Chapter Text
Santa walked into the small pharmacy store, willing himself not to be embarrassed. He could do this. He had to do this. After all a dare is a dare. But damn the whole world and his luck because the store just happened to be empty on the one day he agreed to do a dare
Damn you too, Junior
Santa nervously bounced on his feet as he neared the counter and called out to the guy who was arranging medicines on the shelf "Excuse me"
Perth turned around with a smile, ready to greet the customer "Hi. What can I get you?"
Santa almost forgot to breathe when he saw how insanely handsome the man was with his dark piercing brown eyes and killing looks. He was like everything a guy wanted, especially him and he wished to....
"I'll have to interrupt your personal window shopping since I don't charge for it" Perth grinned at the cute boy. At least he got a chance to see one good face before heading back to his house
Santa cleared his throat, running a tongue on his dry lips "Umm..do you.. I mean not you... does your store have... ah.. you know...that thing..."
Perth raised an eyebrow "That thing?"
Santa choked on his saliva and managed to whisper "The.. the protection?"
Perth hummed knowing exactly what the boy wanted "You mean condoms"
"Yeah.. that too" Santa's voice cracked, as he turned a deep shade of red
A coy smile played on Perth's lips "Sure, which flavour?"
"Anything will do"
"Anything?"
Santa nodded not trusting his voice or else he would surely make a fool out of himself. How in the freaking world could he say to the ridiculously hot stranger that he never had sex before in his life because he was waiting for Mr Perfect. His mouth went dry when he saw Perth place two boxes of Durex Intimate Feel "Umm.. I....I kinda need more"
Perth gave a questioning look but still pulled out another three packets "There you are. All different flavours and.."
"More please?" Santa started tapping his fingers on the counter as he again licked his lips. It was around the tenth packet, he heard a snicker from the man and dared to look up
Perth was actually grinning at him "Is that all or..?"
"More please" Santa repeated chewing on his lower lip.
Perth placed another five packets on the counter rising the count to fifteen. He was slightly taken back by the not-satisfied look on Santa's face "Let me guess...more please?" he parroted back
Santa's face couldn't get any redder as he spoke softly "Last five...I swear"
Perth nodded, doing the final count "Twenty it is! So do you have a boyfriend? I mean who's the lucky guy"
"Huh?" Santa blinked innocently as if he had no idea what the question meant
Perth motioned at the pile of condom packets "From this it looks like... anyways...Sorry it's none of my business. I was just..."
"NO! I mean..." Santa sighed rubbing at the back of his head. To hell with Junior's dare. There was no way he was going to let this man think he was some kind of sex addict "The truth is.. this was a stupid dare. My best friend and I were was playing this truth or dare game and he dared me to buy twenty condoms and also I shouldn't reveal it's a dare"
Perth smiled "I kinda guessed it"
"You did?"
"Well you have purchased all different sizes" Perth explained with a small laugh "Unless you're dating a mutant"
Santa pulled his tongue out "Ha Ha...very funny. For your kind information I don't have a boyfriend or ever had sex before..hell I don't even know how to use a condom or..." his eyes went comically wide, realising how he spilled his sexual secrets to a complete stranger
Perth smirked "Really now?
Santa thought he was going to faint due to the epic amount of blood rush on his face "Could you please make the bill and forget what I said...also be kind not to tell my friend that you knew about the dare"
"Hmm.." Perth hummed and leaned closer towards Santa "How about we discuss that tomorrow night over dinner?"
"D..Dinner?"
Perth rolled his eyes "Yes, the thing we usually call food to satisfy our hunger"
"Wait a minute. Are you asking me out?"
"Yep!" said Perth as he continued bagging condoms "So? Should I consider your silence as I'm-not-interested kinda thing or...?"
"NO!" Santa squeaked out loud, blushing as he hung his head down "I mean...yeah dinner sounds good"
"Perth"
"Huh?"
"My name.. Perth Tanapon" Perth extended his hand to which Santa accepted with a shy smile "Santa Pongsapak"
"Will see you tomorrow night Santa. Come here and then we can decide on a place to go"
"Okay that would be fine. Bye" Santa waved, exiting the store and holding the bag of condoms in hand with a happy feeling blossoming in his chest. He ran towards his best friend Junior and hugged him tightly "Thank you Junior!"
Junior stood scratching his head "What did I do?"
