"Oh come on, can't you do this tiny favor for me?" Xingquis voice was heard from the other end of the phone.

"Ugh fine.. But you owe me!" Gaming sighed, knowing he would have to accept one way or another.

"I knew i could count on you!" Xingquis giggle was heard before he hung up.

'This guy..' he thought. Well, better get it over with as soon as possible right?

He put his phone in his pocket and made his way to the book shop his friend told him about. The shop looked small at first, but when you enter the building the rows of bookshelfs just never ended.

He couldn't help but look around in awe as he thought about how this place had so many books, that he didn't realise he was going to walk into someone.

He bumped into a blonde boy, probably a worker here.
"Oh I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where i was going!" He apologized.

The blonde muttered a quiet 'it's okay' as he looked at the books he dropped on the floor and went to pick them up again.

"Oh here, let me help." Gaming offered as he picked up the books and handed them to him.

"I.. Thank you." he thanked Gaming, avoiding eye contact.

"I'm Gaming! And you?" He introduced himself.

"Freminet." He answered, this time attempting to make eye contact not wanting to seem rude.

"That's a pretty name." Gaming smiled at the blonde boy.

"Thanks. Your name is pretty too." Freminet blushed slightly.

"Thank you!"

They stood there in silence for a while before Gaming remembered the reason he was here in the first place.

"Oh right! I almost forgot," the reason being the blonde boy, but he was never going to admit that. "Do you know if one of the workers are here right now?"

"Uh, i work here, i can help you." Freminet looked at him again, offering a gentle smile.

"Oh, that would be much appreciated, thank you Freminet!" He smiled back at him (internally screaming because he thought Fremis smile was so adorable) as he pulled out his phone again.

"So uhm, my friend asked me to buy a book for them, the latest volume just came out a few days ago, so i was wondering if you have it here?" Gaming handed his phone to Freminet, showing him the picture of the book that Xingqui sent him.

Freminet gently accepted the phone being pushed into his hands as he scanned the books tittle and author.

"Hmm, i think the book copies actually arrived yesterday." He said as he handed him the phone back. "You can come with me." He motioned Gaming to follow along and thr brunette boy happily obliged.

Freminets brows furrowed in focus as he skimmed trough a list he pulled out from his phone.

Gaming observed Freminet while he was checking where the book was. He had beautiful blue eyes, his short blonde hair covering one of them and he was fighting the urge to just reach his hand out and put it behind his his ear.
