Lauren took you to a ramen shop to show you some gratitude for the necklace. She was being oddly attentive to you the entire time. Considering how she had been acting toward you at the party it was an odd experience. Not an unwelcome one, but odd nonetheless.

You had finished eating and were both walking to nowhere specifically. She was silent again, looking around the city as you went. Everything was oddly grey today. The pavement was lighter than normal, buildings darker than you remember, her hair wasn't the same shade of brown either. Nor her eyes. Everything had a much more dull tone to it. It was an unsettling realization.

CHOICES:
>Try to talk to her.
>Keep walking, maybe she'll converse.
>Ask if everything is okay.

Talk to her

"Thanks for the ramen." She nods, continuing to walk. Her eyes and glancing around, back and forth from the street to the buildings. "Was your Christmas good?"

"Yeah, yours?" This time you nod. She was so talkative before the meal, what was going on? She smiles at the response continuing to walk. "Glad it was!"

CHOICES:
>Thanks.
>Ask why she isn't talking anymore.
>Try to slowly work it out of her.

Ask wh

"You were so talkative before, what's up?" She makes a small hum, turning her head to look at you as you two talk. "You take me to a surprise meal, you're all excited before and then just. You start blanking. Something has to be wrong." She makes a sheepish grin, shrugging her shoulders.

"Sorry, just thinking is all. There really isn't anything wrong. Am I allowed to have a dip of energy?" The last remark feels mighty annoyed. And it sounds oddly familiar.

CHOICES:
>Sure.
>Just worried about you.
>Go silent.

Just worried about you.

"Just worried is all." She makes a small grunt before turning her face to the street in front of her. You're both bathed in silence for quite a few moments. She glances at her phone when she pulls it out of her pocket before walking faster.

"Gotta go, I'll text you later!" A small wave over her shoulder is the goodbye she offers before disappearing into the crowds of the street, leaving you alone.

CHOICES:
>Go to Coffee of Doom.
>Go home.
>Go to the park.

go to coffee of doom

With a sigh you make your way to Coffee of Doom. Stepping inside you notice everything is oddly silent. No one is at the counter, and a few people are sitting at the tables. A small sign is laid on the counter reading 'Please wait a moment, we'll be right back!' Wasn't it unsafe to just leave it entirely unattended?

CHOICES:
>Wait.
>Knock on the counter.
>Yell for service.

Wait

You lean back against the counter to wait, gently humming to yourself. The customers at the tables are quietly conversing amongst themselves. Occasionally one of them shoots you a glance. You raise an eyebrow in their direction which causes the one glancing at you to put a face to his hand, whispering something to his friend who chuckles.

CHOICES:
>Ignore it.
>Continue to wait.
>Ring the bell.

Ignore it.

You roll your eyes and decide to ignore whatever it is they may be trying to do. Another few moments pass and the black haired girl from the other day walks out. Shortly after, the speakers begin to emit sound again. "Welcome to Coffee of Doom, how may I help you?" You offer her a smile and turn back around to look at the board. You can't necessarily find anything that is inherently appealing.

"How about a.. Uh, 'Melt Your Face' Latte?" She nods and goes to making the drink.

CHOICES:
>Ask about Hanni.
>Watch her closely.
>Ask how's business been.

Ask about Hanni?

A pause while she works. "Is Hanni-- Er, Hannelore. Working today?" The girl pauses for a moment and nods while she continues to work. "Already left?" She shakes her head this time. You nod appreciatively. The drink is quickly laid down in front of you. You reach in your pocket to get your wallet when a small amount of cash is laid down on the counter in front of your by a pale hand.

"I'll cover his drink!" It's the boy who was whispering before. He can't be much older than sixteen. The girl shrugs and takes his money. The way she slaps it into the register makes you assume it was exact.

CHOICES:
>Thanks for that.
>Who do I have the honor of thanking?
>And who might you be?

Who might you be?

"And who might you be?" A small pink blush invades his cheeks when you ask. You take a sip from your drink as he stammers out that his name is Will, short for William obviously. Then he remarks about how obviously you knew that and started apologizing if he insinuated that you were dumb. "I didn't take it as that, don't worry." He nods for a moment, looking over his shoulder to his friend who's sitting at the table staring out the window.

CHOICES:
>Well thanks for the drink.
>Did you just want to cover my drink, or?
>Introduce yourself as well.

Well thanks for the drink.

You take your own sip from the drink, glancing to his friend yourself, "Well thanks for the drink, Will. I appreciate it." He nods and starts slinking back to his table. You move down to the end of the counter, continuing to sip at your drink. You can't help but wonder what that was about.

