Cotton candy relay~

Stalas, holding the two cotton candies carefully, turns to look back at the ring toss booth to see if Eios is done yet. He blinks when he notices Eios isn’t at the booth anymore—he’s walking toward him, eyes narrowed sharply at the stranger who had just paid.

The man who bought the cotton candy is still standing nearby, hands in his pockets, giving Stalas a casual smile.

Before Stalas can even say anything, Eios is right there. He shoves past the man, his voice low but dangerous. “You think it’s funny trying to buy things for people that aren’t yours?”

The man, startled, raises his hands slightly. “Whoa— hey, relax, I was just being nice—”

Eios grabs the guy by the collar, yanking him close. “Did I look like I was laughing?”

Stalas freezes, his cotton candy almost slipping out of his hands. “E-Eios—!!”

People around start glancing their way, but Eios doesn’t seem to care. His grip tightens, his glare sharp enough to pierce through the man. “Listen carefully. You don’t put your hands—your card—anything—between me and him again. Got it?”

The man stammers, “Y-yeah—got it—!”

Eios shoves him back harshly, and the stranger stumbles before quickly walking off into the crowd, muttering to himself.

Stalas stands stiff, eyes wide. “…Eios… you didn’t… you didn’t have to do that…”

Eios finally turns to face him, his expression softening only slightly as he notices how shaken Stalas looks. “…he touched what was mine. I’m not letting that slide.”

“M-mine?!” —Stalas blurts, his whole face going bright red.

Eios smirks faintly, stepping closer until he’s right in Stalas’ space. He plucks the strawberry cotton candy from Stalas’ hand, taking a bite without asking. “Mm. Sweet.”

Stalas’ heart is practically about to burst out of his chest, his grip tightening on the other cotton candy. “Y-you can’t just— just claim stuff like that!!”

“Why not?” —Eios asks calmly, leaning in with that same intense look. “You gonna stop me?”

Stalas swallows hard, trying to form words but failing miserably. Finally, he turns away with a frustrated groan, muttering under his breath, “you’re impossible…” again.

Eios chuckles, brushing a bit of cotton candy from Stalas’ cheek with his thumb before pulling back. “Relax. I’m not gonna hurt you. Just… don’t let anyone else step in like that again, alright?”

Stalas can’t even look at him, his face redder than the strawberry in Eios’ hand. “…you’re insane…”

Eios smirks, taking another bite. “Maybe. But you like me anyway.”

“WH-WHAT— I DONT LIKE YOU— WELL AS A FRIEND I DO BUT—“ then, Eios chuckles softly and pulled Stalas into a teasing hug

“What’s wrong Stalas?” *Stalas gently grabs onto Eios’ hand, trying to pry it off of him as he feels his face started to get hot.

He knew he was blushing now.

”n—nothings wrong— I—“ *Stalas, still flustered as Eios continues to hug him studders and pauses” Eios smirks even more.

“What’s wrong Stalas?” Eios leans down to him, “Are you…flustered?” He teases
