You're like a kid, so yes.

[he sees that smirk and he recognizes what it means, but decides to let sephiroth have that. cloud steps back and onto the landing once they reach the top, leading the way as he continues to tug him by the hand. they arrive at the grocery store and that's when cloud lets go, pointing over at the carts for sephiroth and heading over to the first section: fresh produce.]

[they don't do much cooking, but cloud's making a point of grabbing some onions and mushroom. essential for omelettes. ah, tomatoes, too.]

I'm getting moved to a different sector for work. [casually] Commute's going to be a bitch.

Four.

[he places his choice of vegetables and fruits into the cart when sephiroth approaches. there's something to be said about how apples are one of the few fruits sephiroth eats, and so cloud starts bagging up a few more, studying them to make sure they're in good shape.]

It's gotten a little violent there lately, so— they want someone else to help out. Guess I drew the short end of the stick.

[a security guard position isn't a big deal and has never been, as far as cloud is concerned. sector four guards are just bad at their job; this is what he believes. there is no way anything bad could happen. tying up the bag with the apples, he pats sephiroth's arm and moves past to head on over to the bakery area. the pharmacy's just around it, so they'll make their way there after cloud grabs a few loaves of bread.]

Not even a raise in sight, but I'll get a bonus if I can hang on for three months after the transfer.

[...except, he'll get shot at three times two weeks in. nice.]

[cloud would be an idiot to not notice sephiroth shoving things into the shopping cart. he'll deal with it at the register, as usual, for now just picking out a bag of flour tortillas, looking at sephiroth, and tossing it at his face so that it—unceremoniously—drops into the cart. well, maybe he swatted it away or caught it; doesn't matter.]

The looking's difficult right now.

[...maybe cloud hasn't been aware that sephiroth finds interest in his mundane work life.]

[sighing, he grabs the cart by the front and tugs it after him as he walks a little faster than what sephiroth, perhaps, would have expected. it's a beeline for the pharmacy as he sniffles again, going up to the counter and thinking himself lucky that there's no queue. he pulls out a prescription from his pocket and hands it over towards the pharmacist on shift who goes to the back shelves to find the medicine. cloud glances down and looks over at the items that need no prescription to buy... and decides to grab a box of bandaids (you can never have enough of them), and his hand also wanders towards the boxes of condoms—which, after choosing the right size and brand, he tosses them towards sephiroth; the toss is cut short and lands instead on the cart.]

[cloud pushes and pulls at the trolley, annoyingly.]


You got job suggestions?

[it's a legitimate question.]

[cloud squints. sephiroth, you're a dick.]

I might if you keep that up.

[he lets go of the cart because clearly it was no effect on sephiroth, at this point. he crosses his arms and stands his ground on the matter, despite the sneer he can hear in sephiroth's voice.]

They're for you, big guy. [he hates that he said that] —shuddup.

[sometimes, cloud wishes sephiroth had some awareness of himself. he moves to the register when the pharmacist returns with his prescription medicine, and cloud pays off the amount with a couple of gil in his wallet. he avoids eye contact with the other as best as he can as he dumps the paid-for medicine onto the cart and starts walking towards another one of the aisles.]

[he can't ever pick up anything at the pharmacy with that pharmacist working the counter ever again. oh well, time to find himself a new pharmacy to go to. he turns to look back at sephiroth, before grabbing for their (or his) preferred cereal boxes.]

Don't look so smug.

[boxes in hand, cloud stacks them into the cart without looking, his eyes instead intent on sephiroth—giving him a dull look of seriously? laced with mild annoyance. it's sephiroth's love for giving cloud a hard time which has the blond skeptical of his general ignorance, even for things like this.]

I'm setting you up with one of those grannies from the neighborhood that has the hots for you.

[he delivers that with a monotone voice, setting for sephiroth's side and putting a fist to his gut. a light punch, nothing to write home about.]

You're a jerk, you know that? [cloud's flustered, but he rubs at his eyes in an attempt to keep the other from getting under his skin. his voice is quiet.] It's obviously with me. I can just put it back.

[moments like this, cloud tries to force sephiroth into some semblance of honesty.]

[it's not that he's taking things far too seriously, but sometimes with sephiroth it's really hard to get a rise from him—to the point where these small shows of affection are surprising and unexpected. he lets out a huff of air through his nose and turns his head to the side, away from the man, just to try and act like he's not all too interested in whatever sephiroth has got to say. these boxes on the shelves look very interesting.]

