Pulling up along the street of their neighborhood, Adrien elbowed Luka in his side of his slouching form.
"What?" Luka asked groggily, pushing himself up from his slouched form. "Did we arrive?"
Pushing himself all the way back up in the passenger seat, Luka rubbed his eyes as he released a groan. The hour flight back from Italy was short, tiresome, and not long enough to sleep. All Luka wanted to do was head home, walk through the door, and head straight for the king size bed and sleep. If he's lucky maybe he'd be able to convince Kagami to join him in bed so he could cuddle.
"Almost," came Adrien's voice. The young blond returning to his side of the driver's side as he continued down the road. "We're pulling up in a few seconds. And judging by your state, I take it you're ready to jump in bed and sleep, huh?"
Luka looked over to find Adrien smiling and glancing over him. He chuckled at the blond. Adrien had always known how much he enjoyed sleep after a mission. It became like a victory nap session. Now if only he and Adrien could convince the girls to follow their footsteps into this tradition.
"More than you know," Luka replied as Adrien pulled the black Citroen SUV up his home's driveway.
Once Adrien parked his car and shut the engine off, both men got out and walked up to the other ready to depart. Adrien was twirling his keys around his right index finger when a voice called over to them.
"Welcome home, boys." Greeted Kagami.
Adrien dropped the keys and he and Luka swerved around near the front of Adrien and Marinette's home when movement caught their attention further towards the front side of the house.
There in the front balcony of the second floor home, Adrien and Luka found their girlfriends each lying on a lawn chair, in bikinis sunbathing with a tray between them on a small table holding a pitcher and two glasses which looked to be strawberry lemonade. The girls looked down, their sunglasses glaring down on them as it hid the colors of their eyes that they loved looking into.
Seeing their girls in swimwear and basking in the sun brought out another form of thoughts through their minds. Both men gazed over their girlfriend's body. Taking in the image of their girl lying stretched out, their flawless skin shining with a halo outlining them.
Thinking about how they got lucky with the woman that they're in love with.
Seeing their boyfriends ogling them from the driveway, Marinette and Kagami glanced to the side and looked at each other and smirked.
Marinette leaned forward until you looked over the railing and smiled at them. Then asked, "So...where's the groceries you two bought?"
Kagami followed and leaned over the railing to look down at the boys watching as both of their brows furrowed in confusion.
'What did they mean by groceries?'
As they let Marinette's question float around, Luka was the first to make the connection, Adrien slowly following behind as the lie they told earlier caught up to them.
It was silent enough between the couples that Kagami and Marinette were both able to hear Luka and Adrien whisper 'fuck.'
Luka swiftly picked up Adrien's keys, yelling, "Get in, I'm driving."
He ran towards the driver's side hopping in as Adrien ran to the passenger's side and slammed the door shut after getting in. Marinette and Kagami watched in amusement as Luka started the car and reversed quickly, screeching the tires as both men sped out of the driveway and down the street, disappearing in the distance.
"Do you think they deserve to be punished when they return?" Kagami asked Marinette as she looked over to her.
"Nah. Luka having to deal with Adrien's inexperience with grocery shopping feels like a good punishment to me. But that's for me towards Adrien, you can still punish Luka if you feel like it."
"Hmm. You know, I don't think I will. With the stories I've heard from you about your experience dealing with Adrien when grocery shopping, I think it'll be a good enough punishment for Luka."
Both girls break out in laughter as they head back towards the lawn chairs and to sunbathing. They were going to enjoy their relaxation knowing the struggles the boys are going to face when they reach the store.
Arriving at the supermarket, Luka and Adrien walk through the doors and look at the crowded aisles and people moving around.
Luka walks over to the carts and grabbed one, Adrien following behind as he grabbed a cart for himself.
Walking along the aisles, Luka begins grabbing items while going through his mental checklist.
"Oh my god!" Luka stopped in the aisle when he heard Adrien behind him and turned to see his friend gazing at the entire row of chips.
He blinked as he watched Adrien looking at all the different flavors. A smirk grew on his lips as he couldn't help chuckling. "Have you not seen a row of bags of chips before? I thought you said you've been to the store before?"
Adrien looked at Luka with a smile, "Yea, but I've never been to this store. The ones the Marinette and I go to is smaller. They also have a smaller selection." He looks back at the chips. "There are so many flavors!"
Luka watched in amusement as Adrien started gathering bags of chips and tossing them into his cart. As Adrien continued browsing the bags, Luka continued grabbing items for him and Kagami.
If someone told Luka that anyone could handle shopping, he'd start telling you he would begin to disagree.
It had been an hour and a half since he and Adrien arrived at the store and they weren't even done. Why? Well, he could thank his metaphorical younger brother for that.
For Luka, if it weren't for finding the young blond adorable like a kitten, says Marinette, he'd probably have headed to the checkout, paid, head home to put them away and return to probably find Adrien still shopping. No, scratch that. He'd probably be busy being distracted by the wonders of shopping.
To think he thought Kagami was horrible. Now he knows both her and Adrien are just as equal after seeing this.
"Free samples!" Yelled a store employee standing at one of the little carts.
'Oh god no, please!' Luka shouted in thought.
Adrien stopped his cart and with a smile headed to the free sample cart to try another food product. Unaware that Luka was groaning and banging his head against the cart handle.
"Luka, you got to try this! It's delicious."
He just wanted to go home damn it.
Looking up at Adrien, he saw the bright smile and he grumbled again. He just couldn't say no to that happiness on the blonde's face.
Another hour later passed and Luka was found sitting in one of the massage chair displays as he watched Adrien in the distance looking at television sets and patio sets.
Reaching for one of the chip bags, Luka opened the bag and began munching on the chips while setting the massage chair on high.
"Excuse me sir, but you're not allowed to eat food on the displays."
Luka looked up to see an employee, a few years older than him, standing beside him and looking down at him with furrowed brows. He kept his gaze on the employee, placing his bag of chips aside, and gave the employee a death glare.
"I dare you to try and move me from here."
Luka kept his glare on the employee and he watched as the employee gulped and shifted with uneasiness in his eyes.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you. Please enjoy your time shopping." And with that, the employee turned and walked off.
Watching the employee disappear amongst the crowd, Luka returned into a comfortable position and let the mechanics of the massage chair do its work. No way in hell he'd let someone take him away for a moment of comfort. If he was going to survive the rest of the shopping, he was going to need all the meditation and patience to make it back it out of there. And survive the inner child that was Adrien Agreste.
