The bell on the pharmacy's door rings as Norton pushes it open and walks in, Victor following closely behind him. They were there to get a type of ointment for Norton's old scars that their doctor had recommended.
He'd complained that his scars sometimes hurt for no reason so they'd gone and had it checked out at a nearby clinic.
Victor scrunched his nose up from the strong smell of medication in the pharmacy.
"Ooh!" The first thing Norton spots as he enters are the rows of assorted lubes and condoms arranged neatly by the counter.
Victor walked past the counter with a clear goal of finding the ointment in mind, but Norton pulled him by the elbow and redirected him to the lubes and condoms by the counter.
"You like these right?" Norton was referring to the condoms but Victor was looking at the assorted candies arranged right beside the condoms.
Victor tilted his head and looked up at Norton, "Candy?"
"No, strawberry. You said last time you liked that one, didn't you?" Norton’s hand slid up Victor’s arm and settled on his neck. He used his thumb to draw circles on his skin.
Victor's eyebrows knitted together in confusion, "Straw…berry? Candy?" There was indeed strawberry-flavored candy there, but Norton knew Victor wasn't the type to eat a lot of sweets so he was still puzzled by Norton's question. He pulled Norton's hand away from his neck because it tickled.
Norton got frustrated and picked up a box of the strawberry-flavored condoms and showed Victor clearly, "These. See? You said you liked it last time, stupid."
Victor gasped and blushed. He pushed Norton's hand that was holding the condoms down and started hitting him on his arm repeatedly.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Ow!" Norton put the box of condoms back while blocking Victor's hits.
Victor pointed at the assorted candies and lowered his face in embarrassment, "I thought... you meant…"
Norton looked at what he was pointing at and burst out laughing. He pulled Victor into a hug, "Oh God, I'm so sorry, baby." He kissed the top of Victor's head, "Ah shit, you're too cute."
Victor hid his face in Norton's embrace and groaned in embarrassment.
"You're the cutest." Norton kissed his head again before cupping his chin and holding his face up. He smiled as he looked down into the blushing face of his tiny lover (UwU). Victor pouted at him pitifully.
"I'm gonna kiss you now because of that cute dumb face of yours." He leaned down closer to Victor's face.
Victor didn't do anything to retort so Norton assumed it was okay and gave him a deep kiss on the lips.
The cashier who had witnessed everything from the start just made a face at them and looked away. Yeah okay, this is normal.
Victor had to push him away because Norton wouldn't stop and kept deepening the kiss.
The cashier tried his best to ignore all the noise they were making, but he peeked a bit near the end.
Norton got a few more kisses in before Victor held a finger up and adamantly said in his small voice, "Stop!" He was gasping for air.
Norton licked his lips and pushed Victor's finger down. He leaned in close and whispered, "We'll continue this back home."
The cashier closed his eyes and sighed. Fuck, I need a smoke. Or a fuck.
Victor blushed and surrendered. He nodded as he leaned his head on Norton's chest in defeat and said, "Ointment."
"Yup, we came here for that. Lemme ask the cashier." The cashier turned around when he heard that.
Norton took his phone out and showed a photo of the ointment to the cashier, "Do you guys have this product?"
"Oh, that one would be right over in that aisle." The cashier answered after recognizing the product.
Victor looked in the direction the cashier had pointed out, "T-there?" He asked again to make sure.
"Yeah, it should be pretty easy to spot." The cashier straightened his back a bit when he answered. Norton saw that and raised an eyebrow.
"Thank you v-very much." Victor said awkwardly before looking over at Norton and tugging at his sleeve.
"You go ahead, I'll wait for you here." Victor pouted at his answer but went anyway.
They both watched as Victor walked away and disappeared into one of the aisles. Norton looked away and realized the cashier was still looking in the direction Victor had gone in.
"Hey." The cashier jolted in surprise when Norton addressed him.
"Yes-?" He turned around to find a very nasty-looking glare directed at him. He froze up and tried to remain calm. Am I going to die?
Without looking away, Norton placed a bottle of lube and three boxes of condoms on the counter, one of which was the strawberry-flavored one. He tilted his head at the cashier, "I trust that there aren't any impure thoughts in your head about my lover?"
"O-of course not!" He shook his head. He hurriedly scanned the items for fear of his safety.
