[He laughs at that.]

Now it's only tempting. [Don't tempt him with this... He'll start a food fight. But actually, no, Hazel seems the competitive type and he doesn't want anything in his own hair.] So you're helping me out completely, this time?

[churchbelle]

[He will dump a can of olives down Jae-Ha's shirt, do not tempt him...]

I s'pose so. That alright, or should I keep outta the way?

[razzledazzles]

Why wouldn't it be alright?

[Get over here, nerd. He's already washed his hands and started on the dough, but he can look expectantly to Hazel as he does.] Everything is more fun with company. Want to help me with this, or would you rather do a different step?

[churchbelle]

[Oh boy, time to ruin a pizza... He'll scoot over to wash his hands, first.]

I'm not that particular. Why don't ya stick with the dough, since I'm not gonna throw it around with ya? [He'll mix a sauce or some other old man task.]

[razzledazzles]

Because you want to see my skill in action? [He laughs.] I do enjoy trying new things. Why don't I try making grits myself for tomorrow morning? I've watched you a few times.

[So he should know!! Anyway, back to this dough... Doing whatever you do with pizza dough before he can actually try to spin it on his hand...] Have you had pizza before?

[churchbelle]

[Watched him stir a pot, yes. His cooking level is "survivable," but that's fine.]

Knock yourself out. [SURELY, IT WILL GO GREAT] I've had somethin' like it, from the pictures.

[razzledazzles]

[He will make fantastic grits and no one will stop him!! Surely. Seeming pleased by both of these answers, he smiles down at the dough.]

It will take a little bit for it to be done, but on such a relaxing day, we have time to spare, don't we? [He doesn't know what time it is, but they can find things to do, he's sure... He's positive.]

[churchbelle]

[Ah yes, all of their day off from nothing free time. What ever will they do with so much free time? Hazel wonders this very seriously while he mixes some sauce.]

Plenty. I wasn't plannin' on goin' out. [Maybe he'll teach Jae-Ha how to spell "pizza"!!] When am I gonna see that thing spin?

[razzledazzles]

Don't be so impatient. I have to make sure it's just right.

[Which means first taking it out of the bowl and messing with it on the flour covered counter. But that only takes a few minutes, and then he lifts it to try. ...The first try is so silly that he has to keep trying, but eventually, a few tries later, he does actually get it a bit!! See!! Talent.]

[churchbelle]

[This man... is a loser... And yet Hazel is watching him try to toss a pizza crust, and it's kind of endearing?? Feelings are ruining him.

He'll be nice enough to wait until Jae-Ha kind of has it before he claps a little.]

Mighty impressive. A lil practice and you'll be table to take that act on the road.

[razzledazzles]

The soaring dragon who can also make pizza fly! I think it would be a grand show.

[He jokes along with it, letting it fall back to the tray on the counter in a little puff of flour so he can flatten it out like he's supposed to. What a nice moment this is. This pizza will be mediocre at best if they don't screw it up in the process, but Hazel is close enough that he can lean over and bump shoulders with him.

It's so childish, but now it's an okay sort of childish. An allowed kind. So he'll smile down at his dough and feel glad about this.]

I'll leave it to you to spread the sauce.

[churchbelle]

[Oh, good, he can't stir this forever and pretend he's still helping. He leans into Jae-Ha's leaning, glad for even that much affectionate contact, and then slides the sauce mixture over to pour and spread it.

It's going to be such a mediocre pizza...!! He's glad.]

Would ya let me tag along, if ya hit the road? [gay pizza roadshow???]

[razzledazzles]

I'd be nothing without a beautiful assistant.

[So, of course! A show is always better as a duo, probably. And for the sake of having too much fun making silly pizza, the answer is of course yes. Now he can help out with these various toppings. Cheese goes next!!]

[churchbelle]

[Assistant............

Cheese goes next, sure. They sure are putting cheese on the pizza and what the fuck, the assistant??] Just the beautiful assistant?

[razzledazzles]

[Hazel is so cute and predictable sometimes...]

Oh, did you want to be the co-star?

[churchbelle]

[SPRINKLES CHEESE AGGRESSIVELY.... don't TEASE him...]

I think I deserve a lil spotlight of my own.

[razzledazzles]

You're not a beautiful woman, but if it's what you need, I could speak to you like one.

[Says the guy who was just making out with him, but like, no homo. He's busy teasing, leaning forward to take that cheese-sprinkling wrist and bring it closer to his face, holding his arm tenderly and letting his other hand slide down it.]

Everywhere you go is a spotlight on its own. You're just as stunning— no, more stunning than the night sky itself.

[Ah, see, it sounds so cheesy when he's speaking like he's laying out lines to a girl, though.]

[churchbelle]

[He's so embarrassing... Hazel honestly doesn't understand what the hell Jae-Ha is talking about until he starts reciting stupid lines like that.

Wow. Surely, this is not what women like?? Jae-Ha...]

Alright, alright, give it a rest. I think I like it better when ya keep it simple.

[Just tell him he's pretty without all the flowery bullshit.]

[razzledazzles]

What a picky guy you are.

[He loves it. It's nice that Hazel loves the more honest admissions and little lines than his exaggerated speaking about beauty. It'd feel a little weird to keep doing that to a guy, anyway, somehow... His mind doesn't make much sense in this way. Women just deserve that sort of treatment, right?

Hazel... Well, Hazel is beautiful, and he'll gladly tell him so plainly. But he also wants to kiss him some more, so this really is complicated. Or it's just as simple as that.

He lets go of Hazel's wrist after a laugh and a simple kiss is pressed to his forearm. Can't be kissing those pizza making hands.]

I was only joking. We're partners, aren't we?

[churchbelle]

[Kissing his arm... He'll accept it with a small smile, that he is not hiding for once. Back to pizza toppings it is, while he thinks about Jae-Ha's sweet words and how much nicer they really do sound without being dressed up. He's weak to frankness, apparently...]

That we are. I can't help bein' a lil particular about certain things, that's all.

[Now, where is the can opener, so he can make short work of these olives...] Did ya see the can opener?

[does jae-ha

know what a can opener is]

[razzledazzles]

I don't think so.

[What is a can opener?? Something opens cans other than Kija?? No wonder they're sold so often in stores. He blinks around the counter and then pulls open a drawer curiously, pulling out a potato peeler.]

Is it this?

[churchbelle]

[Oh.

Oh, honey.]

No, I'm afraid not. Give it another try.

[razzledazzles]

[Hmm. He puts that back, shuffling through the drawer some more before pulling out a pasta spoon. Why do they have this...]

This?

[churchbelle]

[This shouldn't be funny, and yet...]

Does that look like it'll open a can? One more and I'll show ya the secret.

[razzledazzles]

[Then... there's only one choice remaining, because he's only choosing to look in this one drawer! He puts that back, confidently pulling out... a pizza cutter.

He holds it up and stares at Hazel expectantly.]
