Demon Marcus, Sunday
Okay, so maybe Sparkle had missed a few shifts over the past little while. Could he really be blamed? He had been taking care of an animal-transformed girl who was prone to shifting into a badger and threatening to claw out his eyes. Plus, you know... holiday season, new semester, and the ever-popular, 'he just couldn't be bothered.' But then this morning he'd fallen out of bed and realized that there were holes in his favourite pair of yellow socks.
His yellow ones. It was a travesty that needed to be remedied as quickly as possible with a pair of replacement socks, which, of course, he could just pick up at work. So okay, maybe there were benefits to showing up to work for reasons other than being worried that his demonic boss was going to eat his spleen or something. And, you know, getting paid or whatever.
So... yellow socks. Maybe ones with stripes...
Or polka dots?
Oh! Or toes!
[Open!]

Re: Talk to Sparkle!
It seemed like a good question to ask.
Re: Talk to Sparkle!
"You really don't know, do you? Like, you don't... celebrate holidays or whatever, where you're from, or what? Valentine's is, you know... all love and naked baby angels or whatever, usually for people who are, you know, serious about one another?"
And he still had no idea what the hell they were.
"Tell you what. We've got... like a month and a day to figure out if it'd be appropriate to get gifts on that day. We'll see? And in the meantime I'll take care of buying my own socks."
Re: Talk to Sparkle!
"I just meant... because we went out, and we kissed that time," he offered, wringing his hands a bit. "I didn't know it was a longer-time type of... never mind."
Sigh. He was never trying to talk about mundane things again.
"I can still go with you? If you want?"
Re: Talk to Sparkle!
"Come with me," he said, softening, just a bit. "Later this week sometime, just you, and me, and ... I dunno, the GAP or something. And we can check out socks and maybe do dinner or something after. Oh my God you deserve at least a dinner if you're going to be putting up with me while I'm shopping. Trust me."
Re: Talk to Sparkle!
Gloves and socks. What an exciting shopping excursion.
Re: Talk to Sparkle!
"That, we can do," he laughed. "It's a date."
There was dinner involved. It totally was.

Re: Talk to Sparkle!
"I'll look into what places there are to go shopping on the mainland, and then get back at you sometime this week, and we can go from there?"
Sparkle was grinning, yes. Because, seriously, could Alec get any more adorable? Ever? Was that a thing that could be done? They were kind of reaching critical mass, here.
Re: Talk to Sparkle!
"That sounds really good," he said with another swing of his arms as he took a few steps backward toward the door. "I'll see you then."
