Sounds good! I will see you soon!

[He makes quick work of their shopping list. It’s not like there are many surprises to making fried chicken and the cake supplies are easy enough to find. Yuuto goes ahead and checks out with his purchases, then waits patiently for her to find him.]

[dereban]

[ Given just how she's only searching for one item, it doesn't take her all that long to find it, check the price and grab the cheapest one, but when she comes back and he's already there-- ]

That was fast.

[spacialeyes]

Mm! I did my best to be helpful! [His tail is wagging again. Someone is very excited.]

[dereban]

Well, you can still continue to be helpful after this. Ah... do you have enough money or should I pay for it?

[spacialeyes]

I already paid for it! Is that alright? [cuz there's no takebacks!]

[dereban]

That's fine... but are you sure?

[spacialeyes]

I already did it, so... Yes!

[dereban]

Well, I suppose that's true. Anyway, I guess I'll pay for the cards since you have the food settled...

[spacialeyes]

Is that alright? I don't mind covering the cards as well, should that be of use to you. You've your survival to worry about as well, don't you?

[dereban]

Well, yes, but I live on my own and manage my own finances just fine, thank you very much.

[spacialeyes]

Then you can buy the cards, mm. [His tail is... still wagging... He's very excited to cook for her.] I hope you'll be satisfied with my cooking, Inaba..!

[dereban]

[ She can't help but think of how much of a golden retriever he looks like right now. ]

Well, we'll just have to find out. Can you wait outside? I'll pay for this real quick and meet you up front.

[spacialeyes]

Okay! I'll see you soon! [Yuuto bows once, then turns to go to the front entrance. Though, not without being stopped by yet another person who has mistaken them for a couple; Someone who gives him a pair of the wedding themed ornaments, even when he insists otherwise. Now he's standing outside and feeling real awkward.]

[dereban]

[ It takes her a bit, but she eventually exits the store, cards in hand. ]

I'm back.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto goes from admiring the ornaments he received to hastily hiding them in his grocery bag,] Hi! Welcome- Hi! Ready to- Yup! Let's go?

[dereban]

You said 'hi' twice. Are you alright...?

[spacialeyes]

[He nods rapidly.]

Mm-hmm! Let's go before anyone else sees us??

[dereban]

What, are you embarrassed by people potentially seeing us?

[spacialeyes]

Uh, well... Not particularly, just..! I don't want that for you? Wouldn't it be upsetting to you if people thought we were...

[dereban]

It doesn't bother me. Besides, you can get discounts and free stuff out of it.

[spacialeyes]

B-But I'm... [His voice trails off. Then, with a sigh, Yuuto retrieves the gifts that he received.] They thought we were dating and um... Here. It's for the wedding celebration?

[dereban]

If it bothers you that much, you should at least speak up about it yourself.

[spacialeyes]

[Yuuto makes a meek noise when called out. Now he has to process his emotions and it's not fun. He'd rather ignore them.]

I-I... I'm not sure what I feel about it. But if you're okay with it, I will be too..?

[dereban]

It shouldn't be about how I feel, Yuuto. Your feelings are important in this sort of thing.

[spacialeyes]

[His feelings?? Yuuto nods,] Uh, sure.

Anyway. This is for you..? They gave me two.
