"Andy, for the love of poptarts... Take. The. Mask. Off..." I demand for what seems like the millionth time as I tug on the black ear of the Batman mask my boyfriend wore over his face.

"Noooooooo... I'm BATMAN!" He whined, crossing his heavily tattoo'd arms above his head in an attempt to keep the plastic mask on.

"No, you're a dumbass, take it OFF." I gave up trying to forcefully remove it from him and flopped down cross legged next to him on the floor of supermarket. Which, thinking about it, must look pretty strange. Two fully grown adults sitting on the floor of the kid's toy section, fighting over a stupid mask.

But of course, Andy didn't give a shit, as usual. He just stared at me from behind the uneven eye holes cut in the black mask, his hands still raised protectively above his head, prepared should I try to make a grab for it again.

"Andy..."

"Woma-"

I shot him a death glare, one that would put Loki to shame. Daring him to go on.

"Katie.." He dropped his eyes, pouting like the child he was as he crossed his arms over his leather jacket clad chest.

"If you take off the mask.. we can go to Nando's.." I sigh, praying for a miracle that the stubborn asshole would for once do as I say.

Rachel and the rest of her strange crew had gone off in an attempt to find Eve, and Kathryn who had decided to run off I don't even know. But could I go? No. Because my stubborn boyfriend wanted to act like kid who had consumed way too much sugar.

I hated it. Hated having to sit here in anticipation while one of my best friends was possibly in extreme danger with a possible psychopath. And now my sister probably thinks that I'm no different from the way I was the last time we saw each other, which by the way, was an act.

Andy pouted even more. His lip ring wobbling as he tried to guilt me into buying him another piece of Batman merchandise.

"Can I wear the mask to Nando's?" He begged.

"Andyyyy!" I whined, putting my head in my hands and shaking it.

Why? Just why?

[ at Nando's ]

"Oh my glob... you're so embarrassing! It's a wonder I actually take you out in public." I complain, sitting opposite to my boyfriend who was dressed in a skin tight, full length Batman costume. Yes, costume.

He had insisted upon returning to my flat and putting it on. That was the bargain, if I wanted him to remove the stupid mask. To be honest I think I would have preferred the mask.. actually no. I think I'd prefer it if I was the one wearing the mask, then I wouldn't have to see the odd stares we were receiving from the general public acting like actual human beings in the restaurant.

"But honey, you don't take me out in public. You don't like to socialise in society." Andy tilted his head innocently, smiling in amusement at my embarrassment.

I glare at him. Knowing full well that it was the truth.
