A/N: This is a lazy upload because it was a thing I've already written on tumblr, but I think people really liked it and I kinda liked it.

This was requested anonymously.

There are a few things Andy thinks are more boring than grocery shopping: lists, people that work at grocery stores, and people that make lists and force them to go grocery shopping. At this point it's not even Ben doing it, since April's taken his advice to heart and they actually seem to be doing that "growing up" thing with more ease, year after year.

With her, it's actually kind-of fun. It's not just dishes, since they're going to draw all over the plates in marker and learn that permanent marker doesn't taste especially great on grilled cheese. He also got, like, super sick after that and it wasn't awesome either. So, really, they both put up with it because otherwise they'll both be using the same fork and April eats super slow (and cute, of course, because her nose does this little scrunching thing and he does think that's adorable) and it's like a fun adventure they get to figure out together.

At the grocery store, it's different because it's so boring and Andy makes sure to bring it up all the time.

"Babe, can we at least go look at guitars after this or something," Andy asks, picking up the Kale cereal April picked out and grimacing.

"As long as we can stop to look at the cemetery for, like, an hour," April promises with a smile as they get to setting things on the little conveyer belt leading to the register. "Or we could go graffiti City Hall with 'April + Andy forever.'"

"Awesome," Andy nods and she chuckles.

"Or-"

"Oh, hey April!" a chipper little voice breaks into their conversation and April whips her head around to stare at the source.

Andy does too and she's a shortish girl with almost golden blonde hair, a wide toothy smile that just exudes something that tells him she's nice, and a rather long, protuberant nose. She gives April a wave, nothing more than a short spasm of her hand, and then nearly hops on her feet like there's no one else she'd rather see than April. Andy decides that this is the weirdest part of the day and not having to explain to Ben why his sheets are missing.

It was for a cape for Andy's new character.

"Hey, Rose," April sounds less clinically bored than usual when she says it. Andy only ever hears that when she talks to a select few people, so this Rose person must be awesome. "You're working at a Kroger's now?"

"Yeah, college wasn't as great for me as it was for you!" Rose says but there's no malice there. Even Andy's a little put off by her sheer joy. "I mean, I did get my degree a year before you so there is that. It just turns out that people aren't exactly looking for English Literature majors."

April gives a dark sort of laugh and Rose giggles a little. The whole atmosphere is so weird, and when Rose asks who Andy is he doesn't really register it until April speaks up.

"This is Andy," she smiles at him and then at her. "He's my husband."

"Wow, really?" Rose says with a shocked look and then laughs it off, which Andy learns is probably her way of dealing with things judging by how much she does it. "That's so cool to hear! I didn't think you were the marrying type?"

"Well, he makes me, like, really happy," April explains and it's so odd for her to say it so plainly to someone else. That's usually reserved for him, and Andy is starting to get more and more confused by the second.

"That's even better!"

By the time they've paid for everything, April says goodbye (April Ludgate saying goodbye to someone) and Andy has to ask her: "So, who's Rose?"

"A girl I dated in high school," April says with a shrug like she didn't just say she dated a girl to him.

"What? Wait, what?" Andy does a double-take at the car, putting groceries in the backseat. "Wait, babe… you dated-?"

"A girl," April nods. "So?"

"I didn't know you were a lesbian," he says nonchalantly.

"I'm not a… dude, bisexuality," April taps his chest with her fingers and he chuckles. "You know what that is, c'mon."

"I know, I was just… did you like it?" he smirks and April shakes her head when he laughs.

She gives him another playful smack on the arm before putting the milk in the backseat. "Seriously?"

"I mean-"

"Look, we dated for like a year after she stuck up for me at some bullies and she's not the worst person ever. You never asked me about my old girlfriend so it never came up," April shrugs it off again and Andy walks the cart back with the thought running in his head. Well, that and April riding in the cart as he goes faster and faster and runs it into a pile of them.

When they're back in the car, she gives him a smile but he wants to keep talking about it.

"So you like boys and girls?"

"Yep," April nods.

"That's awesome," Andy nods. "You've got so much love in you, cup-"

"No," April says, pleading for him not to use the petname that she half-loves and half wants him to never say in public or risk a serious amount of pouting, and shakes her head.

"-Cake," he finishes, giving her a lazy, eyes-drooped, grin because he knows just how much love she has in her. It's crazy to him that people think she hates everything when she so clearly loves him. And girls.

"Ugh," April rolls her eyes but there's a smile there and that's all that matters to him.

"Y'know," Andy starts, realizing something odd and familiar about Rose, "she kinda reminds me of Leslie."

April turns and gives him a vicious glare. She actually turns her whole body in the seat and stares at him the entire drive home as some sort of punishment for what he just said. So, yeah, maybe comparing her ex-girlfriend to someone who acts like April's mom wasn't the best idea (though it doesn't seem to matter later when they're having sex) but at least now Andy knows that she's got even more love in her heart than he ever knew before. Now that's pretty awesome.
