''Oi! Stop, I never said anything!" Baji tried to defend himself as he put his hand over his slightly-aching arm.

''You were thinking it!"

''Was not!"

''Were too!"

''I wasn't!''

Y/n was about to retort back when she noticed the few people in the store looking at them, some in entertainment, some in annoyance. She felt heat crawl up her body from embarrassment and quickly grabbed Baji's wrist, dragging him behind some of the shelves.

I can't belive this just happened, Y/n thought as she ran a hand through her hair. Baji couldn't help but chuckle at her flustered state. ''Shut up, you idiot, it's not funny!''

Turning around, Y/n looked at all the notebooks displayed in front of her, half to actually look at them, half so she didn't have to look at Baji's teasing grin. Quickly picking up a notebook, she opened it and ran her hand through the pages. ''This one's too big,'' she said before she put it back.

''What're you even looking for?'' Baji asked after finally calming down, coming to stand at her side so he can see what she was holding.

''I got some money and I wanna buy some new notebooks.'' She picked up another notebook from the shelf and inspected it. ''I also wanna buy new pens and shit, too.''

''Just get that one and we can go, how hard can it be to pick out a notebook?'' Baji commented, picking out a notebook to look at as well.

''It's not that easy, Baji,'' she shook her head, closing the notebook and putting it back on the shelf. ''I have to feel the connection with the notebook, you know? I can't just buy any notebook.''

As hard as he tried, Baji didn't understand what she meant. Still, he let her do her thing and observed from the side. Even though he didn't get to see her try on clothes, he didn't mind watching how excited she was to shop for notebooks.

''Should I get the purple one or the yellow one? But those have lines? The pink one? With the squares? Ah, so many options!'' Y/n said, having laid out five notebooks in front of herself, trying to choose which one to get. She turned to look at Baji, pointing at the notebooks. ''Baji, which one should I get?''

He didn't expect to be asked about an opinion for such a topic, but he did try to assist her as much as he could. ''Well, the purple one with the cats is nice, I guess. And aren't lines clearer to write on than squares? Or maybe get a blank purple one.''

She scratched her chin, nodding at his words. ''Yeah, you've got a point. I'll get a blank purple one, then!''

Quickly putting back the rest of the notebooks she'd picked up, Y/n headed deeper in the store, where variety of pens and pencils were laid out. She was quicker with the choice of those, grabbing four of the same pen and a few colored pens before making her way back to Baji, who simply watched her as she went around the isle.

''Okay, I'm done with this store, we can go to the next one.''

Baji couldn't help but let his mind wander as Y/n paid for her things. Is she going to bring me to a clothing store now? Did she actually joke with me earlier and that was actually the original plan all along?

He should've given up on the clothing store dreams earlier, but he realized that just as they stopped in front of another store - this time, a bookstore.

''I'll be quick here, I know what I came for anyway.''

True to her word, they only spent around seven minutes in the store and mostly because there was a line at the cash register. After visiting a third store, that one for DIY supplies, and letting Y/n buy some wool for knitting, she came to a stop in the middle fo the shopping center and took out her phone to check the time.
