"They're just impatient, that's all," she teased, poking his cheek. "You're just too cute for them."

Mush smiled, waving her compliment away with his hand.
"Well, what about you? Why am I not fighting guys off with a stick?" He really was genuinely surprised that he hadn't had any competition.

Ershey shrugged, looking down at her hands. "I'm always workin'. If I'm not tryin' to sell papes, I'm servin' over at Tibby's and if I'm not doin' that..." I'm tryin' to make money to pay off Ericson. "I, uh.. I'm runnin' from the bulls. You're just lucky you caught me at Tibby's."
((Btw, I have an epic thread idea for when Mush finds about Ericson!))

((Oooh, okay! I can't wait!))
Mush was still a bit confused. "So, if yer workin' two job... Why do you steal?" He didn't sound malicious or accusing; he was just curious. He got worried thinking about Ershey out there running away from the bulls.

"It's just... a bad habit," she said softly, avoiding looking at Mush directly. "It's somethin' I've always done when I was little and... I guess it sort of stayed. It's not the best habit to have..."
She looked at her feet, suddenly incredibly interested in them. She wasn't going to bring up Ericson now, not when things were going so well.

Mush cleared his throat as he played with the blanket underneath them.
"Maybe... I could help you kick it. The habit, I mean."

Shit. Now I'd have to hide from him when I'm stealin' too...
"How?" asked Ershey, curious to hear what Mush would come up with.

"I... have no idea." Mush laughed, shrugging his shoulders.
"I don't know nothin' 'bout stuff like that. All I know is sellin' papes."

"I'll be fine," said Ershey reassuringly, finally looking over at him. "I won't get caught, I promise."
Upon hearing his last comment, Ershey couldn't help but smile. "I'm sure you know about a lot of other things other than selling papes."

Ershey rolled her eyes at him, softly poking his stomach. "You know a lot about workin' out... and listening to people, being a good friend and... er, a boyfriend..."

Of course, Mush blushed furiously at her last statement. So, he decided to latch on to another one.
"Yeah, I do know about workin' out..." He rolled up the sleeve of his shirt to show off his arm muscles.

((LOL!))
"Uh... er, a..." Ershey's eyes widened, completely losing her train of thought once Mush showed his muscles. She felt her face flush a deep red, quickly putting her hands to cheeks. She was speechless and shocked that he would pull something like that. Ershey was a deer in headlights.

"Come on, Ersh... You know you wanna touch my arm!" Mush said, smiling widely as he spoke.

"You're such a tease," she laughed, covering her face with her hand as she reached over to touch his arm.
