Here is Your Order Sir

Day: Sunday

- @Ellery -

Right as the kitchen was about to close, Nickie entered it, as the phone rang. He looked at it for a moment, before looking at the chef that had to make the pizza´s ready to close everything down, since it was at the last minute it rang. " I can take it, if you want ". The chef looked at Nickie before nodding. He smiled a little, walking with a happy expression over to the phone, before the gentle young voice talked into the phone " You have called Athe'la pizza, this is Nickie you are speaking with. How can i help you sir ". He had heard the male dominated voice in the phone, so as always he would adress the costumers appropiately. He took notes as he got order down, and also the adress. " It will maybe take half an hour to an hour, if thats okay? ". He waited before smiling a little hearing the answer. " Thanks sir. Have a great day ". He hung up, before walking over to the chef, showing him the note, before prepaing the card board box. He placed it gently at the side, after having cleaned his hands, before walking over to the frige to take a bubbly water.

As he stood waiting for the order to be finish, he looked around the local pizzaria, and also the weather outside. The chef looked to Nickie before saying with a worried tone. " Maybe you should take the company scooter to the place and then just deliver it to us next week Nicky ". Nickie turned around looking at the chef with a little smile over his lips. " No thanks, its okay. I will manage, besides its not that far from here, and i have to get my bike home anyways ". The chef looked at him with a worried expression, which made a fold over his forhead, before saying in a likewise worried tone " I dont like it Nicky, they have promised storm today, and its already begun. It could become very dangerous ". Nickie looked back to the windows, seeing how it already had started to rain, and the trees outside were slightly tipping to one side. " Nooh, its okay ". He looked a little worried for a second * I think.. * before smiling to the chef.

Finally the order was done and he managed to quickly and carefully pack the order into the thermal insulated delivery bag, before taking it out to the bike, that had a front made to hold it in place and be strapped on. He waved to the chef, before feeling the wind push him, lucky for him, he didnt have to bike all the way with wind against him, as it almost more like pushed him all the way. Finally he came to the place, having been hurring so fast on his bike that he was panting. The storm had gotten worse and the rain with it also. He had as a precaution taken his jacket off, both to hold the food more warm, but also as a safety, for it to not end up being wet. He himself was dripping, like he had just taken a shower. Slowly he got off his bike before walking up to the big house, looking at it with even bigger eyes, since he wasnt used to that kind of luxury, not that he didnt live good, but still, this was something else. * I bet the wiew is breath taken in the summer *.

He parked his bike almost in front of the house, only to hear it fall over, after having taken his drenched jacket over his shoulder and the delivery bag, while feeling the drops on his nose, as he walked over to the door with the bag in his hands. He rang the doorbell gently, before standing patiently, hearing how the thunder rumbled over his head, while his phone plinged with a warning, for people to stay indoors, as the weather had gotten worse. Tropical storm they called it.. When the door finally got opened, he just stood there, looking a little stunned by the beauty in front of him, before saying " I.. eh.. y-your order sir ". He suddenly started to blush a little, hoping that it wouldnt show, since he was cold and wet from the weather * How embarassing * . He opened the bag before handing the food to the man. " Just hold your phone over here to pay, or would you like to pay in cash instead? ". He found the recept with how much he needed to pay, before waiting. He looked down to his feet, how the puddle underneath him had started to gather, before hearing a loud crackle from a thunderstrike not long away from them.

