Time: 11:45 am. Day off.
Setting: Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlor.
Ashton: (spots Luke walking out the door) Hi!
Luke: (glances at him, looks away and continues walking)
Ashton: (walks after him) I'm Ashton.
Luke: (continues to ignore him)
Ashton: You're Luke, right?
Luke: (nods, licks his banana chocolate ice cream) Yep.
Ashton: You're new here?
Luke: Yep.
Ashton: Do you like it here?
Luke: (shrugs) S'fine.
Ashton: (quirks lips, holds out a container) I made you cupcakes. They're strawberry.
Luke: (raises eyebrow) Why?
Ashton: Cuz I like making cupcakes, of course! (giggles)
Luke: Stop giggling. It's irritating.
Ashton: (falters) Oh...uh...
Luke: (continues) You sound like a girl. The way you get all hyped and flustered. It's annoying. Please stop.
Ashton: (sadly) Calum says I have a pretty giggle.
Luke: (scoffs) Who's that? Your boyfriend?
Ashton: (shakes head) No. That would be weird. We're best friends.
Luke: It'd be weird to date your best mate?
Ashton: It'd be weird to date Calum. Full stop.
Luke: Full stop?
Ashton: Like, 'period'. 'End of'. Aren't you Australian? (cocks head) That's a common phrase in Australia.
Luke: Whatever.
Ashton: (long pause, holds out container again) Do you want them, then?
Luke: (walks away, over his shoulder) I hate strawberries.
Ashton: (quietly) Oh. Okey then. (walks in opposite direction, sniffles)
QOTD: What do you think of Luke? First impressions?
