Perhaps you should have talked him out of going through that store's trash. You had gone so used to it you barely even noticed, the shopkeeper not so much. All in all, it ended with an apology and you dragging Caelus off to somewhere else, lest the shopkeeper turns even redder with ire you very much so did not want to be directed at you. Or your troublesome companion.

Your hand held his tightly, ensuring he would not break away from you in the pursuit of the next thing that caught his eye. You had expected more complaint but were pleased to hear none. He simply trailed after you, his eyes glued to where your hands connected dazedly.

Even with no complaints voiced, you'd make it up to him. Stopping by a small set-up vendor stand, you bought the most appetizing-looking treat with the credits you had. He was being bought out, but he didn't mind. Your hands had broken free to use, and once the dessert was purchased you wordlessly handed one of the two over to Caelus. Caelus took the offering, but you were taken by the look in his eyes. You couldn't help but give in when those golden eyes were directed at you with want. Your walk continued with no exact destination in mind, fingers intertwined in a new way to the both of you.

It was quiet between you two, but comfortably so. The bustle of people around you filled the gap, and the gesture spoke enough. Caelus's hand holding the dessert was simply raised to his mouth as he nibbled on the sweet, lost in thought and feeling. Today would end on a good note, he was sure.
