Though they had spent as long as possible safely hiding away at home, unfortunately they couldn't stay there forever. Not just because they were expected back into work, but also because the longer he was alone, the greater his anxiety grew. The lack of social interaction had started threatening to become overwhelming and it wasn't like the mall was going to feel any safer, but at least he wouldn't be alone.

Normalcy was what they craved, but the mall was much quieter than usual and business was practically non-existent. Not that he could blame people for not being in the mood for sex or romance after the events of the other day. So he had gracefully excused himself to take a trip to the food court.

With a cup of juice in his hands, he lingered around a little longer, not quite ready to go back into work. It was then that they spotted another lonely individual at a table and the urge to strike up a conversation was too strong to resist. So they put on their best friendly smile and walked over. "Sorry to bother you, darling. Would you mind if I sit here? I could really use the company, while I have this." They gently shook the cup in their hand and briefly let their tongue play with the straw, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
