Summary: A candy store, and sweet caramel-chocolate apples.

His dark blue eye studies his girlfriend.
The way her layered blonde locks flows gently in the spring breeze, dress in a lavender spaghetti strap top with a knee length white skirt that had a lavender trim at the bottom, a pair of sandals covering her feet. To him she is the most beautiful person he has ever laid eyes on.

She notice her violet eyes studying a candy shop Etro's Sweets, almost a certain type of longing crosses her features.

"Is something wrong, Stel?" he questions. She instantly looks at him as if she broke her from a certain type of trance.

She slightly pulls her in the general area of the candy store, "Let's go in, Noct."

"What?" he questions. "Why?"

She glances back at him flashing him a bright smile, "My father used to bring me to this shop when I was a kid. They sell the best caramel chocolate apples."

A small frown crosses his features noticing a slight sadness in her tone, "Used to?"

"He died a couple of years ago, Geostigma," she replies. His eyes widen at the name of the well known disease. "I haven't visited this shop since his death."

"I'm sorry," he mummers.

She shrugs her shoulders, but decides to change the subject "Besides it would be nice to have a sweet before finals."

He smiles, "Alright I'm sold."

He pulls the door open and allows Stella to walk in before him. The interior of the candy store almost looks like something that came from a game he used to play as child.

Overlarge plastic lollipops, bright colors, and he can see why a child or even an adult might like this place. It seems to be warm and welcoming.

Not to mention the sweet scent of chocolate, and other forms of sweets.

"Can I help you," a cheerful female voice questions. Her bright red hair done in a pair of pigtails and she was dress in a red and white uniform.

"Two milk chocolate caramel apples," he replies after a moment. "With two caramel lattes."

"For here or to go?" the woman replies.

"For here," he replies.

"Alright that will be a 1,046 gil," she replies. Noctis immediately puts on the countertop 1,500 gil. The woman grabs the amount of gil and opens the cash register to place the money inside and get the appropriate amount of change out.

"Here you go sir," she responds. In the same cheerful voice she had earlier as she hands him the money, before bending down to grab two milk caramel apples, and hands them the two sweets.

"If you want you could go sit down, and I can bring the two of you our lattes," she responds. Stella nods, and the two of them move to sit down at a small table.

"I can see why you like this place," he responds sitting in the chair next to him, and moves to bite the sweet apple.

"It's a warm place, and the sweets are delicious," he says. She nods and for a minute she almost looks like a child, or at the very least a lot younger than her 18 year old self.

He smiles at her, as he watches her take another bite.
