We're on our way to get groceries.

Things are back to normal, unexpectedly fast.

Neither of us are complaining though.

The soft pattern of the rain falling onto the pavement makes it cozy as I walk close to Corpse. 'Hey Amelia, guess what?' Corpse asks out of nowhere. 'Hmm?' I pull my hoodie back a little so I can look at him. 'Race ya to it.' And with that he takes off. We're the only ones outside so being weird is not a problem. 'Hey! Wait that's not fair!' I says as I hurry to catch up. 'You're slow!' Corpse says as he slows to a jog, but I still need a bit to catch up on him. 'You got a head start.' I say as I catch up with him. When I do he wants to run away again, but I grab his shoulders and jump on his back. He starts to chuckle as he slows down to a walk. He's breathing heavy, back moving up and down at the breathes he takes. 'Not escaping today.' I say.

He bends over forward, making me yelp and grab onto him tighter, and he seems amused by it. 'Do I need to shake you off, or will you get off on your own.' He says as he lets my legs go. Though I can easily hold myself up. 'Hi hi.' I say as I rest my head on his shoulder. 'You're like a little monkey.' He says as he tries to shake me off. I giggle as I easily hold on to him. 'You're not getting me off.' I tell him.

He stops and moves his hands to support me again, so I get to hold on a little less tight. I move his hoodie a little and kiss his neck 'I've missed you.' I mumble against his warm skin. 'Missed you too.' He says as he carries me to the shop. When we're close I wiggle out of his grip and get off his back, snatching the bag from him and running the last bit. I touch the glass of the store with one finger as I grin at Corpse. 'I won.' I say.

He huffs but smiles at the same time. 'Alright, good job.' He says as he opens the door of the small store and lets me in first. 'Hello!' One of the cashiers says. 'Hi!' I say back, corpse following quietly. 'What do you want to eat?' I ask. 'Could you make chili again sometime?' He asks carefully, knowing it takes a bit of time and work to make it. Three hours at least. 'Sure.' I say as I start to get the ingredients. We get some more and then get ready to pay. It's not a lot, but we needed dinner, seeing how corpse lives off cereal or things he can order from home.

Corpse carries the bag as I carry his hand.
Very important too.

'When are you starting again.' He asks. 'Work?' I ask to clear what he means. He nods. 'I don't know yet. They've asked me to take over Marksen's group until he's back as well, so I guess soon.' I say. 'Is leading two groups not a lot of work?' He asks. I shrug 'both teams are well trained. They could train themselves if they needed too, so it's just monitoring and giving them a guide line.' I say. 'Oh alright.' He says.

We head up to our apartment and we start to unpack the groceries. When corpse puts away the last thing I sit down on the kitchen counter. Corpse folds the bag and puts it in the closet before turning around and looking at me. He gives me a confused look as I stare at him. Then I do grabby hands towards him and he smiles before walking over. He hugs me, resting his head against my shoulder seeing how I'm taller like this. After a bit he lets go and still stands in front of me. He places his hands on my thighs and pulls them apart so he can stand between them and stand closer to me. 'You're Beautiful.' He says as he moves my hair behind my ear. He kisses my cheek, making me giggle.

'I missed holding you.' He says as his big hands lay on both sides of my waist. 'So small.' He says to himself as he giggles. I squish his face between my hands a little, causing him to look up. 'Kiss.' I say. He gives me a confused look. 'I want kissies.' I say as I start to pull on his sweater. 'Do you?' He asks as he goes against my pulls. I give him puppy dog eyes, causing him to laugh. 'Alright, fine.' He says as he leans closer. He kisses my nose, cheek and forehead before finally connecting our lips. I can't help but smile into the kiss, so corpse pulls back laughing.

'You're something.' He says.
