Chapter Text
"kaito put that back." len muttered, not bothering to spare a glance at the man behind him as he searched around for the family sized box of rice krispies. he already knew what kaito was holding, it was a common occurrence every time they had gone grocery shopping. shopping with kaito was like shopping with a child.
"but len.." the blue haired man sighed, clutching the box of tooth-rotting sugar cookies against his chest, "they're so good.."
len narrowed his eyes at his normally taller husband who had suddenly shrunk down in size as he looked up at len with big, pleading eyes. his lips were pulled in a pout and len couldn't help but crinkle his nose in disgust.
"kaito, babe, ew. you are thirty two years old."
well, he also couldn't help but add the petname so his lover could discern under his lieu of disgust that he thought it was cute deep down.
"adorableness never ages." kaito grinned, maneuvering around his husband, slyly placing the box of cookies in the cart behind len. len could practically hear the cackling going on inside of kaito's head thinking he was slick.
"jesus you make me want to throw up," len laughed slightly, pushing up his glasses, pretending not to notice kaito's obvious attempts to get him to buy the box of sugar cookies one way or another, "now come help me find the rice krispies."
"they're right he–"
"put the chocolate rice krispies down kaito."
kaito returned to pouting as he watched len pick out a large blue box and reach over to place it beside kaito's blue-frosted cookies. kaito quickly tugged on the sleeve of his (previously kaito's) grey sweatshirt, trying to distract len from the cookies in the cart which, jesus, len already knew about and probably even the whole supermarket since kaito was horrible at being inconspicuous. the blonde looked up at the other with a raised eyebrow,
"yes?"
kaito jutted out his lip forward once again, tilting his head slightly and clutched len's sleeve a little tighter. len tried his best to look nonchalant about his husband trying to be cute and quote on quote distract him from the runaway cookies in the cart, but his reddening ears gave him away.
imagine being 26 years old, pushing 30, still falling for the cheap puppy dog eye tricks after 6 years, even though you already know what's going on because your lover is a horrible liar.
here he stood in the middle of a supermarket, trying to pick out healthy cereal, thinking about how he was still irrevocably, disgustingly in love with his big, dumb, puppy-like partner, kaito.
he rolled his eyes, cupping kaito's face between his hands as he stood on his tippy toes (a common formality since he was many centimeters shorter) and pressed a light peck against the blue haired man's puckered lips.
he ignored the blush overcoming his cheeks as his lover's mouth formed into a large 'o' shape, looking positively thrilled at len's form of pda. there was practically a tail wagging behind kaito at this point as he looked down at len with bright, starry eyes. despite len having shown public forms of affection for years, it still had the same effect on kaito, too. he was still just as in love as len was with him. and it made len's heart feel warm. too warm, in fact.
kaito's arms wrapped around him from behind, his ponytail most likely tickling the tip of kaito's nose as he kissed the back of his blonde locks.
"i love you."
len swore there was smoke coming out of his ears at this point.
"you're paying for the cookies," len huffed, trying to hide his red face, resting his hands on the handles of the cart and stomping away from his giggling husband.
he ended up muttering to kaito that he loved him more later, the taller man in the process of loading their bags into the back of their car. kaito proceeded to then smother him with kisses in the car, much to len's protests.
