though I really need to cut back soon." Devyn laughed before sighing. "I should probably get out your hair soon... but I'll come bother you another time?" It was really too bad he and Fancy had not been closer before this but he certainly wanted to develop a better friendship with him now.

"What do you do on the weekends? Maybe we can hang out sometime." Ha! A question that would satisfy Bunny's curiosity and his thoughts on spending more time with his roommate.
