His Teasing Response Earned A Headshake From His Passenger, But She Couldn't Help Smiling All The Same.

⚠️; WAY too cute for this world!!! you're gonna give someone cuteness aggression! (me!)

Awe hun! Honestly that should be your warning! <3

Lily waited patiently for Xavier to finish his food enough to get his thoughts out, laughing a little as she leaned against the table instead of sitting properly just yet. "I thought that today it was my turn to spoil you?" She asked playfully, but did sit down when he insisted he was okay.

At the offer, she shook her head and grabbed a slice of pizza to start eating. "I've still got some, so I'll be fine for now." She reassured before finally taking a bite

After spending the morning doing research on places in Linkon City that offer milk tea, Lily finally found a place that seemed like it would be a nice place to visit and had the coffee milk tea that Xavier mentioned. Plus it wasn't far from a few good places to eat so they'd have options based on what they were feeling up to without having to go all the way across town. Perfect.

Lily finally sent Xavier a text in the late morning.

'I found a place that has that coffee milk tea you mentioned! And it has really good reviews.'

After a moment of thought, she sent another text as well.

'And thank you for walking me home last night. I really appreciated it. It was nice, looking at the stars with you.'

If not for the sporadic texts, Xavier would still be asleep. Outside the birds that often bickered over his balcony were squawking at a volume loudly. The combination of factors is enough to stir him, just barely. He knows its her before having to unlock his phone.

↪[ Audio: I'm awake. I'm up. I'm coming. ]

↪[ It was nice. Let's do it again sometime ]

In a flash he rinses off, takes care of basic hygiene, and is donning a favored hoodie in spite of the weather.

By the time he gets downstairs, he's already rubbing his eyes again as he knocks on the door.

Lily hummed happily as she led them out, nodding approvingly to the taste. Exactly what she was after!

"Anything in particular you feel like having?" She asked curiously as she looked up at him for his answer.

"The drink is really good, actually! Would you like a sip?" She offered, even holding the cup up slightly for further emphasis.

The Evol-bulb made her snort, shaking her head at his shenanigans. Not that she blames him since she really wouldn't be any better, if given an Evol she could properly play with.

His answer distracted her from that train of thought, giggling and shaking her head. "That wouldn't give you enough credit," she insisted, only about half-playful. If they were to actually work together on something like a bakery, to put their names on it, she'd want to ensure that he got equal credit at the very least!

[Phone call, Xavier's voice sounds urgent] "I'm in great danger I need you to come downstairs right now. Please! You're the only one that can help. In fact, the entire complex may be in danger if you don't help me stop this right now."

As soon as she registered the urgency and he mentioned 'upstairs', Lily was rushing out of her apartment, only sparing enough time to grab her guns as a precaution.

"I'm on my way!" She reassured as she hurried upthe flight of stairs between them. Her thoughts were already racing a mile a minute, wondering what could possibly be causing Xavier of all people to struggle and call for help, especially without causing much of a ruckus.

By the time she reached his door her heart was pounding and she was braced for a fight.

Blinking up at him when he said her name, she found herself melting into the small affection.

Knowing better than to try and argue, she simply offered a small nod and leaned back against the couch, putting the ice pack on her head for the time being to help with cooling herself off some. She can clean up the medical supplies... later.

"I know I took my dailies... if I took my other ones they should be at the very front of the cabinet...," she called to him.

Perhaps fortunately, Xavier wouldn't have to search too hard, considering the pill bottle sitting on the counter right next to the medicine cabinet, with a water bottle sitting next to it, both unopened. Looks like she'd been about to take them, then got distracted.

"I'm fine, don't worry... it's just a scratch. What about you? Isn't it a nope day? You should lie down..."

"I'm still going to worry," she insisted stubbornly, her eyebrows furrowed, "Sit down for now, I'll be right back."

As much as she knows she should listen to him and sit down, trust him to tend to himself, not over do it... She can't help but fuss. Is she going to pay for it later? Probably. But it's worth it to know he's okay now.

So she shuffled her way to the bathroom, grabbing a hair tie and messily pulling it back and out of the way for the time being. Once relatively satisfied with that, and once again dismissing the thought that short hair would be easier to deal with on days like this, she grabbed her first aid kit from under the sink and shuffled her way back to Xavier.

Once freed from his grip, Lily hummed and put the tray in the oven, setting a timer on her phone.  

“I don’t imagine cleaning will take too long, since it’s just what we need to clean and put away from this batch, and there’s two of us,” she mused, already starting to make sure that everything got put back where it belonged.  

She’d visited just enough to not have to open every cabinet to find where things belonged, so she let him handle the washing for the time being.  At least it isn't quite as much washing as when she'd first gotten up there.

It took a moment for Lily to even register he'd spoken again, too caught up in being so close to him. Running her fingers through his hair carefully, even after she'd already straightened it out some.

She didn't dare look into his eyes long, as much as she loved them. Being this close means that he'd be able to see how flustered she gets, and she doesn't want to go making him uncomfortable by just staring.

Though even through her own fluster she managed to see his flush, earning an affectionate little giggle as she backed off some to give him breathing room. "That sounds like a good plan," she reassured, having finally processed his suggestion.

His attempts at distracting her managed to get more openly amused responses, Lily covering her mouth for a moment to hide her giggles. "And yeah, we can head somewhere else. Anywhere that you want to go?" She asked, packing up anything left of their pizza.
