Giving Up Meat
~Day 1 – Shopping~
Pushing the trolley around the supermarket like a puppy lost in a big city, Tyson couldn't believe how limited his spending spree really was. He felt so uncomfortable picking up foods to check if they were suitable for vegetarians, especially when it took him a good 20 minutes to find the tiny black ink on the packaging.
"Urgh, is it suitable for me or not!?" The Japanese male groaned out loud. He was losing his patients. "They're just flavoured noodles!"
Kai on the other hand had plans of his own. He was carrying a basket full of nutritious vegetables.
But just like Kai had predicted; Tyson had painfully walked past the most obvious isle that would catch any vegetarians attention – the fruit n veg section. 'Surely, that's where all vegetarians would head first!'
"I cannot believe this." Tyson huffed as he placed the packet of noodles back on to the shelf, "Everything either has some form of meat in it or I don't like it!"
Taking a second to glance around him, Tyson suddenly realised that Kai wasn't nearby and this worried him slightly. 'How long had that sour-puss been missing?' - He questioned to himself before walking around the store to find his captain.
Sliding up and down the isles with his trolley, Tyson giggled like a child. He was trying to make this awkward experience a positive one. But no matter what isle he would pass, Tyson couldn't help but notice how his mouth would water whenever he saw all the scrumptious foods that were only a purchase away; stake and kidney pies, bacon quiches, pepperoni pizza's and chicken wings.
Dammnit!~
Eventually he spotted a familiar figure picking up a handful of asparagus. It was an expensive vegetable, yet everyone always boasted about how good it does taste. Asparagus was a very nutritious green that gained many benefits to the health.
'I personally think it looks more appetizing next to a piece of stake... Urgh!' - The Dragoon wielder walked over to the Russian and frowned at how full Kai's basket was compared to his enormous trolley.
Tyson pretty much had nothing in his trolley. The only thing he picked up from the shelves was a loaf of brown bread, and that was because Grandpa had told him too.
Tragic~
"Y'know, as I look around this shop, I can't believe how much meat is actually on display to us." He commented in a honest tone. He then watched Kai's focused expression rise up to meet his. "I'm really struggling to put a meal together right now. All I can think of is jam on toast and even that is boring as hell."
The captain wasn't an inch surprised with what he was hearing, Kai knew this was going to happen. So he just let all the complaining go through one ear and out the other. He was tired of getting annoyed with Tyson. Instead Kai just changed the subject and held the asparagus up to Tyson's warm face.
"Asparagus?" Tyson blinked, "What about it?"
"It goes well in a soup." Kai calmly spoke as he placed the veg into his basket.
"Soup?" The Japanese male repeated with his pupils narrowing, "Kai, I am not having a soup for dinner. That is just a warm drink. If I wanted a warm drink, I'd have a cup of tea, hot coco or a coffee..."
"Jam on toast and a cup of English tea. Your menu is doing well."
"Haha, very funny." Tyson twitched. He then lowered his brown eyes to look at the contents dangling on Kai's muscular arm. "Besides, I heard that asparagus stuff makes your wee smell funny. So I ain't sure if I want to eat that." He added, feeling a little to proud to admit that he was beginning to regret this 'experience.'
Within the healthy basket, it also featured items that Tyson hadn't even thought about. These foods were: eggs, chips, pasta, sauces, fruit juices, flavored water, rice, pizza bases, and then there was the Quorn. Oh yes, Quorn pork sausages, Quorn mince meat and Quorn chicken fillets.
It was the fake meat that every carnivore eater couldn't stand, especially when the brand had named their products with the substances from the slaughtered animals (pork, meat, chicken). It was such a contradiction!
Tyson grunted and slapped his forehead, "Oh you have got to be kidding me."
"Tyson, you are cooking dinner tonight." Kai changed the topic again, He was preventing himself from taring his rival's head clean off. "And I expect it to be unique too."
'I didn't realise I was suddenly a food chef cooking for a food critic.' - He thought to himself with a hint of sarcasm developing in his tongue. "Sure, I will blow you away with my cooking skills. Just don't get all 'competitive' on me now." Tyson winked, hiding his insecurity with his confidence.
'Once again, his ego has taken his brain as hostage.' – Kai concluded before turning his back to his teammate to head up to the bakery isle. He didn't really know what to say to his companion anymore, but Kai was so focused on this making this goal a reality. He wanted to make this lent an unforgettable one.
