Licorice Cookie Fluff

Part One: First Date (1)

You arrive home, parking your car in your driveway. Slowly going up the porch and into your house. You sit down on your couch, thinking of how in the blue hell did you manage to make plans with somebody that isn't even your friend yet, all you know is their name, Licorice. It rolls off the tongue when you think about it. You smile and sit back, turning on the TV. It was just broadcasting friends.. that one show you hate love. You despise it but at the same time you really love it. You sigh, deciding to watch what seemed to be a boring episode as you turn off the TV and start making yourself some lunch. Putting a grilled cheese on a frying pan, you start to make your favorite lunch. Whistling a tune while you did it. After it was grilled to your satisfaction, your turned off the burner and put the pan in the sink. You went over to the couch and dug into your lunch, but you received a text from an unknown number midway through. You put your sandwich down, cleaning off your hands with a napkin

"Hello?" The text read, you responded with "Hi, who is this?" The answer that came through mostly relieved you. "This is Licorice, do you want to get coffee now?" You decide to say "Yes." "Alright, meet me there around 1:00 PM" "Gotcha."

You put down the phone and finish up your sandwich, checking the time to see it was around 12:45. And after a while of watching TV, your ass somehow forgot the time, and when you checked it was 12:56. You immediately shut off the TV, turning off your lights and bolting out the door, locking it. You hop into the car and drive to the cafe, arriving and parking in the lot. You step out to find none other than licorice also stepping out. Seemed like he procrastinated too. You step over to him, deciding to greet him "Hiiii licorice!" You smile "I can tell you had a grilled cheese for lunch. You got some on your face." He responded, making you instantly feel embarrassed, getting a chuckle from licorice, who wiped it off for you "Don't worry, I get food on my face sometimes too. Don't be toooooooo embarrassed, alright?" You nodded "Let's head inside." While the two of you were looking around for a table you decided to order your favorite type of coffee, decaf. You ordered your coffee which the staff complete pretty quickly, Licorice on the other hand took quite a while to decide what he wants, soon ordering a frappe. After a wait he gets his coffee as well, you two sat down at a table. Taking a drink of his coffee, licorice starts the conversation. "So what are your hobbies?"
