"You know it really isn't good to spoil me like you do, don't you?" she grinned at him as she wrapped her arms around his middle. "You keep doing it and I'm bound to become dependent and reliant on your spoiling."
No, she didn't really think she'd ever get to be too bad, but she was sure to become much too used to him doing it sooner or later. On the other hand, she really did like it, especially since she saw it as a way of him paying mind to things about her and treating her special. The bears was one thing, and now letting her have choice of dessert without what seemed a second thought as well as constantly letting her take up space on his back, she really liked it.

"All part of my devious plan," Drew answered, confident that she would know he was teasing. "See, if you become dependent on it, then the chances of you breaking up with me are greatly reduced."
The truth was, he liked spoiling her, feeling like it was the best way he knew to let her know how special she was to him. And the fact that it got her to smile or giggle or kiss him or put her arms around him... well that just made it all the better.

"The chances of that happening were pretty low this morning," she teased back. Of course, she couldn't have broken up with him if he didn't ask her, so, this morning there wasn't any chance of it happening. "Then again, chances are still pretty low right now."
Fact of the matter was, she wasn't about to break up with him at any point in time in the near future. Felicity liked him, end of story for the time being. And with the way he treated her at the moment, as well as how he tried to be careful with her, she didn't see it happening, not soon anyway. No, she didn't expect him to remain her boyfriend forever, that was something her female relatives had made very clear to her starting at the age of twelve, when boys started coming around a bit more often to stick around for more than just playing a round of some sport or other. And, really, Felicity knew it wasn't plausible to believe it'd last forever, though she didn't really think she'd mind if it did.
"So, are there any other parts to your devious plan I should know about?" she inquired, thinking that she should at least be in on a bit of it, that way nothing would be too unexpected.

"Good. Then it's already working!" Drew answered with a wide grin. He found this all to be a strange situation. No, he wasn't expecting to stay with Felicity forever, but neither was he expecting to break up with her. There were no expectations other than enjoy it as it happened and see where it went. It was kind of nice, not having the pressure of one or the other.
"No, I think that's pretty much it," he told her, finding it hard to even pretend there was more to his made up devious plan.

"Well, I suppose since I know what your plan consists of, I can easily avoid messing it up now," she returned in playful banter. A plan of course had to have room for messes, and it had to have room just in general to move about as it was. Being Drew, he was bound to have some kind of movement in his devious plan, but even then, his plan had to have a better name than just the devious plan. "Or it means I can easily mess with it."
With a grin, she turned her attention to the crowd in front of her. It really would be easy to mess with it, though she was sure it wasn't something she really wanted to do. And she wouldn't do it either. "Do you have a better name for it? The plan I mean. You know, something like Code...something or other. Because 'Devious Plan' just isn't working for me."

The official name was, of course, Get Felicity to Fall in Love with Drew, a title so incredibly top secret that even Drew himself had only realized it that very second. He wasn't sure he was ready to share that bit with her yet.
If it had been a real devious plan, it would have a cool code name though... secretive and slightly seductive, possibly an acronymn that spelled something cool. Then again, this plan wasn't really all that devious so maybe it didn't need to have an extremely devious sounding name.
While a number of thoughts had run through his head, the final decision came relatively quickly. "Project Buttercup," he answered with a wide grin, thinking that covered just about everything including the plan's true name.

"I like that one," she smiled back at him. The references made to one of her favourite movies was something she enjoyed, even if she didn't see herself as being mean to a farm boy or in any point in time in the future being set to marry a Prince, at least not a true one, and she definitely was not a Princess.
"Does that make your codename Westley?" she inquired, liking that idea quite a bit. He really was like something out of a story book to her, especially with how he treated her so kindly. "Because I like that, too."
One more customer and they'd be at the counter, and she was quite happy about that bit as well. But, she was more interested and intrigued with his plan than dessert at the moment, not to mention she knew they'd have to get going as soon as they were set for her to be home on time.

The biggest problem was that when it came down to it, Drew didn't think he was much like Westley at all. Even as a farm boy, the guy hadn't said stupid things or gotten into a predicament he couldn't talk his way out of. The guy could overtake a castle with a wheelbarrow and a holocast cloak, all while being mostly dead. How cool was that?
"It's either that or Humperdink and I think I like Westley better," Drew answered with another broad smile, figuring both guys would have had a Project Buttercup. Of course, Drew's intentions were much closer to Westley's in the long run. The Ravenclaw really wasn't planning on starting an international war through kidnap and murder. At least not in the near future.

