tune

Kadachi only blushed a little more at that, and he nodded, looking down at his hands. He wasn't used to compliments like that, especially from a hot new friend

Met drove in awkward silence, shifting so his legs fit more comfortably beneath the wheel, and to make some noise. Met wasn't a fan of… the quiet, so he often grew nervous and restless.

Kadachi looked around a tad, and after a moment he realized that Met was seemingly a little uncomfortable. So he began humming, softly at first, eventually just loud enough to be heard clearly

Met glanced at the other with a small grin when he heard the hums, tapping his fingers a little as he turned a corner. He sped up a little to the speed limit, glancing to the side at a passing park. He shook himself out and refocused.

Kadachi continued humming softly, not quite carrying any particular tune. His eyes flicked from various different items outside, just idly watching the world go by

Met hummed softly and paused at a light, leaning back in the seat. "So… wanna turn on the radio?" He asked softly, pointing to the centre console.

Kadachi made a small noise of confusion at first, not realizing Met was asking him something for a second. "Oh, yeah, sure," he eventually said, a little embarrassed about spacing

Met giggled softly into a hand and looked forward again. "Go ahead and switch it on, then. Put on whatever you'd like."

"Okay," Kadachi said, still a little embarrassed as he turned the radio on, playing with it for a moment before settling on something that sounded relatively chill

Met hummed softly to the music over the radio to give himself something to do. He was thankful for the quiet, smooth music to play away their awkwardness.

Kadachi found himself humming along as well, smiling faintly as he looked outside, waiting for the familiar sight of the store to show up any second now

Met soon looked out to the side, spotting the store and slowing down. "Is that it?"

Kadachi peered out the window, and after a moment he nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's it. Hermes Flower Shop," he hummed with a small smile

"Sweet," Met hummed softly, turning off the radio and pulling into the driveway of the little shop.

Kadachi stepped out once the car had been parked, smiling warmly as he did so. "This is the place," he said, gesturing to the old brick-and-mortar building covered in moss

Met pulled out his keys and shoved them in his pocket, standing out of his car and smiling warmly at the place.
"It's really old-school. I like that."

"Yeah?" Kadachi asked with a small, shy smile. He made his way over to the building, pulling his keys out before making his way over to the door

Met returned the small smile with one of his own and trotted quickly to catch up with Kadachi. He looked up, grinning at the old sign and mortar bricks. He hasn't seen a building like this in a while.

Kadachi unlocked the door, which jingled softly as they walked inside. It was rather cozy, lined with bookshelves and a small, quick-running stream flowing through the floor

Met looked around, his grin slowly turning into a smile. "Wow. It's so nice in here." He was telling the truth, too. He loved the atmosphere and the smell of the stream running through the little store.

"Thanks," Kadachi said shyly, his cheeks flushing a little at the compliment. He flipped the lights on, causing multiple creatures to look up curiously from their perches around the room

Met jumped as he was face-to-face with a tiny little owl-lizard mix with gleaming silver scales and three eyes (hope you don't mind that I took one, lol. This little owl is a mind reader like Met, and I thought it'd be cool symbolization).
"O-oh my!" He exclaimed with a beam at it. It hooted softly at him.

(it's adorable, of course we can keep it)

Kadachi smiled warmly as he walked over to Met, a feathered snake with many small, brightly colored wings flying over to them, curling around the two like some sort of elaborate ribbon

(Yay!)

The owl glanced to Kadachi before flying up and plopping itself down frankly onto Met's fuzzy hair. Met had a weird expression on his face, but he was smiling.
"What is going on?" He asked, sounding amazed.

"The animals like those that aren't fully human," Kadachi said, smiling as the flying snake draped itself like a heavy scarf across his shoulders. A weasel and a cat had made an appearance as well, though the cat seemed part fish and the weasel had feathers as well
