Lily stuck her tongue out at him playfully in retaliation, snickering as he leaned into her in turn. “It’s almost as though I value your opinion or something.” She teased lightheartedly.
At the intersection she took the lead again, relieved that they aren’t terribly far from the pizza parlor. She doesn’t mind doing a lot of walking, of course! But she won’t complain about an opportunity to be lazy, either.
“That’s fair.” She hummed “Push comes to shove, we can always go to one of our places and sit on the balcony.” She added, in case they don’t want to risk dealing with people.
After spending the morning doing research on places in Linkon City that offer milk tea, Lily finally found a place that seemed like it would be a nice place to visit and had the coffee milk tea that Xavier mentioned. Plus it wasn't far from a few good places to eat so they'd have options based on what they were feeling up to without having to go all the way across town. Perfect.
Lily finally sent Xavier a text in the late morning.
'I found a place that has that coffee milk tea you mentioned! And it has really good reviews.'
After a moment of thought, she sent another text as well.
'And thank you for walking me home last night. I really appreciated it. It was nice, looking at the stars with you.'
If not for the sporadic texts, Xavier would still be asleep. Outside the birds that often bickered over his balcony were squawking at a volume loudly. The combination of factors is enough to stir him, just barely. He knows its her before having to unlock his phone.
↪[ Audio: I'm awake. I'm up. I'm coming. ]

In a flash he rinses off, takes care of basic hygiene, and is donning a favored hoodie in spite of the weather.
By the time he gets downstairs, he's already rubbing his eyes again as he knocks on the door.
His answer prompts her to tilt her head as she looked up to him. "We don't have to if you think it would taste bad, of course." She reminded gently. "Just because we want to try something new doesn't mean we have to completely forgo all preferences, after all."
His suggestion to eat outside earned an eager nod in response. "I think eating outside is a great idea! We could eat at the park, maybe?" She hummed, trying to think of any other places that might be a good place to eat and people-watch.

Lily had a feeling that she had indeed figured out his plan, giggling quietly to herself. She took a moment to lean into him, the best sign of affection she could offer at the moment without risking their drinks.
She hummed thoughtfully at his suggestions, nodding along. "Bell peppers maybe? They'll add a nice refreshing aspect to it." She mused, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the security of having him so close.
As much as she knows she doesn't understand Xavier, she can't deny the comfort and safety he brings. She tries to her best to pull her own weight, to be alert, but it still pales in comparison to his own skills. So while it's just the two of them on a day off... She's willing to let herself indulge in letting her guard down for the time being.

Lily still found herself a little giggly as she motioned for Xavier to get comfortable on the couch while she gathered some blankets and other comfort items.
"Quiet days in tend to be the best anyways." She agreed with a content hum, joining him on the couch after she was satisfied with all of the soft-things she'd brought out for the two of them.

Does she do her best to be healthy and take care of herself? Of course.
Does she enjoy junk food as much as the next person? Absolutely.
So she hummed in agreement, laughing a little as she led the way to the nearest pizza shop. "So long as it isn't the only thing you eat this week, sure." She teased lightly. His thoughts about toppings earned some nods of agreement, snickering at vegetables being a second thought.
"We can try a few different meat and vegetable combinations, sure. I'm curious which ones would make good left overs, anyways."

Lily snorted at his shock, though it quickly devolved to proper laughter as she leaned into his side for stability. She had thought it was out of character for him to volunteer to go out, but was more than willing to roll with it if he had wanted to.
"Okay, okay. How about just a movie night with some snacks?" She offered, her eyes still scrunched up from her giggles. "And if you want, I can bring out all the silly little hair clips I have for you to play with, as retaliation for my ever-so-cruel suggestion we go out?" She teased lightheartedly.

While he wouldn't find his desperation mirrored in her, there was still curiosity and affection. A fondness that she still reserved for him and him alone. She can tell he's looking for... something, but she doesn't know what. Whatever it is, he apparently didn't find it, and some sort of heavy guilt settles itself in her.
She does her best not to linger on it, focusing on what he said. "I certainly wouldn't complain about going out like this. I think we look rather adorable, matching like this." She answered easily, her tone genuine but playful at the same time. "We could probably use the relaxed outside time, too." She mused.

Lily didn't mind him holding her wrist to keep it stable, waiting patiently as he takes a sip. Something about the way he phrased his thoughts made her cheeks warm up, but she refused to linger on it for now. "Maybe?" She hummed thoughtfully.
When he held his own drink out for her she took a small sip, her head tilted slightly as she considered the flavor. It was a bit strange, having just been drinking her fruit tea. But it wasn't bad.
So she gave an appreciative hum and nod. "That's actually pretty good, even with the residual fruitiness from my drink!" She beamed. "Thank you, for letting me try it."
After a moment of consideration, she started down the street again, figuring she can head towards more food places while they decide.

And because she's still feeling rather playful, she tilted her head back some to gently boop him on the nose in one of the photos.

