“Bubblehead?” Brooks asked confused. “What does that even mean?” They replied as the let the word roll around in their mouth. Did it mean dumb, or something more like lost in thought. They wondered not supper upset with Elliot for the first time since their meeting. “You have a sister?” Brooks was calming down he wondered if he was such a happy guy because he knew someone always cared about him.
Something about this guy Brooks just couldnt resist his smile. He seemed so genuinely happy it was so unusual for Brooks to see someone who wasnt faking their happiness at all. Brooks followed him in line they were so drawn into him because they couldnt seem to figure him out. Brooks cracked a itty bitty half smile as they moved up in line. They were drawn back to reality when Elliot asked them a question about their name. “Its Brooks. Spelt B-R-O-O-K-S.” They replied hoping that was what Elliot had been asking since they didnt really understand their question but wasnt going to ask for clarification. “I’ll take the same as you that’s fine. I’m relatively easy.” They said softly as the stuffed their hands in their pockets. That stupid smile was still on Elliot’s face and Brooks couldn’t help letting a little half smile smirk slip again. He seemed really nice maybe people here were different. Between him and Colm and Allica they all were so nice and not at all what Brooks was used to.
