Peter Parker fluff- as friends or on a date, the reader and Peter go to target and cuteness, flirting and a lot of fluff happen 🥺
Some ideas ( if you don’t know what to do )
- Peter picks you an outfit to wear
- your in the makeup section shopping and Peter either gets into it or he gets bored
- in the food isles Peter says that you both should bake together
Even tho i’m not taking requests... i still wanted to do a little hc cause this idea was to cute to pass up that and i was feeling in a fluffy mood
Main Masterlist 
I could see it just being something happening out of the blue
Well for Peter at least
He was ready to just chill at your place
Maybe get some last minute work down
But for the most part he was just excited to goof around with you like he did almost every afternoon
Maybe also gather the courage to confess his feelings to you
What he didn’t expect was to be attacked with your puppy dog eyes, asking him to come with you to target
You were already planning on going with a MJ but she bailed last second
For reasons unknown 👀
Definitely not because the constant pinning was getting on her nerves😀
And since it was a last minute decision to go, you didn't have the time to tell Peter your plans
So once he reached you immediately asked him to go with you
He ‘reluctantly’ agreed, coughing away the red all over his face when you grabbed his hand and dragged him out the apartment
Now where I live we don’t have target and I’ve only ever been there once so bare with me here
Peter doesn’t know jack shit about shopping for clothes
His waredrobe consists of the same jacket, two pairs of jeans he just washes every week, maybe a sweater or two and an entire draw dedicated to tshirts with science puns
And while you found the silly puns and jokes cute, especially when he looked so proud and went on little rambles when someone pointed them out
You couldn’t help but wonder how you could do so much better...
Queue the fashion show montage
The classic black jeans, white shirt combo for starters
Definitely trying out the bad boy look with a fake leather jacket over top
Does target sell plaid pants?💀 cause if they do thats a definite yes
We’ve seen how good Tom looks in them
And maybe- possibly you slipped in a crop top 
The second best thing you’ve ever done after embarrassing him in front of the avengers 
And as much as he didn’t want to admit, he liked it too
Quite a lot
But he couldn’t let you know that
Especially since he was acting done with the entire situation, he had to keep up with the facade
Not that it was believable when his face was the shade of the target logo itself
Subtly slipped the top into the cart 
“I thought you didn’t like it?”
“shutup.” 🧍🏻
Picking out some clothes for you wasn’t any better
Because of course you picked the most revealing outfits
Constantly asking how he felt about it, if he liked the colour, the way it made you look
He always answered with the generic answer of you look beautiful in everything or just a quick, high pitched ye-yeah you look great!
Which was true, you could make a potato sack look amazing
But he wasn’t about to call his best friend sexy in the middle of a Target
Nor did he want to get turned on in the middle of a Target
So calling you beautiful seemed like the next best thing
After the absolute torcher mostly on his part in the in the clothes section
It was off to the makeup 
And boy, did you take advantage of him
Using him as your brand new canvas
Countless swatches of eye shadow, lipstick, you name it, littered his arms with the first aisle
Honestly anything that caught your eye and had a free sample you used
Ofc this is after covid
Very pouty boi every time you grabbed his arm
But still looked at you like you lite up the sun
Which was always his downfall
Willing to help
But at what cost?
At some point, you managed to reach to his face
Manz do be looking like a full on clown afterwards🤡
But he was your clown 🥰
*cough cough*
Best friend clown ig 👀🙄😒
Luckily you kept makeup wipes in your bag
Because you were cruel, but not that cruel
And while Peter was relieved, he had to make a mental note to ask if you could do his face properly when you reached back home
Maybe it was because he actually quite liked how he looked with coloured eyeliner or maybe it was because of the close proximity of your face to his
Ig we’ll never know🤷‍♀️
At that point you thought you’d put him through enough
So you rewarded him with going to the toy aisle next
Because you can’t convince me that Peter Parker is not a man child by heart
And that is not the first place he would run too anytime he’s taken to any store like target
You’ve never seen him smile wider that day
Probably because all you’ve been making him do was blush and mumble words under his breath 😇
But he was especially pulled to all the spider man toys
In fact as you both entered the aisle there was already a small boy there, giggling with his parents as he held up packaged web-shooters and playing superhero, adorning a plastic spider-man mask on his face
Peter almost burst into a million pieces of confetti
And as the family left, he turned to you with a bright smile
“Can we get some?”
“THE CHILD??!!”
“WHAT!? NO! Not the child, the TOYS!”
such a weird sentence out of context lmaoo
Fast forward the next thirty minutes, the both of you are giggling and laughing, chasing each other around the aisles with plastic swords and shields
Peter having to hold you back from jumping into a crate of plushies
You making sure he never got any silly string cans in his hands
Just pure chaos
How you both haven’t gotten kicked out? Only bingus knows
Having that moment where he sneaks up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you against him, just muttering boo in your ear to scare you
Him laughing at you
You trying to calm your racing heart
Then realising how close both your faces where
The area becoming quiet
Feeling his breath against your face
His body close to yours
All Peter saw was you and all you saw was Peter
The both of you slowly leaning in, gaze switching from his lips to his eyes, making sure that this was something that he wanted
Feeling his lips brush along yours, reading to fully press them against-
“eXUsE mE? But do you knew where the shampoo is?”
👁👄👁
🧍‍♀️🧍🏻
🦗 🦗 🦗
Peter stepped away and politely guided the lady to the aisle, earning him a pat on the head while you stood awkwardly by your cart
You both strolled to the food area in silence, immediately separating to ‘divide and conquer’ but in reality it was to fully process what just happened
While you were overthinking near the pastries, Peter was working over by the fruits, hating that the moment was ruined and wondering what would’ve happened if you weren’t interrupted
He kept thinking about the fact that you didn’t pull away
That you leaned in with him
That he felt your lips even if it was for a split second
He wasn't about to let his opportunity go to waste
And his sudden burst of courage
So as you both checked out and walked out of the store, he was quick to pack everything in the trunk of the car, pushing the cart right in front of you and blocking you from climbing into the drivers seat
“Get in.”
“Heh?”
“Get in.”
You blinked
“As in, get into the cart?”
“Yes.”🙂
hehe 
you’re in danger😀
But nevertheless you got into the cart, trying your best to find a comfortable position 
You mind immediately went to Peter rushing you across the carpark, sending you both flying into a hospital bed
But you didn’t expect him to pull out a camera along with a bouquet of flowers you didn’t know he bought
He delicately gave it to you, blushing when your fingers brushed along each other
“I just- I just wanted to get some photos for memories.” 
His hand rubbed at the back of his neck, eyes locked on his shoes that tapped on the floor repeatedly
You bit your lip, relaxing into the cart with your leg thrown over the thin plastic and flowers held to your chest
“Like one of your french girls?”
