"All I need in life is more stuffed animals." Ashton walked around the shop, grabbing stuffed zebras and lions off the shelves. He touched the soft faux furs before placing them back.

Calum followed behind and rolled his eyes at Ashton's actions. "They should put a limit on your employee discount."

Calum nodded in agreement, "Especially yours."

Ashton turned around quickly only to be closer to the raven haired boys face than he thought. "Oh," he let out a surprised squeak, taking a step back. "Don't be rude to me and my love for wildlife."

"I'm not being rude. Simply curious on how many of these are in your apartment already." Calum smirked, maneuvering his way around older boy. "Like this elephant," he proposed, "I bet you already have three of them."

Ashton huffed crossing his arms over his chest, feeling offended by Calum's accusation.
"I'm leaving."

Calum blocked his pathway, "You never answered my question, babe."

"I don't owe you an answer." He murmured.

"No you don't, but I think after spending several days with you here, I deserve a date or maybe a kiss."

Ashton's eyes went wide at Calum's proposition, trying to see if he was serious or fooling around with him. He was already infatuated with the boy the moment he laid eyes on him, but the everything felt so surreal and was happening so sudden.

Ashton decided to be cheeky and replied, "I don't kiss before the first date."

"I think today counts as our third date so far. It's only fair if I buy you a plush monkey and kiss you."

Ashton rolled his eyes and tugged on Calum's shirt, pulling him close in the middle of the store. Pressing his lips to Calum's for few savoring moments before he pulled away.

"Now where's my monkey?" He giggled.
