tyler's hands were trembling.

they were trembling as a small, angelic human being pranced her way inside, bell ringing and humming a cranberry tune. her eyes twinkled when she saw the lanky, cherry cheek brunet sliding old and new books back into their rightful place. juniper held her hands behind her back, waiting and humming.

tyler startled as he turned to her, gasping as his glasses slip further down the bridge of his nose, and pushing a nervous chuckle from his sweet, plump lips.

"you scared me, your highness!"

she giggled in trundles of chocolate.

"wha's got you so brittle, ty-ty?"

he held tightly onto the books in his arm before blinking subtly, and pushing up his glasses with a gulp. "am i that easy to read?"

"like a book in this small store." she grinned.

tyler sighed, nodding along to her words and giving her a gentle smile as he crouched down to her height.

"can you keep a secret?"

"yes!" she gasped, holding out her pinkie and giving him excited eyes.

the honey hue locked pinkies.

"i meeting my crush for dinner tonight, and i'm really nervous."

"a crush!?" juniper innocently gasped again.

books in lap as he pulled his arms over them, nodding slowly to her words, and trembling out delicate words. "a crush, a big crush, a crush i don't wanna mess up on."

though, juniper grinned, a surprised look from the fawnlette as she patted the fluff upon his head and delicate kiss upon his forehead. "don't worry too much, ty-ty, i believe in you."

his smile was ever beautiful.

"you have my thanks, jun'."

their words were soft as their conversations led on. topics of fairytale and monsters, horror amongst their tongues, and mystical creatures in symmetry. spectacles brushing down, and pig tails swinging as she kept him company.

tyler wondered why she stayed around longer then usual. her house mustn't been far if she came here so easily alone.

he didn't mind though, usually around these parts of business, it was usually slow. customers came in, yes, but some only browsed before they left. tyler was always scared he was going to lose the small book shop due to not enough money, but he kept his positivity high.

then, came closing time, and juniper still hadn't left yet.

so, the question rung out like the bell as the front door open.

"jun', shouldn't you run back home now...?"

trailing off.
