[While digging in her bag, Bumble remembered one of the things she had purchased. She pulled out a lollipop, one that resembled the Bat-Signal. Now that she thought of it, did Rusty even like sweets? Afterall, She had impulsively bought it for him.]
[Bumble holds out the lollipop, looking a little embarrassed. Did she seem childish? Possibly. Though she did hope he would like the gift—even if he doesn't eat it.]
“What’s that? A… Lollipop? Weird thing to have on you.”
[Hector eyes the candy you offer him for a moment, taking the cigarette he just so happened to light a moment ago and putting it out between his index finger and thumb. Ouch. He doesn’t react though, as the tobacco filled stick is no longer burning and instead, he tucks it behind his ear to use later. Soon, the lollipop is hesitantly taken from your hand.]
“Thanks, honeybee… That’s very thoughtful of you.”
[Unwrapping the candy, he shoves the wrapper into his pocket, popping the stick into his mouth as he continues watching the waves. A pleased hum comes from him as he pulls the lollipop from his mouth. He turns his head to look down at you before muttering.]
“Here, try this, it’s not that bad, actually…”
[Before you can refuse, he’s slouching to your height and grabbing your face with one hand. What you thought would be the lollipop suddenly shoved in your face, is actually the complete opposite — Hector’s face comes close to yours as his lips meet with yours, his tongue dragging across your own. The oddest way to share a lollipop, that much is obvious… But he wasn’t lying, the flavor was definitely enjoyable… Aside from the smallest hint of cigarette smoke. Quickly, he pulls away from your face, letting go before staring at the string of spittle connecting the two of you… Only to break it with the lollipop, twirling the sweet as he pops it back into his mouth.]
“Tastes good, right?”
[It’s as if he doesn’t realize how out of pocket his action was.]
