There is this gifset with this guy leaning onto the railing of an escalator, and the guy coming down on the escalator next to him takes his hand, like some joke. Anyway, so someone I follow had these tags on the gifset; #beautiful #i kind of want a cs au where this happens now.
Leading to this drabble.
She juggles the - too many - bags in one arm, and uses her other hand to steady herself on the escalator as it moves up. Ruby smirks at the adorable, yet somewhat uncomfortable and awkward situation Emma brought herself in. But then again Ruby knows Emma is not very fond of shopping, and maybe seeing her struggle with the bags is the best part of shopping with Emma.
Emma nods as Ruby continues to list all the shops in the mall she has yet to visit, but she isn't really listening - she's trying not to fall over.
Staring at one point is quite hard when everything is moving. So many people, so much noise.
A sudden touch on her hand tears her from her thoughts, the hand she's holding on to the escalator with is being held softly by a man, amazing blue eyes and an apologetic smile as he lets go.
"I'm sorry," he mouths, the apologetic smile never leaving his face. She realises he's surrounded by laughing men; it was probably a bet.
But when she looks down once more, he is still looking at her, somewhat mesmerised.
Once upstairs Emma can't help but walk towards the edge, scanning the lower floor, finding the man staring back at her.
And soundlessly she curses Ruby for pretty much dragging her away.
