It was early in the morning but I was out and ready to stalk follow Tao to wherever he was heading to. It was the weekend and yet this boy was out and about, walking with a spring in his step. He looks like a child going to the toy store with plenty of money in his wallet... His attire though, it was a complete contrast to his behaviour. Where his personality seemed to be the complete opposite of Sehun's, his dress code was exactly the same. Tao was wearing a teal blue hoodie, hiding his head from the gazes of others, earphones in both ears. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, his back hunched over slightly. Sheesh, I think I need to change both Sehun's and Tao's style... I mean they look hot in this weird, grungy-look kind of way but I'm sure if they just took a little more care and spruced up, they'd look totally handsome and good enough to be eye-candy. Maybe Luhan and Kris can rub off some of their fashion sense onto these two boys. But first, I've got to get each couple together...

After a lot of walking (for Tao... For me it was more like flying/gliding), we finally reached the mall. He quickened his pace, almost sprinting to the plushie shop. I giggled to myself. Aww, the boy has to be the cutest thing alive; he's getting all excited over soft toys. His fingers trailed over the assortment of panda plushies.
"Which one shall I buy?" he mused. I found myself browsing through the other plushies, letting Tao do his shopping at his own pace.

Suddenly, I see a face that I've only ever seen in a picture. Kris! He was shopping at a plushie store too? At the same time, Tao also noticed the tall blonde.
"OMG, it's the 'ice prince'!" He shouts out before he can stop himself. I groan at his sudden outburst. The boy seems to have realized his own mistake as he claps his hand over his mouth. Kris just glares, gripping the dragon plushie in his hand tightly. Haha, that's quite funny... From my perspective, Tao is an innocent panda plushie who is being hunted down by the dragon plushie, Kris. I giggle to myself, seeing the pair size each other up, each holding onto a cute plushie. It was like a staredown in the middle of the cutest place imaginable. But then again, it makes it totally possible for the two to end up together; how can they NOT bond over plushies? Now I see what it meant when under Kris' bio, it said that he was actually quite a cute person with a more charismatic outer appearance.

They both walked to the counter and paid for their plushies. They continued to monitor the other, trying to see who would break under pressure. In the end, Kris pulled Tao away by the arm, and I frantically followed the two.
"Where are you taking me?" screamed Tao. Everyone else in the mall was beginning to stare and at this moment, I'm so glad that I'm invisible. How embarrassing would it be to get caught with a guy dragging away another guy who's screaming his head off?
"Shut up and be quiet!" ordered Kris. Oh my god, is something bad going to happen? I bite my lip, nervously wondering if I should step in. But before I could, they stopped at the food court. Huh? Was Kris going to stuff Tao and then eat him?! (Yes, my mind does tend to go into overthinking mode... But that's who I am!)
"Wait here." Tao squirmed in his seat, wanting to run away; but I guess curiosity got the better of him. He stayed where he was, waiting for his 'ice prince' to come back for him.

Soon enough, Kris came back with two ice-creams in his hand and handed one to the waiting panda, who immediately grabbed it and began in happiness.
"Now promise not to tell anyone," said Kris. Tao laughs at the giant in front of him.
"Are you bribing me with ice-cream?" asked Tao, his voice full of laughter.
"You can't tell anyone," pleads Kris, his face looking up at Tao expectantly. Wow. This guy really cares about his image...
"And why would I tell anyone?" replied Tao, raising one of his eyebrows.
"I don't know. But I can't afford to lose the reputation that I've built up over the last few years." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Kris' statement. I guess he's one of those guys that think popularity is everything...
"Oh, so you want to remain as the ice prince from Canada who's too cool to be true." Tao's face was absolutely hilarious, and I couldn't help but love this kid's sense of humour.
"Exactly." But I guess Kris didn't get it...
"But you were buying a cute plushie."
"That's the point. No-one can know I collect them."
"Ooo you collect them too?? I thought it was like a present or something," teases Tao, sticking his tongue out playfully.
Kris facepalms. 1 for Tao, 0 for Kris.
“Damn that..." Kris sighs in defeat.
"Can you show me it one day?" Tao asks, doing aegyo for the elder.
Kris internally blushes, but Tao suddenly gets up.
"I have to go now, gege! Bye!"
"Who said you could call me gege?" Kris says to himself, trying to stop the smile that was slowly spreading on his face.

Suddenly Chanyeol plops down in the seat in front of him. Oh yeah, they're childhood friends; the two tall giants with deep voices. I decide to stay with these two, and let Tao go home alone. I'm sure I'll learn something more about my other humans.
"So who was that kid?" asks Chanyeol, a slightly creepy grin on his face.
"None of your business." Hehe, seems like someone's a little shy.
"Ohoho someone's got a crush," teased Chanyeol. Wow, this boy is really his childhood friend. He can tell just from one sentence?
"I think not." Tsk tsk, denial...
"He knows about your plushie collection..." said Chanyeol, a sparkle in his eyes.
"Oh my god. How did you hear that?" Kris was suddenly panicked, and even I had to wonder how Chanyeol knew.
"Haha just a silly guess, I could see the shopping bag with a dragon's head poking out of it," he explained. Kris huffs and pouts, whilst Chanyeol just laughs at his friend, lightly punching the elder playfully.

The boys keep chatting for a while and I zone out. Then I notice eyes staring at the two, eyes heavy with eyeliner. Oh my. What a wonderful coincidence. Time to work on the next couple.