Lily couldn’t fight the flush as Xavier went on about all of the little things that make her excited, her pout disappearing completely. Honestly, it made her heart skip a beat in a good way, to know that he paid such close attention to such little things. She really shouldn’t be surprised that he was so observant, but it was touching all the same.
The affectionate train of thought was derailed by the teasing, her cheeks turning even deeper pink in embarrassment as she shifted to lightly elbow him in the side. “Oh, hush.” She ‘scolded’, even as she turned her attention up towards the menu.
Fortunately, she did manage to decide before they made it up front, figuring she’d go with a fruity tea, something on the sweeter side. Once she had finally decided on a drink, she honestly seemed rather proud of herself.

She looked up to Xavier curiously at his question, then flushing a little. "I don't think I did anything too different?" She admitted, then grinning up at him. "Maybe it's just he excitement of getting to spend the day with you~!" She teased happily.
Her amusement turned to a playful pout at his teasing, sticking her tongue out before looking towards the menu again. "I'm not that bad at deciding..."

Lily quite honestly hadn’t meant to tease him for falling asleep outside of buildings, not having even realized he’d done so. It’s hardly surprising, considering she’s seen him doze off most anywhere and everywhere, but it had somehow never crossed her mind.
His offer kept her from getting too lost in her concern, her expression softening. “I’ll keep that in mind.” She hummed appreciatively. “And the same to you. If you ever end up too tired, go ahead and call me.” She wants to make sure that he knows he can rely on her too, after all!
Lifting a hand to try and block some of the sun from her eyes, Lily glanced back at Xavier, only to notice him struggling to adjust to the brightness too.

After spending the morning doing research on places in Linkon City that offer milk tea, Lily finally found a place that seemed like it would be a nice place to visit and had the coffee milk tea that Xavier mentioned. Plus it wasn't far from a few good places to eat so they'd have options based on what they were feeling up to without having to go all the way across town. Perfect.
Lily finally sent Xavier a text in the late morning.
'I found a place that has that coffee milk tea you mentioned! And it has really good reviews.'
After a moment of thought, she sent another text as well.
'And thank you for walking me home last night. I really appreciated it. It was nice, looking at the stars with you.'
If not for the sporadic texts, Xavier would still be asleep. Outside the birds that often bickered over his balcony were squawking at a volume loudly. The combination of factors is enough to stir him, just barely. He knows its her before having to unlock his phone.

↪[ It was nice. Let's do it again sometime ]
In a flash he rinses off, takes care of basic hygiene, and is donning a favored hoodie in spite of the weather.
By the time he gets downstairs, he's already rubbing his eyes again as he knocks on the door.
Lily hummed her agreement, since she knows full well that caffeine is only good in moderation. She made that mistake once, and that one time was plenty enough warning.
She hummed happily as she headed out with him, thanking him for holding the door for her. The teasing made her cheeks flush pink as she lightly nudged him with her elbow, giving him a playful pout.
"It wasn't that late!" She insisted though there was of course no heat to her fussing. "But you're right that I really shouldn't make it a habit. If that keeps up, it'd be my luck I'd fall asleep just outside the building or something." She snickered, opening the door to the building and holding it for him this time.
"Well, first things first I figure we go to the tea place, then figure out what food we're in the mood for. Then from there, see what we have the energy for?"

Lily lit up when Xavier didn't really question her, giggling as quietly as she could as she gently ran her fingers through his hair, just like she usually does when straightening out his hair.
This time, however, she also adds a cute little star-shaped hair clip to help keep his bangs out of his face.
After a few more moments, she finally spoke again. "Okay, open your eyes."
She had a compact mirror held up so he could see his reflection, having a matching clip in her own hair, on the opposite side as she'd placed his.
“I trust you” - @lily-of-the-linkon
"Huh? What are you up to?" He closes his eyes.

Lily still couldn't help being just a little smidgen doubtful that it was his natural alarm clocks that woke him, but she accepted it for now with a small chuckle and nod.
She stepped out of the apartment when he moved for her, locking up behind her before starting towards the elevator. "Well, hopefully the coffee milk tea will help with waking you up." She hummed, tone playful. "And if not we can get some actual coffee or something too." Though, since they're getting food too, she wouldn't be surprised if they end up tired all over again...
Dismissing the thought as a problem to tackle once they get to it, she nodded to the question. "I did, thankfully. I'm a little surprised I didn't manage to sleep through my alarm, honestly." She admitted with a sheepish laugh. "I think that last night's walk with you was exactly what I needed."

Lily couldn't help but laugh to herself when listening to his audio message, shaking her head affectionately. He sounded half asleep still, meaning he must just have been waking up. She almost felt bad for potentially waking him, but well... He shouldn't go sleeping the whole day away either.
She'd opted for a simple pair of black slacks, a tank top, and a jacket just in case the shops are cold. She'd already gone through her morning routine, so once he acknowledged he was awake, she made sure she had her wallet and phone, and waited to hear from him again.
When he knocked she was quick to answer the door, offering him a relaxed smile. Seeing how tired he still looked, her expression became more sympathetic. "Did I wake you up?"
