Pixie Dust, Tuesday, Aug. 26

Romeo barely took the time to dump his suitcase in his room (noting, with approval, that someone had brought his things back from the cabins) and make a phone call before heading into town to open Pixie Dust.

He wasn't sure what to make of his visit home; while it had failed to be a complete disaster, for which he was grateful, it also offered a life he could no longer picture as his own. He stretched out on the floor behind the counter, trying to sort this out and still keep an eye on the door for customers.

Pixie Dust was open.

All the cool kids are doing it!

He is, after all, there to serve.

"Ohaiyo!" Yurika stuck her head in the shop and grinned, still looking mildly hungover from her adventure with Reno. "I heard a rumor that they let this cute boy out of Verona, and I wanted to see if it was true."

"The highest city walls could not have kept me there," Romeo said, rolling to his feet and walking over to greet her with a kiss. "By Jesus, was I gone less than a week? It passed so very slowly. Ohaiyo, in any case."

The kiss was more than welcome, and if she hugged him a bit tighter than normal, well, Yurika doubted he'd complain. "What? Did Benvolio not keep you suitably amused when you weren't sleeping through meetings? I'll have to have stern words with him."

He was a fan of tight hugs and lips and seeing her again. "Ben was wonderful, but there was hardly any time when I wasn't in meetings," he replied. "And even when I was out, no one in Verona or Mantua is you."

"He sent his regards, by the by, as did Rosaline."

It had been less than a week, but she still wasn't letting him go.

Yurika buried her head in his shoulder and sighed happily. "I should send them a card or something nice, as a thank-you for hosting you."

She smelled wonderful, like her shampoo and clean clothes and Yurika, and he was not letting go of her either.

"I did leave some wine," Romeo said, touched by the offer. "Anyhow, it went well enough, I suppose. That is, the job would be mine if I wanted it, barring a disaster in the next year."

He just wasn't sure he did.

"Have they seen how you run the store when you're alone?" she teased, relaxing her hold slightly. If the offer was out there, then he hadn't gotten into any trouble. Which had been her main fear; not that Romeo would start anything, but that someone else might try to finish it. "If they knew about how we abuse Tink-sensei's stash under the counter, they might think twice!"

Romeo chuckled and let go of her, after dropping a tiny kiss on her forehead. "The store stays in one piece!" he protested. "Though I suspect they'd be less fond of my drinking -- and did you want anything? -- and burning ugly back stock than Ms. Bell is." He shook his head. "If only I could always have a fairy for a boss."

"Only in Fandom," she agreed, laughing. "Nothing for me yet, I just got up."

He nodded; he hadn't really wanted a drink either. "So what did I miss here? Did all the staplers start chasing people around, or did anyone turn into a small animal?"

"We moved back from the cabins," Yurika replied, hopping up to sit on the counter. "I hope you don't mind, I put your things in a box and left them in your room. It's been quiet, on break. I had to make Reno take me out before I died of boredom."

"I noticed the box; thank you," he returned, raising one eyebrow. "Out with Reno? What trouble did you two find?"

Without a doubt there would have been trouble. He had faith in that much.

She stuck out her lower lip in a pout. "What makes you think we found trouble?"

"I'm dating you and he's my closest friend here," Romeo answered, leaning in to kiss the pout. "Trouble is a safe guess."

...

She really couldn't argue his logic.

"No one got arrested," she said finally, trying to look innocent. "The club is still standing and everything. We were good."

Romeo laughed. "Then you were restrained indeed," he teased. "No arson, no police, no doubt a quiet night out. Did you break anybody's heart?"

I am back from Oregon and I miss the beach already!
