 It was hot outside, to the point it was overbearing. Sure, it's better being in Crossroads than Banlands (that place is literal hell to you), but at the same time, you really wish you were at home right now. Slingshot was the one that dragged you out here in order to hang out, and it would have definitely been better if you had packed some water with you or so. You slowly made your way along with Slingshot, who was skipping around happily. You groaned from the sun beaming on your face. Slingshot seemed to notice this, turning around at you with a glance. 

 "Pick it up, (Y/N), I got a sweet spot we can go to!" Slingshot cheerfully said, tugging on your arm a bit to hurry up.

 "Sling, it's 100 degrees.. how are you not suffering out here...?" You asked while rubbing the sweat off your forehead. 

 "You didn't bring water with you?" He tilted his head.

 "Nno." You sighed. "I wish I did... I thought we were going to a place nearby with some cold drinks."

 "Well, it is close! Don't worry." He replied. "But not bringing water for a travel? Tsk tsk tsk." He still slipped his hand into yours, guiding you a bit to pick up the pace. You groaned from the heat. 

 "I did not know I'd be walking more than a block. I'm blaming you--"

 "Hey, look!" Slingshot pointed over to a table. It was set up under some shade and looked really clean. The chairs seemed to be from some cafe spot... like they were stolen from there to be used here... but you clearly can't remember what spot exactly, so you brushed it off. Slingshot jumped over to the tables, his shoes giving him a bit of a boost, allowing him to kick back safely onto the chair with his arms relaxed behind his back. "Now this is comfy." He grinned, rubbing up on the chair slightly in his comfort. 

 "Showoff..." You thought to yourself while smiling. He was always like that, but you didn't mind. You took your seat calmly while Slingshot pulled out a whole huge bag from their pocket.

 "Where'd that come from?" You ask.

 "Some questions shouldn't be answered!" Slingshot said in an oddly happy tone. He pulled out a cooler, setting it down next to him. Pushing it open, there was a bunch of drinks, juices, and lemonade inside to cover more than 2 people. 

 "So you're the cold drink spot, huh?" You raise an eyebrow with a smile. 

 "I figured something like this would happen, soo.." Slingshot leaned over, offering you a juice bottle. "Thirsty?" 

 You nodded and smiled at him, taking the juice. You two hung around for a few hours, sipping on any water or juice that came from the cooler. You can tell that Slingshot just bought whatever flavors were in the store. You tasted Apple, Citrus, Strawberry, Blueberry, Grape, Lemonade, Koolaid surprisingly? But you didn't taste any Fruit Punch. In fact, Slingshot was the one hogging those. He only met your annoyed look with a sheepish grin. He knew he was being greedy. After a while, it became the Afternoon. You just finished another Apple Juice when you tried getting a fresh drink from the cooler, there was practically none left besides Fruit Punch. Slingshot slipped his hand in, immediately swiping it and walking over back to his chair. You tried digging for more drinks, but the one Fruit Punch was the only one left. 

 "...Sling, mind if we share that one?" You ask while tilting your head.

 "What'dya mean?" He turned to you, pausing in about to drink the Fruit Punch. 

 "I mean I could fountain the Fruit Punch while you take it." You explain. 

 Slingshot paused a bit, before seeming like he got an idea. "Allright, lemme know whenever you want some." He smiled. 

 You paused before saying, "I was actually gonna ask for some now."

 "Oh. 'Kay." He simply hopped up with a smile, popping open the Fruit Punch. Soon, he began to chug a bit of the bottle. You stood there, blinking in a bit of silence. You walked up to him while he was still drinking some of the bottle.

 "Soo.. could I try some out or...?" You looked a bit confused. Slingshot still had some Fruit Punch in his mouth. 

 "Sling, can I at least get one sip--" You were gonna ask, before immediately being shoved close to him, face to face. You felt a rush of tropical sugar hit your taste buds, at the same time you felt red as the Fruit Punch. You continued to taste the Fruit Punch with a warm feeling for a bit longer before Slingshot finally pulled away from the kiss. Some Fruit Punch dripped from his mouth.

 "Tasty, right?" Slingshot grinned, wiping off the drool of juice on his face. You stood there with a little smile, frozen in place. 

 You simply nodded. "Yeah, s'pretty good." You tilted your head down as Slingshot and you walked back to your chairs. Slingshot sat down as you stood next to him.

 "Hey, Slingshot." You looked at him finally. 

 "Yeah?" He took a little sip from the bottle.

 "Mind if I get some more...?" You smiled shyly with the question, fiddling with your hands a bit.

 Slingshot grinned, giving a more smug look. Prepping to take another chug of the bottle, he says, "One 'sip' of Fruit Punch, comin' right up!" with a wink.
