You had met Rikiel through Versus, Versus actually being the one to set you two up on a date because he was “ too tired of hearing Rikiel whine and cry about being too scared to get a girlfriend”

The date was going great! …Until the food caught fire on the stove when the two of you had gotten carried away with talking

You managed to get the flames down, but Rikiel just… collapsed onto the floor when the smoke alarm went off
