You're walking around the grocery store, buying a few things to cook for dinner. As you are checking the prices of some canned foods, you felt someone tugging the hem of your pants.

You turned your head around and looked down. You were met by a little girl, around the age of 5 or so, with blonde hair tied up on pigtails and a red flowery dress.

She looks up to you with a bright smile,

"My big brother over there thinks you're cute."

She told you with a toothy grin and pointed at a tall, tan, blue-haired man who's at the other side of the aisle.

You smiled at the little girl, feeling flattered by the compliment. You crouched down to her eye-level,

"Is that so? Tell your brother I said thank you."

You replied with a chuckle, patting her head as she beamed at you and nodded.

"Okay!"

The little girl replied and took off, running back to the man she called as her 'big brother' and tugged onto the side of his pants. The man leaned down on the little girl as she also leaned close to him and started to whisper something on his ear.

You can see him slightly tense up from whatever the little girl whispered. He then glanced at you.

Suddenly feeling embarrassed, you stood up and looked away, pushing your cart and quickly leaving that aisle. You took a few laps around the other aisle, trying to brush off the feeling of embarrassment.

As you were walking around, the little girl from earlier suddenly appeared at the other end of the aisle. She gave you a huge smile and waved at you.

You just stood there, awkwardly waving back at her. You then saw her calling out to someone and pointing at you. Then the man from earlier peaked out and glanced at you.

The two started to make their way towards you, with the little girl skipping as the man followed behind.

You stood there, panicking and wanting to leave, but for some reason, your feet won't move. None of your body parts could move.

So you just stood there, your grip on the handle of the cart tightening as you stared at the man walking towards you.

"Uhm.. Hi. Sorry to disturb you but uh, is this yours?"

He asked with a sheepish smile. He took out a [fav. color] wallet and handed it to you.

"Ah-- Yes! T-Thank you."

You replied, taking your wallet and mentally cursed at yourself as you thought, why are you stuttering?

He then gave you a soft smile and nodded. The two of you then stood there with an awkward silence.

Suddenly, the little girl came forward and gave you another toothy grin.

"My big brother says you're cute. Do you think he's cute too?"

She asked, giving you a bright smile. The man suddenly became flustered and quickly covered the little girl's mouth. He looks back up at you and gave you an awkward smile.

"I-I'm so sorry. She's quite the talkative one."

He apologized, picking up the little girl by his arm while still covering her mouth.

You smiled and shrugged,

"No need to apologize. Kids are like that."

You replied with a chuckle. You then glanced at the little girl and gave her a smile.

"I think your brother's quite cute too."

You whispered to her, yet loud enough for her 'big brother' to hear. The little girl beamed, she removed her brother's hand which was covering her mouth and stared at you with wide eyes, smiling widely.

"Would you like to go on a date with him?"

She asked, looking at you with sparkling eyes.

You and the man's face suddenly became flushed at the little girl's question.

You looked at her brother's face and noticed his embarrassed expression. Not wanting to make the situation anymore awkward, you smiled back at the little girl.

"Uhm... How about you talk about that with your big brother first? So he could prepare, hmm?"

You replied with an awkward smile as you tried to make up a convincing excuse for the little girl. She stared at you for a while, then whipped her head to face her 'big brother'.

You watched as the little girl suddenly pulled him to the side, a few inches away from you and whispered at each other.

For a few seconds, you're just standing there awkwardly as you tried to wait for the two to finish their conversation.

You started to look around, feeling anxious and awkward. Unsure whether you should still wait or move along, continuing on with your shopping.

As soon as you finally decided to move along, the two also finished their little meeting.

The little girl faced you with a seemingly proud smile on her face, with her hands placed on her hips.

"Big brother Kaeya said he wants to go on a date with you!"

You stood there with a shocked look on your face as you didn't expect for the guy to just agree with the kid's request. Especially with a stranger! Your gaze landed on the so called "big brother Kaeya" still in complete disbelief. He met your gaze and gave you a sheepish smile.

He mouthed some words that you could barely make out, but some of the words you were able to decode are; "sorry" and "run along".

You looked back at the little girl who's still staring at you with her proud smile, as if waiting for your response.

You let out a sigh.

"Sorry about this. I just couldn't bare to disagree with the kid." Kaeya apologized as he handed you a drink.

You let out a small chuckle.

"It's alright, I should've honestly seen it coming since I'm playing along with her. Still didn't think it would land me into an actual "date"."

You both laughed at your response.

You're all now at a nearby park from the mall. Sitting by the swing as you both watched Klee play around with some other kids.

You're sudden "date" with Kaeya happened as soon as you agreed to play along with Klee's request. You were terrified at first in all honesty, but as soon as you got to talk with Kaeya, you became less anxious, specially right after seeing that your "dating spot" is a park nearby.

It's not so bad.
