Pixie Dust, Wednesday, 10/15

Work offered some further normalcy as the oddness of the weekend continued to fade, and Romeo was grateful to have it.

Not, of course, that that meant he did much actual work. He sorted out the mail, unpacked some boots and did a desultory culling of the sales racks, looking for things Tink might want to burn, before settled behind the counter with his muffin and Amelia. He might even have a chance to finish his reading for Lit class this week.

Pixie Dust was open.

He is there and playing the bookworm.

Around lunch time, there was a magically appearing Yurika, complete with take-out from Ching Tai for lunch.

"Ohaiyo!" she called, dangling in the bag. "I have a delivery for some guy named Romeo?"

"I would take it just for you not calling me junior," Romeo said, rising from his stool with a smile, before adding an explanation. "There was an odd man in the park, but that's of no consequence. How are you?"

"Pretty good," she answered, setting the food on the counter before drawing an envelope from her purse. "I don't suppose you have any plans this weekend, do you?"

"I was going to have the quietest two days possible," Romeo answered, with a skeptical glance at the envelope. "Is that to change?"

Yurika gave him her biggest, best, most innocent eyes possible. "I thought you liked challenges," she teased. "I seem to have won a vacation to Italy for this weekend, interested?"

"You know I'd go anywhere with you," he answered, and drew a deep, steadying breath. Squirrels and all, had to be normal. "Is this the contest you told me you had entered?"

"Hai," she replied, stepping forward to slide her arms around him for a hug. "I'll see if the other two are still up for tagging along, we'll make a party of it."

He gave her the hug she sought, adding a light kiss for good measure. "It does sound like something that will be more fun as a group," he agreed slowly. "Is there anything in particular I'll need to pack?"

"We won't be in Italy long, but bring whatever you want," Yurika said. "We'll be stopping in Japan afterwards; I have paperwork and things I need to deal with for work, but we should have plenty of time to see some sights. Especially if the other two don't mind not sleeping!"

"And if they want to be lazy, we'll go out without them," he said, studying her face. "You sound happy that your prize is being distributed so promptly. Will you need any help getting ready?"

Yurika grinned and tilted her head up to kiss him. "I get to spend time with my koibito, take a trip with friends, and I'll get all my work-nonsense out of the way now, rather than have it loom all year long. It could be worse," she joked. "I'm going to think positive, happy, thoughts."

"Then I will do the same," Romeo promised, returning her kiss with a sweet one of his own. He folded his doubts up carefully and shoved them in a box at the back of his brain: She needed support, and support he would give. "And I've not been to Italy since 1899. Has it changed, do you think?"

"Better roads and public transit, I'd guess," Yurika mused. "Think they have Night Buses there now?"

Being incorrigible was the only way she was going to be able to deal with the butterflies in her stomach.

"I think we might even get a whole hotel room to ourselves," he whispered. Outwardly, he was smooth and flirtatious; inwardly, he was all nerves. "Then the buses wouldn't matter so much. Or there are taxis, I'd wager."

"Crap, I need to make hotel arrangements," she muttered, shaking her head. "Maybe I'll see if I can find us something swank and fancy for a night, just as a treat."

"I can help with that, if you like, or -- " he glanced around the store. "Speaking of treats, if you would like anything new for the trip, it would be my treat for you."

I can guarantee he won't mind.

I almost forgot it was Wednesday.