CHOICES:
>Leave.
>Wait for Hanni.
>Check your phone.

Wait for Hanni

You decide to wait for Hanni, listening to the music as it plays. You can't help but feel the gaze of Will and his friend occasionally land on you but you choose to ignore it, letting them think you don't notice. Both of them seem to just be in high school so why were they hanging out in some strange cafe? Weirdos.

You catch yourself and shake your head. In all honesty you can't criticize them. Back home all you done after school was sit in your friend's truck and drink beer outside of the town's gas station.

CHOICES:
>Look at the teens.
>Check the counter for Hanni.
>Take a seat.

Check for Hanni

You look over the counter to see Hanni walking from the back. She notices you and gives you a wave. You wave back while she takes her normal spot, conversing with her fellow employee. You notice Will's friend has stood now and is approaching both of them. He has that same jackass grin as Remus.

CHOICES:
>Watch carefully.
>Inch closer.
>Look at Will.

Watch carefully

Inch closer

You watch him carefully as he approaches. You're just out earshot due to how low he's keeping his voice but you do know he says something. Both of the girls look shocked. The black haired one reaches over the counter and slaps him across the face. Instead of being taken aback or even acting offended he just laughs it off even though it left a red hand print across his cheek. He goes over to the table Will is sat it, says something and is gone leaving the boy alone. What just happened?

CHOICES:
>Ask if they're okay.
>Look to see Will's reaction.
>Wave Hanni over.

Wave Hanni over

You wave to catch Hanni's attention, motioning her over. She pats her co-worker's shoulder before coming to you. "What happened?" She glances over her should before leaning close to you.

"He walked up to Katie and said 'How much does it cost for me to fuck you silly over this counter? Trust me, I won't take no for an answer.' And I guess you saw the rest." You chalk it up to being a dumb teenager and tell Hanni to let Katie know you're sorry it happened. She nods and breaks away from you back to her station. Your legs are starting to get tired and your drink is empty.

CHOICES:
>Take a seat.
>Get a new drink.
>Talk to Will.

Talk to Will

why

Without any external warning you walk over and sit down at the table across from Will. His face is perturbed, hands in his lap as he stares down at his drink. "Alright Will, let me hear it." He looks up from his drink to you. "He's your friend right?"

"Something like that," he mutters. You nod appreciativley, grasping your hands together on the table.

"Do you know what he said to my friend?" Will stays silent, refusing to look at you. The shamed visage says it all.

CHOICES:
>I won't judge you.
>I know it was him, not you.
>Wait for his response.

No it was him.

EAT ALL THE EGGS

Wait for his response

"I know it was him, not you." Will glances at you, your eyes meeting momentarily. "His decisions don't reflect on you, remember that." The boy draws in a deep breath, holding it in his thin frame.

"He said he had to go but he wanted to tell the girl something before he left. I asked him what, and he just told me.. He said 'She needs to know what I'm going to do to her later.' Then, came back and told me he'd see me later." You nod, keeping a nonplussed expression on your face. Will seems uncomfortable just uttering the response but appears consoled somewhat from the little reassurance you offer.

CHOICES:
>Is he always like that?
>Well, sounds like a guy you shouldn't hang with man.
>What about my coffee?

Sounds like a guy you shouldn't hang with

"Sounds like someone you don't need to associate yourself with." Will gives a small shrug.

"You do what you can to fit in." You could appreciate that. Not necessarily something you agree with, but you can appreciate it nonetheless. "Did you like the coffee..?"

"Of course. Everything tastes better free." You flash him a playful grin, turning in the chair so your body is now facing the counter with your face. He chuckles and you feel like you notice him blushing again. He was extremely pale, that may just be his body temperature all things considered.

CHOICES:
>Ask him where he goes to school.
>Ask him why he comes here.
>Watch Hanni and Katie.

Watch Hannie & Katie

You watch Hanni and Katie as they continue to work. Some time later Will dismisses himself with a small goodbye to you before disappearing out the door. Good kid, heart in the right place at least. Some time has passed and you notice Samantha come in. She slips behind the counter just as Hanni slips out. She's working here now? Hanni comes over and sits down across from you. "Hanging out here a lot now, arent't you?" It's just about six and you got here at four.

CHOICES:
>Better than anywhere else.
>Just a bit.
>I like the atmosphere.

I like the atmosphere

TFW you realize you forgot to link context and it's far too late now. Fuck me. angelinteractivestories tumblr com/Lauren-And-user

"I like the atmosphere. Unique." She agrees and sighs, resting her head on the table. "Tired?"

