Strawberry Fields

He grabbed a particularly big strawberry, bringing it in front of him.
Picking off the stem, he started moving it towards Brook's mouth, making train noises.
"Heeeeere it comes"

He knew he was acting stupid, but sometimes it was nice to just not be so serious all the time and act...silly.
"Is it good?" he asked, watching her face to see her reaction.

Fallon reached out, snagging another strawberry.
"I wonder if this one will taste as good"

"Aw"
He pulled the stem off the strawberry and popped it into his mouth.
A burst of flavor met his taste buds and he grinned.

Soon, all the strawberries they could reach while sitting down were gone.

"I'm completely full. I don't think I'd be able to eat one more of those impossibly delicious things" he said, grinning.

Fallon looked up at the sky too, resting his head on top of her shoulder.
"What do you think that one looks like?" he asked, pointing.

"Hm...a heart I think" he said, surprised.
Usually he saw thinks like mutated animals in clouds.

"What a coincidence that we both see the same thing" he murmured, turning his head and kissing her cheek.
Or not a coincidence

Fallon felt more relaxed and generally happy then he had been in a long time.
This was nice...

"Ditto that for me" he said, squeezing her hand back.
Brook was amazing.
It's strange. She never really did lose control of her powers like she thought she would.

It was crazy how'd they wound up here
Hard to believe they didn't like each other a month ago

Cute
"Whatcha thinkin' about?"
He looked up as well, trying to spot whatever she might be looking at.
But all he saw was sky...a few clouds...

"Oh yeah. Those were the days. When girls were the most disgusting creatures on planet earth" he said wistfully, eyes sparkling.
Really, he wasn't wistful at all.

"Hey, that kinda has a ring to it. Better than puppet boy, at least" he said, remembering the nickname Ember had given him.
But he'll be professional when he trains me...right?

When would he start training?
Fallon wanted to start as soon as possible.
The better to make sure he could protect Brook.

"When do you think I should try to ask Ember about teaching me?" Fallon asked, oblivious to Brook's confusion.
The sun felt so nice on his skin.

"Uh, okay. I'll take that into consideration" he said frowning a bit.
So Ember wasn't the friendliest when he was mad, eh?

She shrugged
Ember really didn't get mad
But when he did....
Let's just say he gets aggressive

Would Brook be fine with him kinda going off and...asking for training?
To Ember of course.
Weird that I even know him

"I just...do you think I could go try to find him now? I mean, you can come to if you want"
It would be nice to have Brook close by.
And also to maybe show off any amazing fighting skills he happened to display.

Brook nodded
"Of course I'd want to come, I wanna see you train"
She smiled

Phew!
For some reason, he'd thought that wouldn't be the case.
"Okay then. Let's go!"
smiling up at him
She reached out and grabbed one
