After making sure Keigo is comfortable on the couch, I cover him up with a nearby blanket and poke his nose playfully making him chuckle before pressing a kiss to his forehead. A smile on my lips graces across my face as I head toward his kitchen. Humming to myself, I walk into Keigo's kitchen to familiarise myself in the room, opening each cupboard to make sure I know where the pots and pans are, where the plates and bowls and cutlery are and so I know where he stores certain foods. As I look over the foods, clicking my tongue as I try and figure out what to make him with the foods available.

Judging by everything in his kitchen, Keigo mainly depended on restaurants and takeouts instead of making his own home cooking. He didn't have much food other than a bowl full of fruit which seemed way past it's expiry date. They were mushy and ew! Instantly, I threw them in the bin. Gagging to myself at the thought of out of date food, I push open more cabinets and check the expiry date of every item of food to make sure Keigo wasn't going to poison himself. He really needs to go grocery shopping and do it properly.

Taking a deep breath, dreading the state of his fridge, I open up the refrigerator with a small hum. My eyes widening slightly at how bare it is. There's only milk, which I swear has curdled, and some cheese with a slight questionable appearance making my stomach somersault uncomfortably. No wonder he goes to a restaurant almost everyday. He has no edible food!

Hoping that there's food in the freezer, I pull it open and bite back a laugh at the sheer amount of ice pops and ice cream bars and tubs of ice cream littering the shelves. Well, at least I know he has enough ice cream. Thankfully, there is enough food to feed him for tonight. There's some frozen beef steaks that I could probably make with homemade wedges or fries with the potatoes in the pantry that look better than the rest of the food he has. That should be good enough, then tomorrow I could get groceries for him so he can actually eat properly instead of wasting his money.

"Does steak and fries sound good, Keigo?" I ask from the kitchen as I pull out the beef and the potatoes from their respected areas, "I couldn't find anything else, your food is all expired bar your frozen foods and a couple potatoes,"

"I'm surprised you even found anything to cook with," Keigo says with a chuckle as he leans over the back of the couch to look toward me with a small smile, "I'm not good at buying groceries,"

"No, really? I wouldn't have thought! The amount of food you have is amazing," I hum sarcastically, giggling as he blows a raspberry toward me and rolls his eyes, "Most of your food is out of date, so I'm going to get your groceries tomorrow so write down what food you like, okay?"

"Awww, you're an angel babe but you don't have to do that," Keigo hums, leaning his head against his hand, watching as I turn toward him to begin slicing potatoes on the island, "Restaurants and takeout are perfectly fine,"

"Keigo, it's not healthy to keep having takeout and you don't need to waste your money," I tell him, placing the sliced potatoes into a tray and oiling them up before covering them with salt, pepper and some paprika amongst other spices with a small hum, "Just let me buy you groceries, okay?"

"Sure, if it'll make you happy," he says with a smile, blowing me a kiss as I place the potatoes into the oven for them to bake before leaning against the island, "Hey, uh... earlier... you called me your boyfriend,"

My eyes widen slightly as I stare at him in shock, a small nervous laugh emitting from my lips as I rub the back of my neck in a sheepish manner. My stomach slowly contorting with worry as he looks toward me with a small smile. Oh god... I really screwed up didn't I! Please tell me I didn't just accidentally call him my boyfriend when he hasn't even asked me properly?!
