[ at dusk nearby the apartments tonight, there is a small stall, lit up by lanterns outside an in behind the curtains covering the inside. a delicious smell comes off of it, and the coast seems to be clear around the stall. as the sun sets further, the light inside illuminates the shape of a small person... or creature, judging by the tall ears on top of its head.

care to take a peek inside? ]

[ he traces the peeling wallpaper with his fingers, keeping silent until they get to the stairs. his mind starts to race as he scales the stairs, and he'll stop at the door to the second floor. ]

You go up from here, I'll be fine heading down this much alone.

[triggeringbiggering]

[He looks at him.]

You okay?

[fraternal]

Yeah! Just fine - goodnight, Once'.

[triggeringbiggering]

[Well, Garry wouldn't lie. He waves.]

Okay, 'night!

[fraternal]

Night.

[ he'll close the door between the two of them, but pause after he does. ]

Once'?

[triggeringbiggering]

[He's already taken a few steps up, but he looks around.]

Yeah?

[fraternal]

I kind of wish you would- ask me out on a date. Not that this is really the best place-

[ a beat- ] --I guess I'm trying to say I like you.

[ another beat, then he's quickly walking towards his room. ]

Sorry, forget I said any of that- sleep well.

[triggeringbiggering]

[He stares for a while, stunned, until a hand curls around his shoulder and he yelps to shoot his way up to his room.

Wh-what...]
