[ surely the other shoppers are more savvy....surely they know better than to buy specialty goods they don't need........ ]
Zeta wanted us all to go as a group of fast foods but there's no way I'm going as a hamburger! That's just embarrassing!
[ she's going to pout and whine about it. who would want to dress up as a hamburger....it's not cute or fun. even if the thought of eustace wearing a giant hot dog outfit would be hilarious. ]
Why? I think you'd make a perfect hamburger considering how many of them you ate the other day. What was that quote...? You are what you eat? You eat... [ he seems to drift off into thought for a moment, before he ends up not continuing, because...
he just feels like he's right already.
... and maybe he's a little distracted with trying to maneuver them to the halloween buckets. oh no, are those blind boxes he sees.
[ i can't even begin to decipher what you put in your last brackets ]
If I was what I ate then I would definitely be a cake! A really cute and pretty cake, with flowers and nice frosting.
[ don't assign her hamburger wow. she's assigning him a stinky fish sandwich then. or she would, if she didn't also spot the blind boxes he's looking towards.
[ maybe it's lucky she doesn't go down that route, yeah....
this argument would never end because who is the mature adult here...
but, also!! ] Gasp!! [ i hate he talks like this. he'd also "le gasp" but that was too much for me to type. my stomach started hurting. ] Isn't that the one you've been looking for? I guess the theme park would be the only place that hasn't sold out.
[ add to cart x2, x3, until there's a sign that says limit one per guest. ]
brb running to grab and hold one lovingly in her hands. would it be weird if she rubbed her cheek against it just to prove it was real? (she's not going to do that.) ]
I have! I stayed up all night when they announced the original drop but they were sold out before I could even make it to check-out!
[ scalpers stay winning ]
But now they're here! And there are so many of them! [ she really is just going to buy as many as her bank account will allow, limits be damned. ]
when she does run up to it, he's already reaching over to grab the other box from her. is he going to be childish and try to hold it above her, yeah. even if he is wrestling with a giant plushie in his arms. ]
Tsk, tsk. Don't you think as the proper adult here, you should follow the rules?
[ is he also not a proper adult. it's a mystery. ]
[ WHY IS HE DOING THIS TO HER, SHE THOUGHT HE WAS ON HER SIDE!!!!!!
it's her turn to le gasp, loud and indignant. there are definitely children here who are more well behaved than her, some of whom are looking over curiously. ]
Hey! [ if this were a library she would be getting shushed right about now. ] It's just one extra! It's not like I'm buying out the entire stock.
[ only because she's not that rich... tries to stand up on her tippy toes to grab at the box. rafayel why are you so tall ]
Do you think the nice lady at the register is gonna agree with you? [ don't make him sound the alarm. that said, the children are definitely staring, but surely this is a great lesson to all.
or that's the stance rafayel is taking. you know, alongside the fact that he keeps moving the box up close enough to her and then pulls it away at the last minute. ] Besides, I thought I taught my Miss Bea better than this.
[ like a cat playing with a mouse......except he's a fish and she's an untrained puppy. how dare he taunt her like this? ]
You're the one that taught me to do this! [ fruitlessly tries to swipe at the box again. ] You're the one who tried to buy three boxes of the last limited edition set!
[ was it him....or was it someone else? why are there so many bad influences around her? ]
[ the fact that she's actually getting worked up is...
kind of cute. there's a smile as he's still pulling the box away. ] Step back. Don't you think you're getting a little too close in front of everyone. [ he didn't say this before, and yet he's saying it now... yeah. ]
[ raf you are so annoying. that's what i'm thinking but also what beatrix is thinking. ]
What do you mean too close? [ genzones him again for his crimes ] How else am I supposed to grab it from you? C'mon, it's just one extra! I promise I won't do it again after this one.
[ narrator voice: she will in fact be doing it again after this one. ]
just like how raf switched up on her just as fast. that said, he does end up giving in, placing the box on her head, as if trying to balance it there. ] Okay, fiiiine. Only because you're like sooo desperate.
I guess if they tell us no, we will just have to come back again next time.
[ pats her on the head like a lads... not physically, but spiritually. ]
[ he could also pat her on the head like a lads physically.....she wouldn't leave the group chat if he did. he should have put the box back down and pushed them to another section of the gift store but instead here he is, enabling her bad behavior.
but if nothing else, it bumps him up a rank in her mind, ever closer to that coveted spot of bestie currently occupied by zeta. ]
Yay! You're the best, Rafayel!
[ he may still be holding that giant plush and they may have a giant basket (cart?) full of goods, but that will not stop her from leaning forward and giving him a quick hug. ]
Should we head to the park now? I think we got all of the important stuff, and we can always come back afterwards to do any last minute shopping.
[ you say that when she was about to leave the emotional group chat called friendship because he wasn't about to allow this degeneracy. :/ yet, it's also true that he is the number one enabler of bad behavior, even if he does make it a point to call her out on it.
but, hearing the instant praise that comes with, he does smile. even if it's clear his lips twitch in a way where it's clear that he's trying not to make it incredibly obvious. ] What, you only realized that now? We're going to have to work on that.
[ but, he does briefly also curl his arm around her waist, just for that second, before you know the plushie just ends up bumping her. but, he's also clearing his throat and getting ready to check out. ] True. I am sure you're not just saying this because you're hoping the staff changes out by then, so you can buy another blind box. [ what does it say if this is also the first thing he thought... ]
[ what does it say about her that she's flushing slightly at the accusation.....she definitely wasn't considering it, absolutely not. ]
H-hey, I wouldn't do that! [ even if she was definitely thinking about it. ] Besides, you're here to make sure I stay on the right path, aren't you? [ even though she definitely shouldn't need it. ] Everything will be just fine!
[ she blushes a little more at the arm around her waist even if it's momentary before clearing her throat and pulling them towards the checkout with her free hand. wow.....handholding.....she is not thinking about how all of this probably makes them look like a couple to anyone curious enough to glance their way ]
he's looking at her in half (fake) exasperation and amusement. before, he gives an almost exaggerated shrug. then a quiet: ] Aren't you a big enough girl where you should be swimming on the right path even without me... [ but, when she grabs a hold of him, he does smile just a little as he falls in step with her.
wait until they run into someone they both know... and their kid or something.
the start of office au 3 where they unearth the office goblin...
but, hopefully they can at least make it through checkout. the amount would probably make anyone second-guess their purchases, but rafayel slides his smart phone over the reader, before turning back to her with their goods. ]
Now that you're the new owner of these little guys, you're not going to let go now, are you?
