So he was allergic to berries. That was a good thing to remember. He nodded at the beer and then took it from Toshihiro, carrying it himself. After all, he was going to pay for it.
"The meat." He agreed with another nod. Starting off that way, Nao was chipper, obviously, enjoying his time with the other. "I'm ...glad we met up again, Toshihiro-san. I would have come by again, but... It's good to see you not at work."

Toshihiro put his hand on Nao’s head, “It’s much better that we meet here. Things are not always so lax at work. Right after you left the other night we got the party crowd and the whole place was packed for about 2 hours.” Toshihiro took his hand off Nao’s head and walked towards the meat, making sure Nao could keep up with his longer strides, “That’s why I came shopping today. Finally made enough tips to restock the house.”
Toshihiro walked towards the meat and looked over their choices then a large man walked up behind the counter, “What can I help you with Tosh?”
Toshihiro smiled at the large man, “I’m helping a friend shop. He’s going to make a stew and I was wondering if you had any ideas.”
The butcher nodded, “You’re in luck I just finished my cutting and I got some prime scraps that would work for your stew.”
Toshihiro nodded, “Thanks.” Toshihiro glances at Nao, “How many people are you feeding?”

"Well, Mina and myself. ....You, i-if you want," he said with a slightly flushed face before looking up at him and bit down on his lip. "Mina.... has to come over to help me with my lines... It's her fault I have to cook in the first place," he explained rather quickly, sighing at the end. Might as well tell the truth.
"B-but.. that wasn't the point.." He gave a little laugh and looked towards the butcher, waiting patiently. "Just... perhaps enough for three...."

Toshihiro nodded as the butcher went to get the meat, “I’d really like to come eat with you. To be honest.” Toshihiro looked at his basket, “This was going to be my dinner, lunch, and breakfast for the next week.” Toshihiro thought about his words then said, “But don’t feel bad I choice this life. I work hard to become better. So that someday I could travel…maybe go visit my father in America.” Toshihiro smiled.
Toshihiro really didn’t want Nao to worry about him like everyone else that found out how hard he worked at school and his job. Like his mother once said, ‘why work so hard for a good life that you have missed it by working too hard.’

Nao did feel a little bad for him, but if he said he was working to become better, then so be it. "If.. you live close by, you could... come to my house. I'm usually stocked up on dry foods that don't ruin." It was a simple, innocent invitation. So he could see Toshihiro any other time he wanted, or when the other felt the need to come over. "I wouldn't mind the company, either.."
Toshihiro was very good company for the elder, which was rare. Licking his lips a little nervously, he looked into the other's basket and frowned. "I could... offer to buy you things, if you want. I don't have a lot of money, but more than enough for two."

Toshihiro titled his head thinking about the invitation, “Uhm…I might have to take you up on that. Maybe I could cook you dinner. In exchange.” It sounded good to Toshihiro to go cook for Nao and then enjoy a nice dinner. “I live in the Himeyuri Apato.”
Toshihiro hated his small apartment but it was a roof over his head and a place to cook and sleep. He rarely studied there because it wasn’t very peaceful. Sometimes the people above his would be loud.

"Eh, what luck! I live in 3A of that apartment complex," Nao said, beaming happily. This was luck indeed. Nao could have a better apartment if he wanted it, but he hardly used his anyway, so a bigger one would just go to waste. Unless he got himself an animal or a lover, in which case, neither seemed possible right now. Well, maybe a lover one day, but not an animal.
"I'm.. never there, so... if you haven't seen me, maybe that's why," he admitted, shuffling his basket to the other hand and then swallowed thickly. He reached to brush his hand against Toshihiro's carefully, a little brush of fingers on his palm. He had to see how far the other would let him go. Not that Nao would go very far, he just wanted to be safe. After all, if they were both interested in each other, why not try a little?

Toshihiro nodded, “Well at lest your not the loud one above me. I live in 4A right above you.” Toshihiro wondered how someone like Nao could live a floor below him and him never have seen him. Maybe he had seen him and couldn’t remember that is what drew his attention the other night at work.
Toshihiro tried to think about all the people that he knew from the apartments and he couldn’t place Nao at all, “So since we live so close I’ll be sure to come raid your food.” Toshihiro smiled and gentle touching Nao’s hand.

The brush of the hands made him smile, chuckling to himself. He let his slightly plumper fingers move to hook their pinkies together, sighing softly. "I wouldn't know.... if you were noisy or not.." He said with a small smile. "Though, when I am there, I'm usually passed out from exhaustion."
He continued to wait patiently for the meat, not seeming to be in a hurry at all. Nao enjoyed this company a lot, the joking, the teasing manner, and the ever easy way of talk they had. "Raid away. ...I could... give you a spare key, for when I'm not there...?"
Nao realized he'd be spending more time at his apartment if this man was his upstairs neighbor.

The Butcher returned with the meat, “Here ya go boys.” Toshihiro took the packaged meat and handed it to Nao, “It’s not much fun to raid if there isn’t a chance to get caught.” Toshihiro chuckled and thanked the Butcher.
Toshihiro closed his eyes as sexual fantasy flash though his head. It was a bit early for those thoughts he’d just meet Nao. He took a deep breath as he became a bit hard thinking about it. He put his basket in front of him incase his pants weren’t loose enough. “Anything else you think we’ll need?”

He shook his head and took the package, placing it in his basket and thought a moment. Nao had everything enough for a couple of days. Licking his lips, he shook his head and tugged Toshihiro's arm, not seeming to notice the awkward basket angle, not that he was paying much attention.
Nao took a moment to push his hair out of his face before going to the check out with Toshihiro and looked to his basket with a frown. "...You need... to shop more. I'll buy, like I said before. So, let me pay for this, and then I'll come help you, ok?"

Toshihiro followed Nao to the front and looked at the magazine they usually keep around the checkout. He glanced at Nao's offering. “If your sure.” He didn’t normally like hand-outs but he was sure he’d be able to pay Nao back somehow. He was going to school to learn to cook he might as well have someone he could cook for.
Toshihiro keep his basket in front of him until he was sure there was no chance that Nao would see. Thank who ever invented baggy pant.

After he paid for all his groceries, he asked the woman to hold them for him, explained a little and thanked her with a low bow when she agreed. Chuckling, he moved over to his new friend and grabbed one of his hands and tugged him further into the market once again. Honestly, it was like he was a child getting what he wanted.
"So, what do you like to eat?" he asked, letting him go after a moment, looking over some more noodles and things, running his finger down a bottle of pasta sauce and then looked up to him with a small, simple smile. He wasn't aware of the other's baggy pants that weren't as baggy anymore.

Toshihiro was a bit shocked by getting dragged back into the store but once he figure out what was going on his smiled and Nao, “Well I’ll eat pretty my everything…except berries but that only because I get rashes and it makes me sick. I was thinking of making some sushi but I didn’t have enough money.”
Nao dragging Toshihiro made him stop thinking below his pants as he looked around the shop. “If I had more money I’d be as large as Cook.” He chuckled rubbing the back oh his head.

Nao laughed a bit and nodded, watching him with a little flush. "Well... I'm.. not thin, so I'm sure cooking for me would be a good thing. Get some meat on your bones," he said with a laugh, moving to put a few things in the other's basket. A few cans of water chestnuts, some more rice, some dried beans and canned meat.
He knew how to shop if it was dry storage things. He could actually cook dry storage things, which was a good thing. That's how he lived besides fast food. "Not.. that you're to skinny. ...I think you look amazing," and then he realized what he said. He flushed again and smacked his forehead with a hand and then whined softly.
