Batari bit her lip, holding back a smile. "I saw it. It was pretty cool. But I mean... you should be more careful. The other guy was throwing his own punches, you know." She teased him, trying to be cute about it instead of seeming motherly. She looked at the drinks, "Thank you for paying, by the way." Of course, after all, it's a... date... right? She pretended to answer for Eric in her mind, even though she knew he wouldn't say that.

Eric laughed at her response. "Yeah, well, he had it coming. We both did, really. I'm the one who tripped him with my stick after all." he snickered, grinning when she thanked him. "And its no problem. Figured its easier for me to pay for us both rather than splitting the bill." Seriously, dude? She's gonna think you're friend-zoning her? Stop it! "I mean, I have saved up my allowance money. Figured I'd spend it on something worth paying for, right?" he grinned. Nice recovery....

Batari nodded, muttering "true, true..." at his response. When she first heard the response he gave about paying the bill, however, she felt her heart drop. As he revised it, she tried to bring her heart back up to her chest, but it seemed to still be surprised. As revenge, she decided to pick at something he said within his revision. "something?" She asked him teasingly, raising an eyebrow.

Eric's eyes widened abruptly then. "Oh, I mean...what I meant was that, um..." he tried rephrasing his sentence again, but couldn't get the right words out. Luckily the man at the counter saved him from sounding even more like an idiot by calling out their number. "Oh, pizza's ready. I'll get it." he said quickly, racing out of his seat to the counter. "Stupid, stupid, stupid...." he muttered to himself as he grabbed the pizza from the counter and headed back to the table, biting his lip slightly. He decided then it was time for a change of subject. "Mmm...pizza smells good. I sure hope your choice of toppings is good." he chuckled, sitting down before handing her a plate as well as his own and grabbing himself a slice, nearly burning his hands in the process.

Batari giggled once Eric left to get the pizza; she hadn't expected him to react like that, and it helped relieve her nerves a bit. Once he got back, she sobered up, but still had a playful smile on her face. "It's good, trust me." She assured him confidently.

Eric kept his playful smile on his face, and didn't look away from Batari, even when he took that first bite of pizza. "Mmm!!!" he shouted, though it was a muffled shout. "Damn, Batari. You have awesome taste!" He took another bite, a larger one at that, and then a swallow of his coke to wash it down better. "Could use some extra cheese though." he added, grabbing the parmesan cheese shaker at their table and shaking some on top of his slice. He took another bite out of it and nodded his head approvingly. "Ah. There we go." he grinned.

Batari giggled at his over-enthusiastic reaction. "You must really like cheese, then, huh?" She asked him, then took her own piece of pizza. "I like it, but it's not my favorite food in the world." She told him simply, taking a small bite of the pizza. She quickly blocked her mouth and blew out air. "It's hot~" She whined, taking a sip of her own soda to help cool down her mouth.

Eric slurped down more of his soda to also cool down his mouth. That didn't stop him from taking another daring bite though. "I do love cheese, actually. Only for certain pizza places though. And I have a feeling this place would have better pizza if they had a little more cheese on it. That's just me though." Eric explained, munching down the rest of his slice before sipping on his soda some more to help wash the first slice down. He chuckled at her comment when saying it was hot. "Well, I sure hope its hot. I wouldn't want to eat it cold, would you?" he teased her, going ahead and grabbing another piece for himself.

Batari nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean." She told him, waiting for her own slice to cool down before taking another bite. "Are you kidding? You've never had cold pizza?" She asked him, eyes wide. "It's amazing!"

Eric's eyes widened at her sudden exclamation, laughing softly to himself. "Hey, I never said I didn't like it, nor have I never tried it...I just meant I'd rather have the pizza be hot and fresh out of the oven." he explained, "That's just me though." he said, blowing on his second piece before taking a bite out of it.

Batari shook her head in playful condescension, "I don't think I can be your friend anymore." She joked, poking her pizza a little to see if it had cooled yet. "I mean, of course fresh-out-of the oven is good, but cold pizza the next morning is like... the best." She told him matter-of-factly.

Eric had to look up eye to eye with Batari when she said something about not being friends. But then he just ended up laughing. "Oh really now?" he smirked, setting his pizza back down on his plate to get a drink of his soda next. He made a face when she mentioned cold pizza in the morning. "Seriously? You don't even microwave it at all?" he scoffed, "Guess we can't be friends anymore then..." he teased right back, getting up to refill his soda he just finished. When he came back though, he made sure Batari wasn't looking up so that he could "secretly" slip around behind her, to whisper in her ear, "If you want...we can be more than friends rather than just friends......" he smirked, giving her a quick peck on the cheek, and quickly returned back to his seat, to hide his subtle blush, afraid to know what her reaction will be next.

Batari chuckled as he walked away, waiting for him to come back. While he was gone, she chanced another, smaller bite of her pizza, glad to see it had cooled down. Suddenly, she felt Eric's breath on her neck and he whispered in her ear and... did he say what I thought he did? She wondered to herself, stopping herself from practically choking on the piece of pizza she had in her mouth. After a moment's silence (and her hoping her blush had calmed down), she nodded, swallowed, and cleared her throat. "I'd actually.. really like that.." She muttered to Eric.

Eric threw his head back quickly to get his hair out of his eyes...anything to hide his blushing across his cheeks which slowly grew brighter. "I, uh..." he cleared his throat. "I'm glad. Cause, I mean...I was hoping this was a, a date." he mumbled as he got to the end, suddenly feeling shy again. Dude, what the hell? You're never shy! "Only if you want it to be, I mean." he quickly added in.

Batari couldn't bring herself to say any words, so she just nodded enthusiastically. She took another bite of her pizza, purposely looking at it so she could hide her own flushed cheeks. About time! A part of her said to herself, but she had to be fair; she had on crush on Eric practically from the moment they had met. Ahh~~!!!! I have my first boyfriend!!! She thought to herself excitedly. She'd have to make sure to brag to her friends back in Indonesia once she got home how she got a boyfriend.
