Ether Hunt | Playing Cupid

"You WHAT?!" Fairuza yelled, the rare emotion of fear coming across his face as he looked down at the paper in front of him. A reservation, one for a very fancy resteraunt- he didn't even know that Lacor knew about the place- let alone how to make a reservation there. "Surprise! Aren't you excited? I heard about your little crush, so I set up a reservation for two! All you have to do is invite him to dinner, and boom! You've already got a date set up!" Lacor smiled an annoyingly wide smile, Fairuza's face still stuck in a gasp. "You shouldn't have done this..." Fairuza started, but Lacor just giggled. "I know, I know! But I promise it didn't cost me too much money to reserve, plus I care about you a lot as a friend and I want to make sure you're happy with-" "LACOR!" The yellow Aqualox paused, silenced by Fairuza's sudden exclamation. "I don't mean it like that... I don't know if I can ask him on a date. I can barely talk to him normally now without sounding like a moron! If you paid money to make a reservation I can pay you back, I just don't think I can bring myself to do it."

Instead of being upset or discouraged, Lacor just nodded as he listened to Fairuza's plight. After a while, Lacor spoke again. "Well! That just means I need to help you talk to him, don't I?" Fairuza quickly opened his mouth to talk, but Lacor shut him up simply by continuing to talk. "After all, you're the most confident lox I know! I was honestly really surprised that you ended up being so embarassed and shy over someone else, and you shouldn't be! You two were friends before, weren't you? So they already like you in some way or another! After all, you wouldn't be friends with someone you didn't like!"

Fairuza smiled. Despite how Lacor could be sometimes, he was always a good confidant, knowing what to say to make the other lox feel better about himself. "There you go! Already smiling, we just have to keep that smile until he gets here! I decided to invite him over to help you invite him to dinner!" The blue lox's smile immediately turned into a terrified frown, shaking slightly and looking over to the other. "Lacor, you're going to kill me one day." He said plainly, but again- Lacor only giggled. "You're welcome!"
