The two of us

Lynnon-" Ezekiel!!!!"

(Ezekiel's eyes enlarge. He bolts up and runs to the studio)

Ezekiel-" What?!"

Lynnon-" Look! I'm done!"

(Ezekiel's heartbeat begins to slow)

Ezekiel-" Are you-"

(Ezekiel puts his hand on his chest)

Ezekiel-" Please don't scream my name like that... You scared me… I thought something happened to you"

(Lynnon looks back at him. He was breathing a bit heavily and looking away)

Lynnon-" I'm sorry"

(Ezekiel looks back up at her. She wore a guilty expression)

Ezekiel-" It's ok. Don't worry about it"

(Lynnon glances to her right)

Lynnon-" O... ok"

(Ezekiel walks up to her and takes a look at her painting. On it was a contemporary style of artwork. A male sacrificing his umbrella to a woman. It was obvious it was a romantic piece)

Lynnon-" I'm quite proud of myself"

(Lynnon crosses her arms and smiles)

Ezekiel-" What was the assignment?"

(Lynnon looks over at Ezekiel and stops smiling)

Lynnon-" We were meant to paint a piece expressing feeling. It could be joy orrr... sadness? In my case I chose love..."

(Ezekiel looks back at the painting)

Lynnon-" Do you think it's too cliche?"

Ezekiel-" Not at all"

(Ezekiel looks back at her)

Ezekiel-" I like it"

(Lynnon looks back at him a bit surprised. He had a soft smile, one, unlike any other smile he had ever had. She feels her cheeks become slightly warmer just seeing him smile at her work... or was it her)

Ezekiel-" I think it's beautiful"

(Lynnon begins to blush. What was happening?! She looks back forward)

Lynnon-" U-Um... thanks"

(Suddenly Lynnon gets a phone call which broke the award silence. Thank goodness. She looks down at her phone and Mei's contacts pops up. She answers and Ezekiel just stands and listens, only hearing Lynnon's side)

Lynnon-" Hello?"

Mei-" Hey Lynnon! Watcha doin'? Hanging out with my brother?"

Lynnon-" What?! No!"

(Ezekiel becomes a bit confused)

Mei-" Your voice seems a little weird there babe. You sure you're not with Ezekiel?"

Lynnon-" Yes I'm sure!"

(Mei giggles)

Mei-" Ok then. Anyways! Come meet me and Akira at Hino Mall"

Lynnon-" W-wha- I don't- I don't know where that is?"

Mei-" Use the GPS. You'll be fine!"

(Mei abruptly hangs up on Lynnon and she slowly pulls the phone away from her ear. She gets off her seat as she puts her phone in her pocket)

Lynnon-" I gotta go"

Ezekiel-" What? Where?"

Lynnon-" Mei. She wants me to go to the mall with her and Akira"

Ezekiel-" You know you could say no to her? She shouldn't be forcing you to go"

Lynnon-" It's ok"

(Lynnon leaves the room and Ezekiel follows until she enters the room to change. He talks to her through the door)

Ezekiel-" Are you sure? Mei's a little possessive sometimes"

Lynnon-" It's fine. I'm fine with going"

Ezekiel-" I heard you. I heard you say you didn't even know where the Mall is. Do you feel comfortable driving there by yourself?"

(After a few seconds, Lynnon opens the door)

Lynnon-" Ezekiel"

Ezekiel-" What?"

(Ezekiel looks down at her sincerely. She then cuffs his face and they get closer than ever)

Lynnon-" I'm FINE. What are you getting so worked up over?"

Ezekiel-" It's just-"

(Ezekiel pauses and looks away from Lynnon)

Ezekiel-" Nothing. It's nothing"

(Lynnon takes her hands off of Ezekiel)

Lynnon-" Then if you don't mind. I'm gonna go, k?"

(Ezekiel nods. He watches her leave and afterward he stands alone, a meter or two in front of the door. He then lifts his hand and softly touches his cheek. He tilts his head and shows a disappointed face as he, again, looks away. His face was red)

Akira-" What was that I heard you and Mei talking about... Ezekiel was it?"

(Akira talks to Lynnon as the three of them shop in a clothing store)

Lynnon-" Nothing"

Mei-" I'll tell you!

Akira-" Go ahead"

Mei-" So ya know my brother and all. He said that he didn't really know Lynnon that well, but then one day I found the two of them in the library together, and guess what. He was literally rubbing her head and promising her cake later! Knowing my brother, no way he was treating you like that without liking you in some way. He doesn't even buy ME cake! And the crazy thing was you let him do it!"

(Akira looks over at Lynnon with a smirk)

Lynnon-" What?!"

(Lynnon nervously laughs and looks away)

Lynnon-" There is nothing going on between us"

Mei-" Neither of you guys even told me you were 'FRIENDS'"

Akira-" It sounds like something's going on between you two, even if you don't want to admit it"

(Akira and Mei giggle at Lynnon's embarrassment)

Mei-" And you know, Ezekiel gets a lot of girls. He's extremely handsome, I'll give him that. No way you haven't fallen for him"

Lynnon-" He's your brother, Mei!"

Mei-" Yeah I know. I'm just stating the fact that he is a hot individual and there is NO WAY you can be JUST FRIENDS with him. I would have literally no problem with you guys becoming a couple, getting married, and having kids. Omg, you guys would have such cute babies. You're good looking too so it's bound to happen"

(Mei makes an expression, fantasizing about her imaginary niece or nephew)

Lynnon-" MEI!"

(Akira laughs at the two of them)

Akira-" I totally ship you guys together"

Mei-" Me too!"

Lynnon-" I-I'm just gonna continue shopping"
