M is for "Married"
He hated going to the grocery store. Not because Tohru would go off on her own sometimes (he walked too slow for her taste, so she would shop alone), but because all the women would swarm him. He always made it a point to always have his left hand out toward the aisle. It usually made them go away.
But sometimes, they never noticed. Like the woman standing next to him. "Hi there," she said to him. He knew where this was going, but he wanted to see if she just wanted to talk.
"Hello. Is there something I can help you with?" He tried being as friendly as possible, but she rubbed against his body. It was like this every time.
"If you'd want to go on a date, yeah, that's something you can help me with," he sighed.
"I'm flattered, but I am married," he noticed the woman look down at his hand and frown.
"Shame, I could be a much better wife than the one you have," and away she went. He sighed. I doubt that, he thought to himself. He felt someone bump against him again, and he gripped the cart with his hands.
"Ma'am, I'm terribly sorry, but I am married," he turned to face the person. She was smiling.
"I know that, silly. You married me!" Tohru just glowed and he sighed in relief, chuckling at her comment. She put some of the items from her basket into her cart. "Another one?" He nodded.
"They don't know when to quit," she went back to his side, basket in her arm.
"I don't blame them," she remarked. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and continued to walk, shopping together. She still hated his snail-like pace, but she wanted him all to herself.
It worked.
