                   knowing he wasn’t as poised on the flats of his feet as his was in his roller skates wouldn’t stop monty from putting on their favorite ella fitzgerald record. tea for two begins to play through the shop that was now closed, monty turning back towards magnolia with a smile. music makes his soul feel good, it feeds them, relaxes them. hand reaches out toward the woman, quietly urging her to take it. ‘ may i have this dance? ’ it may be cheesy to anyone else, but monty didn’t mind. he was always interested in the romance of it all. ‘ i unfortunately can’t promise not to step on your feet, ’     @desafia​  ,  sc.

               slowly, monty slides a cup of tea across the table to maggie, careful not to disturb the book in front of her as he does so. ‘ wanna a sweet treat today? on the house, since you’re — pretty much always here, ’ it’s not a bad thing. in fact, they enjoyed having regular customers. usually those customers are young children looking for free samples, but his shop had a calming effect, some say, and so many residents of the town often came to relax for awhile in the afternoons. beaming smile is given down to her, hands rested behind their back as he balances himself on his skates. ‘ cupcakes, cotton candy, gummies... oh! i’ve been experimenting with a new mint chocolate, if you’re interested, ’     @exhalesflowers​  ,  sc.

                   the rivalry, on most fronts, did not involve monty. they’d rather keep the neutral ground, help wherever he could whenever he could. honestly, the whole thing made them uncomfortable, they wished it would all just end. after all, he didn’t have anything against licorice. he actually liked it quite a lot, but the others... well, monty tried often to settle things, which is why they rolled into the other man’s store, sticking his head through the door to see if he could spot the other anywhere. ‘ helloooo... are you... open? ’ brows raise, glancing around the shelves. it’s not that he’s scared, he’s just... cautious. they couldn’t know if he would be in a good mood today. ‘ i just wanna talk about... some... candy stuff? if you’re free! ’     @licoriceing​  ,  sc.

                   ‘ incomingggg! ’ despite knowing he wasn’t going to crash, monty waves their arms around in a dramatic display as he barrels toward percy, looking panicked until he’s right in front of her. wide eyes crinkle at the edges, grin grows on pink lips, as they scoop percy up into their arms and spin around on his skates before coming to a stop. ‘ hi again, perce. i didn’t mean to interrupt your reading, but i wanted to sweep you off your feet, ’ his smile is like the sun, his eyes soft on hers as he looks down at her. ‘ where’s laura today? i have something for her, ’     @contrariian​  ,  sc.
