Richard kept his hands where they were to keep the distance between them. “So bossy.” He said with a hint of a smile. “Of course I’ve not only had one lover.” He couldn’t even say he had only one at one time as there was that one threesome… “But not the point. Do you regularly go to malls to hit on people?” He could admit to himself that the banter back in forth was amusing but so far he wasn’t impressed enough to go beyond that description.

Kit’s leg snaked up to rub against the inside of one of Richard’s own. “Bossy? How am I bossy?” he asked. “I’m being nice. Self-restraint and all that.” He winked. “I regularly go everywhere to hit on people. But I’m not sure what that has to do with our situation here and now.” Peering intensely into Richard’s eyes, Kit inquired, “So if that wasn’t the point, what is? Is this about commitment? Or maybe I’m going too fast for an elder like you.” He tilted his head. “But you know what? Life is short. Best to make the most of it while you can because you never know when it’ll come to an end.”

Richard couldn’t help it, he ended up letting out a short laugh by the time Kit was done talking. “Oh no, I’m perfectly fine with random hook ups so speed is not an issue. Fine, I’ll give a small compromise, you can join me for the rest of my shopping here.” He said, promising nothing else as he shook his head. He wasn’t used to dealing with someone this pushy and he was just going to let the other wonder what the issue had been for now instead of answering.

Kit hadn’t ceased stroking Richard’s leg with his own. He smiled at the laugh he’d finally seemed to manage to elicit from the other man. “If it’s not speed, either, I really have to say you’ve got me stumped as to why you’re still keeping me at bay.” He didn’t make any moves to release his captive from his hold, loose though it was. “And cupcake, I hate to break it to you, but that’s no compromise. I was gonna join you whether you told me I could or not.”

Richard ignored the leg for now though it wouldn’t be long before he put a stop to it before they caught attention of security. “Guess you will just have to keep thinking on the reason then.” He said with a dismissive shrug. “Oh, I know.” He gave a smirk before once again pulling away, intending to continue to other shops. “But that’s all the compromise you’re getting at the moment.”

“Ouch. So you’re going to play hard-to-get then. What a sadistic b*****d,” the younger male sneered. “Better watch your back, angel-face, because there’s only so much self-restraint I can handle. Things might get rough quicker than you expect.” Despite his words, he watched the bearded man pull away and calmly followed after him. “But I dunno. Maybe that’s your goal.”

“You are certainly confident that you could handle yourself.” Richard said as he turned and walked out of the store, leaving Kit to follow or not. “Do you normally toss around hints like that?” He asked with an amused glint in his eyes though the young man might not catch it.

“Confidence is definitely not something I’m lacking in,” Kit agreed, sticking his hands in his pockets as he ambled after Richard. He was too busy trying to release the tension in his body from their physical encounter and to mentally calm himself to notice the glint in those purple eyes. “Sometimes,” he answered. “If I think it might make things more interesting. It wouldn’t be very fair if I didn’t warn you, either, though.”

“Confidence could very well trip you up then if you aren’t careful.” Richard said, eyes flitting to Kit then back to the shoppers and shops around them. While he had only come for the strings he supposed there were a few more things he could look into while here. “I’m surprised you haven’t gotten into trouble for it before now then.” He said with a low chuckle.

Kit’s mouth formed a small half-smile. “Don’t I know it. But being careful is no fun. Besides, I look forward to seeing what consequences my choices lead to, both good and bad. Either way it’s an experience.” He gazed distantly at the passer-bys and other shops about them as they walked. “Who said I haven’t gotten into trouble for it?”

Richard gave a hum in acknowledgement. “Sure, it’s full of experiences until you wind up killed from it.” He said as his eyes landed on a store name. He pondered briefly if there was anything he needed from it before dismissing it. “Somehow that does not surprise me if you had gotten in trouble already.” He shook his head with an almost unnoticeable smile.

The younger man raised his brows. “Hehe...maybe. But at least I’ll have been able to say I’d lived life to its fullest, so I wouldn’t have any regrets.” He picked up his pace to walk closer to Richard. “I’m the sort of person who’s willing to accept it all - the good with the bad, the pain with the pleasure - and appreciate both for what they are. After all, there wouldn’t be one without the other.”

“If you say so.” Richard could think of a few regrets if he was dying and lived like that but he wouldn’t burst the kids bubble. “True but I’m sure you have your preferences between them.” He said as he side glanced at Kit as they walked side by side. The answer didn’t surprise him but whether he believed it was another thing altogether.

“You’re sure, huh?” He murmured under his breath, smiling softly to himself with his gaze still directed in front of him. It was a minute or so before he spoke again. “Speaking of preferences...do you have a type?” The young man didn’t seem to be looking at anything in particular as he spoke. Though his eyes remained looking foward, they seemed to be staring ahead without any true focus as though his mind were lost in thought.

Richard glanced over at Kit with a raised eyebrow before looking back around at the shops. “Depends on what you mean by the question. If you mean to ask what my preference to good or bad then I would say I prefer the good times. If you mean to ask about pleasure and pain then that’s something I’m not going to answer in the middle of a mall.” He said, keeping his voice level and not showing his amusement with the last bit. “If you meant anything else by the question you would have to clarify.”
