"Fuck oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck!!!" He's running with a bag of take-out in hand, panting heavily. "THIS IS NOT COOL! SO NOT COOL!" — [ #TheLastLaugh ]; A Dex subplot

My bestie!!!

. . . Huh? Carry you? But you might dent the pizza ...

But — I have to deliver a pizza.

D:

:D

// yaaayyy

// slipping a ring on it as we speak

// gonna kiss him up and then what

// I want to hold and kiss him actually

// squint

// this is so sad actually

"Guess I was a bit too slow." He smiled, holding the bags with both hands before handing them off to Esme carefully. "It's not really a big deal for me .. Customer service is always my priority. The happier they are, the happier I am."

// Yeah gimme!

// I win 🙂‍↕️

Ooohhhhhh! You wanted to sleep with me like THAT. I get it.. I gotcha. I comprende, mi amigo. I'm on the clock still, though.

The moment Esme was no longer within view, Dex would split himself into doubles using his speed — one traveling to the food while Dex worked out a reasonable time management plan. Ensuring he wasn't too fast nor too slow. All before arriving back at Esme's just a minute past the thirty. ++

We're going to bed..? But it's not even dark out yet, are you tired? Maybe you need me to tuck you in. Kinda weird but I'd totally do it! If you wanted. Just to help a guy out.

A test drive .......? [ Buffering circle in his brain ] What are we driving??

"I have it mapped by memory." A gentle, friendly smile given to the other while the order information would pop up on his own phone. "I'll see you in thirty minutes flat. Or your money back."

"Not a problem, man. Always happy to help out a friend." A smile on his face, he followed Barry's lead with his hand to the air. Giving the other a friendly high-five.

Huh— wha— IT'S HUGE!! How does- how do you even have something like that? [ He's making an attempt to stick his own tongue out in similar fashion .. but it's merely average. ]

"Me personally? I love a good slice of cassata." "Oh, and unlike other delivery apps, if you're worked with our runners before and gave a good review you can scroll through a list of names and select specific runners if it shows they're available." "You'll see a green dot by my name."

"With pasta and garlic bread, you don't want something too sweet that it'll make you feel sick after. But a simple cannoli. It has the sweetness of a good dessert, but not too heavy like a cake."

That.. Sure is a sentence no one has ever said to me before..!!!

"Hell yeah!!! Now you're living!!!"

At least take me to dinner first. Sheesh. And perfect! We can transfer over the discount, just tell them to use code SUPAFAST for 20% off.

"You get me. You really get me.."

You would f — wha- Cult leader?! ....do they have an account set up?

Woah.. No one ever thinks I'm cute. You really think I'm cute!? Pretty to look at. Looks like someone's getting a discount on their next delivery fee.

You think I'm pretty???

Saw what in huh? Me? Who? Who's Ron Ron?

Fondue .. I know what fondue is, but the thought of combining cheese with chocolate gives me the heebie-jeebies!!! I'm all for savory and sweet but I can't do that one..

"My delivery service! Yum-Run! I'm just an employee, but you can download the app onto any phone!" He's eagerly removing his phone from his pocket, holding it up to show the other the app, swiping through it. "Lots of places to order from! All in the palm of your hand!"

Cheese and chocolate sounds awful..!! And I've never been a peanut butter type of a man. Except that time the jar was a little tempting but — ...

. . . Grilled cheese and pea– No! That's like a whole food abomination! That sounds horrible!

A pizza place would be the worst to get a milkshake from, you'd want somewhere specific to frozen treats or a malt shop. Call me old fashioned, but the ones that do exist? Perfect combo for a burger and milkshake. The sweet, salty taste combination can't be beat.

"Plenty of guys out there? I mean, yeah. The world is pretty big. There's obviously plenty guys. Plenty girls. Nonbinary people ... A lot of birds. There's so many birds, actually." "Especially chickens!" It seemed he was incredibly unaware of what Barry had meant ..

"What's wrong with Papa John's......" [ 🥺 ]

"I don't think you can afford a tip.."

"Then you probably shouldn't be ordering food and snacks...."

"On account of my speed. My delivery speed I mean, always getting food in on time!" A quick fixing of his words, passing Barry a bright grin. "Anyway, dude. I won't sweat it. Rich guy like him? Probably mega busy. No time to slow down and sniff the pizza! It's chill."

— #𝐒𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 "Yeah, look at you .. dirty girl. Slipping out of your wrapper like that.. mouthwatering and exposed. God you are so .. FILTHY. Can't wait to get my mouth on you.."

"That depends where you're ordering from. The Yum-Run app has multiple stores and chain restaurants for you to pick from. Prices vary!"

"You know what's really sexy? Hot and ready to eat food in 30 minutes or less or your money back!" "Now THAT'S what I call hot."

"Ronaldo left town??? Damn. I thought we were gonna chill together. He seemed so excited about being friends. Then he up and left!" "Can't win 'em all ... But you can win a discounted Yum-Run order using code SPEEDY."

"Oh, hey! I saw you at the party! Do you happen to know Ronaldo?? I thought we'd become buddies .. "

"I wonder why Ronaldo never called me back. He seemed like such a nice dude."