"Mmmhmmm." It's about time for dinner, you could invite her out. Or you could offer to cook her a meal. That does involve going to the grocery store, which you need to do. But both of those options require social interaction and effort. Was it really worth it..?

CHOICES:
>Offer to walk her home.
>Ask her to dinner.
>Offer to cook dinner for her.

Ask her to dinner

Its okay OP, ty for this.

offer to cook dinner for her

"If you're so tired," you begin. "How about I take you out to dinner?" She looks up from the table, smiling. "Obviously this is just my way of worming my way to spending more time with you," you joke. She laughs and stands, waiting for you to do the same.

"Where do you want to go?" That's a first. You'd been having to ask that question lately. It was a nice change of pace.

CHOICES:
>You decide.
>Steakhouse.
>Fast Food.
>Diner.

Steak

Diner

"Is a steakhouse good?" She looks down at herself in casual wear, and at you still in your uniform. "...After we change, of course."

"I'd love to." She walks with you to the apartment building. She says she'll be right back and slips into her apartment.

CHOICES:
>Dress up a bit, not much. Jeans and a button down.
>Formal casual.
>Business casual.

Formal casual

You decide on formal casual. The last time you wore this was for job interviews. In all honesty you aren't sure why you bought it specifically for that occasion. You never wore it outside of that. Except for today. White dress shirt, black dress pants, and a navy blue blazer. Walking out, Hanni is nowhere to be seen.

CHOICES:
>Wait.
>Knock.

Wait

Knock

You decide to wait. And wait. Then wait some more. Right as you decide it's enough waiting and go to knock the door opens in front of you. Her normal mess of hair appears to have been straightened a bit and brushed down. She's wearing a pair of what appears to be black denim jeans, a white button blouse, and a small bracelet on her left hand you haven't seen before. Now would be the time to stop gaping, you think to yourself.

CHOICES:
>Compliment her.
>Ask if she's ready.
>Admire her for another moment.

Compliment her

Compliment!

Compliment her

"You're absolutely stunning, Hanni." She smiles, a tiny blush springing onto her cheeks.

"You clean up well yourself."

You grin and offer your arm to her. "Shall we go to dinner?" She takes it, practically hanging off of you considering the height difference. As per usual the brain decides to remember the last time this happened. With Samantha.

The elevator shuts behind you as your mind drifts. It was back in your home town before you both moved out here. It was your first official date. She was gorgeous, in a red dress that complimented every inch and feature of her. You... You were just some dope who wasn't mature enough for her yet but still trying none the less, dressed in a white button down and black dress pants and a tie borrowed from your father.

CHOICES:
>Walk to the restaurant.
>Call a cab, treat her.

CAll a cab

You call a cab, an Uber, a Lyft, whatever term the kids are using this day. Ever the gentleman you open the door for her, sliding into the seat after her. She whispers a thank you as the car takes off down the street. You smile and nod a welcome, feeling her gently lean her shoulder against your arm.

Back then Samantha was much more carefree. She didn't care you weren't as mature as she was yet. It was odd that you were the same age but somehow leagues away from each other. You remember being stiff as a poker the entire date. Sit up straight, slowly and carefully eat the soup. Cut the steak into small pieces, chew thoroughly. Buy her a nice dessert after the dinner... What happened between you two? The taxi has stopped.

You step out, offering your hand to help Hanni out. She graciously takes it and steps out with a dazzling flourish. What a graceful specimen she was.

CHOICES:
>Offer your arm again.
>Open the door first.

Offer your arm

You offer your arm to her again. She takes it and allows you to lead her to the door. You open and step in simultaneously with her. The hostess waiting at the front greets you with a bright smile. The lights are dim, candles lit on every table, and the air is filled with scents of meat and vegetables. "Table for two," you inform her. She nods and grabs two menus.

"Right this way." She leads you to a small couple's table, allowing you to situate yourselves. "Your waiter will be right with you.

CHOICES:
>Ask if she wants appetizers.
>Ask if she drinks and wants anything.
>Assure her she can order anything she wants.

She can order anything she wants

"You can order anything you want," you nod to her. She smiles and shakes her head.

"Oh that's fine, thank you though." Your waiter comes over. A guy around your age who looks like he couldn't hate his life anymore but is putting on a smile.

"What can I get you to drink?" She orders a coke, you order a strawberry daiquiri. Nothing too hard, but just enough to loosen you up. "I'll be right back with those."

"I didn't take you for one to drink," Hanni remarks.