It was a last-minute decision to get something to eat, to be honest. Usually, he would simply have cooked something himself, but due to the rare occasion of Nathaniel actually being in the house anymore, food wasn’t in an abundance. Ellery had needed the body for some rather important affairs at the Circle, making Nathaniel agree to having the body for a solid couple of days now. As the weather outside picked up, the siren looked out across the sea from his terrace. The sea looked so beautiful and dangerous during storms.
All of a sudden, the doorbell sounded, making Nathaniel look rather puzzled on the front door for a moment. It wasn’t the usual delivery-guy, for sure. He grabbed a dishtowel from the counter as he walked to the front door and opened it. In front of him stood a young man green eyes and hair that could not have its color described as it was too wet. Quite calmly, even though he had noticed the blush on the young man, he handed him the dishtowel. ‘’Cash. Come on in while I get it. It’s no use for you to be any more drenched,’’ he said, smiling a crooked smile as he moved back inside and allowed the young man to enter to house if he wished too. ‘’Close the door after you.’’ He just said, not really eluding to the fact that he just invited strangers inside. This close to the sea, he feared not strangers. If need be, he could easily throw them into the water and deal with them from there. ‘’By the way… Don’t be embarrassed. A lot of people tend to drop their jaw the first time,’’ he said, chuckling slightly by the fact that the young man had blushed by the sheer look of Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was wearing dark slightly distressed jeans, together with a white dress-shirt with nothing underneath; allowing the dress-shirt to be slightly see-through. As usual, he wasn’t wearing shoes, as he hated the feeling of not being able to feel the floor beneath him. His hair, although not that long, had just the right length to make it a half up-do, resembling a man-bun. On his arm, a tattoo of a quill dipped in ink told a story only few knew about. ‘’The weather-warning just told everyone to stay indoors. Why on earth are you out delivering pizza in this weather?’’ he asked, as he returned with his wallet in his hand. He looked slightly puzzled at the young man, before he rummaged through his wallet to find a matching bank-note as payment for the delivery.

He looked quite surprised when he got handed a dishtowel, almost feeling like he was opening a door at a hotel. He looked at it, before looking at the man in front of him, clearly much more masculin, than his own slender frame of a body, and this man was way taller than himself, giving he was only the 1.75 ish and this man had to be near the two meters, for sure. " Oh thanks ". He looked at it, before laughing a little at the man´s comment about his drenched apperance. " I dont think its even possible to be more drench. Maybe if someone had dropped me in the ocean, that would properly be more, but else?, no ". He smiled a little, before starting to dry his brown hair, making it lighter at some parts of it, and also curl a little here and there at the ends.

He looked around with the sapphire green eyes for a short while, before remembering the door, as he got told to close it. " Oh!, right ". He took some steps back, before closing the door and then again positioning himself at the entrence, still holding the bag in his hand but not without the order inside of it. He didnt want to drench the beautiful flooring, so he just stood there, looking around with amazement expressed on his face. The words from the man pulled him quickly out of his thoughts, before he looked down a little, clearly embarassed that he had noticed him blush. With a soft gentle voice he tried to brush it off, like he wasnt, but he clearly was. " Me? embarassed, nooh never. I-I´m not embarassed " he stumbled over his words for a second, before closing his eyes, making almost a facepalm inside of his thoughts, as he stood there, only further embarassing himself from losing grib around his words.

His gaze followed the tall man, how beautiful he looked.. only making him look down again, this time at the delivery bag, where some drops had formed on top of the bag. He looked up as he got spoken to again, clearly seeing the tattoo this time, but also hearing his words, making him smile a little, while rubbing his neck a little. " I?, actually i dont know why?. Maybe i´m just that good of a delivery boy. Besides i had to take the same road home to the akademi anyway, but maybe i should have thought it through ". He held out his hand to the man, looking at the difference to even their hand sizes. The road to the akademi was long, and even then, he needed to pass the forest, which would only be even more dangerous right now. As he got the payment he nodded, before smiling to him. " Thanks sir, well then i will be going ". He turned around just to hear another warning that plinged into his phone, but before he even got to see it, he looked at the phone that sang its last song, as it died in his hands. * Nooh!, not now.. *.

It wasn’t the most usual way of being greeted by a costumer - and Nathaniel knew that. It was clear that the young man was slightly surprised when he got handed the dishtowel. ‘’In that case, you are welcome to wait outside in the rain the next time,’’ Nathaniel answered the guy with a crooked smile as he moved to get his wallet. It didn’t take long for the guy to deny his jaw-dropping reaction a few moments ago, making Nathaniel sigh silently. Yet another one in denial - either from the world or from himself. It was somewhat sad, but he didn’t want to put any pressure on the fellow. ‘’So, you aren’t embarrassed about dropping your jaw the first time you see a handsome stranger of the same sex as yourself? You are either totally gay or very confident. Both things something I respect entirely,’’ he said, winking at the fellow as he finally got a hold of his wallet.

