[ 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?
