"Did you say we're out of creamer?" Toga turns to her girlfriend with a small smile on her face. She loved to watch Ochako's brows furrow while trying to calculate the prices in her head instead of just using her phone to help her out. "Depends, vanilla we need more of, caramel we still have most of," Ochako answered after a long hum, almost interrupted by the sound of the plastic hitting the cart.
"Okay, what's next?"
"..Ah, I think I lost count thinking of the creamer... I'm sorry." Ochako said slightly embarrassed. "That's why I said you should just use your phone calculator, but I knew you didn't so I was remembering with you," Toga giggled at her girlfriend's antics. 'I forgot to charge my phone! I didn't wanna waste the battery..' was usually Ochako's go-to excuse, but today she just left her phone under her pillow and ended up leaving the house without it.
"Ahh, I'm sorry!" Ochako apologized waving her hands "I will next time, I swear!"
"It's no big deal! Hand me the list?" Toga gestured her hand out for the sticky note. "Cereal, carrots, lettuce.. What kind of cereal do you want, babe? I'll run and get it while you get the vegetables," The fanged girl turns away looking behind her planning to sprint off, stopping after noticing Ochako's flushed expression, giving her a cheeky grin. No matter how many pet names Toga used, Ochako would blush and tilt her head bashfully every time, even after their 3 years of being together. Not to say she didn't enjoy it, however, she cherished everything Toga said, did, or showed her like it'd be the last time.
"Uh.. the frosted flakes," her fluster slowly dissipated after Toga skipped off.
After Ochako reached the vegetable aisle, she was startled by calloused hands on her shoulders and a kiss on her cheek, causing her to jump and punch the mystery person.... said 'mystery person' being Toga.
"Ow?! Why is it in your instincts to punch people... I guess that's a good thing though," She whines while putting the bags of cereal in the cart. "You freaked me out!! I couldn't help it..."
Toga put her palm on her chest and fake gasped, "Wow, now I'm a freak?? I just Olympic sprinted down the breakfast isle for your pleasure and you preach such blasphemy? That's most ungrateful, my liege," accompanied by a deep bow. Ochako rolled her eyes while giggling at her girlfriend's antics, not worried about the loud, teasing, overdramatic praise with a fucked up accent in the vegetable aisle. "Whatever you say, humble servant," accentuated with a gentle flick to Toga's forehead.
"Aughh, why are you attacking me..!? This isn't fair at all.... I think you legally owe me a kiss right now," the blonde girl proposed, clearly proud of her work.
"You say that as if it's punishing me... c'mere," followed a peck on the forehead and the mutual teasing as they headed to the while putting the bags of cereal in the cart. "You freaked me out!! I couldn't help it..."
After a struggle of trying to figure out how to use the self-check-out, they find themselves back in their car, both of their faces red with minor embarrassment.
"Why do stores even want these check-outs?! Cashiers are so much better. I'm sure in another universe this would be my villain origin story..... like, capitalism and economics or something."
"One, stores don't like cashiers because it costs them money monthly. Two, you're too sweet to be a villain in any timeline, I'm sure," Ochako grinned, going in to pinch Toga's cheeks.
"I guess the first part makes sense..." Her sentence came out as a mumble before Ochako let go and rubbed them better. "But no way, I'd be an awesome vigilante villain and you'd be my secret superhero girlfriend!"
"Oh really? And what would our powers be in said 'Alternate Universe'??"
"I've thought about it before actually," It was clear Ochako was shocked by her raised eyebrows and head tilt "Your power would be something to make things lighter because of how you make everyone feel better, and mine would be blood-related because my periods are really strong."
"Blood-related??? Okay... and have you drawn out our costumes? Not like it'd be a bad thing, I'd love to hear about every silly story you have to offer," the brunette girl offered before going in for a quick kiss
"..you can't just butter me up like this and get away with it, you scoundrel!" Toga chuckled
"Scoundrel!? What's with this old-timey vocabulary... 'blasphemy', 'scoundrel', 'liege'... did you read a book with a medieval setting or something?"
"Maybe I just know more than I've let on.. another reason why I'd be a good villain. I think the car's warmed up enough, let's hurry home?"
"Yeah.. I love you, Toga."
