“I really don’t know if I could go on to a new job.” Sam looked over the selection of meats and fish. “I might go back to school, that might help me get a better job.” He pointed to some of the sausages that they had on sale. “I will take two of those and three of…” he looked over the display case again. “Of those sets of chicken.” The chicken was pre-herbed and ready to be cooked. Turning to Fate he smiled. “What do you usually like for dinner…” then a thought came to mind. “Would you like to eat with me each night? I like cooking and have no one to cook for.”

Fate smiled widely. "That's the spirit.Just because you dug yourself into a hole doesn't mean you can't dig yourself out."

"Ah..I'm not really picky, or alergic to anything..I have been craving chili, though, so there's an idea..I'm not sure what else..Maybe a stir fry dish or something? i'm not used to good cooking anymore, college has limited my diet to ramen or pizza, pretty much." He laughed.

Sam smiled, he was happy that he would have someone to cook for now. Not like his mother would be happy but it had been a few years since last she asked if he had a girlfriend. “I am taking that as a yes.” Taking the meat that Tony had wrapped up for him he put it in his bag. “It has been a while since I made chili but I do make a good one.” leading him through the ales Sam grabbed different things that were needed for Chili. “Do you mind helping pay for the food?”

"Ah, yeah, Sorry, I get kind of excited about good food, I'm amazed I'm as thin as I am." Fate blushed a bit. "Yeah, of course I can..I could use some milk and simple things like that for my own apartment, we can split the bill in half." He said, grinning happily.

(Oh gawd Fate is so cute sometimes. has sometimes forgets he's not a mortal, obviously. 8D he completely falls into his mortal personality and the result is adorable)

“We all suffer from bad food after the first few years of us being away from family.” Picking up a carton of milk Sam held it out for Fate to look at it. It was a whole milk, but was organic as well. “Will this do or do you like the other ones.” He sounded a bit disgusted at the thought of him drinking two present let along one. “Splitting the bill works for me. If you would like latter I can just come down here with your shopping list and get what we need.”

(if he does not keep up appearances then Sam will start thinking something is off with this man.)

"Nah, this is great." Fate smiled, and put the carton into the cart. "Better than what I had to drink in college..My roommate was lactose intolerant, so we could only have soy milk..Not bad tasting, but it wasn't milk."

"That'd be great, but I think I'd prefer coming with you, I hate being cooped up in my room constantly, starts to drive me nuts..Even if it rains I like taking a walk every day, even if I walked back and forth to and from work or whatever already."

“I think it is better to get it as close as you can to nature then having things taken out of it.” Smiling Sam picked up a second carton for himself. “If I could I would get it direct from the farm but there are none in the area that will sell it to the public.” Picking up some lunch foods he set them in the cart as well.
“Yah I can understand, usually I make a stop here before coming home unless I forget but it would be nice to have you along.” Looking down he tried to hide the blush that started on his cheek. He did not know why he was blushing but he really did not want Fate to see it.
“Do you have your eye on any of the companies around here?”

"I haven't had whole milk in a long time..Nice change of pace, definately.My mom only got it sometimes, stopped when she was trying to lose weight..It's not like she was very much overweight, like 10 pounds.I'll never understand women who freak out about that when they look fine." He sighed.

"Always nice to have a friend with you..Unless you can't stand the music I listen to." Fate laughed. "Not really any specific ones, but I know of a few that are interesting..Nice companies that don't have a risk of getting gigantic. I don't like that idea, honestly..If I could make a living selling my games as indie games, or being in a small team of indie game creators that'd be great, but that's just crazy talk, unless you can somehow get your game put onto a big console as a downloadable thing..Are you blushing?That's really cute, if you don't mind me being really really gay for a moment."

“You know I have heard that you really don’t lose that much weight cutting out the fat in natural foods. It’s the heavily processed ones that we should cut the fat out of.” His blush grew worse at Fate saying it was cute.
“It’s alright you allowed to be gay if that is the way you are.” He had gone back to looking down as he talked again. Every once in a while he looked out at Fate from the corners of his eyes. Why was he feeling this way, what was it about Fate that made his heart flutter like it was. Sam chewed on his lip trying to not think about Fate, but little thoughts kept pushing their way in to his mind. Part of him wanted to reach out and feel if he really was there or if he was just some one Sam was imagining.

"I tried to convince her that, but she never listened.." Fate chuckled.

"I am, actually.." His pale cheeks went light red. "I guess any compliments on your appearance are now deemed as me hitting on you, huh..Oh well..I'm not stupid enough to try and start such a serious relationship this close to our first time even knowing each other exist, but you ARE quite attractive. I can't stop looking into your eyes..Our meeting has trulty been fate..Haha, pun on my name."

Sam smiled shyly at the comment about their meeting being fate. “I have never had a gay friend before, I once knew a guy that thought he was bi but that did not seem likely as he only went out with women even when he had a hot guy hitting on him.” looking quickly up at fate he looked back to the floor. It was weird to be standing here in front of the cheese and talking about being gay and complements. “There was one of them that had I been Bi I would have gone out with him.”