“Okay. Just because we watched Titanic last week does not give you the right to use that line everywhere,”
“Just shut up and take the pictures Parker.”
After a few moments of Peter circling the cart, making sure to get the perfect angles that captured the sun set behind you but kept you as the focus point of the picture, you started to zone out
Instead of focusing on making a certain face or direction, you took in his appearance
Hair tousled and glowing brown, moving perfectly with the wind
His face fully concentrated on taking the pictures
It was a perfect picture
He was a perfect picture
“If this is for memories you gotta get in here too Peter.”
You smiled, waving your hands and ushering for him to come closer
“I- okay.”
He walked behind the cart hesitantly, leaning over with the camera to get the both of you in frame
He had to lean a little bit closer, his face right next to yours
So as his finger pressed the button to take the photo, you took the courage to turn your head to give him a kiss on the cheek
But he turned his head to do the same thing
Resulting the both of your lips connecting, a quick peck that sent to both of your head spiralling and smiles growing
“Never thought our first kiss would be in a target carpark.”
“Can out second one be there too?”
“Damn right it can.”

hi!! i recently discovered your blog and i honestly looove it so much!! (fellow paul mccartney girl here, especially for 80s paul ehehe~) since i want to get more into paul’s solo music, i was wondering if i could ask for some song recommendations? for reference, my favorite songs by him at the moment are “only love remains”, “the back seat of my car”, “beautiful night”, and “wanderlust” and i recently discovered and fell in love with “this one” :’) thank you so much!!! <3
Hi "anon"!
I know who you are ;)
I am happy to know that my blog makes someone happy. Well, on one thing we agree: Paul is beautiful, isn't he? *Sighs*
We have good taste.
I love all the songs you quoted <3
From what I could see, you like ballads and Paul is an expert at it. I'll recommend songs from each of his albums from the 70s to the 90s (my favorite albums), I'll try to pick the best ballads, I promise.
Let's see 🤔🤔🤔
"McCartney", 1970:
"Maybe I'm Amazed"
"Junk"
The first one: I couldn't stop talking about this song. Whether the melody, the piano, the voice of Paul, this song is perfect in any sense. IT'S A CLASSIC! And it's a ballad......❤
The second one: It's a shame this song is so small. She is so calm, cozy, Paul's sweet and somewhat romantic voice makes everything better. My favorite version of this song is from the 90s (Unplugged) but I'll get there soon.
2. "RAM", 1971:
"Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey (Medley)"
Ok, can we talk about how wonderful this album is? How great Paul and Linda are together, especially singing? My favorite song from the album.
I confess that this album is a bit snobby but I decided to listen to it again and I fell in love. In the case of this song, I love the second part of it, I can't explain it, it gives me a feeling of being in a beautiful big garden, running towards the sun, it's such a good vibe.
(Sorry, but I will include his albums with Wings because YES!)
3. "Band On The Run", 1973:
"Mrs. Vanderbilt"
"Band On The Run"
"Jet"
"Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five"
Energetic. This word defines the whole album (or part of it). The 70s energy is here, everywhere. Listen to the whole album and you understand. My favorite is "Mrs Vanderbilt".
4. "Back To The Egg", 1979:
"Getting Closer"
"Spin It On"
"Arrow Through Me"
"Baby's Request"
"Rockestra Theme"
I don't know which song I speak first, maybe my favorite "Arrow...", the beat, Paul's "Ooh Babe", is one of the sexiest songs I've ever heard.
"Getting Closer" is awesome. Since the melody, the end of the song is everything to me.
I confess that I'm obsessed with this song for the simple fact that Paul shouts the word "Closer" over and over again at the end.
I don't know, this man gives me energy by doing this and other things...
"Spin It On" it's a very punk rock song.
In other words, "Punk" Paul! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
I doubt you'll be still when this song plays.
"Baby's Request" it's one of the sweetest songs I've ever heard. Listen and you will understand why.
"Rockestra Theme":
"Bringing together the best in rock to make rock music in the form of an orchestra? Impossible!"
Well, tell that to Paul and his famous friends.
There's nothing this man can't do.
(80s Paul now! Here we go!!)
5. "McCartney II", 1980:
"Coming Up" (Live At Glasgow 1979)
"On The Way"
"Waterfalls"
Well, I love the extended studio version of "Coming Up" but this version is live version....
I read in somewhere that he doesn't like it when his voice is like this live version, "husky". I Love. It gave a better difference to the music. Let's Dance!!!!!!
"On The Way" is one more song that you fall even more in love with, mainly because of the sensuality of the song and his voice itself. Trust me, I would love for him to put me against the wall to this song😏
Is "Waterfalls" a ballad? In my view, yes. And a good one!
I already cried listening to her. His need and tenderness in this song make me hug him tight and fill him with kisses every time he says he "needs love".
6. "Tug Of War", 1982:
"Take It Away"
"Ebony And Ivory"
"Somebody Who Cares"
"Get It"
(I was going to recommend "Here Today" but you're going to die of dehydration from crying, anyway....)
One of my favorite albums! It was difficult to choose a few songs from several that I like.
"Take It Away" is one of those songs that you need to hear the song before it for the magic of transition to happen. She makes you dance, dream. Happiness? Is here.
"Ebony And Ivory" is a MASTERPIECE!!!!
If you've never heard this song, go do it now!
It's a classic!!!!
"Somebody Who Cares" and "Get It" are the songs that almost no one pays attention to.
The first one : Can we talk about the guitar? It's amazing, it brings me peace.
The second one: The only thing wrong with it is that it ends. It should be longer. That song sticks in your head.
7. " Pipes Of Peace", 1983:
Honestly, I recommend you listen to the entire album more carefully at:
"Pipes Of Peace"
"Say, Say, Say"
"Keep Under Cover"
"Through Our Love"
"Pipes of Peace" is one of those essential songs for you to hear from him. Great vibes! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
"Say....." is a CLASSIC, THAT'S IT.
Paul and MJ❤
"Keep Under Cover" is my favorite song of this album <3
Do you know "On The Way"? Same feeling. Sometimes, I get the impression that he's sexy in certain songs on purpose, to tempt the fans.
The sensuality and feeling of a "forbidden love" of him make me sigh madly.....*Bites lip*
You wanted a ballad, right? "Through Our Love" is for you as well as some others from the album I didn't name. It's romantic, in a way sweet, I want a man like him in my life.🥺❤
8. "Give My Regards To Broad Street", 1984:
I recommend this entire album focusing on:
"Ballroom Dancing"
"Silly Love Songs"
"No More Lonely Nights (Ballad)"
"The Long And Winding Road"
My favorite album of his! Say what you want, I love the movie!!!!
