Private Finished A Spot of Coffee, Maybe a Bandaid

Cam would've probably been skipping if it wasn't so hard with his prosthetic. He was that cheery today, although Cam was almost always cheery. But today was special. Well, it shouldn't have been that special but Cam felt it was special. He wished it could've been special but it wasn't special so maybe he should stop using the word special for now.
Cam laughed a bit at his own thoughts while he made his way towards The Forbidden Zone, the nightclub sounding edgy coffee shop. Or at least Kal had said the place was edgy but Cam had seen and been many kinds of edgy during his life so he wanted to judge the edginess factor himself. But on this island edgy could have any meaning so Cam was looking forward to it. That, and the bandaids.
What he was looking forward to most, however, was hanging out with Kal. For some reason Cam kept randomly remembering the brief conversation he had had with Shiro. Well, Cam knew perfectly well the reason he kept remembering it. But he pushed it out of his mind. For various reasons Cam shouldn't be thinking about it now.

Cam soon got the building in his sights, and bit later he saw Kal in front of it. Cam checked the time and chuckled, Kal was early. Somehow Cam was not surprised. He sneaked a quick look at his own outfit before going closer. Cam had had a battle with his closet before exiting the house, the kind that resulted in all his clothes being thrown all over the room. And that battle had resulted in him wearing black pants with different length pantlegs, the other being long enough to cover his prosthetic and the other ending just above the knee. But Cam succeeded in making it look fashionable rather than silly. He had a loose, fluttery t-shirt with wide neckline that reached his hips, coloured in all kinds of shades of blue and it matched Cam's eyes. Above that Cam wore a white vest that was open at the front, long at the back, reaching Cam's middle thighs, and fluttery in the same way as the t-shirt. Cam had tried to up his edginess by wearing a black leather choker with a skull pendant and same style leather bracelets. And if you looked closely you could see Cam was wearing some grey eyeshadow, and he had put on some black nail polish.

Cam already had a grin on his face when he breezed over to Kal, waving.
"Hi there~ Ready to get cut by some edginess? As you can see, I came prepared."
Cam snickered and showed off his black nails and leather jewelery a bit. He was rather proud of his choices, he had borrowed them from Dragomir. His hair he had actually gathered up on a loose bun, since it was hot and his hair was dark brown.
"Well then, don't waste any time. Show me what you got."
Cam meant the bandaids, naturally, and did a small "bring it" gesture with his hand, grinning happily all the while.

Camille did notice today Kal looked less like he was just about to go to the beach, since the guy was wearinb actual shoes and jeans. Cam liked Kal's normal appearance, it looked so natural on him, but he wasn't disappointed by this look either. Like most things about Kal it made Cam smile.
"Oh, you should never compete with me in dressing up. You could get seriously hurt, young man. I'm a professional, after all, so I'm allowed to look fabulous at all times. Besides, you look perfect just the way you are."
Cam grinned,

Cam stepped forward a bit when Kal pulled out the bandaids, looking excited beyond belief. He had no idea why he was so excited to wear silly bandaids, and how the joke had progressed this far. But Cam didn't care, he was having fun.
Cam gasped slightly at the pink bandaid with unicorns, rainbows and stars and smiled widely, awing.
"Oh, this is the cutest bandaid I have ever seen. Good job, now I can really show off my inner unicorn."
Then out came the pickle and Cam blinked and pfft'd, eventually cackling a bit. He observed the realistic looking pickle and kept chuckling and giggling at it.
"Hope you weren't in a pickle while choosing these. I can imagine how hard the decision was."
Oh yes he did. The most obvious oun, and Cam used it. No shame.

Cam watched with amusement as Kal made presenting the final bandaid a huge show, and it was effective in Cam making grand assumptions over what kind of bandaid it would be. His mind went from bandaids with embarrassing text to...NSFW shaped ones. Cam grinned and played along with Kal.
"Wow, that's amazing! Please do tell me what it is!"
Cam made his best impression of one of those people in informercals that were always unbelievably amazed at the product. And Cam had actually once been that person in an infomercial when he had been young, so the act wasn't all that unfamiliar to him.

