- Be Normal Norman.
- >You are behind the oven keeping an attentive eye on what’s in it.
- >The Aryan Beauty is sitting on the counter, legs dangling over the vertiginous drop.
- >Well for her at least.
- >For you it’s good ol’ countertop.
- >“Is it going to take much longer? How long have we been waiting?”
- “You were waiting, I was working. If you had helped me you wouldn’t be this bored.”
- >“And come close to that stinking creature? No thank you.”
- “Stinking maybe, but delicious once cooked.”
- >“By the way darling, who on Earth possesses such things in his fridge and cook them for an absolutely normal evening?”
- “Didn’t I tell you once? My uncle works in a restaurant, sometimes, he brings back some product for Mom. He says that ‘High Class cooking is one thing, but homemade one is another’. I suppose it is something only a cook can taste… Anyway, I learned a few tricks from him. Only to impress ladies with a taste for what is good. Also, ‘normal evening’ but an evening shared with you is a special occasion.”
- >“Hmph, do you believe that you can bait me with food, like one tames some animal? You are the one who’s going to be disappointed.”
- “I would be if you were this easy to fish. My most beautiful mermaid.”
- >“Are you implying I smell like seafood?”
- “Whu-? *Sigh* Nevermind…”
- >You open the oven and get what’s inside.
- “Gratin au Crabe, be careful, it is very hot.”
- >“Mmh it does smell pretty good… How am I going to eat it anyway?”
- “Here, a really tiny spoon.”
- >“To me it is as big as a ladle. It would be positively unbecoming of me to eat in such fashion!”
- “Do you have any other choices?”
- >She reluctantly accepts the utensil.
- >However, the layer of cheese is too though for her small size.
- >After stifling a chuckle, you take a spoonful for you guest and, after consideration, blow cold air on it to cool it off before handing the silverware to Rarity.
- >“Surprising, I was almost expecting you to spoon-feed me, reducing my poor little self to child level as you retain your adult qualities…”
- “Would you like it?”
- >“… Maybe?”
- >You smile and indulge her.
- >A part of you wants to eat with the same utensil as her, but it would be way too impractical.
- >Once you are both stated, you let the dishes in the sink submerged in water and carry mini Aryan to your bedroom.
- “I don’t know about you but personally I can already hear my pillow callin’ for me.”
- >“Agree, however, where will I sleep?”
- “I was thinking about a shoebox, with a pillow in it as mattress and my cleanest and warmest shirt as blanket, for I sleep with window open even in winter and I would be a terrible host if I let my guest freeze to death in my own room.”
- >“My parent also sleep in the cold, urgh, I couldn’t… ‘Warmest shirt’ you said? Are you going to give the one you are currently wearing?”
- “Hm? Nah, the opposite, this one is fairly light, it’s the orange vest that is too warm… Wait. You were referring to body warmth weren’t you?”
- >“Maybe darling, maybe…”
- “Adorably sly lady… Annd done. Is it comfortable enough?”
- >“Do I have any other choices?… But it is. Thank you Norman. Now if you don’t mind leaving the room for a moment.”
- “May I ask why?”
- >“I won’t disrobe myself in your presence dear even if I am thankful for helping me in my current situation.”
- “Ho right, my apologies, I wasn’t thinking, nor did I want to imply anything I promise.”
- >“No problems dear, I know that my presence usually suffice to make some men forget about even their names. Now off with you, shoo.”
- “Were you hangin’ with Trixie lately? Or was your ego spared by the shrinking ray?”
- >“I said ‘out’, now.”
- >You obey, chuckling.
- >After a moment her tiny voice indicates that you can come back inside.
- >As you do you turn off the lights before walking to your bed.
- >“And what are you doing now?”
- “While I don’t mind getting changed in the same room as you, I still have some principles and as such, I will prevent you from seeing my birthday suit.”
- >“Are you implying that I am this ‘basic’, Norman?”
- “I’m implying that I am irresistible, wouldn’t you agree?”
- >A silence.
- >Then, a clear, silver-like chuckle.
- >“Maybe?”
- >You tuck yourself in bed with a smile.
- >Today, was a pretty cool day.
