Author's Note: Another Tumblr request, although this time I got really excited about posting and decided to post it early!

"Can we just try and get this done as quick as possible?" you sighed, shutting the passenger door of the car behind you.

"Come on, grocery shopping isn't that bad. Besides, it's more time that you get to spend with me," your boyfriend smiled, throwing an arm around your shoulders.

"Whatever," you said, although you couldn't help the smile on your face. You leaned over onto his shoulder as the two of you walked across the parking lot.

People walked around the entrance of the store, pushing carts full of groceries and a variety of other things that they sold. You and your boyfriend fell into single file in order to avoid getting in the way of everyone else.

"Should we get a big cart?" he asked, his hand resting on the handle of a cart.

You looked down at the handwritten list of groceries that the two of you had made before you left the house, "Yeah, there's a lot of stuff to buy."

You fell into step with your boyfriend as he pushed the cart through the rows of produce. He scrutinized a couple apples while you ticked things that you had already picked up off the list.

"Which of these looks better to you?" he asked, holding up an apple in each hand.

"Definitely that one," you said, pointing to the one in his left hand.

"Ok," he said before dumping it into the bag and putting the other one back. "What's next?"

"Let's see," you said, skimming through the list. "What about popcorn?"

"Oh yeah, we need that for tonight."

"Ok, I think that's in aisle seven."

You folded the list back up and fell into step with your boyfriend. He was humming quietly to himself.

"Wait, this aisle," you said, grabbing his arm as you spotted the popcorn.

"Ok," he huffed as he wheeled the cart around.

"Sorry. I thought it was in aisle seven, but I guess it's in six."

"You're good," he smiled. "I didn't even have an educated guess to make."

The two of you stopped in front of the popcorn section and began to look over your options. There were so many to choose from, you weren't sure how you would choose.

"Hey, I think I'm going to go a couple of aisles over and pick up some coffee. I'm trusting you to pick out a good popcorn," he said.

"I don't know, that's a lot of pressure," you laughed.

"I believe in you," he said, giving you a quick kiss on the cheek before walking off towards the coffee aisle.

You were trying to decide between buttered and caramel popcorn when you heard footsteps at the end of the aisle. Thinking it was your boyfriend returning from his coffee adventure, you looked up with a smile. Instead, it was someone much worse.

"Y/N?" he said, his red hair sticking out at all angles from under his beanie.

It felt like your tongue had grown to ten times its normal size, rendering you unable to speak. After a few seconds of staring blankly at him, you managed to utter a quiet, "Hi, Josh."
