Part 8: shopping

(Thanks ProceedPerson for helping me with the prompt. I really was struggling with this and that was a good idea. Also, if I'm not TOO busy I'll update, but sleeping and midnight, getting up at half six and walking around all day is tiring)

Shopping. Jack hated the entire idea. The long, tedious job of dragging a cart around a busy shop, and then doing your best to not fight with the self service checkout, or dealing with the stupidly slow person behind the other checkouts, combined with the awkward small talk. Then there was the walk back, with God knows how many bags, and you feet aching by by the end. Mark had definitely made shopping a little more fun, but even he couldn't make the walk home better. Which is why Jack was stumbling along beside his boyfriend now, complaining with every step.
"Mark why can't we just get a taxi"
Mark rolled his eyes "because I haven't got any change left"
"Well can't we get some money out? we brought the card"
"Jack no, just come on. We need the exercise"

Jack opened his mouth to complain again, before tripping over and spilling most of his bags contents over the floor, before continuing his complaining as he stood up.
"But I'm tired"
Mark had originally been worried about his boyfriend face-diving the concrete, but when he started complaining again, he just sighed.
"Pick your stuff up and come on, it'll take longer if you keep stopping."

Jack grumbled but got up and grabbed his stuff anyway, ambling after mark. They continued for a little longer before Jack fell over again, this time to mark laughing.
"Are you ok?" A man asked as he stopped to help Jack up again. Mark looked at him and glared. The man was smiling, in black t-shirt and matching jeans, with brown hair and brown  eyes. As he reached a hand down to Jack. Jack noticed mark and smirked over to him, grabbing the man's hand and pulling himself up, picking up his bags as he did.
"Yeah I'm fine" Jack replied, chucking "that's twice now."
"You should be more careful" the man laughed "you don't want to scratch that pretty face."
And that was when mark walked over and grabbed jack's hand while shooting a glare at the man. Jack giggled and kissed his boyfriend's cheek. "Sorry, he's a possessive idiot"
"I am not." Mark huffed and the man burst out laughing "don't worry, my boyfriend's the same."
"So you weren't..." Mark looked at the man quizzically and he laughed  "no I was, but just friendly." He laughed "I'm Dan, Dan Howell-lester."
"Oh so you're married" Jack smiled "I'm getting close to that" he held his hand out and Dan smiled and nodded at mark. "Word of advice, to both of you, for the love of god don't let the other one go." He smiled down at his own ring, twisting it gently "I very nearly did, and it was the worst time of my life."

After that, the three walked off, and Jack fell back into moaning.
"Mark please, just take the bags, you're stronger than me!"
"Exactly, you need to build muscles ,string bean"
"I thought I was a clover" Jack remarked, and then fell over for the third time that day.
"Owwww" he whined "mark.. help"
Mark rolled his eyes but smiled affectionately at his green haired boyfriend. "Fine, you weakling."
Mark reached out and pulled him to his feet, grabbing the bags and draping one arm over the smaller man's shoulders. "I love you, you clumsy leprechaun" he laughed and Jack nodded, cuddling into his arm. "Love you too mark" he smiled to himself, his goal achieved.
