Down at the Candy Shoppe (For iwillcatchup)

[azazael]

As a herald to the king, Azazael often wandered the Nexus to learn the locations so he could better perform his duties. There were some empty buildings at the far end of the plaza, or they had been. Now three of the store fronts had an enormous colorful banner across the front "Grand Opening".

At first he was disinterested but then he saw the vinyl words in the window.. MULTIVERSE CANDY SHOPPE. Azazael flew to the window and pressed his face to it, eyes wide as saucers. It was a grocery store sized shop with rows, miles of shelves of candy and sweets. The angel was frozen in place gawking for a time he couldn't even imagine; short, long, who knew.

It takes time to pull himself free of staring and remember he could go in and buy candy. CANDY! And inside he goes, picking up a basket and beginning to wander like a lost soul in the aisle. Could he carry one of everything? It didn't seem likely. There was too much to choose from. What was he going to do without any hint of direction?

"I've got a credit card!" Which is probably the worst idea, but who can stop it?

"We should go ask!" He's already walking up to the cashier near the front, but it takes a long time because every bright colored candy seems to stop him along the way.

Honestly, having a credit card is a lot better than how Peter used to do the five-finger-discount using his abilities. He doesn't know who is responsible for the charges... but figures one of the Angels could likely handle it.

He can't help smirking at how Azazael keeps getting distracted by candy along the way. And finally after watching him stop again, Peter steps close, and takes the Angel's hand with a bright smile. "Better to buy when we know if the store has a limit."

[azazael]

Azazael freezes to stare at the hand in his and then blushes furiously. All he can think about is that kiss because people, outside of his brothers and sisters anyway, rarely came into contact with him. The kiss he could write off as a dare, but this...

Wait something was said. He's totally distracted and confused. "What?"

[iwillcatchup]

Peter notices the brief moment it takes for Azazael freeze and stare at Peter's hand. And he smiles at that blush that appears.

"Or we could just go for tea and cake. They have a dessert offering here."

[azazael]

"Dessert?" The angel's slowly coming around and then lights up with a smile. The hand is forgotten even though he hasn't let go. "Are the brownies good?"

[iwillcatchup]

Peter leans closer to Azazael as he leads the Angel to where the dessert cafe is. And gets them a table where he can sit right beside the other man. And still hold his hand.

"Get anything you want. I have credit here."
