that’s one thing, only certain boys that. they really have those puppy-like features. other than that, i guess i like to journal … i like to stargaze. what about you? do you like being in denial all the time?
⠀
… you. ” blue eyes lifted to meet
her gaze once more, a soft warmth
behind his expression. “ well,
thank you. ” a short pause, “ i’m
kai, by the way. ”
⠀
⠀
he held back a chuckle when he noticed
the boy hiding behind her legs before
his gaze lifted back up to meet hers.
both brows lifted, lips twisting into an
impressed grin.
“ oh, yeah? ” his head tipped to the
side as he watched her retrieve a
small bottle. curious …
⠀
his calm demeanor and kindness kept felicity from entirely spiraling into her own panic. offering him a sheepish smile as her own son ducked behind her leg shyly. meanwhile, her own hands already reached into her purse, digging for a familiar bottle.
“actually,” she . . .

… gaze followed as she sprayed the
stain on his shirt, noticing their close

spills all over both of them, head
shaking from side to side. “ it’s

coffee goes everywhere the minute their bodies collide. light brown liquid spilling over both the woman and the man she’s managed to bump into. eyes wide as she drags her gaze up to him.
“oh… my god. i am so sorry! i wasn’t looking where i was going and i—“ . . .
( Glaring daggers into the other’s back, he soon grins to himself as he practically sips on that fear, humming deeply. )
Well.. what kind of person would I be if I didn’t look after my guests?
⠀
( the hairs on the back of his neck
stand up as he feels just how close
the other is to him, a dry laugh
leaving him. )
glad you seem to be so concerned
about my well being.
⠀
( He doesn’t respond, instead grinning while he watches him finally budge, tailing behind him closely—eerily, hardly giving him much space. )
Watch your step. Wouldn’t wanna fall and hit your head.