"Ballroom Dancing" is maybe the song I listened to the most this year. It's great to have a party in your room, just you and the music. It's a trip to the 80s.
"Silly Love Songs"..........I think her title speaks for itself. I prefer this version to the original (Wings).
80s vibes YES PLEASE-
The last two are a masterpiece.
And I think you'll really like "No More Lonely Nights", hehe.
"The Long And Winding Road" is something else......❤
9. "Press To Play", 1986:
One of my favorite albums, regardless of how most people hate this album.
"Press"
"Only Love Remains" (!!!!!)
"However Absurd"
Don't be fooled by the apparent innocence of "Press". Nothing like Paul talking more subtly and discreetly about sex. I LOVE HIM.
The last two are the best quality ballads.
The first one you must know very well and the second one will make you even more in love with him, believe me.
10. "Flowers In The Dirt", 1989:
YEEEEEEAAAHHH!!!!!
Sorry, my favorite album right here.
Please listen to the whole album, it deserves all the attention in the world, especially:
"This One" (!!!!!!!)
"Distractions"
I don't have words to describe how much "This One" is important to me.
It's one of his most beautiful songs in my opinion.
"Distractions" is one of his most beautiful ballads. The guitar, the lyrics, his calm voice, it's perfect❤
11. "Off The Ground", 1993:
"Off The Ground"
"Hope Of Deliverance"
Both songs have great vibes and won't fail to cheer you up, especially the second one.
Now, let's go to the honorable mentions (that song from the whole album, I just like it) :
"My love", From "Red Rose Speedway", 1973 (This song IS love)
"Mull Of Kintyre", From "Wings Greatest".
"Calico Skies", From "Flaming Pie".
"Rock Show", From "Venus And Mars", 1975.
"Let 'Em In", From "Wings At The Speed Of Sound", 1976.
"C Moon" (90s Version) (Soundcheck)
"Goodnight Tonight", From "WingsPan"
Well, I think you have a lot of songs to know, then let me know if you like any.
Thanks for asking!!!!💖💖💖

One-Sided Tickle Fight - Sidon x Reader ONESHOT
Reading calmly beside the river, you only glanced up to make sure Sidon was still in the water. Each time you met his golden eyes, he'd give you the most dejected look. As much as it hurt to see your beloved in such a state, there was no way you would give into his puppy dog eyes. "Would you knock it off already?" You said without bothering to look away from your book. "Just go back to swimming."
"We came out here so we could swim together..."
You nodded absentmindedly and turned to the next page. "We did," You agreed. "But that was before you grabbed my foot and dragged me under the water."
Sidon huffed like a child. "I simply got carried away, and I've apologized countless times... But everybody has one!"
You rolled your eyes and finally put your book down. "I don't know what else I have to do to get you to understand! I do not have a tickle spot!"
"But everyone does." He groaned in defeat.
"Apparently not."
You didn't feel too great about lying to Sidon. You loved him more than anything, and you couldn't imagine yourself with anyone else. However, being the unreasonably defensive person you were, you couldn't bring yourself to give Sidon information that might leave you vulnerable.
For example, your tickle spot.
It was a small area on your body that was very inconspicuous. Sidon has been searching for it for months now; going as far as pulling you under the river's surface to try your feet. Maybe he was so interested in it because he wanted to learn something new about you. Or maybe he was just trying to even things out since you already knew his tickle spot. Of course, it wasn't hard to find it considering the gills were the most sensitive part of any Zora.
Finally pulling yourself from your thoughts, you saw Sidon splashing the water sadly. His eyes put all of his emotions on the table, it was like reading a book. You could see the guilt and regret in his eyes. That's when you started to feel bad about leaving the water.
Well, I mean... He did apologize... You thought to yourself. ... A lot.
Leaving your book behind, you stood up and brushed off some grass that stuck to your damp legs. It took Sidon a moment to realize you had slipped into the water beside him. With a giggle, you tapped his shoulder to get his attention.
"(Name)! The Zora Prince exclaimed happily. Before you could respond, he lifted you by your waist and spun you around. You laughed, seeing the pure joy on his face. Once Sidon had his fun, he put you back down in the water. His hands never left your waist, though. "... I truly am sorry for my earlier actions, my love. I never meant to cause you any harm."
You smiled up at him and wrapped your arms around his neck. "I know. And I'm sorry for overreacting. I'm such a drama queen sometimes."
"Yes, but a queen nonetheless."
You held back an eye roll for the sake of not ruining your sweet moment. Instead, you stared into his eyes which showed nothing but the truth. Sidon loved you, and that's all you could ever ask for. The two of you stayed like that for quite some time, neither of you daring to move away.
Of course, your hair had other plans.
A few strands of hair decided now would be the perfect time to fall in front of your face. It was enough of a distraction to snap you out of your trance. "Ah, dammit..."
Sidon didn't seem to be as fazed as you since he reached for your hair. His hand slowly brushed the strands out of your way and tucked them behind your ear. That's when he saw it. Something so small, not many people would've been able to pick up on it. But with his keen senses, Sidon did.
You flinched.
Subtly biting the inside of your cheek, you prayed to the goddesses above that he'd think nothing of it. His fingers just barely brushed against the back of your ear, but that was enough to kickstart your senses. So, you flinched.
"... (Name)?" Sidon wondered quietly.
You stumbled over your words trying to act casual. "Um... Y-Yeah! I'm-I'm fine, y'know? It's uh, all good over here! Hehe... heh....."
"Right..." You could tell Sidon wasn't buying any of it. He was always such a sweet loveable dork, but it was a different story when he got serious. He could figure you out so fast, you'd barely have time to blink.
When you realized he was reaching for your ear a second time, you panicked. Quickly grabbing his wrist, you jabbed his side near his gills. He giggled instinctively and pushed you away. The two of you drifted away from each other in silence. You could tell Sidon was starting to put things together, so you very slowly started moving back towards dry land.
"... That's your tickle spot!" He exclaimed suddenly.
With caution thrown out the window, you pushed yourself onto the shore as quickly as possible. Of course, Sidon was faster and was able to pin you to the ground before you could even stand. Sidon had the biggest grin on his face, and for just a split second, you were proud of him for finding your secret.
Without having any time to react, the Zora Prince grabbed your wrists in one hand and reached for your ears with the other. "W-Wait Sidon! Don't you dare! I swear to Din! NO! No no n-ahahahahahahaha!!" You were practically screaming at the top of your lungs with laughter. You haven't been tickled like that since you were a kid, so you were extremely sensitive. You could hardly even breathe, and your laughter turned into breathless wheezing. "T-Time out! Timeout!!" Sidon wasn't even doing much, just rubbing his fingers against the back of your ear. That was enough to send you into hysterics. "This isn't fair! I-I can't breathe! Hahahahaha!!"
