SHOPPING
Being Blossom's personal pack mule was not an endearing endeavor, and he couldn't help but count the hours until this mega shopping spree would be over and done with. She would have to tire out sooner or later, right?
''Ooh! A shoe sale!''
...And off they were again.
Brick set the numerous shopping bags down with a huff and let himself fall heavily onto a bench. He watched as a store employee fitted Blossom with a pair of black heels, and figured it must be only a matter of time until she tired of this aimless walking and spending at the mall.
Brick blinked as his line of sight was suddenly blocked by two, creamy, perfectly shaped legs.
''How do these look to you?''
He glanced farther down, eyes landing on the pair of stilettos that could only add to her leg appeal.
''You should get them,'' He murmured, and she smiled down at him as she walked away to buy them.
Minutes later she came back up to him, offering him the bag of new footwear with a sheepish grin, and he took it without any verbal complaint. He did roll his eyes at her, though, when she set her sights on a clothing store.
Now, Blossom wasn't oblivious, and she knew perfectly well that Brick wasn't having much fun carrying her things. She felt a little guilty, and decided she'd provide him with some kind of entertainment to lift his spirits and perhaps put him in the mind to come out shopping with her again next time.
Brick stared ahead in boredom, mindlessly following Blossom as she picked items off of racks and led him toward the back of the store to the changing rooms.
Without needing to be told he dropped the bags and sat down to wait for her.
Imagine his surprise when the normally very conservative Blossom came striding out in a very cute, vibrant pink bikini decorated with tiny red rose petals. A shy smile adorned her face and her cheeks were tinged the same shade as her outfit.
Brick sat straight up, suddenly very hyper aware of the girl standing infront of him. He glanced around, but they were alone in this section of the changing rooms.
''So? How do I look?''
His lips seemed to go dry, so he quickly ran his tongue across them to bring the moisture back. ''You look amazing,'' He breathed honestly, hard pressed not to grab her and pull her in for a bruising kiss.
She smiled at his hungry, roving stare and went to change so she could model something else for him. ''Should I do lingerie next?'' She called from the changing room, and laughed quietly when a strangled 'Yes,' was heard in response.
Brick would be looking forward to shopping sprees with her in the future if this was how they ended.
My apologies to laughingmanlove; I could not post a blues fic today, but I should hopefully have one out tomorrow. :) Also, to my 'For Lost Years' readers, I am updating the story later today, probably somewhere between an hour or two of posting this.