When Kal finally gave the final bandaid to Cam he lifted a hand to his chest and had the feigned expression of shocked, pleassnt surprise.
"For me? Oh, you shouldn't have."
Then Cam looked at the bandaid itself, and the surprise on his face turned genuine. But after a short while he burst out laughing along with Kal and took the bandaid, observing it while giggling.
"Oh my gosh, this is the best one. I love it."
Cam calmed his giggling a bit to really look at the bandaid with Kal's grinning face on it. Somehow looking at Kal's grinning face made Cam feel extra happy. He looked at Kal, and felt even happier the real thing was here too.
"This bandaid will really make jaws drop and stomachs turn. With this on I will be irresistable."
Cam went ahead and attached the bandaid with Kal on it to his cheek and grinned in a similar way, tilting his head a bit.
"See? I need a stick to shoo away all the admirers."

Cam was basically oblivious to the surroundings at this point, and he happily attached the unicorn bandaid to his right hand, right above the bracelets. He lifted the hnd in front of himself, grinning and wiggling his fingers.
"This is perfect! I wonder if my right hand gains the power of friendship and rainbows now."
Cam snickered a bit and made a small waving motion towards Kal, like he was casting a spell. And he took it a step further and chanted one, bursting out laughing afterwards.
"In the name of sun and sky, you will be my friend tonight. Or something like that."
A normal person would've probably felt ashamed or ridiculous. But not Cam, he was just grinning and having a good time.

It was Cam's turn to groan and snicker as Kal countered his terrible pun with one of his own. Cam facepalmed, still grinning and cringing at the same time, and looked at Kal from between his fingers.
"That was...wow. That was bad. I love it. Your puns never fail to amaze me. I suc-cumber to your superiority."
It felt a bit forced but Cam wasn't about to lose this pun battle. He kept grinning, and managed to say the word suc-cumber with a straight face. More or less. He might've pfftd a bit.
Cam attached the pickle bandaid to his left arm, on his forearm. But before he did Cam tested different positions to decide, which one of them looked the best.

Cam posed a bit and adopted a feigned smug smile as Kal revealed, that he had thought of using his picture for the bandaid.
"Such a bandaid will become a weapon of mass destruction, I'm just that gorgeous."
Cam said, but with an obvious joking tone, and tried to flip his hair. But it was in a bun, unflippable, so Cam just ended up flipping hair and laughing.
"But I like this one more. Now I have two of you."
Cam grinned. He thought to point out, that to get his picture Kal only needed to google his name and pick one of his modeling pictures. But Cam had the same thought as Kal, he wanted to take a personal picture. It had much more meaning behind it.

Cam was about to suggest they enter the den of edginess when Kal reached out his arm and touched Cam's cheek. Well, to be precise he touched the bandaid. But nevertheless Cam felt butterflies in his stomach, and his breath caught a bit. Cam looked at Kal, blinking a couple of times, and fought back the urge to touch his hand the guy quickly drew back. And as Kal chuckled a bit nervously Cam found him so unbearably cute.
However, Cam put a stop to these thoughts almost immediately. This was exactly what he had meant when talking to Shiro. There was a line, and Cam wouldn't cross it. But...
He could still admire.

Cam grinned at Kal when he made another pun, and snickered a bit. He also wanted to distract himself from the brief cheek touching moment before it was all Cam could think of.
"That will certainly give me a leg up."
Pun for a pun, friend. Cam went past Kal as he opened the front door for him, sending a small thanks to him on the way, and took a second to just take the front door in. And then he looked at the interior and the part inside him that appreciated aesthetics sighed happily. Just like Kal had said, the place was edgy as hell. But it was edgy in such a beautiful way Cam wanted to applaud.
"This place looks amazing."
Cam turned to smile happily at Kal, and there was a twinkle in his eyes. He probably looked like a child that had just found their parents' candy stash.

Cam giggled at Kal's reaction to his friendship spell and then took on a shocked expression, looking down at the hand with the unicorn bandaid with horror.
"This power is much too great for a mortal to wield. It can even erase memories. I must hide it behind seven deadly enchantments, three hellhounds and one model who has just woken up and hasn't had their coffee. That's me, by the way."
Cam grinned and waved his hand a bit.
"After we finish drinking coffee, that is."

Cam was very much aware his puns were terrible, that all their puns were terrible. But they never failed to make them laugh and that was most important for Cam, to see Kal laugh. Even now when Kal failed to keep a straight face Cam snickered, happy with the results of his awful pun.

