( @beep-oop-ah ; Cherry ) 💝 a platonic kiss (let her give her bestie a kiss!)
"thank you, pico!" cherry said, so happy that not only her shopping was done but she got to spend the day with her friend! pico drops the last of her bags on the floor with a heavy thud. no attempt at being graceful, just pure irritation.
"don't mention it." he grumbles, leaning back to crack his back. fucking hell, what a pain she could be. at least he didn't get nothing out of this. he holds his hand out to admire how nice his nails looked, while she speaks again.
"but it was really fun! you're so much fun to shop with and-"
"seriously." pico interrupts her, holding up a single finger. white eyes meet pink irises with a deep grimace on his face. "don't mention it," he repeats. cherry gasps softly, thinking that he was just shy! she gives a quick nod, zipping her mouth shut.
she follows him to the door downstairs, stopping him just before he can leave. "wait a minute, pico!" it was something absolutely urgent! her hand holds onto his arm to stop him and pico has just about had enough.
"god, what?! what th' hell do ya want?!" he bites back but his snippy attitude flew over her head. he watches as she leans down to place a kiss on his forehead. the scent of cherries and perfumes wafts his senses, even taking him by surprise until she pulls back to greet him with that same sweet smile.
"it was fun! let's do it again sometime, bestie!" it was such a genuine look on her face. pico didn't know how to deal with that. his body tenses briefly so he can pull a smile on his face, forcing lips upward to shake off the embarrassment he was feeling.
"yea, yea sure... whatever ya say." he manages an answer that suffices. with that she wishes him a goodnight and closes the door. pico lingers on the porch. what the hell just happened?
his eyes suddenly widen in realization and he's quick to start viciously rubbing at his forehead. gotta remove that damn lipstick before it sets in, a long with the memory of it.
