It was currently 2 pm, and George was currently buying supplies for the bakery, whilst Darryl maned the counter the door then opened and the bell rang, Darryl then brightly smiled as he saw who it was

"Ohh good afternoon Aiden haven't seen in a while" Darryl greeted, to which Aiden smiled and walked to the counter

Aiden then said, "Ohh yeah sorry about that, I just got too busy and, uhm did you and Zak finally faced each other?" Aiden asked, to which Darryl nodded and Aiden raised an eyebrow

"So how was he? is he still the same terrible person?" Aiden asked Darryl then lightly shook his head and smiled

"Nope, well his actually changing he had been quite kind actually" Darryl replied to which Aiden felt a ping of sadness but still felt happiness and joy for Darryl

Aiden then inhaled and exhaled, and made a small smile at Darryl, "great hope he keeps it up anyways, can I get it? uhm 1 loaf of banana bread,5 chocolate chip cookies, and 6 muffins?" Aiden said his order

"Of course, just wait for a moment" Darryl replied, as he got getting Aiden's order whilst Darryl did that Aiden then frowned a bit then sighed and thought"hope he'll take care of Darryl, I love you"

Aiden was then snapped back when Darryl placed his order on the counter, "here you go that would be 20 silvers" Darryl said brightly

Aiden just forced a smile then took out a pouch in his pocket and got 20 silvers, and placed it on the counter"there well I must be off now see ya around Darryl" Aiden said as he got his order

"ok bye then," Darryl said

Aiden then went to the door and replied, "ok bye Darryl" Aiden then opened the door and went out

Darryl just sighed and then sat down on the chair next to him, and started reading a book to pass the time

After a few minutes, later George came back carrying the supplies with Zak helping him with the heavier ones that George bought, they were laughing at a joke and Darryl seemed to smile at the sight, then the two noticed Darryl intently staring then they both looked at him and smiled

"Ohh hey Darryl, a good thing I saw Zak in the market caz this shit is heavy," George said setting down the supplies on the floor

"Language George," Darryl said normally then went to the two and bent down and started gathering the stuff to carry to the kitchen, but Zak stopped him

Zak then said "Ohh no let me, it's a bit heavy plus I know you tired" Darryl just stood back up smiling, as his heart warmed up from the gesture then his heart fluttered, as Zak passed by him smiling whilst carrying the supplies to the kitchen

"Oh uhm, te..thank you then," Darryl said stuttering a bit

"No problem" Zak responded as he went inside the kitchen

Darryl then kept hiding a smile which George noticed, George then nudged Darryl on his side and smirked, Darryl then looked at George with an annoyed look

George then asked cockily," falling already are we Darryl?"

Darryl was taken back by that then replied, "what...what no I haven't"

"Yeah yeah keep telling yourself that lie" George responded

"You muffin head, wait aren't you against me forgiving Zak earlier?" Darryl asked

George then responded, "well while were walking here his actually pretty alright when he's not cuckoo,"

"And if you still haven't yet fallen for him, then time will tell if you do or not," George said then walked past Darryl and went to the counter, giving Darryl a warm smile

"Ok I already put the supplies on the supply cabinet, also damn Darryl the cabinet was really organized, "Zak said as he went to Darryl

"He's just a clean freak" George retorted to which Zak chuckled as it was true and all

"Ohh also I actually bought you some chocolate on the market," Zak said as he pass Darryl two bars of chocolate

Darryl then took the chocolates and said, "uhm thank you I love chocolate"

"Correction addicted," George said then giggled

Darryl just rolled his eyes then asked, "what do you guys want coffee or hot chocolate?"

George immediately replied"hot chocolate please"

"I could go with hot chocolate," Zak said

"Ok hot chocolate it is" Darryl announced as he went to the kitchen cabinet to get the cocoa powder and a few other stuff, then after that started making it whilst Darryl made hot chocolate

George said out of the blue, "don't fucking hurt him"

Zak was surprised then replied, "of course, I already had done enough too far actually, but he still gave me a chance so I'm never ever gonna hurt nor break his trust"

George then smiled hearing that, "good caz if you did I'm gonna fucking slice your throat"

Zak just awkwardly laughed as he thought it was a joke then George said in a menacing tone"I wasn't joking Zak"

Zak then gulped then said"I promise I wouldn't hurt him again"

George then responded, "don't just say it do it ok?"

Zak then nodded and then George sighed then said, "Ok good keep it up then"

Darryl then came back with three mugs of hot chocolate," here" Darryl said as he gave one to George

"And here you go," Darryl said as gave one to Zak

"So what's up?" Darryl said as he took a seat in front of Zak then took a sip

Zak forced a smile then Darryl titled his head then asked, "uhm you look really pale Zak is something wrong?"

George then covered his mouth suppressing his snickering and giggles

Zak then said, "ohh no I'm fine *took a sip* hmm this is really good"

Darryl raised an eyebrow as he knows Zak wanted to change the topic, so he just shrugged the strange behavior then changed the topic

And the three of them just started joking and talking, and the day was pretty mostly just that well accompanied with customers coming in and out to buy some bread, but pretty much after the customers leave they just start talking once more

And they didn't even notice as the time went by a flash and it was now,7 pm and Zak then said his goodbyes and went back to the castle whilst George and Darryl started locking the doors and windows then they went home as well, then after that they had dinner and after they finished eating they cleaned up then went to bed a few minutes after
