Asher wasn't prepared to be tackled so when he was he fell back on to the ground with Shouki on top of him. "Okay, okay." He said with a smile. Ye didn't mean upset Shouki that badly, but it had been somewhat fun. Asher started to seriously think about it for a while. He didn't know what he wanted to eat or what sounded good, but it wasn't like he was going to get a choice in the matter. "Umm...How about some type of soup?" Soup was always good and there was plenty of different types that Shouki could make.

Shouki wasn't amused to say the least with Asher's answer, so Asher got tackled. So now, Shouki is pretty much laying on top of Asher. "Um....well...I'd probably have to get some stuff for it. Would you want to go with me or stay here to get the the stuff for it?" He doesn't want to leave him here unless he wants to stay here. It's up to Asher. "I wish I had bought some stuff the other day." But too late now.

Asher didn't mind that he had gotten tackled he knew he probably deserved it. He didn't think Shouki would just tackle him for no reason anyway. "Well...I guess." He wasn't sure it would be the best thing for him to go out and about, but he didn't want to stay. He knew that if his mother caught Shouki alone it wouldn't be as civil. So, he was going to go out with him. "Sorry, if I'm making you go out of your way." He said ruffling his hair a bit. He didn't mean to and he doubted Shouki would be talked out of it now.

"Okay." Shouki kind of chirps before getting off of Asher and helping him up. "Let's go then." He just smiles. "It's not a big deal anyway. Eventually I would have to go grocery shopping again. I'd eventually run out of food and have to go. So either way, I need to go." He leans up and kisses Asher. "So it's all good." Then he tugs on Asher a bit in the direction of out and where they need to go.

Asher smiles up at Shouki taking his help to get up. "Well, aren't you in a hurry now?" He said jokingly. "Well, I figured that much, but now you have to feed two. So, make sure you make me work for my food." He didn't want to be a leech now that he was going to be with Shouki. He wasn't to help as much as he could though he didn't know exactly how much that would be. Asher kisses Shouki back smiling at him afterwards. "I'm coming, I'm coming." He said going the direction that he was being pulled.

"Well, the sooner we get everything done, the sooner I can cook...and the sooner we can eat." Shouki logic is a go! "But that's no problem! I usually make extra anyway. So it's not that much more food I'll be buying." He wants to take care of Asher a bit at least. It's a kind of instinctual thing for him. He wants to give others what he didn't get fully. Though he can understand where Asher is coming from too. "So...what kind of soup do you want?"

"Yeah, but geesh give me a little time, okay?" He was joking again, but he really was not so worried about getting food that quickly. He could wait a while he wasn't going to complain or anything. He was the one in fact being a somewhat burden. "Well, I'm happy I won't be that big of a pain, but still don't let me be a leech." He didn't want Shouki doing everything when Asher was perfectly capable of doing things too. "No, I picked the type of food. You can choose the kind." He wanted Shouki to have some type of say in it. He didn't have to pamper Asher to make him happy. He was happy enough being around Shouki.

Shouki is kind of bouncing a bit. "I know, but...I'm hungry too!" His stomach makes a loud noise in agreement. "I don't see the problem. Other people should help people. If someone's hurting or needs something, people should help them and neither should think about the leech thing." He puffs his cheeks a bit. "But I don't know what type of soup you like! Bits of meat in it...or veggies? And some people just like the broth. Some like some noodles in their soup. So you tell me what you want."

Asher laughs a bit at Shouki and how he is acting right now. "Okay, I'll try to hurry up." He said holding his hands up in the air. Asher sighed a bit he didn't seem to be getting anywhere with the argument. That was even if you could call it an argument at this point. "Fine." Shouki was going to do what he liked and Asher was just going to try and help when he could if he could. Asher shakes his head at Shouki. "You choose and if I don't like it I'll tell you." It was that easy because he didn't want it to all be about him. He'd had enough of that at his own home to last a life time.

"Good. Because I'm hungry if you couldn't tell." And then they start heading to the store. Yep, Asher can't win this one. Shouki doesn't see it as anyone mooching. Asher is there. That's enough payment for him. He just leans over and kisses Asher. "You're my guest....at least one day we can do what you want." Maybe not every day, but for today we can. "Well, I need to know before I buy the stuff. Not later." He kind of nudges Asher with his head.

"I noticed." Asher chuckled. He followed Shouki as he started to head to the store. Asher smiled and shook his head when Shouki yet again was going to get his way. He didn't think he was going to win very many things with him. Asher thought about it for a moment and then sighed. "I guess vegetable soup sounds good." He hadn't had that in a while so that would be fine with him. There he had done what he was asked to, but some how he doubted that would be the end of it.

"Good deal then." Shouki kind of bounces, very happily, along the way to the store. It's not Asher losing and Shouki winning. It's them both winning. Shouki gets food and Shouki doesn't make food Asher won't like. They all win in this case, "Okay then." Shouki just goes around getting the ingredients. No canned soup right now. He can make more for less if he does it this way. So he grabs various vegetables and other things before going to pay for it. "Let's go." Shouki is just so happy right now. Asher is here....and not for a really short visit. That's enough to make him extremely happy.

Asher's happy enough that Shouki is and it isn't really that big of a deal as long as Shouki doesn't make it a habit. He could deal with it if it wasn't an every time thing. Asher follows Shouki around the store as he gets the things he needs. He can't really be much of a help because he doesn't know how to cook or what is needed so he just stays out of the way. Asher nods and follows after him.

