A quick, Sparia one-shot prompt I decided to do. What happens when Mike asks Aria to pick something up for him during a quick store hop?

Saturday: Corner Store

Italics means thoughts, emphasized word or action. Bolded is a flashback. (….) is an indication that time has passed.

Picking Mike up from a late movie with his friends, Aria pulls her grey 2012 Nissan Altima into an open parking space at their local Walgreens to pick up something before they head home. Aria puts the car into park and turns to look at Mike who is sitting in the passenger, on his phone.

"Do you want anything while I'm in there?"

"Uh, yeah. A pack of red bulls and some twizzlers would be good." Mike responds to Aria's request.

Aria nods her head as she takes the keys out of the ignition and opens her car door to leave,

With a foot out the car, Mike calls out the brunette's name. "Aria."

She leans back inside the car and looks to him.

"Yeah?"

"I-I need you to get something else for me…" Mike shifts uncomfortably in his seat as he lays his phone down on his leg.

"What's up?" Aria asks, not catching on to Mike's uneasiness.

"…I need you to get me….a box."

"A box of what?" Aria questions with an eyebrow raised. A split second later it hits her. "Mike, are you smoking?" She quickly asks as she shuts her car door.

"Nonono!" Mike re-positions himself in his chair, waving his hands, dismissing Aria's misread of what he means. "I need a box…of-of condoms…"

Aria's eyes widen in shock, "Condoms?! What do you need condoms for?"

"Well, you use them when you-"

"I know what you use them for, Mike!" Aria closes her eyes as she waves her hand to stop him from talking. "I mean why do you need them? Who are you using them with?" Aria looks up and down at her brother in full inspection mode.

"…Mona…" Mike lets the name escape his mouth slowly as he looks away from Aria's intense staring.

"Moooona?" Aria drags out her name as she crosses her arms. "Since when have you and Mona been active?"

"I don't know, mom." Mike mocks, irritated by Aria's sudden game of 21 questions.

"You don't kno-Ok. If you want them, come and buy them yourself." Aria opens her car door and proceeds to get out.

"Aria, wait!" Mike calls out, making Aria stop midway leaving. "Can you please get them for me?" Mike now begs, "I can't go in there. What if the cashier looks at me weird?"

"Oh, like they won't look at me weird." Aria points at herself. "It's better for a guy to buy a box of condoms rather than a girl buying them. You guys are supposed to do that so it'll look normal. Let's go." Aria gets out of the car and stands by the car door.

"Let's go!" She gestures Mike out of the car.

"Aria, please." Mike pleads as he continues to stay seated. "I hardly ask you for anything." He immediately reaches inside his back pocket and pulls out his wallet. He skims over his bills until he finds a twenty. "Here." He hands Aria the $20 bill, "If they ask you, just tell them it's for your brother in the car."

Aria reluctantly takes the bill with a sigh and rolled eyes. "I don't even wanna ask you this question…"

"What question?" Mike looks at his sister as he lifts his body up, shoving his wallet back into his back pocket.

"You know what question."

"No seriously, I don't." Mike furs his eyebrows in confusion.

"The size, Mike. The size." Aria says as she annoyingly looks out into the parking lot, hating every bit of this conversation.

"Uhmmm…." Mike ponders for a second, "…I don't know."

Aria shoots a look at Mike as she leans her head inside the car, "What do you mean you don't know?"

Mike shrugs, "I don't know! Maybe a medium?"

Aria closes her eyes and hangs her head, "You so owe me for this." She goes to close the door before Mike calls out her name again.

"What else do you want from me?" Aria asks bothered. "You want me to buy you the lube too?" She sarcastically questions.

"…Do you think we would need that?" Mike, going to ask a different question but now thinking about a new product he might need.

"I'm not doing this - I'm sooo not doing this." Aria puts her hands up in surrender mode. "Where's the white flag because I'm going to throw it at you."

"I was just going to ask if you can grab a certain kind. I heard the guys talking about one called 'Durex Sensation'? They were talking about it and they say it's really good."

