"Here, try this one." She handed him a striped necktie, crimson-red striped with grey, and he took it from her carefully. "I like the colors... they'd go really well with that one vest you have, the black one."

Conrad studied the necktie that hung loosely in his hands, quirking an eyebrow as he made to try it on. "You think so?"

"Definitely," Toni affirmed, nodding seriously as he wound it through his collar, cobalt streaks bouncing amidst her dark hair. Fumbling with his top button, he knotted the fabric and smoothed the front of his white oxford before turning to face her, eyes curious as to her reaction.

"What do you think?"

Her lips turned up at one corner slyly, and suddenly she had crossed the two steps between them in less time than it took to blink, one hand trailing down his back as his eyes widened in surprise. Her free hand wound slowly around the end of the striped tie, pulling him to her with a devilish grin as he felt his stomach turn delighted somersaults.

"I like the tie," she whispered teasingly, dark eyes dancing as his hand found its way to her hip.

"Yeah, it's uh..." Conrad swallowed, glancing quickly around the empty fitting room before ducking his head to hers, pale nose brushing her tanned one as a tiny smile crossed his face, snaggletooth peeping out from behind eager lips. "... Not bad."

"Why do you think I chose it?" Toni murmured, warm breath tingling against his mouth and ruining whatever reply he was trying to formulate as he gulped an unnecessary breath and tugged lightly on her hip, his back ramming into the dressing room door behind them.

"Well, there are several reasons--" She shoved against him then, sending the thin door swinging as they landed unceremoniously against the mirror inside. A startled laugh escaped his lips as she grinned up at him, his mouth a breath from hers as she pulled once again on the sorely abused tie.

"Shut up and kiss me." He was more than happy to comply.
This is--
I don't even--
*buries face in hands*
WORLD, I AM SO SORRY.


I blame it all on =MrPuddleDuck because she wanted FASHION ADVICE. Except I fail at that so you get kissyface instead.

The characters that should not be subjected to my brain belong to the beautiful :iconvert-is-ninja: and her amazing webcomic. Ignore this and go read the comic instead.
