You Are Mine

Chosen.

Shouji strode down the sidewalk on his way to the grocery store.

He hummed low to himself, the streets pleasantly sparse of people.

Pulling his hood closer to his face, taking a deep breathe of the cool breeze in the air.

It was such a nice day.

Shouji stopped, and went inside his favored grocery store. He grabbed a basket, and went down the aisles in a practiced motion.

Tossing his needed items into the small hand basket, his mind wandering a bit.

Paperwork, what he would make for dinner, his plan.

He stopped at the aisle with all the baby supplies. Formula, diapers, and various other necessities for taking care of babies. Not much, just normal things that you would need.

Mulling it over, he shrugged, and decided to at least take a look.

Shouji scanned the shelves, so many different choices. He plucked a random container of formula from the shelf, looking it over.

Should he go ahead, and stock up? Or should he wait, he didn't want his babies getting sick from bad formula.

He placed the formula back on the shelf. Best to wait.

Shouji headed to the check.out, and quickly payed for his items.

Making his way down the sidewalk again, his phone buzzed in his pocket.

He stopped, taking his phone out, and checking his messages.

It was from Tooru and Ojiro, they were having a part to celebrate Toorus pregnancy..

Well, that takes Tooru off his list of potential mates. A bit of a waste since Ojiro is a beta.

Nonetheless he was happy for them, albeit a bit jealous. It seemed everyone was starting a family but him.

Shouji pocketed his phone, eyeing the baby boutique further down the street.

He could spare a few moments to buy his friends some gifts, and maybe look a little for himself...

A few days later, Shouji stood outside Ojiro and Toorus home holding many present boxes in his arms.

He knocked on the front door, quickly putting his hand back in place to keep a slipping box from falling to the ground.

The boxes were full of diapers, formula, onesies, and a few stuffed animals, things Shouji was sure they would get a lot of use from.

Ojiro opened the door, the smile in his face growing when he saw Shouji.

"Shouji! I'm so glad you could come, I'm sure the others would love to see you too. Tooru will be really happy you made it!"

Shouji couldn't help but smile, Ojiros excitement, and happiness rolled off of him in waves.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, this is a big deal after all."

Shouji couldn't help the slight ache in his chest when he said that.

Ojiro looked down at the multitude of boxes in Shoujis arms. The beta apologized quickly, taking some of Shoujis arm load.

Ojiro lead them into the living room and

motioned for him to set the boxes with the others on the gift table they had set up.
