It All Started From a Kiss || TinCan FF

6 - Familiar

It was a busy day at the mall, people were there to go grocery shopping, hanging out with friends or eat at the various restaurants present. Can was at the mall to buy some school supplies since he had used all his pens and notebook for study purposes. He hadn't realized how much he had used until he finished studying so here he is now.

He was at the stationery section looking through the plethora of pens, papers and other materials. There were ink pens, highlighters, sticky notes, multicolored gel pens that every elementary student had because it was pretty. He picked out red, blue and black pens along with a yellow highlighter, a couple notebooks and a correction tape.

He always had these materials since middle school when making reviewers or notes to divide topics and highlight key terminologies in order to look more organized and pleasing to the eyes instead of his notes being a monotonous black. It looked much more complicated if all words he wrote such as titles, concepts and terms were of the same color. 

He placed the items in a basket he had picked up at the front of the store. He was going to the check out until he spotted something or should I say someone familiar. He inspected the person, he was tall with shiny chestnut hair, he has broad shoulder with a muscular build, he wore a white polo that seemed to be expensive since it's unlike any he had seen before. He couldn't see his front because the man has his back turned from Can.

Can kept staring at the man, trying to think where he had seen him.

'Maybe he's an actor I've seen on tv?'

'Or he could be a model for a clothing brand. He seemed to be the type.'

'Maybe I'm just imagining things. Maybe I don't know him but is just reminded me of someone.'

As Can was thinking, the man turned revealing his face, that's when Can recognized him. From his well-sculpted face, his prominent nose, his fierce-looking eyes that somehow held a soft expression, his slightly pouted pink lips. He could tell that it was Tin.

'Why did I describe him like that? I just met him a couple days ago.' He thought to himself but shook those thoughts away. 

He looked at Tin again, debating on whether to approach and talk to him. He didn't know why he was acting like that, he would usually just go greet someone he knew without hesitation but why was he like this now?

'Should I go talk to him? Greet him maybe?'

'No, maybe he's busy. I don't wanna interrupt him.'

'But I'll just say hi. It's not like I'm gonna spend the whole day with him'

'Then again, he seems like he's looking for something important. He's probably preoccupied with something.'

'Oh why am I even thinking like this? Just go and greet him, it's not like it's the end of the world when you do it.'

So he did, Can went  up to Tin on wherever aisle is. He tapped Tin's shoulder, making the other jump a bit from the unexpected contact. Tin looked at Can and immediately his eyes sparkled but Can didn't see that.

"Can, what are you doing here?"

Tin was driving to the mall with a happy smile presented on his face. It's just one of those days where he feels happy without any reason. He's in a good mood, his favorite song playing on the radio, the temperature for the day is perfect, not too hot, not too cold.

Tin feels like something amazing will happen today, he just feels it. His aura is light and happy, anyone could feel it radiating off of him. It's like he's a Disney character that everyone seems to adore because of his positive attitude.
