[ glancing over to jason there, he grins a little because... yeah. he knows jason is a bit of a sap. his writing he did for and of him that one time sure showed that. ]
[ smiling, he knocks his shoulder against jason's again, just enjoying the closeness between them right now and how fucking normal this seems to feel. funny, because john is far from normal. ]
[ Rather than going out somewhere, which feels nice, cause they'll get to spend time with each other at their place together. They can go out other nights, but this'll be special-- yeah, he's a total sap. ]
[That makes him smile, leaning in to kiss John's cheek. This does feel so normal. Jason's always wondered what normal would feel like. He could definitely get used to this.]
Sap.
[He says as they come up on the grocery store. It's a smaller, local one which John will find Jason prefers. Growing up in Gotham he knows a lot of these places like the back of his hand. He made sure of it, cause life on the streets meant he really had to know the ins and outs, and he made a point of getting to know the established places around here.]
This place is good. I come here a lot. Shit's not overpriced for the yuppy crowd.
[ as they head inside the grocery store, john takes a second or two to look around β get a feel for the place. after all, it's somewhere he's probably going to be stopping in quite a bit since, well, he lives around here now.
reaching out to grab a basket for them, he looks over to jason then, small nod of his head. ]
[ Jason takes his time as well. He doesn't come grocery shopping very often. He gets the basics- beer, eggs and cheese. A single guy doesn't need much more than that- but now he's got someone to cook for and that might be nice. He likes the idea of the two of them sitting down for a meal together, no matter what else they might have to do. ]
Jason was gonna tell John to stock up on the lighters and matches to make sure he has enough, so he's glad when he grabs a few more. He also grabs some garbage bags cause he needs those too.]
What kinda candles do you usually get. Like, are they specific ones?
[ because they can't leave without those after all. ]
And the syrup, too. Which may or may not end up on you at some point.
[ a wink back to jason, he huffs a laugh as he heads to the freezer to grab a box for themselves. this is just... so stupidly normal and while he's sure there's going to be a moment where it makes his skin crawl thinking he doesn't deserve it, for now, he'll just enjoy it. ]

Gonna have it by candlelight too?
no subject
[ A bit of a sap? He's a total fucking sap and John brings it out of him so entirely. It always seems to be ok, though. ]
We've got enough candles now- you could totally put some on the table and I wouldn't say no.
[So yes, absolutely by candlelight. Extra romantic.]

[ as if he'd say no. and now, his turn with being a sap: ]
The first of many.
no subject
Sap.

Well that works for us. [ a beat. ] Or maybe me.
no subject
You callin' me a yuppy?
no subject
[ it's said a little lowly β just between them and he huffs a laugh as he shakes his head and looks around the place. ]
They got matches or lighters here?
no subject
[He says just as lowly, but with a laugh.]
Yeah, this way.
[He starts heading for the aisles, stopping for a moment by the produce.]
Do we need a vegetable?
no subject
[ they're important and all that shit. ]
We could do fresh or frozen I guess. Frozen might be like a mix of shit?
no subject
I can make a fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli?
no subject
[ he laughs, looking for the matches or lighters before he looks back to jason for a second. ]
We should get those frozen wafflesβ eggos? And syrup. That'll be me making you breakast.
no subject
[He snickers, grabbing some broccoli either way, then leads John toward the lighters and matches.]
Frozen waffles and syrup sounds real good, especially if you make it.
no subject
[ he asks that rather seriously and with a raised brow as he follows, plucking a box of matches off the shelf the second he spots them. ]
no subject
[He has an amused look on his face, but he's glad John is asking. He wants to have everything John needs.]
If there's anything I don't got that you want, we can get it.
no subject
[ it's said as a means to tease, but. also a truth.
either way, he makes sure to grab a couple lighters along with the matches. always good to have various options on hand after all. ]
no subject
[That's the truth too.
Jason was gonna tell John to stock up on the lighters and matches to make sure he has enough, so he's glad when he grabs a few more. He also grabs some garbage bags cause he needs those too.]
What kinda candles do you usually get. Like, are they specific ones?
no subject
[ he shrugs, looking over to jason. ]
As long as I have a flame to manipulate, the source doesn't always matter that much. Why? You gonna surprise me with candles?
no subject
[He gives a small shrug, smiling over at John.]
no subject
[ lips puckered to blow an invisible kiss to jason there, he chuckles then and gestures to the basket with his chin. ]
You need anything else?
no subject
Yeah, all the rest of the food.
[He snorts softly, then heads down the aisle again to look at some more things and grab some past before he moves to the frozen food section.]
no subject
We gonna need a lot of bags for this stuff?
no subject
[Maybe three. Pasta, chicken, butter, milk so far.]
Don't forget the waffles, babe. Grab em from that freezer.
oops i passed out but this has been a great weekend for them π
[ because they can't leave without those after all. ]
And the syrup, too. Which may or may not end up on you at some point.
