"When are you leaving?" Marzia asked, grabbing a tube of toothpaste from the shelf and dropping it in the basket she was carrying.

Lorelai, who had been looking at a disgusting sounding soda flavored toothpaste, put her tube back on the shelf and followed Marzia into the next aisle. "The fourth."

"And when do you come back?"

"The eighteenth."

Marzia nodded before pointing at the shelf of travel size hairbrushes and saying, "pick one." While Lorelai started looking through them, Marzia continued, "and you're meeting up with Corpse? I thought he liked remaining faceless."

Lorelai couldn't stop herself from blushing a little. "Yeah, he does."

Felix reappeared at the end of the aisle with his arms full of Krave cereal boxes, saying, "it's cause they're in love, Marz."

Lorelai looked back up at the couple and protested, "we are not in love."

"Sure you aren't," Felix snorted. "Homies call the homies 'princess', that's definitely not romantic or anything."

Lorelai quickly turned back to the shelf of hairbrushes as her blush grew dangerously red. Choosing not to chime in out of fear of jumbling her words and proving Felix's point, she simply shook her head in disagreement.

"So he's face revealing to you then?" Marzia asked. "You must be really good friends."

Lorelai shrugged. "Yeah, I suppose so. We only met like two months ago, though."

Felix chuckles. "See, Marz? Young love."

"You're only thirty-one, Felix," Marzia giggled.

"Hey! I didn't say I'm old, don't jump to conclusions, love," Felix protested.

The couple wandered off to look at calendars of cute cats in the front of the store, and Lorelai stood up from her crouching position on the floor. With a soft pop from her left knee, the Danish girl walked down the rest of the aisle she was in before turning into the aisle to her right. As the time for her to depart for the United States grew closer, Lorelai found herself both excited and nervous. There was so much to look forward to, and also so much to fear.

They'd known each other for a month or two (Lorelai couldn't remember which) and it had been insane how quickly they clicked. But now, as Lorelai stared down an aisle of pet food and various over-the-counter medications, she found herself confused. Why had Corpse trusted her so easily? It was flattering, don't get her wrong, but what was so special about her? What made Corpse trust her enough to invite her to his apartment and want to show her his face?

Confusing at best, nerve-wracking at worst.

Lorelai walked to the front of the store, joining Felix and Marzia where they were giggling over funny calendars. The trio checked out with their stuff and got back into Felix's Tesla. Lorelai was sat behind Felix in the backseat, legs crossed under her body and bags from the store in her lap. Marzia had given her the audio cord, and she was scrolling through her playlists, eventually choosing the one she and Corpse had made and letting the music flow through the car's speakers.

What if they were right? What if it was young love? Lorelai had always been so adamant as to not let herself ever ponder over those possibilities, but as she sat in the back of Felix's car with Out of My League playing through the speakers, something inside her began to shift. There was definitely a possibility she liked Corpse as more than a friend, and it was terrifying and new.

"Lorelai," Marzia said, pulling Lorelai out of her thoughts as she turned down the music. "Lorelai."

"Yeah?" She asked, eyes meeting Marzia's through the rear view mirror.

"If you need help packing, let me know."

Lorelai smiled. "Of course."