Nathaniel knew that he came on strong. Like a real powerhouse of homosexuality. It didn’t bother him, not one bit. It simply meant that the people he surrounded himself with either accepted him fully or at least pretended to for as long as needed. As the fellow explained that he lived at the academy, the siren looked rather puzzled at him. He wasn’t anything but a child! All of a sudden, he felt bad for calling the kid out for being embarrassed. ‘’So, you study at the Academy, huh? Can’t say that I ever did that,’’ he said, smiling calmly at the kid as he got his payment and decided to be on his way. As Nathaniel received his order and went to place it on the dining-room table, he noticed the sound of a dead battery. Poor kid - he couldn’t allow him to try and return to the academy with no means of communication! The trails through the forest wasn’t safe during the night and especially in this weather. ‘’Looks like you’re having dinner with a stranger tonight, kiddo.’’ He said, smiling friendly at Nickie. ‘’I don’t bite - I promise,’’ he said, calmly, as he went to the joined kitchen to grab some plates for them with no intention of discussion.

He just stood there almost dropping his jaw again, when the man suddenly started to talk about him not being embarassed for dropping his jaw, the first time he saw a handsome stranger of the same sex. He parted his lips but didnt even get to say a word, before hearing the man call him gay or very confident. He had to blink a few times while looking at the guy, completely speechless which was very rare for him. After having picked up his jaw from the floor, or what felt like it, he said with a little twitch to his lips, as he tried not to smile too much over the words, but also the confusion, was the guy flirting with him?. He tilted his head a little, before giving a slight laugh, coughing shortly, as to mask the laugh, before saying " It´s not like i am hiding it, but.. i´m not shouting it to stangers also ". He smiled a little, teasing him " I think that would have made quite an awkward first impression, being like. Hi i´m gay ". He laughed, before shaking his head a little, only to spill some drops from the slightly curly brown locks of hair.

He rubbed his neck a little while smiling, before saying with a proud voice " Yes, i´m at my first year, so its great " He shrugged a little, like it was no big deal. It wasnt like he was that young again, since he was soon to turn 18, but people still found some way to treat him like some kind of child, but then again, he also looked so young, but not in an underage way, thank god for him. " It´s not for everyone, so dont sweat it ". He made a gesture with his hand, that it was no beggie, which it werent, because people just choosed different things in life, and he had choosen to study and also work part time around the towns.

He turned around on his heel with elegance, before walking over to the door with a good pace, only to find himself looking one last time at the beautiful stranger, before hearing his words. He stopped as he had taken a hold of the door handle. " Oh no i couldnt.. ". He looked at how the man already started to grab plates, clearly not for discussion. He heard a loud thunderclap again, before letting go of the doorhandle. " On second thought ". He turned around, before taking his shoes off, only to realise that he had almost walked outside with the towel still in his other hand under the bag. He placed the bag neatly at the entrence, before walking with wet socks over the floor. He looked at the man, only to see that he was that much taller now, without shoes to give the extra boost, and also just being near him. He swallowed briefly, before looking at the food, only to say " No it´s okay, i´m not that hungry ". He wasnt about to say that he mostly ate vegan food, that would just be even more embarassing... besides vegan got such a bad rep at the time, not like he had something against people that didnt eat like vegans, but he tried his best to not eat meat and animal products, but that was about it... kinda funny, thinking about that he didnt eat meat, but if he wasnt a virgin, he would have taken meat in a whole other way.

He fuzzed his hair up a little, as he started to dry it even more, and also his arms, before looking at the man. " Names Nickie, but.. i guess you already knew that from the call ". He looked around a little, as he looked at the plates in front of them. " It´s quite a lovely home you got ". He had forgotten everything about his phone and how he might just ask if they used the same kind og brand. " Could i maybe.. charge my phone here?, if its not too much to ask. If you even use the same kind of brand. Samsung?, the new 10plus? ". He couldnt believe it, here he was sitting, near a perfect stranger.. one that had even called him just like that. " Do i look gay? ".

He looked down himself, seeing as he was just wearing normal attire. Black tight jeans, with some ruined fabric near the knees a little, and white sneakers matching the drenched almost see through white shirt, and then the brown jacket, hanging over by the entrence. It was first now that he noticed that his shirt was showing some of his toned upper body forward, he wasnt like a muscle mountain, but he was still fit, as some on the track team would be. He looked to the side, to where he would see the wiew out to the ocean. " Oh wauw ". He quickly got up, before walking over to the window, looking down to what looked like a most untaimed storm, how the waves were crashing against the stones down at the beach. " Holy shi... ehm.. i mean, wauw ". He nodded a little to himself, as he tried not to curse so much, not because he didnt do it daily, but he still saw the man as a customer.