"You're not? God, I feel awkward now." Fate blushed. "I thought you were, honestly, I don't know how a guy like you can't be a gift to us gay men from the heavens..We maybe should start walking again." He laughed. "Before someone has to awkardly break up the conversation to get something that we're blocking."

Laughing nervously Sam started moving again. “I was raised with the knowledge that it was wrong and that men don’t do that…” Fate could hear the wavering but in there. “Yah your right we should start walking again. They might think we are trying to do something to the cheese if we don’t.” why was he feeling this way. He just could not shake it, that somehow this man was more important to his life then he or anyone else knew. “if there is nothing else that you need for lunches or breakfast we can check out.”

"Well some mothers teach their children that burnt toast is good for you, in order to not waste bread.And that's not true." Fate laughed. "I could use some fruit..Some apples for my lunches and bananas for breakfast..I love organic bananas so much you have no idea..I have quite the sweet tooth." He lightly flushed.

“I know, my family was odd but they were my family and I do love them.” leading Fate to where the fruit was Sam sighed. “I think the main reason I have not thought to take a male lover is I was never good with trying to win females and I don’t want my family disappointed in me.” Looking over the bananas he found a bunch that looked just right. “Here you go they should become sweeter so that by the end of the week they are almost too sweet.”

"Ah, thanks." Fate said, taking the bananas and putting them in the cart. "Perfect number, too..My family knows, but they're not ashamed of me..My dad is, but he doesn't count anymore.He's kind of a jerk. Well, not just kind of. the best thing I ever got from him was my haircolor. Plus, I don't think your family should much care, you're an adult, you should have full control fo what you like and dislike..And if your problem with women has to do with your eyes, those women are crazy."

“No it’s not my eyes.” He blushed again; he really did not know what to think of this man’s interest in his eyes. “It’s just I am not that good at flirting with them, or anyone for that matter.” He looked up at Fate through his eyelashes. “And well it just feels like I am betraying them or something when I think about a man like that.” Gahhhhh what am I saying, why am I telling him this. He does not want to know that I have thought of becoming bi over half my life.

"You shouldn't feel like that..If you lovve someone, don't feel sorry that some woman out there won't have a baby with you.That's just silly.And if that's the reason, you can always adopt.In my opinion the next generation is going to be large enough with all these teen pregnancies going on in the world, I don't need to add any to it." He laughed.He picked out 5 apples and tied up the plastic bag they were in, and put it in the cart."Ready to go if you are."

“Could….could we not talk about it now?” turning away from Fate Sam quickly mover to the checkout line. He wanted to say that he would love to go out and do stuff with fate some time but that was just wrong. He had only just met the guy and already he was thinking of things that just were not done in his family. He had to pass on the family name, and maybe his eyes. Looking coyly at Fate from the side of his eyes, Sam sighed. This was not what he had thought of when he had invited him to come along for shopping. “sorry its just…..”

"Alright, fine." Fate smiled. "I won't talk about it fi it makes you uncomfortable.Just making conversation.Just know you can always come to me if you want to talk, alright?" The man said, walking to the checkout with Sam. "Didn't mean to make this awkward, just trying to get to know my new neighbour better.Maybe make a new friend.No harm meant."

“Yah I know, it’s just…” again he seemed to get stuck on saying what it was. Setting the food from the cart onto the conveyer belt he walked up to the casher, who happened to be one of the few other men Sam had an interest in. But Sam knew that this one only was in it for one night stands. Sam never could accept going out with a person then having sex just to leave them the next day never to see in that way again. Looking over at Fate from under his eyelashes Sam thought. Maybe he would love to go out with Josh, they seem like they would make a nice pairing for the night. Then thoughts of those two together in bed made him blush.

"I'm not trying to continue on the conversation, so shh for now alright?" Fate said, gently placing an index finger onto Sam's lips, the spot under it becoming cold, then numb almost instantly, as if all circulation left that one spot for a moment, then came right back when Fate lifted his finger, and reached into his pocket for his wallet.

As Fate placed his finger on Sam’s lips he looked up in surprise then blushed. Josh the Casher chuckled before speaking. “And here I thought I was the only one that could make him blush. Not only did you get a brighter blush form him but with less said.” Sam turned glaring at Josh.
“Shut up.” Sam muttered as he pulled out his cash. His face again looking down so that he did not have to look at other people. He hated it, he knew he was blushing but he could not help it. This whole time he had been feeling a slight blush or a full blown one.

Fate looked up at Josh then smiled. "Not that hard, really, I've been just speaking to him normally and his face keeps turning cherry red.Kind of cute, really." He said, taking aout the amount of cash he promised to pay, half of the bill, and handing it to Sam while he took his ipod out of his pocket, turned down the volume a bit and hit shuffle, then placed his headphones onto his ears, leaving one off so he could still hear what was going on.

“Yes it is quite cute, I keep telling him that he is the cuties little man I have ever seen.” Sam’s blush became bright red. Josh stood about 6’5” to Sam 5’8” and Sam hated the reminder that he was shot. “See look isn’t that the cutest?” Sam growled tossing the money down he stormed out. Josh stared after him slightly startled. “Now that is new.”
