Natalie and Osmond come out of their rooms, go to the front door and put on their shoes.
"Did you get your wallet?"
"Yeah."
"Keys?"
"Yeah, I got everything."
Natalie pats her purse.
"Alright, let's go."
They leave the apartment.
"Where to first?"
"Convenience store."
"The pharmacy will close down sooner."
Natalie looks at her phone.
"We can make it."
"Okay then."
They go to the convenience store, confirming what they need to buy on the way there. Just before they enter the store, Osmond stops Natalie.
"Don't kiss me while we're in the store!"
"Don't worry, I won't."
"Alright."
They enter the convenience store. Osmond grabs a shopping basket and leads the way, carefully avoiding the pasta shelf, turning away whenever it comes into sight. Natalie notices this.
"You really don't like pasta."
"I hate it because it makes you feel bad."
Natalie hugs him.
"Hey! No skinship in the store!"
"Oh, shut up."
After a few seconds, she releases him.
"You're the best."
"Yeah, whatever."
They continue shopping and stop by the sweets aisle.
"Let's get some-"
"No, we're already having flan for dinner."
"C'mon, just one thing."
Natalie looks at Osmond with expectation, but his stern expression doesn't change.
"These things have way too much sugar in them. If we're eating sweets, then it's better if we make them ourselves."
"Fine…"
They continue shopping. After a little while, Osmond stops and looks inside the shopping basket.
"Alright, what's left? We have bleach, bananas, brussel sprouts…"
"Popcorn!"
"Right!"
They walk around a bit and grab a box of microwave popcorn.
"I think that's it."
"I think so, too."
They checkout, Natalie pays, and Osmond bags the goods. As soon as they get out of the store, Natalie grabs Osmond by the collar and kisses him. Osmond struggles a little, and Natalie lets go.
"Natalie!"
"We're not in the store anymore, right?"
Osmond scowls at her.
"Oh, come on, don't get mad over this."
"You… Ugh!"
Osmond starts power walking.
"Osmond!"
Natalie catches up, grabs him by the wrist and stops him.
"Osmond, don't get mad, please."
They look into each other's eyes for a few seconds, then burst into laughter. They continue on their way to the pharmacy. The shopkeeper's bell rings as they enter the pharmacy, and a young black haired girl with glasses greets them.
"Good evening, how may I help you?"
Osmond starts fidgeting behind Natalie.
"We'd like some condoms."
He blushes and turns his face towards the door.
"One moment, please."
The pharmacist looks around under the counter. Natalie turns to Osmond, and starts poking him from behind.
The pharmacist puts a bunch of different packets of condoms on the counter.
"These are all the different kinds we have."
"Which ones do you want, Oz?"
Osmond looks at the condoms, then whispers into Natalie's ear,
"Extra thin, and maybe the ones with dots and ribs, but not the ones that numb the tip."
"He said he wants the extra thin ones and the dotted ones that don't numb the tip."
Osmond, in his embarrassment, covers his face with his hands. The pharmacist smiles and puts the other ones away.
"Two packs each."
"Sure."
Osmond walks to the corner with his face buried in his hands. Natalie glances back, then laughs at him.
"Oh God, you're such a maiden!"
The pharmacist tries her best not to laugh.
"Ah, do you have lube as well?"
Osmond lowers his head even more.
"Y-yes, I'll go get some for you."
The pharmacist can't help but smile as she looks for lubricant. Natalie walks up behind Osmond, grabs his shoulder and tries to turn him towards herself, but he resists.
"Excuse me!"
Natalie walks up to the counter.
"Here we have lubricant that heats, lubricant that cools, for anal, with aloe vera..."
Natalie turns to Osmond.
"Oz, which one do you want?"
With a muffled voice he responds,
"Just get whatever."
She turns back and stares at different types of lube like a detective looking at his suspects.
"Take your time."
"Thanks."
Natalie turns to Osmond again.
"I can't decide, come help me."
"I don't wanna."
"Come on!"
Natalie walks up to Osmond and drags him by the arm to the counter.
"Look."
Osmond uncovers his face and looks at the lubricants. He tries to whisper in Natalie's ear, but she stops him.
"Tell that to the pharmacist."
Osmond blushes and looks at the pharmacist who's trying to hold back her smile.
"Um, is… Is it okay to use the aloe vera kind with these condoms?"
"Yes, of course."
"A-and the a… Anal?"
Osmond's embarrassment shows on his face again. Natalie starts giggling, the pharmacist snorts loudly, and they both burst into laughter. Osmond retreats to his corner.
"Oh God, you're such a maiden!"
Osmond covers his face.
"Your boyfriend is adorable."
"Hahahah, I know, right!"
"I'm waiting outside!"
Natalie and the pharmacist start laughing again. After regaining their composure, they continue.
"I'm sorry, I'm supposed to stay professional."
"It's fine, you couldn't help it."
"Ah… Anyways, you can use all of these with the condoms you chose."
"Alright, then I'll take the ones he chose."
The pharmacist scans the items and puts them in a small bag.
"Would you like anything else?"
"No, thank you."
"Alright, that'll be 18,46."
Natalie rummages through her purse, takes her wallet out and pays with a credit card. The pharmacist hands her the receipt.
"Thank you, come again!"
"Thanks, bye!"
Natalie leaves the pharmacy and sees Osmond pouting with his arms crossed and back turned towards the door. She goes around in front of him, but he turns away from her. He sees the pharmacist giggling inside, and gets embarrassed again.
"Oz, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I wonder!"
"Let's talk it out on our way back, okay?"
"Whatever."
Osmond picks up the grocery bags and they head back home.
"I'm sorry I laughed at you."
"Whatever."
"I really am sorry."
"I don't care."
"Don't be like that, Oz."
"..."
"Ooozz!"
"..."
"C'mon, Oz."
"I felt like I was in high school again!"
"Oz, I'm sorry."
Natalie takes his hand and Osmond looks at her. He stops walking, clenches his fists, then starts power walking home.
"Oz, wait!"
"Don't follow me!"
"We live together, I've no choice but to follow you!"
"Then go live somewhere else!"
"Ooozz!"
Natalie catches up to him, grabs his arm and stops him.
"Oz, I said I'm sorry! Stop being such a prick and just accept my apology already!"
"Oh, I'm a prick now?"
"Yes, you're a prick! You're the prickest prick I've ever met and I love you. So just… Stop being mad and go back to being my favorite person in the world already."
Osmond's expression softens a little.
"Apologize."
"I apologize."
"Say you're sorry."
"I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?"
"I'm sorry for laughing at you while we were in the pharmacy."
"And?"
"And… I'm sorry for making fun of you, I'm sorry for poking you, I'm sorry for calling you a prick, and I'm sorry for making you cry earlier, and I'm also sorry for bothering you so much all the time."
"..."
"Is that enough?"
"…Apology accepted."
"Good, thank you."
"Hold my hand as we walk home."
"Sure."
Natalie takes his hand and they continue on their way home.