CHOICES:
>Just a bit every now and then.
>I'm full of surprises.
>Really? I'm normally told the opposite.

I'm full of surprises

Just a bit every now and then

"I'm full of surprises." She grins at you, nodding.

"So I've seen." What does that mean? You let it go when the waiter approaches with your drinks. He asks if you're both ready to order and you nod. "I'll have lamb chops, garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus as the sides." He nods and scribbles it down. "No soup."

"What about you, sir?"

CHOICES:
>Sirloin,
>T-Bone.
>Filet Mignon

Tbone

"T-Bone, medium rare. Fries, and a cup of chicken tortilla soup as my second side." He scribbles down your order as well and is off to place it. This leaves you two alone again. Hannelore is smiling at you, you're smiling back. A thought crosses your mind and before you can reflect on it your mouth blurts it out: "I can't thank you enough for these last few days." She raises an eyebrow, her hand coming to rest on the table near yours.

CHOICES:
>You've been tolerating me a lot even though I've been a bit off.
>I've just had rough days, and you're a bright spot.
>Nothing...

Bright spot

"I've been having a rough few days, and you've been a bright spot in all of them." She seems touched, putting her hand on yours. "I really can't thank you enough, Hannelore."

"No need to. You're a great person, I enjoy your company." She smiles at you. You smile back, your mind briefly flashing to Lauren. What would she say if she found out? "May I ask why you've been having bad days...?"

CHOICES:
>Truth, the break up.
>Half-truth, depression.
>Lie, just rough days being away from home.

Truth

Nooo

can't lie user, need some faith here.

"I broke up with my girlfriend of three years the other day. It's been about a week now. It's still hurting me hard, and I've trying my best to avoid her. I done something stupid the other day, and I don't know if I'm starting to regret it or not. But through it all, you've been a constant shining light. Even Coffee of Doom has been now. It's... Odd." Hannelore nods as she listens.

"Samantha told me she broke up with you. But why did you two separate?"

"We grew apart and decided to end it before things got any worse." Hannelore's face seems to fall when you say this. "What is it?" She shakes her head, saying she'd rather wait until later to tell you."Is it that bad..?" Maybe that's why she had been acting so weird to you lately...

And that's where I have to cut it for tonight, unfortunately! I'll be here to take any questions for a little bit. And as a warning, I will also post it on the blog, Saturday 12 AM EST I will not be doing a thread, but Sunday 12 AM EST I will.

Nooooo

Arigoto senpai, this was very good and we've done well with the progression. Curious on your favorite anime though?

Why not do these threads a bit earlier?

...

Those OW pics you've been using have been very good, great taste OP.

Do you develop the story on the spot or do you have everything planned out. Sorry I'm new to this

Mostly because I'm a bit sausagey and that never crossed my mind. Change of plans, 11PM Saturday EST.

All-Time series is Hitman Reborn, movie would be Wolf Children. Current seasonal is Restaurant To Another World

Individual events and such I do on the spot. I have some end goals in mind, but nothing specific so a lot of it is just on the spot but I do have general ideas of where I want to go. Archive is on up in the replies or I can link again if you need it!

Sausagey?

Do you have a waifu or husbando? Had no idea about that seasonal anime, might have to check it out.

So thread & archive on same day?

Only true Waifu is Mercy. Jk, no I can't say I have one specific waifu or husbando. Alot of characters are attractive for a lot of different reasons, it's hard to choose!

Idk, force of habit on description I picked up from a friend. Essentially means silly.

How long have you been doing this? You are really good and I'd imagine you'd be even better with a fully planned out story

Oh, I thought you ate hot dogs late at night or something Kek

Off and on since... 2012? I was a sophomore in high school when I first started. Alot of the originals were sexual/silly. Then I quit for a good few years. Then I picked it up again, then quit again because it lost interest. ANd then here we are. As for fully planned out stories, I do have another blog and I'm working on novels/novellas in the background.

I'll have the archive up tomorrow.

I suppose you don't do this full time? You should add more sex, since we are mostly males here

Nah, less sex means it'll be greater impact and rewarding for us when we achieve it.

Define "this". Do you mean writing? If so, yes I am technically a freelancer.(Technically unemployed shh) As for sex, it is possibly coming if you play your cards right but unfortunately this story is focused on other things so sex is a bonus. Also what said

Yes I meant writing. I'm also writing my own little stories but its hard to stand out. Mostly just a hobby.

I feel you. It's extremely hard to stand out. Just gotta keep going and refine your craft, we'll hit it one day!

Getting off now OP, thanks for another goodnight and see you Sunday.
