[centre][b][h1][color=aba000]Cody[/color][/h1][/b][/centre] [@BlackPanther] Cody used the menu as a way to put a buffer between Aron and himself, because he certainly did blush, unable to help it. As Aron spoke, Cody took the time to make sure that when he didn't open his mouth he wouldn't just make a spluttering sound. [color=aba000]"Hey"[/color] He said, relieved his voice came out normal. He glanced at the menu, as if he wasn't just going to get the same thing he always did, [color=aba000]"Lets just go with the burger and fries like always."[/color] He glanced up, and smiled shyly. He always noticed that Aron's ears were red around him, but he couldn't decided if that was just how he was or....if it was something else. He clung to the hope that it was something else. He was just...so...handsome. So cute. So...Aron. How could Cody not like him? He didn't want Aron to go away, didn't want this interaction to be at an end so soon, so he called out to Gage, raising his voice to be heard, a few seconds after Cassie called out to him [color=aba000]"Can I have my usual, Gage?"[/color] he looked to Aron once more, hoping that it wasn't too obvious that he wanted him around just a little bit longer. [color=aba000]"H-how are y-you?"[/color] he asked nervously, stuttering slightly on the question. At that slight stutter, Cody figured this was just getting....out of hand. He needed to know...maybe he could drag Aron away from the others on the trip...he pondered that a moment as he waited for Aron to answer.
