[ damn...........rich people have it so easy. imagine being rich.
except now she feels bad again?? it definitely wasn't her intention to force him into paying for everything. it was just supposed to be a reminder to be smart about their purchases!! but now here she is with another cute hair tie on her wrist............cinnamoroll really is just too cute. ]
You don't have to pay for everything. That's not very fair. I can pay for our food.
[ she'll just have to work extra hard to make up for today's financial hit!! ]
rafayel genuinely doesn't mind, but he also understand that beatrix might feel differently. so, he does at least try to put her at ease. you know, for all the bullying he does. ] But, you were so excited about coming today. All the merch you thought were cute online... trying all the churro flavors...
[ the melon churro.... salivates ] How about this? I'll buy for today and you can pay me back with a favor later. [ is he going to make her do something embarrassing again... perhaps. perhaps not. let rafayel at least pretend to be well-behaved. ]
[ NOT THE CHURRO FLAVORS she's salivating already. didn't they just get here? didn't she just have breakfast like half an hour ago? doesn't matter, she's hungry again. the promise of delicious food and cute merch is so powerful she considers his deal for a moment, even though she knows in her heart that his favor will probably be for her to do something stupid. ]
Are you sure? But I'm the one who invited you today. It doesn't seem very fair to make you pay.
[ even if she will want to die during the favor later. ]
he's already thinking about the 20 other tantalizing dishes that caught their eye when reviewing all the featured restaurants within the park. i mean, who doesn't want blue.... cinnamaroll curry, or i forgot what else is bad there. ]
Trust me, you'll see that I'm the one getting the good deal here. If you're worried about what I was going to ask you for... you can just be my assistant for a day. Not today, though. [ pokes her cheek. ] Today you just get to focus on having fun.
but....well.....okay. if he's really okay with it!! and she really does want to eat all those churros, and buy the cute accessories, and go on every ride. wow, maybe rafayel isn't as annoying as he makes himself out to be? (citation needed.)
beatrix brightens and starts turning towards the shelf of cute goods—and then seems to think better of it, tuning back around so she can lean up on her tippy toes so she can press a really quick kiss to his cheek. ]
....Thanks, Rafayel.
[ and now that she's embarrassed herself so thoroughly she has to go bury herself alive (or burn herself to death in office au), she's running away to do her shopping. ungenzones you ]
if only he knew what beatrix was thinking. maybe then he wouldn't be smiling in blissful ignorance and all the more misguided by what's the come. he's about to tell her to slow down a little, fully prepared to sound dramatically bothered, but only for her to suddenly turn around.
he's about to tilt his head curiously, before he ends up feeling her lips on his cheek.
his eyes widen slightly, and he mostly just stands there stupidly. ] You... [ he suddenly feels overly aware of the way his face is a little red. clearly this is all her fault for being shy first. he's merely contracted her condition. that's what he tells himself as he eventually follows after her. ] You really are silly.
[ tapping her shoulder to annoyingly poke her cheek when she turns around. ]
Edited (i was so shocked at you freeing me.... i forgot to shit post) 2025-09-03 21:05 (UTC)
[ YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHITPOST, YOU CAN JUST WRITE A NORMAL TAG
anyway because rafayel is a tall man and beatrix is short, he catches up to her in no time. her face is still bright red from that single impulsive decision, which he can clearly see when he jabs her in the cheek. ]
Hey! What was that for? [ please let her die in shame in peace. ] Go finish your shopping!
[ no normal tags allowed i need to have someone in the background with their wriothesley umbrella. rafayel sees them and thinks wow, that isn't that appropriate for a family friendly establishment like this, but says nothing more on the matter....
you know, aside from his gaze falling back to her shooing him away. ]
Now I know how the flies and mosquitos feel. [ :( ]
I was making sure you don't miss anything on our master list.
[ it's fine, the person to their left has one of those lifesize floppy sylus dolls cradled lovingly in one hand. merch really is out of control these days. speaking of merch— ]
The master list?
[ ....
OH RIGHT. she heads back towards the shelves but then freezes again. ]
Shouldn't we get most of it afterwards though? Otherwise it'll be too much to carry.
where is the cute merch. where is the person wearing their elythorns nuis in their oshikatsu bag. ]
Then can't we just put all our stuff in the coin lockers. [ he gestures to the lockers in the front of the park. ] But, maybe we can grab the really big stuff after? [ what merch could they possibly need that is that huge... ]
[ that can be them.....ties this back to office au somehow. ]
Oh! That's a great idea.
[ japan you really have everything. now that raf has proposed the solution to all their problems, she's brimming with excitement again, enough to grab his hand and pull him back towards the merch shelves. ]
What about the giant Pompompurin? Didn't you say you wanted one of those?
the pompompurin hat for them to put on their thorns nui. but, oh... that's all it took to convince her, huh? the idea does make him a smile a little. albeit, you know in a slightly smug way. ] Well, duh. I always come up with the best ideas. You just don't listen. [ lol. ]
Are you sure you want that? You won't complain about running out of space in your home again? [ put he's already picking it off the shelf. why is this thing so big actually? he can't see and hopefully he isn't knocking stuff off the shelf like he's at book-off. ]
[ at least he won't cry like he's at book-off even if he knocks something over....
but, he has a good point about running out of room. there's only so much stuff a one bedroom apartment can fit after all. not that the logistics are stopping her. ]
I won't, I promise! I'll find a way to make room.