After a few minutes of you writhing on the ground, Sidon finally got off you and gave you a break. You were both pretty out of breath, so you just laid on the grass beside each other. "(Name)?" He called quietly, and you hummed in response. "Why did you lie about being ticklish?"
You were quiet for a moment, not really sure how to answer him. "You have every right to be upset... Even if it's something as silly as being ticklish, we shouldn't keep secrets from each other." You sighed. "I just have serious trust issues. You're actually the first person I've been so intimate with. I shut people out and keep secrets close to my chest. I've lost a lot of good friends because of it, and I could never have a romantic relationship. You know more about me than anyone else in my life, which I guess says something about the kind of person I am..."
Sidon sat up on his arms, staring at you with a concerned look. "I'm not upset with you, Love." He reassured. "In fact, I'm quite pleased. The fact that you were able to open up and talk to me about your problems is very... humbling, I suppose." Slowly, he reached over and rubbed your cheek with his thumb. "Thank you for trusting me."
You placed your hand over his, leaning into his comforting touch. "I love you." You hummed sweetly. "Even though I don't show it as well as I should."
"And I love you." Sidon moved closer so he could plant a kiss on your forehead. "Even though I'm not always available to spend time with you like this."
You chuckled a bit as you leaned against his arm. "I guess we've both got our own flaws, huh?"
"Yes, but your flaws pale in comparison to the love I have for you."
This time, you let out a full laugh and stood up. "Okay, lover boy, it's time for us to head back. You've got a big meeting soon and it would suck if you missed it."
With a sigh, the Zora Prince stood up and followed you back to the Domain. "I suppose you're right... Maybe when it's finished, we can have some more fun?" He suggested slyly.
In the corner of your eye, you could see his hand sneakily moving or your ear. Before it could reach, you smacked it away. "Absolutely not! You've already had your 'fun' today!"
"B-But (Name)!"

Okay, it cute~
I had a daydream about Sonic subtly falling for Amy and I-
Tumblr media
Prompt:
A loud concert is playing in the middle of a reconstruction project that has just quit for the day. The Forces have been working on rebuilding the destruction Eggman’s takeover had caused, but Sonic and the gang thought it only right to award a night for the volunteers who have been helping since the start.
It was a night of fun and loud music, and even Sonic starred as lead guitarist for the occasion. Many came to see, and sitting on a raised wall, the other side half destroyed but being rebuilt again, was Amy Rose.
She was simply just laughing with a few friends she had made, but would constantly look over to see Sonic playing.
At first, he didn’t care to notice. But as the night and activities continued, he would look over when the beat wasn’t specifically on the guitar at the moment, and see her talking with them.
Every now and then, his eyes would linger just a second longer, looking at how her smile never changed and how she really did seem to be enjoying herself.
When she looked over to him, an excitement spread across her face and her shoulders hunched up, waving enthusiastically to him but trying to keep it subtle as best she could.
It would make him smile too, before returning to looking down at where his fingers were strumming.
The rift was coming, and suddenly there was a burst of energy from Sonic, because when he looked back over to her, her attention was on some dudes that had just wandered over with beverages. One slipped and Amy laughed, dodging the spilling liquid before turning her gaze back to the stage.
Sonic raced to the center and started dancing, going wild and making himself the center of attention for all to see and enjoy.
“What’s he doing?” a girl in the crowd called out, amazed but loving this new energy that was sparked in him.
He raced around on the ground, still playing hard before arching his back and jumping up to slam a string that made the crowd go ballistic. 
When the song finally ended, he actually found it funny that he exerted himself there, and looked back to Amy while he held his victory pose.
With the crowd going wild around him, it wasn’t shocking to see Amy on her feet, clapping excitedly and blushing as she cried out, “Go, Sonic!”
He smiled and closed his eyes, turning back to the screaming crowd.
He just liked having her praise again, he supposed.
He didn’t think much into it, until he came over to her later, getting up on the raised wall with a mound of earth behind it, connecting it to the once grassy park.
“Hey, there. Amy!” Sonic sat beside her, lifting a knee up and looking over the crowd.
“Sonic!” She placed her cup to the side and covered her face slightly with her fists, “You were amazing! Hehe~ I haven’t seen you play like that in a long time!”
“Yeah... I went a little crazy on that last bit, didn’t I?” He rubbed under his nose but looked up as though a tad bit embarrassed. “I haven’t really had a chance to talk to ya since the whole ‘saving the world’ thing again.” he rolled his eyes and let them rest to her, placing his wrist down on his raised knee and facing her a little more.
“Now that mention it...” She scooted closer, but Sonic just looked a bit awkward about it, looking away as though knowing this would happen, eyes drooping before smiling back to her as she continued. “I have missed that, actually.” She gave him another beautiful smile and he was happy to see she hadn’t changed too much.
“Well, that’s just the calls we have to make in life.” He looked back over the party, another band having jumped on to start some energy back in the crowd again. “I had my heart set on fighting Infinite... the things he said made him powerful didn’t sit well with me... I had to show him he wasn’t as strong as he thought he was.” Sonic took on a moment of reflection, something scarcely seen in the young hedgehog. “In the end, I really did prove my point.” he winked to her, “Friends and free choice, heart and the strength of one's convictions... the will of mind and peace of the soul... I think those things really upset him because he didn’t understand’em. Makes you kinda pity the guy.” Sonic shook his head, but in Amy’s eyes, he looked amazingly handsome and noble.
She suddenly burst out into another giggle, catching him off guard as he looked back to her.
“That’s why I love you so much, Sonic The Hedgehog!”
For the first time... in a long time... Sonic felt those words come anew.
Amy’s face turned tender, still full of life and admiration for him, as her words filled him with pride and another feeling he couldn’t quite place... but it was pleasant and made him feel good about himself.
“You’re always following your heart, wherever it takes you! You don’t hold back anything and always strive to do what you feel is right. And you’re usually always right! I hope that some of that...” She looked away and down, pondering out loud now as she placed a hand to her heart. “Rubbed off on me after all these years.”
Her sudden kindness and wonder for him made him pause in another moment of astonishment. Throughout his life, he had forgotten how unexpected Amy could be sometimes.
Sure, she could be predictable. But every time he thought that she would do something to completely take him aback and gawk a moment in awe. She was interesting, mysterious at times, but that always kept him guessing, and he kinda liked the gentle thrill it gave him.
There was always something he could be curious of when it came to Amy...
