I yawned as the morning sun glared into my eyes through the white curtains. I realized I was laying on Blaza, who was still asleep, holding my hand. I didn't want to disturb his sleep, the introvert in him probably had a stroke after yesterday.

I let go of his hand and tried to sit up, succeeding. I knew we didn't have any food in the house at all, so I would have to wait for Blaza to wake up before I went out for groceries.

I checked the windows for the weather, it was a complete snowstorm. No way I could go out today. I guess it would be a while of.. surviving I guess.

Blaza mumbled something, all I heard was indistinguishable whispering ... meh, probably having a nightmare of some sort. I figured it didn't mean anything and just went on my phone until he woke up.

Blaza jolted up suddenly, looking extremely disturbed.

"You okay?"

"Y-yeah, bad nightmare I guess.."

"Alright, the snowstorm is a bit too heavy to go out today."

"Oh, okay. Mabye it'll clear out for later."

"Do you want to watch a movie in the meantime?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"Heh heh.. come full circle have we?"

Blaza laughed and I turned on my tv, I still remember the first time we actually met, heh.. different times I guess.

He and I talked about what movie to watch for a few minutes before settling on something on the top ratings, no clue what it was about. I pressed the button to play the movie, and settled into the couch.

...

I yawned as the movie came to an end, I stood up and checked the window if the weather had cleared up. The snow was much less intense than before, still lightly snowing on top of the 3 feet we already had.

"Hey Blaza, the snow has cleared up and the roads have been plowed, you wanna go now?"

"Sure!"

Blaza and I went into my garage, which I somewhat struggled to find. We got into my car and I attempted to turn on the engine. I don't know how or why, but the engine worked after being off for more than a month. Tbh may have took it out to make sure the engine didn't malfunction, but I didn't know.

I pulled out of my driveway and started heading to the nearest grocery store, I figured it wouldn't be too busy considering the snowstorm ended only around 40 minutes ago.

We arrived in the parking lot of the store, Blaza and I made a quick list on what to buy while we were driving, he wrote it down on a spare sheet of paper he had.

We walked into the store, getting a shopping cart as we entered. It was loud and cramped, I didn't really mind it after being on a cramped stage so many times, but I could see it bothered Blaza. I held him close to me as we quickly bought what we needed for the next while.

20 minutes later and we were leaving the store, I was now 173.25$ more broke. Yippee. If only I got paid 2% more of my cut. Eh, no matter, it didn't worry me all too much.

Blaza helped me put all of the bags in the car before zooming down the freezing parking lot to return the cart.

A small drive later and we were back at my house, talking in the kitchen.
