Needles n'thread, the most important part of handicrafts~. Oh, I should get pins too, and maybe a cushion...

[oh my god he's forgotten EVERYTHING hold this thought he's wandering away to go get them.





good luck with the cashier and sales associate]

[tepidity]

[ ... mika how could you. nisaka is just staring at the departing boy's back like he'd just been betrayed at the highest level.

there is a throat cleared behind him, and he jumps a little, slowly turning to the friendly smiles of the sales people. he sighs inwardly, resisting the urge to flinch back as they lean in to talk to him.

he'll remember this, mika......... ]

[allforshu]

[Oh, those are cute ribbons..! Uwah, bows!!! What pretty patterns too... and he'll get some more yarn too, ones he can reach now~.

Mika'll return in a few minutes that feels like hours, surely, with a small armfull of stuff. The pin cushion deserves special mention because it's a black and pink skull. Take his money!!! This is it!!]

I promise, I'm done now~. Thanks a lot for waitin' for me, Nisa-kun~.

[tepidity]

[ nisaka, as per his ways, doesn't respond save for a faint tilt of his head as mika approaches. the sales people smile sunnily at mika as one starts ringing him up, and maybe if mika is paying close enough attention he'll find that his expenses don't actually rack up that high this time... weird...

ANYWAY, when that's all done, nisaka takes a couple of bags in his arms

but saves the bolts of fabric for the other boy, heh. ]

[allforshu]

[... Oh, that's cheaper than it should be..? Mika squirms a little, wanting to point out the mistake and also wanting to save money, but Nisaka's looking ready to go and Mika's hungry, too... so he pays what he pays and takes his things without complaint, thanking the cashier kindly and leading out.

The moment they're outside though he's speaking up!!!]

What'd ya do?

[tepidity]

[ a carefully blank look, though he doesn't really look the other's way. he seems busy rearranging his hold on the bags. ]

Buy knitting stuff?

[allforshu]

That stuff was definitely cheaper than it shoulda been! And I don't think they'd make a mistake like that, so-- I mean, I ain't complainin' or anythin', but...

[Nisaka!! Was the only one up there!!! So it's his fault..?]

[tepidity]

[ hm hm hmmm

how to put it... ]

Employees get 30% off.

Nnah?!

[allforshu]

[???????????]

Nnah?!?! Ya got a job?!

[tepidity]

Kind of, yeah.

[ they ganged up on him... what was he supposed to do... ]

[allforshu]

[!!!!]

Congratulations, Nisa-kun! Guess we'll be seein' each other pretty often even outside of me teachin' you, huh~?

[tepidity]

[ he makes a bit of a face, before glancing down at all the bags they're carrying. ]

Won't this last you for a while?

[ not.

not that he's necessarily opposed to this, but. ]

[allforshu]

Well... yeah, they will. But I'll still come visit ya.

[The shop's nice. Nisaka... is okay? For all their first interaction was, Mika does kinda enjoy the other's company. He's easy to get along with, even if he's rude sometimes. Guys are just like that in Yumenosaki too.]

Just make sure ya get me good deals, okay~? I'll bring ya lunch in exchange.

[tepidity]

Don't bring me lunch. [ that'll just get the shop ladies gossiping! ] It's not like I'd be making much use of the discount anyway, so someone may as well take advanage of it. [ it's just practical, okay. ]

[allforshu]

[Even if he's rude sometimes........... Mika won't bring him lunch, but maybe he'll come by with candies when he's shopping and hand a few over.]

Thanks anyway, Nisa-kun~. You don't really seem the type, but you kinda look after others, huh?

[tepidity]

[ he arches a brow at the other.

utterly deadpan, ]

What are you saying? I don't seem friendly?

[allforshu]

Not a bit!

[Obviously.]

But~, even when you're not drinkin' ya tell me I shouldn't sell myself short and yer lettin' me use an employee discount, so I can't help but think so~. Sort of like a sour candy with a sweet inside.

[tepidity]

[ he just shakes his head. ]

If I'm going go be compared to a candy, I think I'd rather be a jawbreaker.

[allforshu]

Nn? Are ya long lastin'?

[That's what that means, right.]

[tepidity]

[ his smile is sharp. ]

I'm hard to swallow.

[ ... not. not in the dirty way okay. ]

[allforshu]

But yer easy to suck on..?

[this is a disaster]