"I prefer Westley," she admitted to him, though it wasn't really her choice as it was his plan, not hers. "I mean, you haven't done anything evil nor have you tried to have me offed. Plus, Westley's a lot nicer looking."
Actually, the blonde wan't sure she even knew someone that could be called a Humperdink, no one she knew was really that horrible. On the other hand, there had to have been someone who would fit the title at some point in time...though she really hoped not.
Giving him a quick squeeze as the people in front of them finished off their purchase, she released him so he could talk more properly to the people behind the counter. The conversation would continue at some point, she was sure of it.

"I'll need to grow my mustache back," Drew answered as if it were really just that simple. It had been neat to have on Halloween, but kind of tough to actually get on his upper lip. It wasn't something he planned on doing on a regular basis.
Their turn had come and Drew grinned at the lady behind the counter as he pointed out the chocolate and cherry concoction that Felicity had picked out. He felt it was a good choice and exactly what he would have decided on considering strawberries were out of season and no where to be seen. The lady smiled back at them and took the order in the back to wrap it up.
"Anything else?" Drew asked Felicity, thinking he might have the woman throw in a couple of molassas cookies for good measure.

"I'm sure Westley shaved at some point or other in his life," she teased him. Really, while he looked nice with the mustache, it'd tickled her when he'd kissed her with it, and that was the entire night it seemed, and she'd really liked that night. "And you look nice without it anyway. It really isn't necessary to have one to use his name as code, I'm sure of it."
Shaking her blonde head, she grinned up at him. One thing for dessert was quite good enough for her, with how much he'd already spent on her and was going to with dessert, she really didn't need anything else.
"I'm set with that, promise," she answered with a small smile and rewrapping her arms around him while she waited for the lady to return. "Thank you for spoiling me." Her smile widened as she snuggled into him tightly for a moment before dropping her arms from around him when the lady re-appeared.

"Can we get a dozen of those cookies too?" Drew asked the lady, pointing out the ones he wanted. If nothing else, he could take them home to share with Allegra and Shay. If he had a preference of cookie, it would be chocolate chip, but they already had a bit of chocolate and the molasses seemed to fit the season.
"He didn't have it as a farm boy," Drew pointed out and he had seen the actor in a number of other things without the 'stache. Still, Drew thought it looked pretty impressive. And the mask, but he couldn't very well go around with one of those. Hiro managed to make it work, but Drew was sure he'd never pull it off.
"I told you, it's all part of my plan," Drew answered as he paid the woman and took the packages. A few sickles from his pocket was nothing compared to the snuggling he got in return.

"That's true," she answered. As the farm boy he hadn't had the mustache, but then, he'd also just been the farm boy and Westley, the Dread Pirate wasn't even a thought. However, it didn't really matter, Buttercup had liked him all the same, no matter who he'd been to her. And even when she believed he was no longer alive, she was still in love with him, completely devoted to him, even if she was being forced into a marriage she didn't want.
"Well, you're plan has been planned out quite well," she giggled as she grabbed his hand and flashed an appreciative smile to the lady behind the counter. "The only thing wrong with it, is that you do it too much. Spoiling isn't something that should be done all of the time, otherwise the one being spoiled is bound to get too used to it and forget to appreciate it happening as well as the person doing the spoiling."
Growing up with the family she had, spoiling was rare from her parents, particular care had taken place, especially as she was the youngest and most of her siblings had moved out early in her life. The spoiling she'd received had come from her Aunts and Uncles and siblings, on occasion, but even less than that from her parents.

He took the bakery boxes in one hand and wrapped the other arm around Felicity's waist, letting go of her just long enough to open the door to the street and let her out.
"But today's kind of a special occasion, right?" Drew answered, knowing he couldn't spoil her like this every day. There was just no opportunity to treat her to lavish gifts and rich desserts on a regular basis. He could and would probably still provide piggy-backs, but it wasn't like he was planning on carting her to every class that way once they were back at school.
Actually... that might be kind of fun...

"Mmhmm," she hummed in response. It was kind of a special occasion, after all, it was their first 'real' date; not their first, but a first of a particular kind. And, he'd asked her to be his girlfriend, which was of course something else that was pretty special. However, even with just those factors, it was still pretty special because she was with him. There wasn't any more reason needed to be added in her mind; he was reason enough. "I would say it's pretty special, and not even just because of any particular reason, other than I'm spending time with you."
Leaning into him as he wrapped his arm around her, easily she let her arms find their way back around him. It was a short walk back to her home, and once they got there, she doubted she'd be able to be in such close contact with him, and she was going to make the most of it while she could.
"'Bout how much time do we have?" she asked, curious.
