Grocery Hell
For: Valentine'sNinja
and
Amaranta
Great. Since when did I become Tifa's shopping buddy?
Well... technically it's grocery shopping, but still! How did I get dragged into this? Oh yeah, I told Tifa I would do anything for her. Sigh.
"Cloud, do you think we need some mushrooms?" Tifa asked me, taking her time in looking at every single packaged box of mushrooms.
I shrugged. "I don't know."
Tifa frowned, but didn't take her eyes off of the fungi. "Maybe I can add them into tonight's dinner. What do you think?"
I shrugged again. "I don't know."
She grimaced and gave me an evil eye. "You could be a little more helpful you know."
"Sorry." I said, rubbing the back of my head. I guess I could be a bit more helpful. Tifa threw the mushrooms in the cart and we continued down the isle. Tifa grabbed two boxes of cereal, 'Chocob-O's' and 'TonBerries', and studied each of them thoroughly.
"Marlene likes TonBerries, but Denzel and Yuffie like Chocob-O's. I'm stuck on choosing." She said, looking at me expectantly.
"Get both then." I answered, getting her to smile in agreement and toss them in the cart.
After about two more hours, we were finally paying for the food. Wait a second; Is that cashier checking out Tifa? Fucker.
"Wow, you've got quite a load here." The guy said, smiling widely, ignoring me and getting Tifa to laugh. Was she totally oblivious to the way he was practically undressing her with his eyes?
"I hope it won't be too expensive." She said smiling.
The guy smirked. "How 'bout a discount in exchange for a dinner?"
I almost wanted chuck up my lunch.
Tifa giggled. When the hell does she ever giggle? And... is that a blush on her cheeks!? I scowled.
"I'm flattered, but I really have too much to handle." She answered, getting my chest to fill with a bit of relief.
The guy ran a hand through his auburn locks. "I can take some stress away.. if you're willing."
Piss off moron. She doesn't want to date you.
"That really is so kind of you, but I won't even have time to find a babysitter for our children." Tifa said, putting her hand on my shoulder. Pride erupted throughout my entire body and a sort of pleasantness overcame me at the mentioning of 'our' children.
The man looked at me as if he had just seen me for the first time. "Your guys' children?" The emphasizing wasn't missed.
"Yeah," I answered, crossing my arms. "Our kids."
The guys stance became nervous under my gaze.
He rang up the last item and bagged it, while putting it in the cart. "Well," He cleared his throat uncomfortably. "That'll be 167 gil."
I smirked. Yeah, watch where your eyes travel bub.
He coughed again, when he looked up to see that my eyes were still focused on him. "Have a nice day." He said.
Tifa smiled back at him and pushed our cart outside.
"If I had known you would freak out Ned I probably wouldn't have asked you to come." Tifa said, looking at me with a frown on her face.
I frowned as well. "Ned? You know his name?"
Tifa rolled her eyes and put the bags in the truck. "His name tag Cloud."
I felt heat rush in my cheeks. "Oh."
She chuckled and we climbed in the seats. "You are so cute when you're jealous."
"I was not jealous." I grumbled.
She laughed loudly, and it sounded melodious to my ears. I really loved her laugh.
"Holy Leviathan Cloud! I was kidding, but you really were jealous!" She glanced at me, then back to the road. "Did you honestly think I was going to go out with that guy?"
My frown deepened and I tried to make my face emotionless. This only made her chuckle more.
"You know I only save my dates for you, Cloudy." She snickered.
I blushed and narrowed my eyes at the nickname. "We haven't been on a date." I said.
She looked at me slyly, causing my palms to sweat and my heart beat quicken. "Maybe you should ask me then. I mean, we've already passed being more than friends and kissed. You might want to hurry or I just might take up Nat's offer."
"His name is Ned." I corrected.
"Whatever."
I suppressed a smile. "Hmm... maybe you're right."
She looked at me curiously.
I grabbed her hand. "Are you free Saturday?"
Yay for fluff! No flaming!
