A/N: Incredible but true. I'm succeeding to update something. It's been a fire week (and it still has to end), I'm glad I updated at least one of my pending stories.

Shopping

"What are we doing this for?" Mathias sighed, putting several plastic bags on a bench. On the other hand, Lars was scratching something down on a notebook, not giving him the least attention.

"I forgot the eggs. We need to go back to the grocery in the square'"

"What?" exclaimed Mathias, glaring at his mate "It's at the opposite side of the city!"

"Other side of the city. It's just five hundred meters" answered Lars simply.

Five hundred meters for five hundred meters, the walked all around Amsterdam.

Mathias couldn't believe when his feet were finally laid on the soft sofa arm, he felt like he didn't have legs anymore. He looked as Lars put the receipts in order inside a notebook. The reason for this gesture always unknown, it could be understandable if it was for bills or insurances, but why would he keep the cookies receipt? It was crazy.

The mystery was solved when, one week later, Mathias noticed the eggs were over. Too lazy to reach the city center, he went to the grocery near their house.

When he came back there was Lars waiting for him at the door, arms crossed over his chest and a venom glare on his face "You-" he growled "Show me the receipt!"

Mathias rummaged inside his pockets and checked his wallet with no result "I guess I lost it. It must have fallen somewhere. By the way, the price was something like one euro and a half, cent less, cent more"

Lars face-palmed, snorting "You really are a bad money keeper, you know? You always have to keep account of your payments, what if you suddenly run out of money?" Mathias was snickering, trying to hold back a laughter. Lars turned around, going back inside "One euro and a half. In the supermarket one kilometer away from here they sold it at ninety cent…you stupid piece of a troglodyte…." Mathias put the shopping bag down "You're telling me that the marathon we have around the city every single fucking time is for you to save some coins?"

"Of course. Saving money is crucial"

"Okay, since also keeping my tendons healthy is crucial, from now on you're going shopping alone!"
