83 Katie’s story (1/2)
[Targets current comfort level: acquaintance(+1)]
It was a good move accusing her of liking Rachel from Tower of God Ben was becoming experienced in the artform of teasing. Hed come a long way from accusing people of being Hitler…
Meanwhile, Katie leaned against the shelf of anime, pouting.
Now that the attractions high enough, its time to work more on comfort. Ben led Katie over to the cafe where they could sit down and talk in a more intimate setting. They arrived at an oval arrangement of black leather sofas, where 90s music was playing. The smell of coffee floated through the air.
The presence of sofas was another reason Ben chose this location. Beluga told him that sofas were helpful for building comfort. Sitting side by side allowed for easier touching, and thus the building of kino and comfort as a result. It was a fact that almost every man was ignorant of.
If I think about it, its hard to remember any sit-down date Ive seen in movies, tv, or anywhere where the couple wasnt sitting on opposite sides of a table. Ben realized he was ahead of the game. As he scanned for the best seats, he felt a sudden extra weight on his right side. Glancing over, he discovered Katie had jumped on him, and was holding his arm tight for protection as she stared at something.
Following her gaze, he saw a bearded middle-aged man leaving the cafe. Turning back to Katie, Ben couldnt help but appreciate her cute fearful expression. He liked the feeling of his arm between her comfy b.r.e.a.s.ts even more…but he didnt understand what worked her up. ”Whats the matter? Do you know him?”
She shook her head, then looked down. ”No, IIts embarrassing”
”You can tell me anything,” he reassured her. Except that my story just gained a gender bender tag
Ben showed her a considerate expression, but then turned away when he remembered something important. I.n.c.e.s.t would be even worsebecause not only would few publishers accept it as a novelbut it would never be made into a movie because theres already Oldboyand Hollywood even farted out a remake
He twisted back to Katie, encouraging her with a warm smile and a light nod to continue telling him her sensitive story, before spinning away again because he recalled an even more crucial detail… Didnt the Oldboy remake have Thanos f*cking Scarlet Witch???
Really, that couldve been a Wandavision reality warp… Ben gasped. From that day forward, the Marvel Universe was spun on its head with novel fan theories
A few seconds later, Ben coughed. ”Katie, You were in the middle of telling me something that seemed very important to you” Ben didnt mean to be insensitive to Katie but this was serious canon business he was dealing with…
Ben blinked. ”A fear of pogo sticks?”
She pinched his shoulder. ”Tch, dont be ridiculous”
Ben chuckled. ”I guess that would be silly.”
”Its a fear of beards”
Bens face froze mid-chuckle ”U wot m8?”
Katie released his arm and stared at her feet as her face flushed.
He sought clarity. ”As in Blackbeard? Bluebeard? Or Jim Carrey beard?”
”…Just, any beardeven a five oclock shadow makes me fidgety”
Before making a judgment, Ben always tried to consider the positive side. At least Ill never have to worry about her cuckolding me for a wizard
