Crouching down to the felines height you slowly suck out a hand trying not to scare it away. The cat thrilled excitedly at you before eagerly rubbing along the side of your hand, a rumbling purr vibrated off of it and you could only let out a soft laugh.

"You're so cute." Cooing that out towards the cat you used your other hand to pet it's back while scratching just below it's chin. It seemed in utter bliss and you could only chuckle softly before pulling back and throwing a glance over your shoulder. Narancia was still inside so you could continue petting the cat for a while longer.

Returning your focus back to the grey feline you jumped slightly as it quickly bounded off the ground onto your shoulder. It's nails poked through your sweater a tad but it seemed as though the cat had done this before. It's paws began marching up and down along the fabric as well leading you to assume it was going to lay down.

"Oh now you're just being a little show off. You're not a parrot you know." Chiming that out the cat merely just purred in response rubbing its face along the side of yours. It's ears tickled your skin and it's tail drifted into your line of sight gently tapping your face.

An airy laugh once again left your lips at the cats antics before your eyes snapped ahead hearing someone speak, "Mi scusi signora but I believe you have my cat."

Looking over at the man your gaze trailed over his pink almost purple attire dragging your eyes up to his face. Bright turquoise eyes stared back at you, his face although having a few sharpened features remained rather soft being perfectly framed by golden blond hair styled in a few curls as well as what could be seen as a braid running down the back. The front of his suit much like Bucciarati had an open chest section in the shape of a heart.

Realizing that you hadn't said anything you ducked your head in a quick apology, "Ah sorry." Reaching back to where the cat was, you tugged it off holding the lanky animal in your arms, "Here's your cat, it's very cute by the way." Extending it out towards him, he gently took it into his own hands. "What's its name?"

Bringing the cat closer it hopped up onto the blonds shoulder much like what it had done to you. He let out a hum smiling afterwards, turquoise eyes focusing on you, "Well what is your name?" Asking that he tilted his head to the side awaiting your response.

"Oh uh it's (Y/N), and you?" Asking the question back he simply just flashed you a charming smile, he had a sort of charismatic quality to him but also seemed as though there was something up his sleeve.

"Giorno and her names (Y/N)." Gesturing to the cat along his shoulder after and announcing that it magically had your name, a slight laugh left your lips, he definitely knew what he was doing.

"How charming." Shaking your head at that and switching to a closed lipped smile, you watched Giorno flick up his sleeve checking the time on a watch.

"Well, looks like I'll be heading off now. Take care." Giving a soft wave and nodding his head the blond turned walking off, your eyes following his lean frame for a bit till he was just out of sight.

There was something in your gut telling you you'd definitely see him again. Though you weren't sure when...it felt like it'd be soon.

Lingering on the thought a bit more, your attention moved towards the sound of the store's automatic doors sliding open. Your black haired companion slipping out through them, a pair of bags gripped in hand.

"Sorry I took so long, I was trying to figure out what to get for you to try." Stating that then placing the bags down he crouched before them digging through one before raising up a can, "Also because I owe you one for giving me the rest of your drink."

Motioning for you to take the can it felt cold in your grip, the cans label was decorated in ice cubes and lemons leading you to make the assumption that whatever was inside was lemon flavoured.

"I bought some other drinks too if you don't like that one, but I think you'll like it." Standing back up and adjusting the bags so that they sat in one hand he cracked open his own drink, the bubbling and hissing noise it let out told you the drink was carbonated.

"You didn't have to." Stating that and cracking open your own can your gaze met with his own, "But thank you anyways." A smile curled onto your lips before you raised the can up to your lips taking a sip. The slight bitterness was unexpected but was quickly followed by a sweet aftertaste making the drink rather pleasant.

"So what'd I miss while I was in there?" Asking that the two of you began walking, no real destination in mind. Just walking.

"Well, you did miss a cat. A really cute one at that, it let me pet it." Humming that out and smiling softly your hair bounced with each step. You didn't really feel like mentioning the blond thinking that it wouldn't really matter that much.

"A cat! And you got to pet it?! No fair." Moving his arms through the air in an angry yet playful manner he released a huff, "I should've been faster in there, then maybe I could've pet the cat with you."

"Was it fluffy?"

"Very." Humming that out you added on, "And it's fur was so soft."

Another laugh left you upon seeing Narancia let out a groan muttering how he wanted to pet the cat and had wished he was outside with you.

"You'll be able to pet a cat another time, I'm sure of it." Insisting that you let out a chuckle at the pout still stretched out across Narancia's face, it seemed cute that something as small as petting a cat bugged him this much.

Taking another sip from your drink and letting out a hum, you could see the black haired teen peer at you through his peripheral. "Do you like it?" Referring to the drink in your hand he waited for a response.

"It's pretty good. Bitter at first but I kinda like it." Stating that and holding the can out before you, you could see him nod smiling softly. He was happy that you had liked the drink, seeing as there were so many flavours he had difficulty picking which one to grab.

"That's good then, because there were so many flavours I had a hard time picking one that you'd like." Rubbing the back of his neck he bounced a bit with each step, a comforting silence followed afterwards as the two of you continued on your stroll.

One thing you enjoyed about being with Narancia was that there never was a dull moment, he was always so full of energy and took a but longer to process things, but that's what made conversations so interesting.

"So, you think Mista realized he had marker all over his face and googly eyes on his hat or..." Trailing off while asking that your eyes focused ahead.

"Maybe. Maybe not." Shrugging his shoulders the teen gave a grin, "He probably noticed right as soon as he went to the bathroom. Has probably been scrubbing at it for the past hour."

Laughing at that you shook your head, he certainty was something.

"We should go out again sometime. I can show you around town some more." Hearing Narancia say that you gave a nod smiling.

"Sounds good to me."
