The Emporium is open -- Friday

Michael settled in behind the counter, using the computer and phone to place some orders and straighten out others. How that one company managed to ship Halloween stuff instead of Valentine's Day stuff, he'd never figure out, but there was now a box with a jumble of masks and plastic pumpkins sitting by the counter -- a box that should have been full of candy and plastic hearts. He shook his head as he tried to get the company on the phone.


((ooc: Probably slow play til evening as I am running around like chicken with head cut off working in multiple parts of the office today.))

[OOC: Here in Fandom, Halloween stuff is probably just as appropriate as Valentine stuff. *g*]

((ooc: *snort* Maybe Michael should just give up and stock the masks, then. :P))

[OOC: Would it be any less kinky than some of the stuff going on in the dorms right now? *g*]

Victor came in and gave a wave to Michael before walking up and down the aisles, gathering various snack foods that didn't need refrigeration. By the time he got back to the counter, his hands and arms were full. He would've used his tongue, but he didn't think Michael would've appreciated it. Instead, he set the food on the counter, held up his index finger, and walked off to go get more. Eventually, he had everything he wanted, and patiently waited for Michael to ring him up.

"Hey, Victor." Michael suppressed a grin at the load of snack food. Everything a teen needed to power themselves up. "Where's this boyfriend I hear you have? You mean you're actually away from him for more than five minutes?"

Victor blushed. "He's probably in class or something. We don't spend all the time together. I mean, if that was true, I would've met your husband by now."

"Yeah, but we're not teenagers. Puppy love is long behind us." Michael looked at the total and made a face. "Hope you've got enough to cover this."

"Puppy love?" Victor made a face similar to Michael's. "Well, it's probably not the ancient love of Dad and Dad here, but I like what we have, and I plan on making it last as long as I can."

He handed Michael his debit card. "Here, put it on this, please."

While Michael was swiping the card, Ben came up from behind wrapped his arms around Michael. He nodded to Victor. "Hi. You must be the kid Deb and Michael were talking about the other night." Unwrapping himself from his husband, he held out a hand. "Ben Bruckner."

"Oh, hey," Victor said, taking the hand and giving it a good shake. Then, he raised an eyebrow. "I guess my fears came true. I'm popular."

"No," Michael said, handing the card back, "my mother just has a big mouth. Just...don't tell her I said that." He grinned as he put the bags on the counter, then leaned over and gave his husband a peck on the cheek. "I wish you well in your relationship, Victor. Sounds like you've got a good start to it. And at Fandom High, at least you don't have to worry about homophobia."

As Michael kissed Ben, a goofy smile grew on Victor's face. "Thanks a lot, Michael. It's good to be somewhere where I don't have to worry about getting beat up for being gay or a mutant. And who knows," he added with a shrug, "maybe one day Walter and I will have what you two do."

He grabbed his bags, and decided to take a shuttle back to the dorms. "Thanks, guys," he said as he walked out of the store.

[ooc: *squeals like the gay fanboy he is* So cute!]