She could never be boring, and she never made him feel boring either.
He made a small ‘o’ with his mouth as his eyes went a bit wider at her response, but then he chuckled to himself, catching her attention as she looked back up at him with the same expression.
“What?”
“Heh-heh... I was just about to say the same thing to you.” He smiled gently back to her, and the look of affection in his eyes caught her heart into a swirl of ecstasy.
It had also been a long,... long time since he had said anything like that to her.
In a girlish glee, she kicked her legs up and cutely covered her face, flailing a moment before falling backwards.
“Ah!” Sonic saw her fall and quickly reached back for her, “Amy!...gahh...” he saw that the pile of dirt had caught her faster, and looked a bit sheepish at her wiggling around in the dirt with an open, exclaiming mouth that just shrieked of flattered joy.
Her legs kicked up by the side of the wall next to him, making him turn and shake his head, facing her half-way again. “Really? All I did was compliment ya, Amy...” it was a light tease, and she peeked through the crack in her fingers towards him.
“I know~ but it was from your heart. And as you said before, that’s what really counts!”
He found himself reflecting on her words when-
He shook his quills and jumped off the wall to her, it was more like a hop with the shallow distance, but he offered her his hand. “Calm down, Amy. I wasn’t trying to start any-WOAH!”
She laughed and tugged on his offered arm, jumping up as he pulled to retrieve some balance of stable ground again.
“Don’t say that! I won’t like it as much if you do...” she swayed her body sweetly and held both hands to his own.
Hunched over, he looked at the ground and then his hand, then her face, and then slowly rose up.
“If you take advantage of a girl’s heart... that wouldn’t really be very charming... would it?” she let go of his hand after holding it for a minute, then advanced towards him, boldly. She kept her chin down and placed her hands behind her back before rolling her head up and tilting her elbow slightly to catch it’s ending curve.
“...Heh.” he had moved away in a moment of shyness, but suddenly turned his head, gaining a second wind, and decided to really let his heart carry him wherever it felt was right.
“You know, Amy... I wouldn’t always push forward so steadfastly if I were you.” He teased, suddenly straightening out his back, puffing his chest out as a figure of speech, and walked with certainty towards her.
The sudden confidence emanating from him took her back and she forfeited her ‘high ground’ with a blush of retreat.
“Because you never know when I might just-” he took a powerful step forward, but it was calculated and slow, causing Amy to falter slightly in her flirty stance. “Take a bold step forward too.” he smiled, and the sudden intimacy with the gap between them closed slightly by Sonic’s initiation, caused Amy to falter again and hold her hands to the side of her reddened face.
“Eep..!” she squeaked, which absolutely made Sonic shake his head his puzzlement.
“...W-what?”
He burst out laughing, “You’re too much, Amy! Haha!”
She squealed in happiness again, covering her face and moving away, shaking her body. “Y-you caught me off guard!”
He peeked back at her through squinted eyes, arms crooked in his snickering laughter at her withdrawal from the situation, finding her humorous reaction rather cute.
He was called back to the party, and looking off after the voice, Sonic smiled and was ready to return to normal day-to-day adventuring again.
But Amy pouted and pushed her arms straight down to her sides. “Ohhhh, why do they always do that?”
“Do what..? Amy...” he looked over his shoulder, his eyes drooping as he admired her silly charms.
“You haven’t noticed?” she looked slightly disappointed towards him, losing her moment of frustration. “They pull you away anytime we’re together. It’s like the universe doesn’t want us socializing. Hmph.” she whined slightly, but it didn’t bother Sonic.
He snickered again, “Well, not everyone can have this precious ‘one-on-one’ time with me.” Sonic joked, grinning widely behind her. “Maybe there’s a universe out there that could always spare five more minutes.”
“Minutes would be wonderful.” Amy touched the side of her cheek, falling into it as though desperately lovesick. “It took you away for so long last time... can’t I will five more minutes into existence?”
With that, Sonic felt something stir in his heart.
Without so much as a second thought, only a snarky comeback in his smirk, he sped around and zoomed up to Amy.
“And what would you will to happen...? in five minutes..? Amy...?”
The air stood still. It was as though Amy’s spoken wish had suddenly been granted by hers truly.
She felt frozen in time as the party dissipated as background noise. Their eyes locked on each other’s, and a feeling of warmth and peace escalated in those precious moments.
“I’d...” she stopped herself, seeing him slightly pull up and away from their close interaction.
She was losing him... she had to think fast!
She hadn’t noticed... but his hand had stopped momentarily, it had began moving to reach for her, but paused to let her answer him first.
“...For you to want to stay with me.”
Another long pause, before-
“And will for another five minutes...”

Also, omg I feel awks because of the shorter length of the chapter since I like this to be consistent, but tbh it just felt done, so I’ll just have to extend the fic by an additional chapter bc of the next scene that was supposed to be in this chapter ^^;;; I should be able to do weekly updates now because of more time I have now and also, I like following a schedule wwww
oh and lol if if it wasn’t blatant already, new blog to separate fanfics and headcanon screams ;v;
Chapter Two: Second To You
It wasn’t unlike any other work shift that Miyoshi had ever been assigned to—not in the least. Even if his neck was slightly sore from drifting into an unwelcome ... rest on the daily commute this morning, and meeting his more than unamused boyfriend after class was the self-indulgent type of pain. Miyoshi wasn’t one to be caught daresay, off-guard in public, for he’d always gotten the quintessential hours in the night before. Though, even when he didn’t (which was more often than not), it would be infallible for any entity to discern such a myth. It was simply a delay in blinking, of course—one that was oddly taking a couple hundred seconds to fulfill, and naturally, it could be fashionable to be late (just this once).
If it wasn’t related to class or his erratic work schedule, it was innately Kaminaga who’d been keeping him up throughout the night. Contrary to the spiteful remarks that Kaminaga only knew far too well, Miyoshi never minded in the least. The back and forth texting was nothing less than second nature at this point, and as daunting as Miyoshi hoped it to be, it was the unrivaled calm among a wretched storm of some entity known as life itself.
It was nearly akin to the all too familiar tracklist that’d been playing during the month; the very one that Miyoshi in actuality grew not to mind, and the fawning from admirers over his little mishap on the train. The darting gazes and hushed murmurs were of course, all too lively, and as irritable as they always were, such strangers made him feel closer to Kaminaga. For Kaminaga had constantly been dealing with such displays of amour that it innately proved difficult to find alone time with said boyfriend on campus, and how he even had the gall to loudly proclaim sweet nothings to them in Miyoshi’s presence was most aggravating of all.
It was no secret that Kaminaga absolutely adored Miyoshi’s avid (and absolutely fictitious) jealousy, after all.
