It All Started From a Kiss || TinCan FF

12 - Something's Off...

Can went out of the library with his thoughts in disarray. Try as he might but nothing's getting him to forget Tin's sudden actions towards him. He's getting irritated because he doesn't know what to do or how to feel about all of this. If you were in his shoes, you'd probably feel the same thing. Probably. Maybe.

Anyways, he was walking down the street, trying to ease himself when a sudden waft of aroma caught his attention. His eyes light up in delight and followed the succulent scent towards its source. Maybe there is something that can distract him from his thoughts.

As he walked, his mind was filled with nothing but what could be that caused this delectable smell. He turned a corner where food stalls littered the entire street. People flocked in all directions to buy food, drinks, treats, pasties, anything.

Can's mouth started to water from the sheer number of stalls present and the aroma of it all was overwhelming him. He might've been unproductive today but he convinced himself that he deserved this treat for all the suffering he had endured for the past days.

He rushed to the first stall he saw, it was selling all kinds of skewers: Beef skewers, pork skewers, lamb skewers. Of course, being Can he bought one of each kind. Bless his wallet since it's most likely going to be dry by the end of this food trip.

He kept going through the stalls and buying things that interest him. Which was practically every food item they sold. Some people that looked his way were surprised at the number of things he bought.

When he finally thought he had enough food, Can looked for somewhere to sit and enjoy his meal. He was carrying bags of food like corndogs, fries, burgers, milkshakes, and others. There were also sweets like candied strawberries, caramel apples, chocolate-dipped breadsticks and so on.

He went to an area shaded by tall trees which were decorated with benches and tables to sit on. He looked around and noticed that almost all seats were taken. There were some with space but other people took up the table, and Can was too shy to ask to be seated there.

So, with a heavy sigh he trudged on to find another shaded place to eat his delicious treats. He kept up a positive outlook by thinking this was exercise to eat more food later on. He weaved through the crowd of people still buying at the stalls.

It was a little cramped because of the amount of people there but Can was fueled by his desire to eat that he paid no mind to his current discomfort. He was getting to the end of the street when suddenly he bumped into someone.

"Hey, watch where you're- Can?" The person was surprised to see Can with a concerning number of food bags hanging on his hands.

"Pond!" Can greeted, swinging his right arm around his dear friend. "What are you doing here?"

"I met with Ae a few hours ago. He invited me to buy this newly released comics."

"Wait, he reads comics now?" Can hadn't known that Ae was into reading comics now. How long has he not hung out with the two?

"Oh no, it's for his dear boyfriend- Ow!" Pond exclaimed as he massaged his head where he was hit. He looked back to see an irritated Ae.

"Why'd you hit me for?" Pond said in a whining tone, still massaging his injured head. Ae just raised an eye brow at him.

"You have the audacity to say that? You left me five minutes ago! I told you to wait for me." Ae was fuming at his treacherous friend. Pond simply held a cheeky smile and slowly hid behind Can.

"Oh Can, what's up?" Ae finally acknowledge Can's presence. He looked down and saw the food Can bought earlier. "You... going to eat that all yourself?" Can looked down as well and placed his gaze back up to Ae.
