For Now

We arrive at the mall, Bill decked out in his makeup and cute clothes and me in his slobby around-the-house clothes. Sweat pants and an old blue old navy hoodie he owns. He drags me into a store I couldn't catch the name of, taking me back to what looks to be a makeup section. He grins, picking up a palette of exotic colors and holding it to my face.

His eyes frantically switch between different colors and my face, before he finally gives a little bit of context on this weird behaviour. "You would look so good in these colors! You've got to let me do your makeup at least once." I blush a little, nodding. He cheers to himself, and he ended up buying makeup from this place.

When we get outside, we already have two little bags. He stops me in the middle of the halls, looking around. "Pick a store, I'll go." I grin mysteriously, taking his hand and dragging him into a clothing store full of grunge clothes and different pieces I love. He follows along like a lost puppy, our pinkies locked so he doesn't get lost in this place. It's a bit crowded in here so I don't blame him.

He tugs at my finger to stop, I do, turning around to him. He looks so shy right now I just want to lean up and kiss him. He shyly speaks to me. "I want to look at something, can we go really quick?" I laugh, squeezing his finger. "Of course, lead me." He happily leads me back to one side of the store, gazing at all the jewlery. He points to a chain, aweing over it.

"Look! I seen it while we walked, it looks so cool. Should I get it?" I squint to see the price tag, it reads ' €12.99 '
13 euros? I shrug, looking back to him. The case lights shine up on his face, his lips look to be drenched in product. I didn't see him put any lipgloss on but oh well, it doesn't matter. "It's up to you Bill, I think it would look good on you though."He blushes a little, smiling shyly.

I melt at this sight as he gets the attention of a worker. When the worker extracts it from the case, his whole face lights up. He whispers excitedly to me, shaking me. I laugh as the worker hands it to him, and Bill nearly thanks me and the worker a million times as we finally make our way back to the section I planned to look at. I lock arms with him so we don't get lost, gazing at all the clothes I wish I could afford. He leans down to me, making nerve-racking eye contact.

"Is there anything you'd like?" I snicker, nodding. He tilts his head, asking which thing I'd like. I end up in a rant of everything I would want, he listens carefully. "Here, what about this? Pick out the three things that stand out the most to you and I'll buy it." My eyes widen.

"Really?!" He nods, motioning me to go pick them out. I waste no time, running and picking up a classic tee I had my eye on, a sweat jacket, and a pair of pants. It could go as an outfit honestly. He chuckles, setting everything on the counter when we get to the checkout. He pays for everything, holding my bags for me too.

We end up spending the next 4 hours at the mall, laughing through the store and collecting what felt like hundreds of bags. By the time we finished, we decided on eating some food before we left. Although we've already blown alot of money, we figured it would be easier to just eat here.

Bill loves this mall because it has his favorite fast food place. Mc. Donalds. He has earned Macky because of this place. We walk to a table in the restaurant in the mall, he lets me sit down with our bags while he orders. "Stay here, I'll be back. You just want a couple cheeseburgers right?" He confirms, leaning on the table above me.

He looks down at me and again it's only one of those moments where I just want to pull his face onto mine and kiss him forever. "Yes, Macky." I tease. He blushes, laughing. I rub his cheek before he walks away and orders. I watch him carefully, observing his ways. The way he speaks, the way he towers above most people. He's been recognized a few times already today, and I think the cashier just did too.
