CR Really?
CR I dunno. He's kind of a lot
Y/N I can handle it.
CR Well, if you want to that bad XP
You outstretch your hands. Caroline deposits the skeleton into your arms, and, luckily, it's about as light as it looks. But something doesn't feel quite right.
Y/N This is a totally different texture than I was expecting.
CR What did you expect? Fur? XD
Y/N Plastic?
CR Wow
CR Woooow
With the most disappointment you've ever seen, Caroline gestures to you to give the skeleton back.
Y/N Wait, I didn't mean it that way!
Y/N It's just, I thought it was a model?
CR You think I would resort to fake body parts?
CR Wooooooooooooooooow
CR That's it. I'm taking your bones
To your slight relief, this means her grabbing the skeleton out of your grip and nothing else. She caresses their skull.
CR Shh
CR They didn't mean it
Y/N I'm sorry.
CR I can't believe you thought I was just... carrying a prop around!
CR Do you think I'm a little kid or something? X/
Y/N Do kids carry fake skeletons around, too?
CR I did when I was a kid!!
Y/N Oh.
Y/N Sorry. I was just... trying to lighten your load.
CR You think my friend here is a burden?
Y/N No!
Y/N I wanted to do something nice for you! Because you're cute, and interesting, and...
CR You
CR Were trying to come onto me?
If Caroline wasn't shocked before, her expression morphs into something of true horror.
CR Ohmigosh
CR No, no. Absolutely not
CR That is not how I do things! Not at all!
Y/N Sorry. Can I start over? I swear, I didn't mean anything -
CR I think it's time for you to go, Y/N
She looks grimly at the skeleton and away from you.
CR For both of our sakes
You hang your head low and remove yourself from the decor aisle. In retrospect, you should've expected this to go poorly. Gestures of chivalry and a confession? Caroline would never fall in love with someone who isn't actively horrified by her. You should have known.
