Be Prepared

"So," Saint began, "can I take you on a date this time?" He wanted the rest of their day to be special and had a good idea of what he wanted to do.

Zee was still on a high after the fan meet and would pretty much agree to anything Saint could suggest so he said "That would be great! I'm happy to let take charge." He resisted the urge to wiggle his eye brows.

They left in Saint's car and headed to the first stop on their date, a supermarket. Saint knew it wasn't the most romantic of places but he needed to stock up on a few bits before the date could begin properly. Saint parked the car then he and Zee headed into the store.

"Sorry if this is boring but I want to get a few things to help make our date special." He explained to Zee. "So will you go pick something that you like to drink while I get the bits I need and then I'll meet you at the checkout?"

Zee was happy to oblige because it meant he could pick up a few things he needed himself. He picked up a basket and headed to the drinks section first. He grabbed a few bottles of his favourite beer then headed to the medical section. He knew he was probably being to forward but he thought it was better to be prepared. He browsed the condoms and realised he had zero clue what he was looking for so grabbed a few different packets flavoured ones, plain ones and ribbed ones. He was sure one of them had to be right. Next he moved on to the lube. This he had a good idea about because he'd used it by himself a lot. He picked up a bottle of his favourite aloe vera one and headed to the til. He kept checking over his shoulder to make sure Saint didn't spot him making these purchases. Zee thought he might die of shame if he got caught. It wasn't Saint finding out that worried him because he knew he'd be fine if it were just him and Saint, but the thought of a stranger commenting made his shy. He quickly paid for his stuff and waited at the door for Saint.

Saint was going to burst into flames. He couldn't remember why he had ever thought this was a good idea. He had never bought condoms before and here he was with about 5 boxes hidden in the bottom of his basket. He could do this. He had to do this. He had piled stuff on top of the condoms, mostly to hide them but also because it was for his date. He headed to the check out and spotted Zee. "Keep calm Saint," he told himself "Zee can't read your mind. Just breathe..." Saint tried so hard to keep his emotions in check but the closer he got to Zee the more his stress levels rose. When he put the basket on the counter and the man started scanning his items, Saint grabbed the keys from his pocket and passed then to Zee. "You can wait in the car if you like. I want some of this to be a surprise, if that's ok?" He prayed Zee would agree so he didn't have to spontaneously combust from the stress.

Zee thought Saint looked a little off, "Oh shit," he thought to himself "what if he knows about the condoms? What the hell should I do?!" He tried to relax and act like everything was fine. When Saint asked if he wanted to wait in the car he almost ripped the keys from his hand and ran out the door. He didn't, thank God, but he did accept the offer with a quick "Ok Bunny, see you soon." and got out of there as quickly as possible.

Saint let out a sigh of relief. Zee obviously couldn't tell anything was up thank God. It wasn't that Saint was saying things were going to happen between them tonight but there was no harm in being prepared. At least that was what he had tried to convince himself while a large part of his brain was screaming at him that, "YES! TONIGHT WILL BE THE NIGHT!" Once all the items were bagged and paid for Saint headed out to the car.

Zee had been in the car seconds before he had taken out all the boxes of condoms and hidden them in his pockets. He put the beer back in the bag and was just doing up his seatbelt as Saint opened the back door.

Saint placed the bags into the back of the car and secured them so they wouldn't spill out then jumped into the drivers seat. "So for our date I'd like to cook for you if that's ok? I promised I'd cook when we had pizza but I had nothing in. Now I'm fully prepared but if you'd rather go out we can just drop these off and go somewhere else?" Maybe he was rambling slightly but he was nervous and trying to play it cool so sue him! It was only when he had to stop for breath that he realised it was probably a good idea to let Zee answer him before he kept on talking.

Zee could feel an energy coming off Saint the second he sat down. He had patiently waited for him to stop speaking before saying, "Bunny as long as we're together I'm happy to have our date anywhere." He held Saint's hand and gave it a little squeeze. He wanted to scream about how happy it was that their date would be just the two of them in private but he managed to keep his cool.

Saint felt so much better after Zee had spoken, his heart was still fluttering but he didn't feel quite so ready to explode.  "Thanks Koala." He said starting the engine "Let's get going or it'll be late before we can eat." He let go of Zee's hand and started driving.

Once they arrived at Saint's place and they dropped the bags in the kitchen, Saint insisted Zee sat down in the living room while he cooked. He wanted it to be a surprise but he also needed to hide the non edible things he'd bought. With Zee happily drinking beer and watching tv Saint set about making the night as special as it could be...
