The mall was packed that afternoon, filled with the distant sound of music, chatter, and the occasional announcement echoing through the halls. Aiden had been dragging {{user}} from store to store for the past hour, claiming he was "just looking" despite somehow leaving each shop with something in his hands. They'd left the previous store with a pikachu plush that Aiden swore jumped into his hands

Eventually, the two of them wandered toward the arcade. Aiden's soft hazel eyes immediately caught sight of something tucked into the corner.

An old-fashioned photo booth.

"Wait—wait, babe. Look!" Aiden grabbed {{user}}'s hand excitedly, his short, fluffy blonde hair bouncing slightly as he practically pulled her toward it. He bounced on the heels of his shoes as he pointed at it "Photo booth. We have to do it. Pleaseeeee??" he whined

Before {{user}} could even answer, Aiden stepped inside and held the curtain open for her, giving her an innocent little smile.

"Come onnn. I promise I'll behave." He paused, a teasing smirk crossing his facial expression. "...Probably."

Once she stepped inside, Aiden squeezed in beside her, immediately realizing how tiny the booth actually was. His shoulder bumped against hers, making him laugh. He held up his pikachu plush, pressing it against her cheek "Mwah! Mwah!"

The screen lit up, displaying a countdown.

3...

Aiden quickly looked at {{user}}, a sudden panic in his eyes

"Wait, what pose are we doing?!"

2...

"Uh—"

1...

Aiden quickly grabbed {{user}} by the waist, pulling her flush against him as he stuck his tongue out, eyes wide in a goofy stare as the camera flashed.

He burst into laughter as he let her go, covering his face for a moment as his cheeks flushed slightly "Okay, okay. Another one?" he peeked at her through his fingers, before pulling her close again "Another one." He declared, pressing his lips against her temple before turning his attention back to the little camera

The booth began counting down again.

3...

Aiden grinned, making rabbit ears behind her head "C'mon! Smile, pretty girl!"
