Mango Tango [Afternoon; Gabe x Frog]

"Gabe caught wind of Frog's uneasiness and placed a small plastic fork on his side. "Whats wrong?" Gabe would say as he too his own plastic fork and started to stick in in one of the mango slices. After that, he placed it near his mouth and took a bite. "Oh, this is a good one. Pretty juicy as well, you should give it a try. I don't think it's a bad fruit or anything. " Gabe has seen a bad fruit before, but has he ever tasted one?

Not really, but you'll know when something doesn't taste good. You just end up throwing the whole fruit away if that was the case.

The fork placed in front of Frog triggered a response out of him. He looked up at Gabe before looking back down at the mango. Taking the fork wordlessly, he slowly punctured the mango's soft surface with its tips. Juices welled by the probing points, sliding sensually to the sides of the fruit with the ever-increasing pressure Frog was applying to it. Eventually, the slice of mango was cut into half and Frog dropped the fork in surprise. Apparently he hadn't noticed as he was forcing the fork.

His cheeks reddened a little and he pouted awkwardly. "..." Frog grasped a piece he sliced into his fingers and brought it up to his face. There was no objectivity in his observant eyes, only the fruit, yet so much confusion as well at the same time.

He was close...perchance he only needed a little more push to finally eat the mango...

"Hmm? Ahh, my apologies. I guess it was a bit unsightly to see me without a knife and fork. Howver, it's a casual fruit, and i felt that the more... as you say.. "down to earth" i'm with my demeanor, the more inviting it would seem. It's really up to you, Gerio.... I won't count this as a waste if you want back out. " With that, Gabe gave a lighthearted laugh and a smile. He didn't mind if he would be stuck eating all of this by himself. As a matter fact, the thing about trust is the actions that people take.

Gae then realized that in a way, he gave Frog a nickname. "Not sure if you minded... me calling you that.... it sounds a bit Italian when you put it that way"

"...Gerio?" What was up with that nickname? Seriously, Gerio? Frog, hearing this abomination of a nickname, pushed the mango slice right into his mouth, nomming on it viciously as he directed a deadly glare at Gabe. "What do you think what kinda nickname is that holy shit what the banana biscuit who even comes up with something like that I already have a nickname and it's Frog FROG not GERIO it's like taking the part of my name that nobody's ever called me by and make it a nick-"

Nobody's ever used that part of his name. Interesting. Fascinating, almost. This was the first time...and it was kinda cool now that he thought about it. "...ok you can call me Gerio." He answered, looking away with a pout and crossed hands. He hadn't noticed he'd eaten the mango, though.

"I didn't mean to offend, it just slipped out..." Gabe would say in a defensive tone, he wasn't making fun of the man or anything like that when he mentioned the nickname. It was a nice roll off the tongue. He also noticed that Gerio took a bite of the mango slice rather promptly, but did the guy himself notice that he just did that? Or was he so much in his own emotions that he didn't realize what he was doing? "....."

After settling with the name, Gabe felt like he should point something out. "So, how does it taste? You ate it rather quickly, so i don't think you was able to savor it.

"I ate wha- oh..." It only took a moment for Frog's confusion to fade in the face of some weird sweetly sort of aftertaste in his mouth to realize what had actually transpired. So he'd gobbled it up and hadn't even noticed, oi...not fun. Now he had to go through it again from the start. He looked at the mango plate then at Gabe then at the plate again. He grabbed one slice swiftly and pushed it into his mouth, chomping on it before swallowing it almost whole.

And he liked it. He really did. As much as he could like fruit, that is. So he was generally okayish with this new foodstuff he'd just tasted. Looking away, Frog gave Gabe a short thumbs up, pulling the hand down as soon as he was sure the other had seen it. "It's good." He said. "Iunno how to describe it, but okay." He added, pinching another slice and eating it. Y'know, for experimentational purposes.

"Well, it isn't much of a hospitable delicacy, but im glad that i was able to sate your curiosity for the time being, as well as any sort of lingering hunger before you head home. "Gabe then picked up a signature bag that had the insignia of the HitScrollsEntertainment on it and packed up the book that was purchased. " Let me get a receipt for you" Gabe would say as he printed out a copy of the receipt and handed it over to Gerio. "This might take a bit of time , reading this kind of material and all. I would only suggest that you use up a bit of free time when you don't have anything else important to do. You know?

Frog nodded. "Thanks for the mango, really. Dunno I probably wouldn't have tried it anytime soon had I not come here. So thanks." He took the bag from Gabe. Carrying the bag with the logo around gave him shivers even thinking about all the judgemental stares from both passerbies and his parents alike, but he gulped it down...he wasn't a wuss...he could take it. Probably. Shoving away the copy of the receipt into the bag along with the manga, he looked back at Gabe.

"Alright, I guess I'll have to divide some attention to it then. I'll keep that in mind sometime soon if I'm not too tired." He added. It was probably time to go now, though. "So I'll get back at you with some feedback, I suppose?" He asked, walking towards the door. "Once again, thanks. I gotta go now. Appointments and stuff..." He recalled the storytelling thing...it was gonna be such a joke, omg. "But I'm sure we'll meet again." For all the good or bad that meant.

Frog exited the shop, poorer by some cash but richer by a new experience and some mango stuffz to read. All in all, it wasn't a mistake to go in. Now just to put the back under his clothes and hide it as he walked to his next destination...
