Love at First Sight

Reth in his doll form nervously tapped his foot on the ground as he stood in front of a building. Reth never thought he ever stood in front of this shop in his life but now here he stands in front of said shop.  The sign on the shop read, ‘Satin’s Dating Shop’ with big bold pink letters and hearts all around the sign. He has heard of Satin's great dating and love advice from other buns at bars or even at work from another prison guard. He tends to ignore what every other bun would say about her, due to not applying to him or thinking it will ever apply to him. But now he stands in front of the shop scared to make the first step. With a deep breath, he finally decides to take the first step. Reth looked around checking to see if other buns were looking at him. After seeing no other buns were looking at him, he quickly ran into the shop to just get it over with. 

As Reth looks around he sees a waiting room designed like a therapy waiting room. With small pink chairs with water and small cupcakes, with a sign that reads ‘help yourself’. He decides to take one of the cupcakes when he takes a bite he is surprised to find it a red velvet cupcake. After taking eating the cupcake he looks around to find a way to call for someone. Which he finds with ease as he sees a bell on the front desk. He slowly reaches his hand to ring the bell debating if he should just leave or not, but as he still debating he rings the bell. Which makes him jump a little bit out of surprise. 

“Be there in a second!” A sweet female voice yelled from another room.

Reth deciding to stay and not run away, waits for only a couple of seconds before a door opens where a female bun in her doll form comes out.

“Hello nice to meet you, I’m Satin and I help buns find love. So how can I help you on your journeying?” Satin sweety ask. Reth nervously looked around tapping his foot on the ground, Satin was able to quickly notice that Reth was nervous. Satin speaks up, “How about we talk about this in my office.” 

As she walks to her office Reth follows her very closely behind her. Once they get into her office they both sit down. They sit in silence for a couple of minutes before Satin speaks up again.

“I never got your name. May I have your name?” She asks.

He looks around for a second before stating his name, “My name is Reth.”

“That is such a lovely name. So Reth, what are you here for? Pratice Date? Matchmaking? Advice?”

Reth takes a second before replying, “Advice.”

Satin nods at the statement and gets up to bring out a pair of glass cups and fills them with water. She then sits back down as she sets the drinks down.

She takes a sip from the glass before speaking, “Reth no need to feel nervous. It is normal to come to ask for love advice. Love is a beautiful thing you shouldn’t feel nervous. You coming here is already a big step.” 

As Satin expected though words seem to calm down Reth as he takes a sip of water. He quickly drinks all the water before speaking, “How would you know if another bun is into you just as much as you are, especially if you haven’t talked to him?”

“Well if you don’t mind me asking, how do you know if you are in love with him if you haven’t talked to him?” Satin asks.

Reth looks down gives a soft smile and speaks sweetly, “When I first saw him at my job, he was new I was curious about him due to him being a big talk. So I went to see him for myself, and when I saw him, my heart stopped and I couldn’t breathe. Then he looks at me and stares very deeply at me. I couldn’t think so I ran from him and hid away. But now he is all of think about.”

Satin listens with deep interest and when she hears what he describes she knows what it is, love at first sight. What could be such a cute and romantic concept but in truth a dangerous thing for buns? You never know if other buns are into romance or if they just won’t use that love you have for them and turn you into a plaything. She wants to tell Reth it's dangerous but when she looks at him she sees that in his eyes that he is truly in love with this other bun.

Satin takes a deep breath before speaking, “Well I can’t answer your question due to you never talking to him, but I can help you figure out the question on your own.”

Reth looks up with a curious look in his eyes, “Really? I can find out the answer on my own. How?”

“Well first would be to talk to him and find things out about him. Figure out what he likes, and what he doesn’t like. Then as you slowly get to know him find out his romantic interest. See if has a partner, see if he is looking for one. If he is free then see if you can become his partner.”

“ I see,” Reth said and looked in deep thought. They sit there in silence before Reth stands up and speaks, “Thanks Satin, I am going to follow your advice.”

Satin joins in standing up and chuckles, “It’s no problem, I live for helping other buns find love.”

Satin walks with Reth to the door and waves him off. As she watches him walk off and once he gets out of view she gives a deep sigh and a sad look comes onto her face. She was quite jealous of Reth, to have such an innocent love for another bun, she wishes she could have that type of love.