[ although.... ]
But maybe we can keep him at your place until I clean everything up? [ hehe? ]
yet, even when it's so expected, he finds himself smiling. you know, behind the very big exposed hole that is pompompurin. ]
... I'd expect nothing less from our resident troublemaker. But, sure. All I got is room at my place, anyway. Even if the storage room is looking a liiiitle unruly already. [ between their crane game winnings and his art supplies...
but yeah, they absolutely gachapon. this is why beatrix has to work overtime sometimes, so she can pay for her blind box addiction. what is money for if not for food and little guys? and paying rent, probably. ]
Why do you even have that big of a place anyway? [ better question is how he affords it.... ] You could probably save a lot of money if you moved to a smaller apartment.
I need a room for my art supplies, and an actual studio to work in, don't I? Plus, I am technically working two jobs... [ between his art and the the office. albeit, he's never viewed his art as an actual job, and he'd like to ideally keep it that way. ]
Besides, if I moved into a smaller place, where would all the little guys go?
Hey, I don't put all my little guys at your place!
[ just some of them.....most of them........storage is at a premium these days, okay!!! but since they've agreed to go on a shopping bonanza, she's back to adding things into their basket. blind boxes, cute hair accessories, and even: ]
This would look pretty cute on you.
[ holds up kuromi bowtie in front of rafayel. actually it's more like she's holding it up in front of pompompurin but close enough. ]
[ tell that to the homeless little guys all over the world, bea...
but, he still dutifully follows behind her, just doing his best not to knock anything else down. but, when he peeks over the jumbo pompompurin, he looks at the bowtie and then back at her. ] Then are you going to be the matching My Melody? [ tipping his head to point as a matching ribbon tie that goes onto clothes.
pink and blue is a combo, right? ] That reminds me, we never did start watching that, huh...
[ where is our my melody kuromi netflix series watch ]
[ just say the word and i'll be there for the watch party....
but there's something embarrassing about matching accessories. that's basically what couples do, right? so does that mean they're officially a couple?? or is this more of a friend thing? she and zeta match all the time, after all. maybe it's just a friend thing then? he seems so nonchalant about it............. ]
We can start it tomorrow then! I'll be way too tired tonight.
[ she's giving it her all at the theme park today!! but okay, one kuromi bowtie for rafayel and one matching my melody ribbon for her. ]
[ the idea that they both go off into their own tangents internally is so funny. but, in reality, this time rafayel isn't thinking much beyond perhaps surpassing zeta. he would wear the bow tie unprompted in front of her, or put it on his lunch bag...
does zeta care... probably not, but that's also not the point. pettiness doesn't have boundaries or an expiration. ] So you've already steeled yourself to playing until you drop today. [ it was always the plan, but the idea of her definitely regretting it tomorrow is a little funny. ]
What about... the Gudetama waffle maker? [ on top of the 100 random gadgets they probably buy on a whim and have stores up somewhere. do they even make waffles that often? their waffle and gridle era. ]
[ does zeta even know raf exists other than as Some Guy.....the important questions here
but zeta isn't here so the point is moot! all that does matter right now is the wealth of goods in front of them, including the prized gudetama waffle maker. does beatrix have any kitchen space for specialized kitchen gadget number 42934, no, but that's not stopping her from squinting at the thing. ]
I do love waffles..... [ they've probably made waffles like once in their lives. ] Plus this one's limited edition! If we don't get it now, we might never be able to get it again!
[ it's somehow funnier to think zeta doesn't even know he exists while he lives in this one-sided rivalry (delusion). regardless, he does seem satisfied enough that it's in the cart. you know, next to their other growing list of awful things they will use once and then store away to never see the light of day. ]
Yeah, we can start making waffles on our days off. [ there is sadly no one who can stop either of them. there is no voice of reason here, minus the judgmental stares they get from actual children and their parents, probably. ]
[ THAT APRON IS SOOOO CUTE so naturally she immediately falls in love with it as soon as he shows it to her. also it's blue? her color? she can't say no to that. she immediately grabs it and holds it up in front of her. ]
I've always wanted this apron! It's soooo cute. [ raf.....you have such good taste ] But what about you? You need an apron too.
[ are they just going to match everything.....sure why not ]
brb, give him a second to look over the giant plushie he's carrying. ] It looks good. As I thought, blue really is your color. [ nodding, before he looks back to the shelf, and he tips his head between a pink version of it, and...
[ so sorry but she can't help but stare wide-eyed at the apron he picks out. ]
That one? Seriously?
[ it's so.......she wouldn't call it ugly per se but.......well, it doesn't really matter, does it? if that's the one he likes, then that's the one they should get. besides, the longer she stares at it, the cuter it gets. growing on her like some kind of sea fungus.....just like rafayel? no, jk. ]
You said he's your favorite, right? Then we should definitely get it.