Shouki is like uber-happy. It's ultimate happiness right now. After he checks out and pays for the food he hand Asher a bag. "Do you mind carrying this?" Shouki doesn't like carrying everything, but will. But there's another person with arms that can carry something. Then they head home and Shouki starts cooking. "I hope you like it when it's done." He chirps a bit. "If you don't, you have to tell me why so I can make it better next time."

Asher follows Shouki through the check out as he pays for everything that he has bought. "No, I don't mind." He said taking the bag he was offered. It actually made him feel somewhat useful since he hadn't done anything helpful since he woke up. Asher carries the bag back to Shouki's home and sets it down in the kitchen watching Shouki. He wasn't surprised that the first thing he did was begin to cook the food. "Of course, I doubt I'll dislike it though." He said as began to take things out of the bag and place them on Shouki's counter. "Do you want me to put somethings away for you?"

Shouki just smiles a bit. "Thank you." He hates carrying all the bags, but he has to when he's alone. But he's not now...so Asher can carry a bag or two-depending on what Shouki bought. When he starts cooking, his tail starts wagging a bit. He enjoys cooking, but he enjoys it more when he has someone to cook for. It gives him more of a reason to do so. He just gets the food he needs for this soup. "Um...just put the rest wherever, long as it isn't hidden. Long as I can find it, I'm happy." He just goes back to cooking.

"You're welcome." Asher says happy that he could help just a little bit. He picks up a few things and begins to put them away. He makes sure to put them where Shouki would be able to find them. Asher smiles when he catches a glimpse of Shouki and how happy he was cooking. Asher shook his head a little and went back to finishing what he had been doing. He couldn't just stop to watch Shouki when he had things that needed to be done. When he finished with that he brushed his hands off on his jeans and turned to leave the kitchen. "I'll leave the rest to you." He said waving as he walked out and sat down in the other room. He didn't need to be hovering over Shouki's back anyway. He closed his eyes resting a bit as he waited for Shouki to finish.

Shouki just smiles at Asher a bit. He would be a house wife...minus the cleaning and the female part. He hates cleaning...so he prefers to keep things clean from the get go. It's easier than cleaning. After awhile Shouki goes to Asher with a spoon of soup-with his hand underneath it. "Hey, Asher, try this first." If it's good, it's done. If it isn't, he'll work on it more. He doesn't mind either way. He wants Asher to like it, otherwise it is a fail on his part.

Asher opens up his eyes when he hears Shouki close to him. He looks up at him and then at the spoon of soup in his hand. Asher smiles as he sits up a bit so he is able to take a sip of the soup from the spoon. It's hot, but other than that Asher smiles and nods his head. "It taste wonderful." He had known it was going to though, but Shouki wanted it to be perfect. "So..Does that mean it's time to eat?" He yawned as he stretched his limbs out a bit. He hadn't thought he would be that tired since he had slept before they had left.

"I want you to try it." Shouki's tail is still wagging a bit. He just smiles at what Asher says. "Good deal then! And yep. That means time to eat." He disappears into the kitchen, getting bowels and spoons-filling up the bowls, not all the way because something would get spilled other wise. He just comes back and puts the bowl (and spoon) on a table. "That one's yours. And there's plenty of extra too." Then he goes back to get his food and joins Asher.

Asher sits up before he moves closer to the table. He smiled as he watched Shouki go about his business getting their food for them. Normally he would have fought with him and gotten it himself, but that would have been a lost cause. He hadn't been doing to well with his attempts at getting his way. "Thanks." He said when Shouki set down the bowl on the table. He picked up the spoon getting the a spoonful of soup.

Good deal because Asher would have probably lost this one too. Shouki doesn't see food as big deal. It keeps you alive, but it's a simple thing to do. And besides, he knows where the bowls and stuff are. "No problem." He sits down next to Asher, starting to munch with his tail still wagging a bit. "I'm glad you're here....not necessarily how it happened though....but I'm happy you're here!" Up and then down and back to up again is pretty much how his voice goes.

Asher kind of shrugs about it. It wasn't so much a big deal to him at the moment. He knew it was going to have to happen sometime because he couldn't just let his mother rule his life. Though he was aware the fact he still loved he and was going to miss her. "I'm happy to be here..Don't worry too much about it. It was going to happen sometime." He began to eat the soup slowly. He smiled in between bites at how excited it seemed Shouki was about all this. He was excited himself, but Shouki showed it physically.

Shouki is just really happy to not be alone anymore and it's ASHER with him. That's even better than just anyone being there. So yeah, he's just a little bit excited. At least he isn't a little puppy. There would be accidents all over the place. "Well....I still wish it could've been different." Like Asher's mother realize the truth. Asher has to leave someday and be a grown up and everything. Whenever Asher finishes his soup, "Do you want some more?" Shouki has already finished his-he just hasn't got up to get more yet.

Asher looks up at Shouki when he is finished with his soup. "No, I'll be fine for now. Thanks." He said shaking his head. He isn't hungry enough to be up for seconds. "I do too, but I change that now...Maybe we can work it out later." It wasn't like he couldn't find her later in his life and change things or attempt to. Then maybe things can be right between Shouki and his mother. "I'm sure I'll have some later though." He'd be hungry later he knew that much.
