Today we planned on going grocery shopping for our roadtrip up to Karl's house. I grab the shopping cart as we walk into the store.

"What do we need?" I ask him.

"Chips and cookies and monsters and..." he lists off a bunch of junk food.

I laugh. "Okay lets start over here."

We grab a few bags of chips and a couple of other things to snack on. I'm looking at the cookies when Quackity tells me he's going to grab a pack of gum.

"Hurry back," I say as I scan the shelves for the double stuffed oreos.

Some girls stand at the end of the aisle with me. I can feel their stares at the back of my head. I look up and smile. They smile back, one jumping up once excitedly. I wonder if they know who Alex and I are.

Alex comes back and throws the gum in the cart. "Do you like spearmint?"

I hear a gasp from behind us that confirms my suspicions. Alex turns his slightly towards the girls and gives them a smile. He takes the cart from me as we walk to the candy aisle.

I needed to grab some more toothpaste, so we walked down that aisle next. I bite my lip as I look at the options. Alex leans on the cart as he watches me pick it out.

"I think I want whitening, but I feel like it doesnt work everytime I get it." I turn to get his opinion.

"I think you're good as long as it cleans your teeth."

I roll my eyes. "You think?"

"Pretty positive," he grabs the tube from me and puts it in the basket. "What's next?"

"Well, I wanted to get some drinks, too" I check the list on my phone.

"Lead the way." He follows me with the cart as I walk to the drink aisle.

I grab some Monsters when I remember I wanted to grab a couple sodas, too.

"Hey, Alex," I say.

"He turns his head towards me, "Yeah, whats up?"

"Can you grab some sodas? They Are at the end of this aisle."

"What kind?" He hands the cart off to me.

"Surprise me. As long as it's not Mountain Dew or something nasty."

He laughs. "Your wish is my command"

He walks away to grab the sodas. I turn around to see an older man standing right by me.

-tw-

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, pretty lady." He places his hand on my back as if that was offering me some condolences.

"It's fine," I take a step away from the man to grab a case of Monsters from the lower shelf. Big mistake.

"Here, let me get that for you." He places his hand on my ass to stabilize himself. I freeze where I am.

"Oh you don't need to do that. I'm fine on my own." I want to leave, but I am stuck between the man and his cart

"No, you look like you need help, and I can give you that."

"I don't want anything." I say sharply, hoping he would get the point. He didn't.

"Oh we both know-"

"Hey babe," Alex's voice rings out, "did you grab those drinks?"

I look at Alex desperately. He gives the old man a weary glance as he grabs the case of Monsters on his own. The man takes a single step back. I took full advantage as he did this get right by Alex's side. Alex immediately places an arm around my waist.

How did he think of a plan so quickly? I would've never been able to get out of that situation if it weren't for him.

"See you around." He nods to the man. The motion was nice but his eyes cut deep into the man's soul. It was a warning to stay away.

Alex slips his hand into mine as we walk away from the man.

"Thank you," I whisper so only Alex can hear it.

"Don't mention it."

We continue to walk hand and hand until the old man disappears. I let go as I grab a pint of ice cream. "Just a little snack for tonight."

I'm scanning the groceries at check out as Alex suddenly hugs me from behind.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Just helping you with the items, babe." He nuzzles into my hairs to whisper, "Your little pervert friend is right there. Had to keep appearances."

I smile a little. "Have I told you that you're the best boyfriend in the world?"

I can feel him smile though my hair. "No, but it feels great to hear, not going to lie."

He comes out from my neck to grab the next items. As I turn to push the cart away from the checkout, I see the group of girls from earlier staring at us.

Uh oh.

We load the bags into the car's trunk.

I bite my lip. Do I ask him about the girls? Theres no way that they didnt take a picture of what happened. They were clearly fans as they randomly showed up in the aisles we were in. Would Alex be mad if those photos were released? I shake my head. I need to tell him, so he isnt blindsighted tomorrow by the leaked pictures tomorrow.

"You saw the group of girls, right?" I ask him as he loads the last bag into the trunk.

"The ones that kept conveniently needing something in almost every aisle we were in? Yeah I think they ring a bell."

"Well, did you see them by the check out?" I ask.

"No, I was a little distracted." His eyes wander from my eyes to my hair, then back to my eyes again.

"Are you mad?" I bite my lip again. It's honestly a terrible habit that I should stop.

"No, why would I?" He shuts the car's trunk.

"Well I think they took photos of us when we were checking out. What if they leak the photos? We know they will." I lean against the car.

"Oh I'm not worried about that." He shrugs. "The only thing on my mind in that moment was getting that creep's eyes off of you."

"Oh," I smile a little on the inside.

We get in the car. I take a deep breath before putting the car in drive.

"Thank you for stepping in today." I finally said, "Y'know, with the old man."

"Y/N, don't apologize. I just wanted him to be put in his place. I should be apologizing for not punching him on the spot." He looks at me as he talks.

I nod once. "Either way, thank you."