Too bad for them, you're already taken.

[that is not to say that he doesn't like being held like this.]

[cloud turns his head back towards sephiroth, pressing a kiss to the corner of his lips. he casually presents him with the bag of cookies he likes so much.]


Just the one bag?

[of course sephiroth would notice other people trying to get close to cloud; the man's hyper fixation is not lost on him, but the reason why cloud assumes ignorance is because he's pretty certain sephiroth wouldn't mind breaking a wrist or two to make a point.]

Really? It feels like you're pushing for a threesome. Anyone else catch your eye in return?

[but sephiroth pulls away with the bag of cookies in hand, and cloud considers his words before silently taking another bag and setting it down in the cart, too. he grabs at it and starts walking, pulling it behind him. there's a list of things in his head to go through before they can check out.]

You wanna grab food for lunch on the way back? Don't feel like cooking.

[trailing out the aisle with sephiroth in tow, cloud only grows self-conscious of the surely childish antic when he spots other customers walking about minding their own business. he looks away from them, because sephiroth is enough to to capture the attention of others; if it's not the long hair, it's his height—or just how handsome he is.]

[they sweep past the freezers and cloud starts picking out an array of foodstuff.]


How about noodles?

[for some variety, after placing down whatever else onto the cart, cloud barges into sephiroth's space and between his arms. now he controls it, regardless of whether sephiroth still has his hands on the bar or not.]

From the Wutai place 'round the corner.

[a few liters of milk, some eggs...]

Nothing.

[cloud says quickly, turning his head away from the shoulder where sephiroth has leaned into. it's better to deny anything is the matter to stop the man from spinning anything into whatever narrative he wishes to create. it's easier this way, too, to avoid embarrassment.]

[even after all this time, cloud stutters when it comes to being ultimately vocal about things even when he is rather obvious about it with his actions. he reaches up with one hand, not-so-harshly pushing away at sephiroth's face.]

[don't call him out.]


I can't remember what to shop for if you do that.

[right.]

[a distraction, yes. a terrible one? cloud would want to argue that point, and say that sephiroth chooses the worst of times to be a distraction, like a cat that needs love and affection when its owner is busy doing other things of import.]

[his chest squeezes tightly as he's pulled into an embrace—and he stops short, his cheeks warming up with embarrassment and a feeling of... endearment at the action.]

[which is why he just stands there, next to the shelves stocked with different canned fruit, staring hard at the brand names and pictures, trying to tell himself that he doesn't mind it, except he's fully aware that sephiroth is doing this on purpose, until cloud admits to something. it's even more embarrassing when people walk past them, glancing at them, and cloud hesitantly goes for one of the canned peaches, just to give himself something to do.]


You're the one that can't stop thinking about me.

[a point was made.]

I'm not saying it's wrong!

[exasperated, a little, because he's definitely growing embarrassed. he's not upset, though, as he turns a quarter angle to face sephiroth and put a hand against his chest in an attempt to push him to back off a little.]

...I just can't function if you hold me like this when we're shopping.

[that's all there is to it. really.]

[with a sigh, cloud pulls away from the shopping cart and allows for sephiroth to take the reins. it's what he wants, right? adjusting the cap over his head for a moment, squeezing the bill between his hands so it's more of a narrow semi-circle, cloud leads the way again. the canned peaches dropped in the cart, a moment of "why did i buy this" for later.]


[but cloud's idea of leading the way this time is not being in front of the cart; rather, he stands by sephiroth's side, an arm looped around the other's, walking alongside him.]

We just need a few more things and we can get out of here. [he likes his shopping trips to be quick and to the point. and, since they're approaching the liquor section,] You want wine or something?

[good thing that cloud is familiarized with what kind of liquor sephiroth prefers. it's surprisingly one of those few things that took very little time to figure out, although there is most definitely a specific brand and flavor the man likes; banora seems to be the preferred choice. and so cloud veers away just a little to get a bottle of the stuff, setting it down and doing some quick maths in his head over the purchased items.]

[looking about right, he urges sephiroth to lead the way to the cash register.]


Repair the bikes, most likely.

[not his bike, no; for now, cloud scores a few jobs in fixing bikes and other vehicles for the neighborhood crowd. right now he's got a few kids' bikes in their apartment needing the chains fixed and flat tires that need mending.]

Wanna get them done before sundown.