Cam blinked innocently, when Kal voiced his suspiciouns over what Cam would've done with a bandaid if it had Cam's face on it. Cam tried to look like he had never committed a single sin in the world, as he looked at Kal shocked.
"Me? My good sir, I would never do that, don't be silly. If you had a picture of me you would steal all the attention. I can't allow that."
Cam joked and did a small pose, laughing when Kal said he had a whole box of bandaids with his face on them.
"Were you actually planning on using them? I'll take them out of your hands, I've been getting a lot of papercuts these days and having you on my fingers to heal them sounds good to me."
Cam snickered and wiggled his fingers, which actually did have healing papercuts on them.

"Don't you know those are the best kinds of candy stores?"
Cam grinned at Kal jokingly and turned back to marvel at the interior design. Cam heaved out an actual sigh of pleasure when he saw the curtains.
"You have no idea how much I love aesthetics, Kal. And this place is heaven from aesthetic point of view."
Cam chuckled and smiled happily as he made his way to the counter, following Kal. He was grateful for the distraction, but Cam could still feel his cheek tingle where Kal had touched it.
Cam wasn't in a coffee mood so he ordered a hot chocolate with a mountain of whipped cream, that was molded into a shape of a ghoul. And on top of that red sprinkles that made it look all bloody.

Cam snickered together with Kal and started even laughing a bit when he voiced his thoughts about hellhounds. Cam had never even met a hellhound but he sure as hell wanted to now that Kal put that image in his head.
"Oh, definitely. Their names are Sunshine and Cookie Monster. I'm sure they'll love you to pieces. Not literally."
Cam held back laughter but did let out a small innocent pfft and covered his mouth with his hand, shoulders shaking slightly.

Cam snickered at Kal's infomercial tone, when he joked about the bandaids with his face on them. Cam grinned and then took an amazed expression, looking at Kal with wonder.
"Wow, amazing. Can they really do all that?"
Cam was using his best informercial tone, and barely holding his face together. Cam stepped close to Kal and nudged him with his elbow, stage whispering to him.
"And now your next line is 'But that's not all folks!'"
Cam snickered, not being able to hold himself together anymore. He had noted that Kal had looked at his fingers, and also noted the concern on his face. But Kal didn't bring the cuts up, and so Cam decided not to either. Maybe later he'd explain that Cam had just been frequenting the library lately, and all that flipping through pages as fast as he could required some sacrifices.

Cam noticed many people looking at him with amusement, including the barista, who was doing a very good job adding to the athmosphere of the place. And not cracking a smile at Cam while he was grinning along with the bandaid on his cheek was very impressive. Cam did not mind in the slightest. In fact, he embraced the sillyness as he embraced most things. Cam imagined himself on a catwalk as they walked over to the table with their cool(appearance wise, as they were in actuality hot drinks) drinks and Cam turned his head to smile and wink at a guy in the nearest table, obviously sneering and making fun of Cam. Cam's wink seemed to catch the guy off guard and he stopped looking, which made Cam grin as he sat down on the table.

Kal's joke made Cam pfft again and he sent a lopsided smile at the guy, glancing at his fog coffee.
"Your coffee doesn't look that good to me either but I'm sure it's just mist-understood. Don't fog-get, you shouldn't judge a book by it's cup-ver."
Cam dropped triple puns at Kal and snickered away, smiling mischievously at him.
"Serious for a second though, it was nice of you to pay for the drinks. But I will pay you back. Or buy you something of equal value."
Cam blew on his ghoul cocoa and sipped it, sighing a bit. It tasted so good, and the red sprinkles added a small tonge of strawberry flavour that played right along with the dark chocolate used in the cocoa.

Cam chuckled a bit at Kal's face getting shrouded in fog and kept sipping his own drink, looking around the place now with more of a keen eye and even making notes of what he would've changed.
"This place is amazing, not just the obvious edge but the dignity and how they are loyal to their theme, it amazes me. The interior design and lining of the furniture is both ergonomic and-, wait, okay, I see what I'm doing. I'm babbling."
Cam grinned, there was some hot chocolate foam on his upper lip he absently licked away.
"I'm a nut about aesthetic and interior design. I'm sure it comes from my mother, she is even worse. We once spent an entire week trying to decide the placement of the furniture in my room. Best bonding ever."
Cam chuckled, remembering how he and his mother had actually yelled at each other over whether the wardrobe should face the window or the bed.
