Roch looked at him. "It means she's big as a dorm," he decided, since clearly the other boil hadn't grown up in a city. "Fat. An' usually I don't judge--big, small, don't matter, but when it comes t'cupcakes, it's a WAR," he told him as he led him off campus. He seemed quite comfortable walking with someone like this--and although his idea seemed strange for a date, he didn't seem like dating someone was anything new--although for the most part you could assume it was because he'd had a ghoulfriend, except-- "I got a date this weekend with Lark, but if'ya wanna do something, I can change the time!" he said. "Oh, but I was gonna sneak inta Terra an' Angel's sleepover, then I heard Edel was back in school--oh, but if y'want me t'quit--" A part of him really, really didn't like that idea, but he was in love, right? ......maybe? Hell if he knew!

"Ahh." Marosa wasn't one to comment on a lady's weight, finding the situation confusing.
"Oi really dinnae mind what ye do, lad." The faerie murmured, a bit of worry creeping into his eyes. "Ye kin do whatever yer heart wishes." He stopped for a moment, peering at Roch curiously.
"If'n ye dinnae mind me asking, why did she break up with you?" Roch seemed like a decent enough guy, and he couldn't think as to why one would break up with him. The thought was baffling.

Roch blinked, raised a finger, lowered it, then said plain and simply, "Jacked if I know. I did my best, but hell, I guess it don't matter now!" Then he grinned--actually grinned at something that had kept him awake late at night more often than not. "But y'know--if I'm right, the fact that I'm draggin' y'around means I ain't in love with her anymore--an' after two months or so, jackDAMN am I glad I ain't." Then he leaned down and kissed the other boil on the temple. "So don't worry, even if I get over this I'll still jackin' LOVE you, man. It's like--like I'm FREE!"

Shaking his head, Marosa frowned at him, crossing his arms over his waist. "Roch, it dinnae do ye any good tae not let the heart heal. Oi tried to tell ye before-"
And then Roch kissed him. On the temple. If he'd moved his head more, it might have been on the lips. Might have.
This wasn't what he'd expected, but he should have.

"Nah, doesn't work for me," Roch said. "Years went by--years an' years an' years went by an' my heart never healed after my ma skipped out on me, why should I sit around waitin' after my ghoulfriend did the same? Y'know the song I fit best?" he asked. "It's called 'Old Friend.'" He started singing, his voice rougher than usual to fit the song. "Good morning heartache
You're like an old friend
Come and see me again--"

There was no getting through to this one, so the faerie would content himself with just being a friend to the other. He might get to talk some sense into the boil later, but as for now...
The faerie smiled as Roch began to sing, enjoying the sound as he closed his eyes. He hadn't thought of singing before, but now that Roch was singing... he thought about giving it a try.
When the other boil's song ended, Marosa hummed a melody, his heart light with the thought of music. He could probably sing, couldn't he?
But sweets first. After a few bars of melody, he turned to Roch and smiled. "Sweet things? Cupcakes, the like, aye aye?"

"Straight ahead!" Roch said, pointing to the large tent right outside the town that he'd been leading Marosa to this entire time. It was bustling with people--mostly female in persuasion, and he looked like he was about to drool as they got closer. It smelled strongly of baking and sweets. "First there's a competition," he told the boil as they went into the tent. "Y'get t'watch the bakers race around like mad tryin' t'decorate their cakes before the time is up!" He headed for the seats in front, dropping down in the two empty chairs closest the stage.

"Ah-" Marosa stated, sitting next to him and watching as they started to run around.
"Do they do this often?"

"Every couplea months or so!" Roch said happily, enjoying the show--and drooling a bit. Idly he wiped it off with his forearm. "It's jackin' beautiful," he said, grinning as the show went on. "An' part of the competition is givin' out samples--which is AWESOME. Y'get to go from each of those tables t'the next an' get cupcakes! Me an' Amphi--" Then he stopped and shrugged. "But it ain't gonna be me an' Amphi this time. So it's all good, right?"

Smiling sadly at Roch, Marosa patted him awkwardly on the back, making sure to not touch any skin. Of course, he couldn't account for anything Roch would do, so he would have to make the best of it until his ability wore off.
"Oi'm sorry, Roch." The faerie said, his heart wanting to go out for the other. He wished he could fix it, but he was slowly learning that not everything could be fixed, and not everyone wanted others to fix things for them.
It just had to run its natural course. Of course, he was anything but. His father made sure of making him feel that.
Steering his mind away from the bitter memories, Marosa turned back to watch the show, already feeling hungry for something sweet. "D'we get to eat soon?" The faerie was enjoying the show, but he just... wanted sweets. He was a sucker for them.

"Once this part's done--" and a bell rang loudly and off key, making the punk boil wince and plug his ears with his fingers for a second, "which it is--they're gonna walk around one more time, judgin' the work--then the snacks will be set out!" Roch said as he watched two stumpy looking people with clipboards walk around almost like a dog watching a treat. It seemed to go on forever, but it was finished soon. Then the bakers started putting out trays of cupcakes and Roch casually stood. "C'mon, it's time!" he said happily, grabbing Marosa's hand. "Let's go get some cupcakes!"

There went the touching again. Marosa stood out of his chair and nodded at Roch, smiling awkwardly. Would the boil hate him later for this whole event? Would he have withdrawals? The faerie shook his head, deciding for certain that he'd check on Roch later.
"What would ye suggest?" He motioned at the sweet things, eyeing the selection. Where was he supposed to start?

"Counter clockwise!" Roch told him, heading for the right of the displays. "An' work our way around the room--that way we'll at least get half the goods for sure!" He tugged Marosa behind him, grinning shamelessly at the bakers and flirting with his mouth full more often than not--With the bakers, not Marosa. Seriously, the boil seemed to love the food more than Marosa even under the love spell. In fact he stopped and held up a particularly delicious cupcake so he could admire it for a moment before finishing it off at one time. "Jackin' beautiful," he said happily--then finished it off.

Marosa couldn't keep from grinning. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. "Aye, it is." He was going to reach for it, but he was glad he waited a moment too long - his fingers might have ended up in the other boil's mouth.
Walking over to one particular booth, he tilted his head the options before choosing three, taking a small bite of each.
Huh. They were pretty good! Delight showed on the fey's face as he glanced to Roch.
"Should do this more often!"

"Abso-jackin'-lutely," Roch said with relish as he grabbed another cupcake. This was definitely the best place ever!
