“Someone came in at three in the goddamn morning and asked if we could fucking gift wrap. Maybe it’s my lack of experience talking but… do people normally buy fucking batteries for birthday gifts? I want to say it’s better than nothing but I really don’t know if that is. I’ve seen all kinds of desperate in this job but that might take the cake.”

“At least they’re useful, I guess. Three in the morning, though? I, uh, can’t imagine why anyone would be in such a hurry that they’d buy batteries as a gift at three. What... what hours are you keeping there, anyway? That doesn’t sound... ideal.”

“So many guys are asking me for tips to get girls when they enter my comic shop, and it takes a whole for them that I can’t really help them with that.”

“So the tales of the Town’s Love Guru Comic Shop aren’t true? Wow. And here I thought I was having a good day.”

I’ve been staring at a screen for five hours. I’m not even sure if I still have eyes anymore. Do I look like I have eyes?

Luka hummed sympathetically, grimacing as he did so. “Gosh, it’s kind of hard to tell. Maybe if you -- no, wait, yes! I see them. Big and brown. I think you’re safe.” He laughed a little. “What had your attention for so long? If you don’t mind me asking, of course.”

With an amused look on his face at his analogy, Maddie then burst out into a fitter of laughter. It took her a while to recover but when she finally did, she pretend wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “I-I’m s-sorry. You m-make it sound like o-one kiss on the cheek and we’re g-going to get m-married and pop out th-three children already,” she joked. “I-It w-was a dare, not a p-proposal,” she teased but stepped back. “B-But don’t w-worry. I completely u-understand. A s-stranger asking to kiss you c-can be rather uncomfortable.”

Her laughter came as somewhat of a surprise -- Luka wasn’t really used to make people laugh, at least not intentionally -- but he settled into the sound after a second or two, smiling along with her, and letting out the smallest laugh himself. “Maybe I am a little, uh, uptight. Sorry.” He smiled further, happy that the situation hadn’t turned awkward; she seemed nice. “I’m sure I would have responded better to a proposal, hah. But I guess nobody’s being dared to do that. Not yet, anyway.”

“It smells normal, kinda like trees, not bad. Oh yeah, this towns fucking random. The weirdest shit goes on around here, dude.” He said, taking a drag from his cigarette. 

“Oh. Nice, then. And probably not the source of the craziness. Nobody’s attracted to trees, right? Believe me, I’ve noticed. Town’s always been strange, but usually not so... forward, you know what I mean? Anyway, guess it doesn’t matter. I remain safely unkissed.”

“I have a lot of of experience that tells me that that’s bullshit right there. That or I’ve broken the rules a few… hundred times? Thousand? I don’t know, I’ve lost count. Isn’t it selfish to only keep lips this nice to myself? I like to share. … or, you know, you can wing it and see how it goes. I’m still alive.”

“You totally want me, it’s alright. I understand. Most people do. My future husband. I’m not jumping on the monogamy train just yet. Besides… I’m pretty sure we’re going to have a very open marriage so there’s still room for you to jump in if you want,” Evan added with a wink. “That… that is a very sad way to live. I mean to each their own, sure, but it’s fun. And a great way to get to know people.”

“Now I know you’re pulling my leg. Not that you don’t seem like a rule breaker, but you look a little too young to have gotten through that many people. Talk to me about it in ten years. You know, the nicest thing a pair of lips can do is praise Jesus. Uh -- that was kind of a blasphemous joke. Pretend I didn’t say it.”

“As -- as a friend, sure. I’m not really -- no, not at all into that stuff. And, uh, you can -- I won’t -- you and your future husband -- I’ll -- just -- you guys... uh, your marriage can stay closed on my account, is what I’m... saying. And I... I get to know people the good old fashioned way: on the internet!”

“I would like to think that it is more a survival instinct than greed. Sadly, I’m probably wrong. People can be really vial like that sometimes.”

“You think so? I don’t know. I think even wanting more than you should is just a form of -- of trying to experience your life to the highest quality possible, you know? It’s just being happy, or trying to be. Besides, I don’t think I’d mind if somebody traded caring about me for presents. But maybe that’s just me being desperate.”

“Even if the person had the plague?”

“Even then. I believe in radical pacifism. Also, if somebody punched me, I’d probably cry.”

