Arthur placed one last can into the cart, seeing that he had a reasonable amount. He looked up. “Alfred. I have to pay for thes—” his gaze looked down the aisle, then back to the other end. He mate wasn’t here. He scowled. He pushed the cart, glancing around for the wandering demon. He gritted his teeth, grumbling to himself as he looked for the blonde male.
“Alfred?” he called out reluctantly. He wasn’t one to make a scene. He combed his slender fingers through his hair and just pushed the cart to back to the front of the store to buy the food. He’d run into Alfred sooner or alter. Arthur’s emerald eyes glared at the lines, all seeming to be so long. His lips curved into a frown as he chose the closest line, all them being around the same length. He watched the clerks work with a bored gaze, making their annoying small talk with the costumers. Arthur let out a groan, hating the mortals and their slow working process.
He glanced around the for the demon again, hoping to see him but failing catch any sight of him. It made the store seem so big to not be able to find the toerh. The Briton frowned and pushed the cart ahead as the stranger in front of him moved forward in the line.
It was, after a point, that Alfred found he had lost his mate. There was a slight fear, since being around these pools and mobs of mortals was a hell in and of it’s own, but he knew he could easily find his mate, and brought his head back down to level. His mate would be easy to find- since his scent was practically burned into his knowledge, plus it was different than all others. Bitter, but earthy scent.
It was easy enough, being taller than most mortals to find his mate’s splotch of shaggy blond hair. The demon spotted him in a line of sorts. He blinked and carried his things to the other male, n ot bothering to deal with the man that apperently had a problem with him cutting in line. “Found you~” He grinned lightly to the mage, hand over his own shoulder, holding his bags.
It was irritating being squished in by all these humans. He felt some sort of need to rip his claws out and slash at them to create some area between. He could feel his hands twitch lightly. He never was a fan of crowds. He stared forward for a moment, noting the line was to pay for things. His ear twitched. “Is that all you wanted?”
He blinked his emerald eyes up the blonde that had suddenly appeared from no where. A small frown formed on his face. He pushed the metal cart as he spoke, “Where did you go?!” he exclaimed, completely ignoring Alfred’s question. Arthur already saw a woman staring at the two like they were animals fighting in cages. He sighed, then sopke again in a hushed voice. “Don’t do that again…” he grumbled, grabbing the demon’s arm and squeezing it. For a moment he actually became worried over the other.
Arthur felt the arm in his hold twitch lightly, Alfred obviously becoming irritated in the crowd. His eyes glanced down to the bags that the demon held in his clawed hands. “Have you payed for those?” inquired the Briton as he nodded to the clerk. He placed the items on the register, pulling out his wallet once again. The male scanned the multiple canned foods and vegetables horribly slow.
The clerk spoke, saying, “How has your day been?” and “That’s a nice jacket.” The regular, irking, small talk. Arthur only scowled and grunted in response to the irritable questions. He glanced to the two bags that were now filled with his groceries. The clerk spoke once again, saying the total amount. The mage pulled out the money, giving it to the clerk. He waved him good bye, not bothering to take the small amount of change left over as he grabbed his own bags. Wanting to get out of this store.
Alfred felt the hand wrap around his arm and grinned lightly. “Nah… guess I gotta pay for stuff…” He muttered lightly. The look on Arthur’s face was telling him on one hand, that he was pissed, but the other was telling him that he almost looked concerned that the blond had been out of his sight. It was pretty adorable.
He watched the mage as he payed for his things and mimicked the other, hearing the man talk to him, but not really replying, simply staring as the food was scanned. He never understood why all this technology had to come into play with trading goods. Whatever the case, it was still slightly interesting to him.
The amount of things he bought was less than Arthur, therefore it was bagged faster, and he had followed after Arthur quickly, snaking his hand into his mate’s poket and dropping the extra change he had forgotten in his pocket. “You should save money.” His grin grew lightly.
“Oh, I was looking for stuff, then you were gone- you’re lucky I can still find you with all these people around.” The demon leaned down to Arthur’s level. “Why? Were you scared for me?” He snickered lightly as he teased his mate.
