JIGSAW - SAPNAP

SEVEN. . .

"well, well, well, if it isn't pre- sapnap."

"were you about to call me prick?" he said as his keys were pushed down into his pocket, a playful frown hidden behind his mask.

"no, no! i'm sorry, i-"

"i was joking with you, dork, calm down."

rue was hiding squeals of happiness looking at the two. she was invested after nyx had told her everything that he had felt about the boy.

"well, what can i do for you?" nyx adjusted his pronoun pin - something he decided to wear just so nobody had to deal with asking his pronouns everyday. today, a light yellowish color was splashed against the pin, while it read "he/him".

"i need a new toy."

"not surprised there."

"well, none of them are working for me, you know?"

"no, i'm ace."

"oh."

nyx bursted out in laughter at his own bluntness, then told sapnap he would go check out in the back for a new one.

a bright yellow caught his eye - that's the one. this one was different from the others. it wasn't stretchy at all, more on the solid side.

once he had made it back to the pretty boy, he laid it out for sapnap to see, where he nodded his head with approval. "how bright."

"that's what i said!"

sapnap handed the money to him, where nyx handed him the bag which revealed his new purchase.

"hey, before i go, i think your number would look good in my contact list so...can i have your number?"

"with a pick-up line like that? no," nyx snorted, wiggling around his ring on his middle finger. "but, since you're nice, i guess you can get lucky today."

nyx told sapnap his number, where he saw at the corner of his eye make his contact name "pretty smile", and his knees went weak.

"thanks, pretty smile."

and with that, he was gone.