However, there was no harm in showing gratitude to those who could distinguish true beauty and Miyoshi knew that for certain. Except that it was Valentine’s day of all days, and he’d rather be doing the uniform date with Kaminaga, instead of being clad and miserably attractive in uniform.
As Miyoshi continued to rearrange the disarrayed shelf and place but another box of gifted chocolates onto the nearby trolley, he found it nearly pleasant that Book-Off wasn’t bustling with customers for once. It was only natural to catch sight of visitors searching through rows of products and gently checking the items; shopping baskets in hand and lighthearted conversation amidst. The reselling of used entertainment goods was the establishment’s main purpose, though, it was anything but entertaining when his manager seemed to adore provoking him to no end. Even the girls who’d constantly approached him with presents on the annual occasion did naught to interest him for long, and he was nearly doubting his narcissistic wiles at such a feat.
Perhaps the redundant love songs playing about were growing truly menacing, and the occasional couples gawking at merchandise were vexing it seemed. For he had no say in the matter when that horrendous manager was the son of the dean, and Miyoshi’s scheme to ruin said employer couldn’t be put into play as of yet. Kaminaga would scold him further if he’d attempted anything without his assistance or “consent” as he’d liked to call it, though Kaminaga too was quite devious all on his own. It would indeed be troublesome if their scholarships were relinquished by word of a certain bastard’s mouth, and Miyoshi wouldn’t allow for that to happen to either of them. However, Miyoshi was more than just a mere multi-tasker who could easily uphold grades and troublesome notions. This specifically was a rather personal malice that he’d like to see through desperately to the end, and naturally so, Kaminaga would forgive him later anyway.
Despite this, Miyoshi had more frivolous concerns at hand when he was eyeing the stock that was still in need of replenishing. Even more so when there was an out of place novel among the textbooks, and its very positioning was noticeably baffling considering he’d been re-organizing for the past fifteen minutes or so. Even with the constant pauses to attend to his admirers, it was unlike him to be so hasty. For he couldn’t grasp the concept that he was daresay missing Kaminaga, as said boyfriend would always appear just as he was supposed to when needed. It would prove difficult to miss one that would never leave, and was never allowed to leave in turn. That would just be unfair.
Of course, it most definitely was a consumer driven scheme that Miyoshi could never get used to come Valentine’s day and that was the only reason he could entertain such daunting notions. Those sickening and sweetened murmurs that he too had heard from a certain someone only proved to remind him that such longing was unnaturally unnecessary—or naturally , he’d supposed. It couldn’t be natural to miss Kaminaga, just as Miyoshi couldn’t have missed adjusting this silly novel. It must have been the fault of this opportunistic customer who more than likely returned the book to its wrongful location while Miyoshi’s focus was elsewhere. Though, this customer’s presence was ironically calming for Miyoshi hadn’t noticed them in the least.
Or so he thought, because as he reached to arrange the shelf yet again, his fingers were immediately grazed upon by a familiar palm and his lips curved delightfully all the same.
Shying his hand away, Miyoshi took a gander at the foolish grin staring back and the book that was now placed in his grasp. The coy smirk plastered upon Kaminaga’s visage only seeped of a subtle intrigue and Miyoshi froze for a moment too long it seemed, gently toying with the novel in his clutch before putting it away in cautions. He soon found comfort, however, in frowning at his boyfriend who appeared to show interest in the various products at the store and was sneaking glances at Miyoshi knowingly. He was always such a horrible liar.
“Kaminaga, what are you doing here? It’s not even close to the end of my shift.” Miyoshi greeted in drawls, meeting Kaminaga’s gaze and relenting with a sigh.
His timing was irrefutably without flaw and only seeped of a blatant facade that was already crumbling down. Naturally, Kaminaga only had a single reason to be in this very location as of now, and that was the constant inevitable of his impatience for tonight.
Edging closer and observing his surroundings momentarily, Miyoshi was thankful that there were no customers in sight. Though, he was merely growing vexed at the older man who was supposedly distracted by a textbook and selfishly tugged at his sleeve.
“Miss me already?” Miyoshi continued in almost hesitations and caught himself scarcely in the act, gripping all the more in a futile endeavour to hide himself.  
At the child-like motion, Kaminaga playfully hummed in response; diverting from the doe eyes that were far too demanding in all their wiles and fixated at but another book in retaliation. He’d previously studied this author’s works in the past, and innately so, it wouldn’t be odd to find himself drawn into the next redundant novel he’d put out. If it meant that he could tease his boyfriend just a little bit longer through the use of measly excuses, then so be it. The fingers entwining into his own that were soon becoming firm in their jealousy were the most adorable after all. As he finally set his sights upon the agitated Miyoshi, he could barely even stifle his chuckles and grinned lavishly in return.     
“I think you’re the one that’s missing out on me.” Kaminaga murmured and gently squeezed his hand, haughtily leaning in for a kiss. “Look at all the hours that are being wasted working, when you should be working on me.”
Cautiously, Kaminaga was then able to eye others roaming about along the aisles and immediately snaked an arm around Miyoshi’s waist; drawing him near for customers to continue on their way and concealed an affectionate kiss with an opened book. It was the very approach Kaminaga forbade himself of upon entering the store, and even so, the contemptuous grin drawn upon Miyoshi’s lips was nothing less of a cruel jest that was all the more enticing.
Miyoshi whimpered softly at the abrupt assault and taunted his tongue against the opening of Kaminaga’s mouth all the same, kissing roughly and teasingly. Though, Kaminaga merely chortled softly at the baffling gesture and found himself pushed up against the product shelf; his lower lip that was being bit at softly and how he was wincing subtly, for it was proving difficult to remain quiet. It would be troublesome if they were caught by staff and undoubtedly so, Kaminaga knew for certain that Miyoshi wasn’t frightened in the least.
He was in no need of questioning Miyoshi’s enrapturing and conspicuous guiles when kisses were being stolen at their hasty pace. It was so like Miyoshi to not admit to the obvious through words alone, of course.
Bashfully, Kaminaga was averting his gander in full acknowledgement of the blush plastered across his face and cautiously grazed his fingertips against his mouth once they separated. Naturally, Miyoshi was only smirking with that haughty glimmer in his eyes when Kaminaga could barely even muster a response. He knew he should’ve been in disbelief with Miyoshi’s selfish antics, and yet, he only expected as much.    
“As tempting as you unfortunately are, the storage room is pre-occupied and frankly, so am I.” Miyoshi responded with conceit in his drawl, subtly lifting his chin for added measure and toying his hand against Kaminaga’s chest in flirtations.
