Hi everyone! I whipped this up in roughly twenty minutes, so it sucks. At least I can finally move on from this one...I hate shopping scenes D:
"I'm pretty sure the recipe called for this brand," Cole starts, examining a box of chocolate.
"I don't think it matters, though!" Nya cries, "I think dark chocolate would taste better anyway."
Cole shakes his head. "It's too bitter for my liking!"
"Fine. Then..." Nya plucks a different box from the shelf, "how about semi-sweet?"
"Alright," he compromises, placing the bag of chocolate inside the cart.
"Cool. Now that that's finally sorted out..." She sighs heavily, dropping the bag in the cart, then pulling the grocery list out of her pocket.
"Zane wants ingredients for a recipe, Kai wants more junk food, same with Jay, Sensei requested tea and Lloyd wants candy. Figures."
"Let's start with Zane. What's he making?" Cole asks, trying to peek over her shoulder. She jerks away, turning so he can't see the list.
"Stop! You know I don't like it when people read over my shoulder!" she admonishes, cutting him off before he can say anything more. "Zane's cooking spaghetti salad with tomatoes, feta, and pesto sauce."
"Ooooh, a Mediterranean-inspired dish!" gushes Cole.
Nya can already taste the perfection Zane was bound to whip up. "I'm so excited!"
Cole catches onto her dreamy expression and raises an eyebrow. "I guarantee that I can make it better than him!"
Nya rolls her eyes, not even othering to hide it. "Sweetie, I don't think so."
As much as she hated to admit it, he was so cute when he was like this: his cheeks slightly puffed out, lips pulled into a pout, eyes shimmering with defiance. "C'mon, babe! Aren'tcha gonna support me?"
"Yes, but we need to finish this up first," she turns back to the list.
"It's not fair that Zane's food could turn you against me so fast, you meanieeeee!" Cole whined pathetically.
"Life's not fair. And I'm not against you!" Nya exclaims.
"Yes you are! I saw the way that you thought about his food!"
"Shut up!" she replied, fighting a smile, "we need to get this over with!"
"Zane's food is gonna steal my girl..." Cole complains.
Nya turns her back to investigate more candy. "Lloyd wants some of these," she mumbles, grabbing a bag of sour candy, "Kai likes these," she picks up a bag of Hot Tamales, "and Jay likes Skittles."
With her arms full of candy, she turns back to their cart.
"I got all the candy I thi-" she's cut off by one of the most embarrassing and adorable sights ever. There, sitting in the grocery cart, is Cole. His knees are pulled up snugly against his chest, and it looks like he barely fits in there. Nya's eyes widen in shock.
"Cole!" she scolds, "What...why...how are you able to fit in that?! Get out! You're going to break something!"
He gasps in mock-offense. "Are you calling me fat?!"
She rolls her eyes before she can't hold it in any longer, laughter escaping her. Cole can't keep up his serious façade and cracks up, too.
"Oh my overlord...why must you do this to me..." She exhales, gasping for breath.
"You know you love me!" he yells.
"I don't know why. You infuriate me to death," she admits with a fond smile.
"Can you push me?" He pleads.
She shakes her head, huffing a laugh.
