standing my the same sweets vendor, staring at the sweetbuns longingly.

spots the boy and grins. His mind is trying to decide if he should go and bother the youth.

seems to be very sad that he can't buy one. Maybe he could go ask Anya for money later...

noticed this sadness. He could easily tell why too considering he usually has the same problem. "What seems to be the problem?

"

jumps slightly in surprise at the familiar voice, "Oh... F-Fran... I was j-j-just looking at the s-sweetbuns..."

blinked at the boy before grabbing a coin out of his pocket and paying for the bun. "And now you have one." He held the bun out to him.

took the bun, looking somewhat surprised, "Y-You're not expecting p-payment like b-before... Right?

looked a bit confused for a moment before he shook his head. "Non non, no payment. This is free.~"

sighs in relief, taking a bite out of the bun, "Th-Thank you v-very m-m-m-much."

nodded before patting the boy on the head. "It's no problem at all."

flinches, even though it is barely discernable. "W-What are you d-d-doing here anyways?"

"I happened to come across some money, and since I have a job now, I figured I'd buy another bottle of wine. It seems to be a good ice

breaker."

nods, taking another bite of his sweetbun. "Wine? W-Wow... I haven't h-h-had wine in a l-long time... H-How d-do you

s-s-stand it?" He couldn't remember it having a good taste.

shrugged. Alcohol wasn't for everyone, especially those so young. "It depends on whether the good stuff is bought. If you get the cheap

stuff it is usually not that good."

understands this completely, "L-Like v-vodka..."

"Oui oui, like... vodka. You drink vodka? You seem a bit young for such hard stuff."

shrugs, taking another bite of his sweetbun, happily finishing it off, "M-My p-parents have b-been g-giving it to me s-since I was little."

found that perfectly normal though, after all his parents gave him wine from a young age. "Ah, I see. I forget that vodka is more prevalent

where you are from."

smiles slightly, "E-Exactly. They s-s-said that they w-would always g-give it to m-m-me when I was t-t-teething."

blinked... he hadn't had alcohol /that/ young. "I see."

licks and sucks on his fingers, wanting to enjoy the remnants of the sweetbun stuck there.

watches this action with a bit interest... suddenly wanting to kiss the boy again.

looks down as he wipes his hands on his pants, cleaning them the best he can.

leans over and kisses once more.

squeaks into the kiss in surprise, suddenly blushing up a storm and jumping back to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, "W-What was th

-that?!"

blinked innocently. "It was a kiss obviously. What else would it have been?"

flails in embarassment before bringing his hands up to cover his face in an effort to hide just how bright he was blushing, "But w-why?"
