November 30th, Thursday - 7:29 pm

The mall's hustle and bustle seemed to fade as you and Bakugo continued browsing, each of you a bit further apart now.

Bakugo held his mothers gift alongside a small basket with the two candles, one smaller than the other, and you were carrying your cherry perfume, now scanning the lotion section.

Bakugo was quiet for a moment before his gaze flickered to a shelf of body lotions.

His eyes landed on a bottle that looked almost identical to the cherry perfume you had picked out earlier.

He took it in his hands, inspecting it for a few moments, before a small spark of realization seemed to flicker in his eyes.

He turned the bottle around in his hands, his brows furrowing as he noticed the matching scent.

His fingers trailed over the label, and his thoughts seemed to be going in the same direction-matching lotion to match your perfume.

But then, his gaze moved upwards, his eyes catching the sign just above the shelf.

"Buy one, get one free," he muttered, his thoughts clearly clicking into place.

His eyes flickered to you slightly when he looked back at the lotion, the wheels turning in his head.

Still holding the bottle, he thought for a moment, clearly unsure about his next move.

Time passed, the two of you browsing in comfortable silence, until you made your way back to where Bakugo was standing.

"Okay, I think I'm all set," you said, holding the cherry perfume in your hands.

Bakugo looked at you, his basket still in his grip.

"You done looking?" you asked, tilting your head slightly.

"Yeah," he muttered, eyes flicking back to the shelf in front of him.

You smiled before your gaze dropped to his basket, catching sight of its contents.

Along with the two candles, there were now two bottles of lotion tucked inside.
Your brows raised slightly, and you glanced back up at him. "Oh," you said, a bit amused. "You're getting her lotion too?"

Bakugo gave a short nod, his expression unreadable. "Figured why not."

You looked at Bakugo blankly for a second before your lips formed a small delicate smile.
