ღ — Grocery shopping, as she learns, is best done in the evening.
a) A majority of people had already done their shopping during the afternoon rush hours, so the aisles are mostly empty, b) she’s after dinner, so she (hopefully) won’t buy too much snacks, and c) well - there’s just something fun about roaming the spacious, uncrowded store in the late hours of the day.
There is, however, one important disadvantage - the shelves typically aren’t as full as during the day.
So when she reaches for the last packet of biscuits and bumps hands with someone, she whips her head to the side and stares at the man with wide eyes, an unspoken fight me.
❝ …Pardon, did you want this? ❞
Grocery shopping wasn’t exactly a task Gakupo was fully accustomed to.
Typically, he was used to others insisting upon doing his grocery shopping for him. And it wasn’t like he even truly needed groceries, but that was a story for another day.
Whenever he did do it, he always found it a bit... enjoyable. Even more so in this new environment, despite the fact that he’d decided to go later on in the evening, in an attempt to avoid crowds. He knew for a fact the afternoon was the busiest time for shopping, even if he wasn’t an expert with this sort of shopping.
Gakupo was humming softly to himself, going about his business--and then he noticed a hand bumping against his own as he reached for a pack of biscuits (the last one, to be more precise).
“Ah--” He glances down, towards a girl much shorter than he is and holding an almost challenging look in her eyes. Well, this was... something.
“Well, yes, but,” There’s a pause, as he offers an awkward smile, “I could always make do with something else, if you needed it. Biscuits aren’t the only thing that go with jelly, after all.”