It was just a few months prior to their discreet exchange as of now, that Miyoshi was working but another unforeseen shift and Kaminaga received a seemingly urgent text from his boyfriend. It entailed of something along the lines of a ‘desperate endeavour’ that only Kaminaga was capable of achieving, and oddly enough, Kaminaga found himself being all too concerned about Miyoshi’s well-being. His worry had soon found itself faced with a rather discerning longing, for it wasn’t long at all until Miyoshi had dragged him into the closed off storage room; lights dimmed and doors clasped shut.
At the impatient click of the lock and the firm push against the wall, no further explanation was needed when Miyoshi’s lips were latched onto his own and the younger man was murmuring words of dismay between kisses. Such a perilous scenario should prove as enticing with Miyoshi’s ever demanding wiles and frustrated muses. His movements grew aggressive within mere moments and the look in his eyes had innately softened for the man before him. Even if Kaminaga had playfully jested that the situation was rather arousing, it was evident that Miyoshi’s huffs were the result of a blatant vexation from his manager’s torturous requests and that the only one who could spare him from his distraught was Kaminaga.
His break had already been ticking away and he found no shame in spiting the son of the dean by feeling his boyfriend inside of him for a little while longer. Kaminaga always knew exactly what to say, even as Miyoshi was venting likewise to a child and embracing his boyfriend all the while more between thrusts.
Naturally, there was something most provoking with getting away with what his superior would have detested and Miyoshi absolutely sprinted with that notion.    
“Are you trying to distract me from scolding you?” Kaminaga questioned with a teasing hitch in his voice; a discerning glint reflecting in his eyes.
Revenge would be all the more thrilling in due time and he’d rather not be rushed in pleasuring his ever so demanding boyfriend. Meeting Miyoshi’s flirtatious gander, he then reached for the taunting hand that was upon his chest and pressed a hasty kiss onto the younger man’s wrist.
“You’re so cute in this uniform; I’d like to admire it on you and not off you. Though, I didn’t come here for you.”
At the demeaning utter, Miyoshi darted a more than inconspicuous frown to the man before him; crossing his arms and turning away.
“Then why are you wasting my time?” Miyoshi murmured, ignoring the unhindered chortle that definitely wasn’t endearing at all because he knew better than to let Kaminaga get away with mocking him. Even if that softened stare was testing him all the more.   
“Because I’m trying to get you fired.” Kaminaga blatantly remarked; a whimsical grin residing on his lips before continuing in jest. Observing in a nearly coy manner as Miyoshi grew fascinated at the disheveled shelf that wasn’t actually disheveled at all and pulled away the novel from the other’s man grasp, Kaminaga spoke again. “Kidding~”
In spite of his rather enlightened facade, it was growing difficult to discern if the agitation rummaging through out his mind was a result of the couples whose loving conversations were naturally in earshot, or the talk of Valentine’s dinner plans that he too was eager to indulge in. Surely, it was the latter—or perhaps, neither at all. For there was no reason to be disheartened when watching Miyoshi work was all the more intriguing.
Except that, he hadn’t appeared to be actually working since Kaminaga had entered the shop. Miyoshi was constantly being whisked away by supposed gift bearing customers and though Kaminaga expected to be rather amused (with the minor pauses to work between admirers), he was only growing more wary as time began to trickle by.
At first, Kaminaga diverted his attention elsewhere because as adoring as it was to see Miyoshi’s valiant endeavours to defeat him in the chocolate count, it was evident that his efforts were to be naturally defeated but again. With that notorious smirk curved upon his visage, he thought better to browse the rest of the store in blatant curiosities. Kaminaga never really was all too distant when the women stole Miyoshi away and strangely enough, Kaminaga was keeping watch out of habit. He’d long searched the many aisles and even found himself buying what was probably unnecessary but hey, the prices were most definitely attractive—unlike what had been going on for the past two hours.
To be fair, Miyoshi did mention something of the sort that this year’s competition would surely be different and with Miyoshi’s growing popularity in spite of his seemingly effortless endeavours, that could definitely be the case—and it definitely was thus far. For Miyoshi was earnestly working harder and as amusing and enthralling as that was, something still was off-putting.
Diverting his focus from the shelf and to the next young woman that had pranced over to Miyoshi with a box of chocolates, Kaminaga bit back the sigh he so desperately needed to release. He hadn’t actually approached Miyoshi at first for it was all too interesting to take in every daunting task that his manager had set him out to do. Though concerning, Miyoshi never spited him and it was only once he’d finished all those troubling tasks that all the girls were practically lining up and attending to admirers was the only task he had for well over an hour. Even if Kaminaga’s situation was clearly no better, he was certain at most that there was an irrefutable difference between the two.  
“Hey, Miyo~ where’s my honmei chocolates?” Kaminaga bashfully mustered, tugging against Miyoshi’s sleeve at the first possible moment in a futile endeavour to steal him away.
Surely, Miyoshi’s vanity hadn’t gotten the better of him on Valentine’s day of all days. Even if the chocolates were just a competition to them, he never once had to compete for Miyoshi’s time in such a frustrating manner. Jealousy would be so much more delightful had it been that.  
At the impatient touch and the abrupt rustling of bags being pressed against the other, Miyoshi paused for a momentary second and found himself merely glimpsing at what was in Kaminaga’s grasp, rather than at him. He’d easily expected that Kaminaga would be busy as well with his avid popularity with the ladies, and had blatantly brought a preview of his triumph in mocking jest. Though that didn’t appear to be entirely the case, for the multiple Book-Off bags in hands were proving all the more daunting and Miyoshi couldn’t help but feel concerned at such a feat.
“...How many times have you visited the cash register?” Miyoshi cautiously questioned, eyeing Kaminaga’s dubious expression and the blatant frown that was making him uneasy.
For it was unlike Kaminaga to be so wasteful with his earnings, even if it was far too often that he was later than he should be for their dates because of overtime. Not to mention that he was irritably so insistent on paying every single time and bringing gifts when he most definitely shouldn’t be. Though, Miyoshi supposed it was alright if he was the only one receiving gifts. Even if deep down, he had a sneaking suspicion that Kaminaga was constantly presenting others with such ...offerings and that perhaps they were taking advantage of him.  
Irritably so, Miyoshi knew he couldn’t bring himself to scold him anymore because Kaminaga was as naive and stubborn as he’d always been. Not to mention that the nearly tumbling arrangements of chocolates beside him were less for vanity and more for a sense of worth. Maybe it was foolish and the very notion was all too frivolous, but Miyoshi wasn’t one to back down in a game of stakes; especially the one that he knew Kaminaga had always been looking forward to since their high school days. For it was more than just a mere competition; for if he hadn’t been doing his very best up until this point—
No, it would just be foolish to lose again.
