“Yeah! Sure! The more the merrier!” And to some degree, he probably meant it. It would be horrific to visit a girl all by himself and try to give her a present, especially after that stellar first meeting. But if he wanted company- it would rather be his dog. Not another guy who also wants to give her stuff. Thanks. @God.
Alfred rushed over to the counter to pay for the chocolates- $8.60, not bad. He considered picking up one of those little keychain things that tempted many a weak man around the cashier- and yeah, picked it up.
His foot tapped incessantly as Cha-dol got his own stuff. Inferiority complex goin’ strong. God, what was he gonna do if she picked him ! He seemed like such a good potential friend, but once he got a girlfriend, that could fly out the window !
“Lego,” he said thinly, once all of it was over.
“Alright, meet me at the door !”
Something just felt... Off, about Alfred’s behavior. And it just screamed crush, or something of the like. So ! In other words...
Cha-dol’s intuition, for once, was right ! Oh no ! He had competition !
A piece of him inside held just the largest doubt about it all. Like, Alfred wasn’t a bad looking guy, he’ll admit that easily. Listen, he’s accepted that part of himself, he can admit a guy is attractive, yeah ? And he seemed like a nice enough guy, past the touch-of-death and the overly-eager puppy-like behavior he exhibited most of the time.
So... Yeah ? He slowly meandered to the cashier despite the urgency in his chest, checking out his goods (teddy bear, chocolates, candles, lotions... $35.98, a decent amount below his budget) before packing them in the basket he had prepared and shuffled over Alfred.
Lego? Was this some sort of slang? He knew it was a toy, but never used in this context. He’d have to look it up later. But you know what they say: when in Rome...
“Yeah, lego ?” Cha-dol spoke with an awkward laugh, moving to walk down the street in the direction of Mei’s dormitory room.
