Unconventional
--tales about couples that aren't exactly canon.
Warning: Some minor spoilers for US viewers. While I, too, am a US viewer, I don't have patience and watched the next five or so episodes on youtube.
I. Eva and Ezekiel
For a while, Eva and Ezekiel were the only two at the other island, in a posh resort that the losers inhabited. She found him oddly infuriating, he found her scary enough to not cross.
They ate their meals together, though. He spotted her heavy weight lifting, although it was unneeded and he was almost certain that even if she did need assistance, he wouldn't be any help anyway. She sometimes played video games with him.
He always beat her in the games, but she didn't care much. She could beat him in the other things, like swimming laps in the pool or around the running track.
One night, at dinner— Sheppard's pie, with chocolate cake for dessert—Ezekiel and Eva speculated on who would show up next.
"The blonde girl." Ezekiel stated, cutting into his cake after the main meal. "Lydia or Lindsey or whatever. She's not smart enough to stay."
Eva cocked a brow. "Yeah, right. It's going to be that fat kid, Owen. He'll have a heart attack and get kicked out."
Ezekiel rolled his eyes. "So, that's what you think, eh?" He shrugged, eating the cake.
"Yes, that's what I think, scrawny." The angry girl answered, glaring at her companion across the table, spearing a piece of tender pastry.
"Fine, fine." Ezekiel said, attempting to remove his neck from the chopping block he had just put it on. Thinking, and trying to diffuse the situation, he looked down to his plate, nearly empty.
"Want to go swim?" He finally asked, hoping for two things: that he didn't sound scared and that she wouldn't grow even more angry as she did sometimes, for no apparent reason at all.
She stood. "Sure. I'll meet you there." Turning on her heel, she went to change into her swimsuit.
He hurriedly ate the remaining piece of cake off his plate and started towards his room, wanted to get a head start in the pool so he wouldn't be beat by a girl—again.
