「08」Action and otherwise!

[ragazz0dinebbia]

[ ... a lot of people out and about today, isn't it? Count Chrome among them, as she's hurrying back to the apartment she shares with Mukuro clutching a brown paper bag and a full plastic bag with the name of a supermarket printed on it. Because of the other night's dinner with him, she decided to overcome her hesitation of shopping in a

WELL IF YOU INSIST: TEXT

[harutastic]

[a text is coming your way!]

Chrome-chan, hello! ♥
How are you doing? Hopefully it's a nice day for you since the weather is okay too! Would you like to come with Haru for groceries shopping? Haru'll treat to snacks! Maybe noodles...!

TEXT: This curse is perfect for you why aren't you kissing everyone outside?

[ragazz0dinebbia]

[ a reply zooms back! ]

I'm okay, thank you for asking.
Okay, I wanted to go to the supermarket too.
I'll meet you there?

TEXT: oh i resent that i am not the kissing monster

[harutastic]

Yes! Let's meet up there!

TEXT - ACTION

[ragazz0dinebbia]

See you ^^

[ last text before heading out ]

[ Haru, you might have waited a few extra minutes longer. She just... well bumped into someone, helped him, and kissed him too. XD ]

[princeserpent]

[Guess who's out and about on the street heading to get his own apartment? Snake's pretty focused on getting directions from his communicator so he isn't paying attention as well as he should on things happening in front of him. Hopefully, he doesn't bump into someone on the way~.]

[ragazz0dinebbia]

[ She's just kissed her first boy after leaving the apartment, so she is red and rushing towards the supermarket, not really seeing where she's going and runs smack into Snake! ]

Oh no, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!

[princeserpent]

[Snake staggers a bit back.]

No, it's alright. Normally, I'm not so clumsy as to run into people. Are you alright?

[ragazz0dinebbia]

Y-yes, I'm okay.

[ She touches him on the arm because she made him stagger back, and notices that... well, you seem to be sleepwalking, sir. ]

Are... are you all right?

[antimafioso]

[ What an amusing day. How flustered the network became. When she left earlier, he anticipated this: the flush on her face as she returned. Before he hadn't asked where she was going, him curled in a corner of the couch with New Super Mario Bros as she let herself out. Now he stands, dropping a book to the cushion without marking the place, walking toward her to take at least one of her bags.

Paper and plastic, nondescript markings, but as he's closer he can discern the contents. A smile spreads, buttery and congratulatory, as he holds out his arms for the load.]

Why, you went to the store. Was it so terrible?

action;

[ragazz0dinebbia]

[ She froze. It did strike her as strange on how he was silent the whole day while she was away. She rather hoped that he would be out when she returned, but there he was, moving closer to her in order to relieve her of the shopping bags.

No use pretending on what happened outside. She was cautious - you can see her trembling - as she handed the paper bag to him ]

I-it... it was...

action;

[antimafioso]

[ Her shaking fingers, the quiver that travels along her arm, into her shoulders, her stammering lips. How many had she kissed, he wonders, idly, his poor Chrome. Would it help to take her hand, as if to steady it, or worsen things? Turning, he moves to carry the bag into the kitchen.

A hum.]

Really? Next time, should I come with you? I think you did well.

action;

[ragazz0dinebbia]

[ She follows him into the kitchen almost mechanically, keeping a prudent distance between the two of them. She sets her plastic bag down on the counter to start on taking out its contents. ]

... I hope I didn't shock some of them...

[ She trails off. Wasn't this another achievement, getting through this curse day intact? She starts biting the inside of her mouth, trying to stop herself from fulfilling the impulse. ]

[renegare]

[ don't mind hibari, just picking up a tiny loli by the collar in the middle of the supermarket, after her most recent --- 'experiment' --- and keeping her at arm's length, as if a misbehaving cat. ]

The exhibitionist came to pick up thread and needle on her own.

[ DID YOU THINK HE'D FORGOT ABOUT THAT TEAR, CHROME. DID YOU. ]

[ragazz0dinebbia]

[ ... thanks, because she shudders at the thought of kissing him. Ugh. But you still get a red, confused face as she dangles. ]

... what?!

[ You'd think after all this time he'd found a tailor to sew that tear :/ ]

[renegare]

[ slowly points at his tear with his free hand ]

Dokuro Chrome.

[ragazz0dinebbia]

[ Glance. Frown. Longer glance at tear. Several seconds pass. Ah! ]

Oh, that!