“Wow, humble-brag much? I’ve been begging people to kiss me on the streets for weeks, zero takers. Show a little sensitivity.” 

“Syddie, you’re just saying that. You know full well if you wanted someone to kiss you, you’d just have to ask.”

levichill:

Slumped over the coffee table, Levi was already regretting going out to finish his paperwork, but he thought it gave him less of a reason to procrastinate. He probably looked ridiculous to those overlooking him, hunched over the table with a bag of jelly beans and an insane amount of papers. It all happened too fast, his finger sliding against the paper and a loud hiss in pain slipping past his lips, followed by a dramatic jerk that had his bag of jelly beans falling to the ground. “Shit,” he gasped, jumping up and slamming his knee against the table as he did. With a pathetic whimper he pulled his knee up, stumbling around in pain before eventually falling to the ground. Quiet for a moment, Levi just stared at his feet before finding a pair of eyes on him, though he couldn’t blame them. He’d made a scene - he’d be staring, too. With a sigh, he shook his head. “I need alcohol. As soon as possible.”

“Oh, um -- I don’t think the cut’s that bad.” Luka swallowed, sucking in his bottom lip in an attempt to smother the smile that was working its way to the surface. Of course, the whole scene had him mesmerized -- from the paper cut beginning to the tragic fall of the jellybeans and finally to it’s crescendo, a knee-jerking (and tear-jerking?) end. It was all a little perfect and a little hysterical, but Luka refused to show it. Instead, standing up from his own chair where he’d been frozen as he’d admired the performance, he offered his hand to help the star of the show, his smile reluctantly breaking through. He continued, in his misunderstanding, “But if you really wanna be careful, I can get you some rubbing alcohol for it. And, uh -- maybe a plaster.”

Luka 📤 Sylvia

Luka: Haven’t seen you around the pool lately! You’re starting to scare me. Still alive?

Luka: If something really is wrong that probably was a little insensitive so I’m really sorry.

Luka: Double, triple sorry.

Luka: As in... the double or triple shot latte I’ll buy you to make it up to you?

Luka: Wait. I’m getting ahead of myself. ARE YOU ACTUALLY STILL ALIVE?

“Is it a lately thing? I don’t know.”

“For me, at least. But, ah, maybe that has more to do with me than everybody else. Maybe other people have been experiencing this for a while. I don’t know either.”

That’s what that smell was? Dude, using fancy ass words like virile doesn’t work for me, you’re gonna have to dumb it the fuck down.

“If it’s a good smell, I’ll claim it. If it’s not, then no, that’s not me. Uh -- well, using big words is how I avoid using, you know... sexy words. I just mean -- everybody’s kinda... randy.”

Amelia smiled, “Don’t worry, you’re not going to get any judgement from me. My first kiss came out of one of those dares.”

“As long as we’re being honest, my first kiss was with a girl who doesn’t even like men. Not that I, uh, knew that. At the time. Nowhere to go but up, though, right?”

gdievansnow:

“I mean I’m not saying I don’t wave and shake hands too but what’s wrong with kissing? Oooh, wild. How crazy. You know what’s even crazier? I don’t even have a monthly budget. I just wing it and hope I don’t end up starving. Works for me so far.”

“To avoid the conversation so you don’t have to think about how much you want me? Hippy, free-love agenda? Wow… that was an awful lot of judgement there. I am an engaged man, sir, how dare you.” Evan lifted his left hand to show off the plastic ring, wiggling his fingers around. “And he’s very handsome. But even so… what’s wrong with wanting to spread around more love? Aren’t people always saying there’s not enough love in the world?”

“Pretty sure you’ve gotta be married before you kiss someone. I don’t make the rules, so keep your lips to yourself. All jokes aside, though, that’s kind of a dangerous scheme, you know. Budgets are a must for any stable household. You’re worrying me.” 

“You’re really, you know, you’re just fine. I feel neither want nor distaste for you, so I’d call my feelings toward you fairly neutral. Positive! But neutral. And I’m sure your husband to be would be glad to hear it... nice ring, by the way.” Luka smiled at Evan’s display, though there was a certain tension at the corners of his mouth, indicating he wasn’t quite as relaxed as he would have liked to have been. “I guess different strokes, different folks. Me, personally? I’ll keep my strokes to myself. Uh -- you get what I mean.”