"Well, don't you have the guys come and buy for you if they know about it so well?" Aria crankily reacts. Mike opens his mouth but Aria stops him. "I'll be back." She groans as she shuts the car door.

You've got to be kidding me, right now.

With a shopping basket filled with Red Bull, Twizzlers, and Ben Jerry's Ice Cream hanging off the crease of her left arm, Aria skims the condom section of the 'Personal Care' aisle.

Durex Sensation…Durex Sensation…Durex Sensation… Aria searches for the product. She finds it but only in large and XL. She makes a face as she continues to look. After a few moments, there was no prevail.

Either, I buy a large and he's just gonna have to work with it or I find something else, Aria debates in her head. I'll buy something else. I'm not going to be responsible for any mishaps that happens.

Searching through the mediums, Aria pulls out a box.

Durex Extra Safe…Yeah. This sounds like the perfect one he needs, she thinks as she reads over the box.

"For those who want peace of mind knowing the condom they're using is safe." Aria mutters to herself. "Yep. This is fine." She opens the lid of the box to check inside before she turns on her heels and walks towards checkout.

Holding the box in one hand and scrolling through her phone in the other, Aria quickly turns the corner of the aisle and bumps into another customer walking in. The sudden collision causes the 'not so closed all the way' Extra Safe condom box to fly out of Aria's hand and into the air, causing 12 greyish-blue packets to rain all over the two.

OH MY GOD!

In total mortification, Aria quickly kneels to the floor to pick up all the packets as fast as she could. The other girl Aria ran into bends down to help the struggling brunette pick up her belongings. She picks up a few before handing them to Aria who's putting them back inside the box in a frantic hurry. She stands up and shoves her hands into her jacket.

"Red bull, twizzlers, ice cream and extra safe condoms." Spencer observes, "Planning a great night tonight, huh?" Spencer teases as Aria rises to her feet.

Aria looks up at Spencer in complete embarrassment, "Uh-uhm, No. Nonono, these are for my brother. He-he's waiting inside the car." Aria stutters as she tries to convey to shopping arrangements to the girl in front of her.

"I-I wouldn't use these." Aria says as she puts the box into the basket.

"You don't use condoms?" Spencer raises a eyebrow.

"No! Not that I don't use them. More like I don't like them." Aria shuts her eyes immediately after the words leave her mouth and cringes as she knows that nothing she is saying sounds right.

"So you don't like condoms." Spencer says as she confirms the smaller brunette's statement.

"Nono. I-" Aria leans into Spencer and whispers, "If you have anything sharp on you, could you just like…stab me in the heart so I could die?"

Spencer laughs at the humiliation Aria was facing before her. Aria turns her head away as she sways to the side.

"You laughing at me is so not helping. If anything, it's making it worse."

Spencer's laughter dies down into a soft smile. "I'm not laughing at you. I find you adorable, actually."

Aria glances back at Spencer, confused if she heard the taller brunette correctly.

"Me?"

"Yeah. That was kind of cute." Spencer gives a genuine closed mouth smile.

A slow curve of Aria's lips makes its way onto her face as she tucks in a strand of hair behind her ear, looking down at the floor.

"Thanks..."

Aria opens the driver's side door and throws the shopping bag at Mike as she enters the car.

"Whoa!" Mike yells out as he catches the bag that was hurled at him.

"I'm never doing that again," Aria starts the ignition with a huff.

"Why? What happened?" he asks as he checks inside the bag to see what she purchased.

"I embarrassed myself in there."

"How?" Mike asks pryingly, "Did someone say something to you?" he starts to get defensive as he shifts in his chair, facing Aria.

"I'm not laughing at you. I find you adorable, actually..."

That sentence replays in Aria's head like a scratched record as she leans over her seat to face behind her, backing out of her parking space. When fully out, she faces the front and changes gears.

"No…" She slowly lets out before she turns to her brother, "But next time, if you want anything remotely in that category or anything that could embarrass me, get it yourself."
