"Not really. I'm happy to just stay here with you." He smiled softly and hugged Sorin.

Sorin lowered his head and planted a kiss on top of his. "As long as you're happy, I guess…"

He grinned a little wider and tightened his grip on Sorin's hand. Thank god I managed to convince him…

Sorin scanned the shelves again and beamed once his eyes landed on the yeast. They were at the top of the shelf, though it didn't take much effort for him to reach it due to his height. He set it into the cart before he went to retrieve a large carton of eggs and a gallon of milk. He had urge to pull out the picture in his pocket, but decided against it when he realized who he was walking with. He led Cas to the snack isle and held his arm out to the array of sweets on the shelf. "You're welcome to choose what you like. But not too much though. I wouldn't want you getting cavities."

"Ooh…" Cas looked up, distracted and intrigued by the bright colors of the sweets. Although he couldn't read the names of anything, the pictures gave him a pretty good idea of what was inside the colorful, shiny packages. "What do you think I'd like?"

Sorin sighed and looked at him. "Casper, I can't pick for you. I want you to pick something that you like."

"I know, but I've never had any of these before. I don't know what I'd like." Cas stood on his toes to see the sweets better.

Sorin smiled at him sympathetically and searched for sweets he thought he would like. A large bag of Oreos caught his eye as well as the bag of Swedish Fish below it. "What about these? Do they look appealing to you?"

"Ooh, fish!" He picked up the bag of Swedish Fish, intrigued.

"I'll take that as a yes," he said with a small chuckle then put the bag of Oreos into the cart. "That should be all for right now… I think."

Cas nodded and took Sorin's hand again, his tail swaying behind him. "What else do we need, love?"

"I don't think we need anything else," he glanced at him and began pushing the cart out of the isle. "Not that I remember."

"We probably should've made a list… I would've, but I barely know how to write anything." Cas looked down into their cart.

"Yeah, that would've been a better idea…" he stopped and stood behind a line of people, a part of him hoping they wouldn't look back at them. "And I'm always ready to start lessons again when you're ready."

Cas sighed a bit, gripping Sorin's hand tighter. "I don't think I'll ever be ready to, but I probably should…"

"Yes. The sooner we can get started, the better," he moved up as the line got shorter.

Cas nodded reluctantly and looked around at the other customers, curling his tail around Sorin's leg.

By the time they were all done, the two had received a few glares once the customers realized who they were standing in front of. Sorin ignored them and began putting the items on the conveyor belt.

"Why are they looking at us like that?" Cas asked quietly, looking back at the people with a confused expression.

"Isn't it obvious?" he replied in almost a whisper. "We're different from them Cas."

Cas turned his ears back, whimpering almost inaudibly and turning away from the people. He never let go of Sorin's hand.

Once he finished paying, Sorin quickly grabbed the bags and led the both of them out of the store. The last thing he needed was for another fight to break out because someone decided to approach them the wrong way. He handed Cas one of the smaller bags before picking him up.

Cas held onto the bag tightly, not wanting to lose anything. He glanced up at Sorin to wait for them to take off, no longer paying attention to his surroundings.

Sorin flew away from the store, tightening his grip on Cas to ensure he wouldn't fall.

Cas closed his eyes, still not a big fan of seeing the ground from this high up. He just kept quiet and held tight to his bag.

Sorin was thankful he arrived home with Cas safely and not for the reason of him being hurt this time. He made his way inside their house and set the bags down, along with Cas soon after.

Cas set his own bag on the counter with the others when he was put down. After that, he opened them up and started trying to help put them away.

Sorin almost told him to not bother helping him and to just rest until he was finished, but a part of him appreciated the fact that he had done so in the first place. He put the bags away in a mostly empty drawer before he continued putting the items in their places.

Cas hugged Sorin from behind when they'd finished putting the groceries away, his tail flicking from side to side. "I love you…"

"You're too cute," Sorin chuckled softly and held the both of his hands. "I love you too…"