As Miyoshi’s lip quivered in a precarious attempt to muster even a semblance of speech, Kaminaga’s gaze escaped him and the older man was glimpsing elsewhere it seemed.
“I’m not sure. Do you think I should get a points card?” Kaminaga managed with a discerning urgency in his nearly unbecoming murmur, fumbling about all the more. Miyoshi paused at such a gesture and as he met the dismayed orbs that were fruitless in avoiding his own, he wavered yet again. “...Maybe then all these girls will stop flirting with you, if you go and help me.”
Kaminaga was well aware that the reasonings behind Miyoshi’s seemingly narcissistic wiles were the result of a triumph in their little game and yet, the younger man was growing all the more wary. Jealousy wasn’t a colour that Kaminaga would often allow himself to be seen in, and as Kaminaga’s fixation to steal his boyfriend away was flourishing with a steeper desperation than every moment before, Miyoshi was certain at the very least that perhaps he made a mishap in his judgement.
“You can just use this instead.” Miyoshi asserted in a nervous caution, unaware of where Kaminaga’s notions lay and offered his employee card that continued to dangle on his lanyard.
Even if he’d never taken up the offer of an employee discount (or was even certain there actually was one), Miyoshi supposed there’s nothing his charms and persuasion couldn’t attain. Especially if it was for Kaminaga’s sake, whose blatant desperation wasn’t a fine attire whatsoever.
“So you’ll come with me then?” Kaminaga mused with a delighted beam curved upon his lips, ignoring the ID card that he wasn’t at all too interested in and merely reached for Miyoshi’s fingertips.  
Though, Kaminaga should’ve easily anticipated that such endeavours were unavailing and tactless for the subtle nod and discerning hum that escaped Miyoshi’s mouth was but a curious motion at most. If not only that, such unnatural decisions could be ignored and questioned upon at a later time.
Truly, however, it was the mixture of what was lacking in Kaminaga’s grasp and the seemingly strange tension building about that was most worrisome of all. For grazing against Miyoshi’s palm was in fact some admirer’s, and Miyoshi wasn’t one who’d dismiss the polite stranger who was boosting his ever growing ego (at least, not anymore). In spite of this, Kaminaga wanted to be anything but polite and it wasn’t as though he was over-exaggerating upon the idea that Miyoshi was possibly succumbing to his vanity at the worst time altogether.   
“...Did you only come here to flirt?” Kaminaga mustered gradually, eyeing the woman that had finally took her leave and back to his boyfriend who was now shying from his gaze.
“That’s insulting, coming from you.” Miyoshi spoke quietly, placing the box of chocolates among the others and gently pursed his lip before continuing again. “...Is it so wrong to be appreciative of those who admire me?”
“You know it’s not like that.” Kaminaga asserted with a subtle and desperate linger unravelling in his voice, catching Miyoshi off-guard as the older man drew closer in cautions.  
It was becoming daunting to observe as Kaminaga appeared to be fumbling about and his brow merely crinkled at every passing motion; time that appeared to elongate as words ceased their exchange. Even if the captivating eyes whose stare had grown sheltered and hidden away, Miyoshi too had undoubtedly shuddered all the same as he was beginning to miss the one that was never allowed to leave. Concerning, perhaps, for Kaminaga still stood before him and yet it was as though he was missing and Miyoshi could scarcely admit that he too, was missing Kaminaga.
“Then why would it be like that now?” Miyoshi offered softly, murmurs emitting at a most gentle pace as he silently pleaded for Kaminaga’s orbs to glimpse at his own once again.  
As a shiver whisked into Miyoshi’s grasp and at the quiet enrapturing in a most tense instant, Miyoshi sought out for Kaminaga’s palm in accordance to the erratic thoughts that began to frighten him relentlessly. If this mishap was his doing, then a misunderstanding could also be undone. Miyoshi was as entitled as he’d always been. The fault would be his, but the indifferent expression glimpsing back was even more cruel than the doubts he became uncertain of.
“...Because you only have time for strangers and not for me.” Kaminaga mumbled, retracting his fingertips away before Miyoshi could grasp them.
At the hastened movement, Miyoshi bit back his own hesitation and soon met Kaminaga’s gander that was far too telling on its own. It only proved difficult to even relay an answer when Kaminaga’s expression was crumbling and he appeared too distraught to remain stable for even another moment longer. Miyoshi’s actions were most certainly not for a sense of egotistical gain, but out of a subconscious fear that had unwillingly began to surface into the open.
Kaminaga was never one for the mundane now, was he? Miyoshi, of course, had always been the same way.
As Miyoshi’s lip quivered and he found himself disheartened that Kaminaga would even suggest such a notion, he then ceased his unnatural wavering and took a needless breath. Though, perhaps, it would be better to relinquish his pride just this once. His better judgement had already threatened to devour whole the lump in his throat. He most certainly knew what the best course of action was and so, his lips soon parted in nothing less of a hasty motion.
Unfortunately so, the discourteous tug upon his sleeve and the unfamiliar scent of what wasn’t Kaminaga’s cardamom and lavender cologne had whiffed into his vicinity, and instinctively, Miyoshi allowed himself to set eyes on what was yet another gift bearing woman who couldn’t read the atmosphere. Even if her excuse-me was anything but polite and how she even had the gall to greet him with a presumptuous excuse, he simply couldn’t speak poorly to her within the workplace and merely offered a weakened smile.
Even if he most definitely knew that he shouldn’t have.  
He had more reasons as to why that had nothing to do with work ethic and everything to do with Kaminaga, but that was the least of his concerns. For Kaminaga had dropped his gaze and shifted from Miyoshi, frowning inconspicuously and emitting a dismayed breath.    
“Don’t bother. I’ll be doing the closing shift if you need me.” Kaminaga monotonously announced, gracing his boyfriend with a dejected drawl and promptly taking leave.   
“Kaminaga, wait…!” Miyoshi immediately attempted, taking a hastened step forward and diverting his focus from the woman who he had no further business in attending to.
It was in that frail instant that he was scarcely coming undone at the sight of what remained shrouded and most definitely not unkempt, hidden beneath the nearly tumbling tower of chocolates. He’d done such a dainty job in keeping it secret from Kaminaga that he too had nearly hidden it away from himself in turn; forcefully chuckling bitterly at the ironic unveil.
Below the exquisitely wrapped and self-satisfying endeavours to triumph Miyoshi’s supposed amour, there was but one that lay lonesome at the bottom; handmade and decorated to precision, bearing a most stupendous riddle. Incomprehensible to anyone but, and yet, it could only be gifted to the very fool who would dare rival his own enticing wiles and succeed nonetheless.
Kaminaga.
