“ saying my name is so intimate, why would you do that to me? ”

there have been many instances thus far with kibin that minho has forced himself not to roll his eyes, and yet his self-restraint fails him as he finally allows himself to. he lets out a sigh and fixes the other demigod with a mostly uninterested and incredulous look — eyebrow arched and all.
“would you prefer if i called you ‘bad listener’?” he asks with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, and that’s just another consistency around this particular customer (if he can be called one at this point, considering how much he prefers to talk rather than purchase). honestly, minho never does have interactions quite like the ones with kibin whenever he’s at work; it’s either different and entertaining or long and tiresome, and he hasn’t found an in-between for that quite yet (nor has he been able to accurately deduct which interaction falls under which category).
he leans forward over the counter and rests on his elbows with the knowledge that their interaction won’t be ending anytime soon, deciding it’s far better to be as comfortable as possible throughout their (fortunate or unfortunate, he isn’t sure) time together. a beat of silence hangs in the air as he does, the gears in his mind turning; he isn’t sure if he should bother looping the conversation around back to step one to see if the other has become any keener on listening as opposed to staring after his remark. after all, it’s been a good few minutes of minho answering whatever odd questions about flowers kibin has decided to throw at him, and he’s fairly certain the smaller male is either truly listening (unlikely, he thinks, but not impossible) or spacing out in some way.
“—as i was saying, kibin,” he finally decides to try again, a bit of emphasis put on the other’s name just to mess with him, “roses and lisianthus look similar, but they’re different if you really look at them. the petal shapes are different, roses have thorns, and so on. any other odd questions for me?”
