The stranger blinked. "Huh?"

Luhan pulled the object closer to him. "I saw this first."

He knows it looked childish for him to be fighting over something in a store with a complete stranger, but hey he wasn't going to leave without Sehun's gift.

The other guy, who seemed taken aback by Luhan's ferocity, furrowed his brows. "What?"

"We both want this, but only one of us can have it right? Since I saw it first, I should be the one to keep it."

"I could easily say that too. There is no way for us to determine who actually saw it first, so your argument is invalid," the stranger said with a smirk.

"Inva- invalid??" Luhan huffed. He took a step closer to the stranger. "Listen, I don't want to cause trouble, but I really need this, so if you could kindly let go, I'd appreciate it. No one has to get hurt."

The guy stared at him for a second before he chuckled. "You're not as sweet as you look."

Luhan glared at him while trying to tug the object out of his grip, but the stranger had a strong hold on it – he wasn't backing down. "I'll have you know that I'm a very sweet person!"

The guy laughed. "Right and that is why you're trying to take this away from me. How sweet."

"Aishhh! Why are you being so difficult?," Luhan whined, stomping his foot – an action that was meant to show the stranger that he was highly annoyed, but it only came off as adorable.

"Tell me why you want it so bad," the guy demanded, eyeing Luhan with the utmost interest.

"Wha – why do I have to tell you?"

"So I can decide whether I'm going to give this up for you." Pfftttt. Who does he think he is?

"No. You should tell me why you want it so bad, then I'll decide whether to give it up or not." Not happening though.

"You're just saying that. You're not going to give it up."

Luhan raised his eyebrow. "Too obvious?"

"Pretty much." He smiled at Luhan, who couldn't decide on whether he liked the smile or not. It was a gorgeous smile and Luhan does find it somewhat mesmerizing, but then again he also wanted to slap it off the guy's face.

"So are you going to tell me why you want it or not?"

Luhan sighed. "Fine. I'm buying it as gift for someone – someone very special to me."

The other guy nodded as if he understood, and for a split second Luhan thought that maybe the guy would understand his situation and let go of the object. What actually came out of his mouth was the reason why that thought didn't linger for long.

"I'm buying it for someone special as well – me. So I guess that means you have to give it up."

Luhan fake laughed. "Ha. Hate to break it to you, but my special person is A LOT more special than you are."

"You don't even know me. For all you know, I could be ten times more special than that person." The guy winked at Luhan, who cringed.

"In your greedy dreams."

The guy laughed, causing Luhan to frown because he doesn't understand how a person could laugh after being insulted. "Well, what do you suggest we do?"

Have to get this for Sehun no matter what! Come on Luhan, think of something. Hmm. What would Baekyeol do?

"How about we both put it back on the display stand and then on the count of three, whoever grabs it first keeps it?" Luhan suggested.
