Weihnachten Fotographie
"A photograph is nothing but a memory frozen in time."
Chapter 3
Golden eyes widened slightly at thisthis guy . . . Dark . . . Was asking him, basically a complete stranger, and probably not one with a clean track record in the amethyst-eyed boys' mind, to help with the Christmas shopping?.!
Nodding rather dimwittedly, The blonde agreed-without any knowledge of why he did so; To get warm, a part of his mind supplied him with that reasoning later, as he shivered-finally realizing the cold, after all it was winter, and there was snow on the ground . . . which meant it was below freezing point . . . and yeah.
Dark smiled at the blondes actions; From where he was standing it seemed that he was having some sort of internal battle/conversation with himself. And that smile only grew bigger when the blonde nodded at him, apparently he had won the blonde over.
And so, that was what had led them to go browsing in the shops.
"Uhhh...Mister Dark...What exactly are we searching for?", Krad asked after at least twenty minutes of doing nothing in particular, and he was getting rather odd looks that were making him feel hot around the collar-And it wasn't the kind of heat that he wanted to be feeling, but nonetheless he was grateful for being in the warm stores with a purpose; Even if he would have to brave the cold again sooner or later, at the moment he really hoped that was later.
"...We're looking for a gift for my kaa-san.", Dark said, looking up at the blonde from behind a row of books.
"What does she like . . . ?", The blonde asked, if he didn't start looking around seriously soon, no doubt the store owner would come over and politely ask him to leave, and then when he didn't comply(as he was wont to do) she'd call security, and they would 'kindly' escort him out.
"Anything random, as long as its not too feminine or cheap-looking.", Dark replied, now heading towards the exit, "C'mon Krad, there's really nothing that she'd like in here...Off to the next store.", He said, and the blonde followed.
And so went a good five hours of their day, who had known that the town palza had so many places to search.
Dark actually found something in the last store; A cookbook. A rather boring and dull and stereotypical mother gift, yet a gift nonetheless. And besides, it wasn't your average cookbook, it was a cookbook containing relatively fancy recipes that were actually rather cheap and could be made for under five dollars, a rather practical gift, Seeing as Dark himself was forever forbidden from trying to use the kitchen.
And so, Dark would be on his way to his run-down-apartment-at-a-rather-high-price of a home, and Krad would . . . probably wander around.
"Ummm...Well, bye Mister Dark... I guess I'll be going now..."
The violet-haired teen looked at him incredulousley, "And where will you be going?"
"...Err...Home?", The blonde said, but the timid tone turned it to more of a question.
"And where would that be?", Dark asked, having already a pretty good guess on what the answer would be.
"Ahhh...Nowhere special, sir...", Aha! Dark knew it! For once in his life the over-hyper-active teen had formed a correct hypothesis! And then for a moment wondered why he was talking in scientific terms.
"Is that so . . . ", Dark asked, well, not really so much asked as stated sarcastically, "Then it's decided, you'll come home with me!"
The blonde didn't know whether or not to be appalled or immensely relieved by that, so he just stared at the violet-haired teen dumbfoundedly.
