A Small Glitch

We're A Family

"The preschool will starting next week so we'll need to start thinking of foods to pack for Annalise," Dark said as he pushed the cart.

"Don't they provide food there?" Anti asked as he walked alongside Dark.

"They do, but there is no way I'm trusting them to properly nourish Annalise," Dark stated, stopping to take a look at the tomatoes.

"Tomaters," Annalise said, kicking her legs out from the cart's basket.

"Tomatoes." Dark corrected as he picked out a few of them.

"They feed plenty of kids, I'm sure Ann will be fine," Anti said as he rubbed the top of Annalise's head, watching as Dark placed the tomatoes into a sheer plastic bag.

"She is currently underweight for a child of her age and size, she needs to gain some healthily. I will not let some undereducated human feed my child sugary sweets because they believe she's not getting enough at home. Which she is." Dark placed the bag into the cart.

"Your child?" Anti smiled a little.

"I forged hundreds of documents and signed both of our names on more sheets than I can count. She is my child." Dark went back to the cart's handle and went on.

"I'm glad to hear that you care for her." Anti wrapped his arms around one of Dark's.

"I haven't been given much of a choice." Dark sighed, rolling his eyes with a smile when Anti pecked his cheek.

"Ew." Annalise giggled. She grabbed the book that was sitting next to her and she opened it up to the first page.

"Are we running low on coffee?" Anti asked as the entered the next aisle.

"I believe so." Dark hummed as he continued walking, going to the bagged tea. He took one of the boxes off of the shelf and began reading the back. "This delicious infusion is bursting with summer fruit flavors; exotic, tangy pomegranate with sweet, velvety raspberries." Dark read out loud, using a tone that made Annalise giggle. "Reading tea descriptions is an experience." Dark chuckled as he tossed the box into the cart.

"Kitty!" Annalise said as she pointed to the picture in her book.

"That is a very adorable cat," Dark said. "Now, what does the book say?"

"The cat says 'meow'," Annalise said the words slowly as she read.

"That was perfect." Dark complimented.

"Meow!" Annalise clapped her hands.

"Cats also purr, did you know that?" Annalise nodded her head. "Anti can also purr." Annalise gasped and covered her mouth with her hands. "Remind me to have him show you that. It's a little trick he picked up from a...friend of his." Dark chuckled, a little smirk forming on his lips.

"They didn't have our normal kind, but I thought this sounded cool. I got a small one just in case." Anti said when he reached the cart, holding a small bag of coffee beans.

"Purr?" Annalise asked.

"Did you tell her?" Anti placed a hand on his hip as he raised a brow towards Dark.

"The cat says 'meow'." Was Dark's answer. Anti sighed and rolled his eyes before he cleared his throat. He stood next to Annalise and made a purring sound, stopped when Annalise started laughing loudly.

"You a kitty!" Annalise giggled.

"And Dark's a dog," Anti said with a wink at Dark.

"Puppy?" Annalise started to flip through her book. "The dog says 'bark'." She read, looking up at Dark with expecting eyes.
