The grocery store was both Adam’s favorite and least favorite place. While he enjoyed the comfortable solace, where he remained primarily in practical thought, he often found he’d lose himself halfway through. It was a deeply unpleasant feeling, and he wasn’t sure why it was starting to happen so frequently. Stood in the baking aisle, he looks over the flours, “Why are there so many kinds of flours?” he asks, aloud, to no one in particular, “How can there be a purpose for all of these?” he asks. It was tremendously difficult for him to speak, but it seemed like it would be weird to remain silent.

“I don’t know, honestly.” Bellamy spoke, as he came up beside him. He was sure that the question wasn’t addressed towards him, but he was definitely in a friendly mood. “I just pick whatever sounds right and then hope my girlfriend likes overcooked or burnt food.” He let out a laugh.

“We have our ups and downs, but of course I’m happy with our relationship! I just hope she feels the same way.”

Jordyn had regretted the way her and Bellamy had left things, but she was just too stubborn to reach out to him first. So for the first couple days of the tour, the two of them didn’t really talk other than a few short texts. She hated when they fought like this, especially since things had been going so good since she moved back, but he had hurt her feelings. Getting to go on tour with Delilah was a huge opportunity for her and she had thought that he would have been more understanding about that.

Her phone lit up next to her, indicating that Bellamy was trying to facetime her. Part of her didn’t want to answer it, but she knew ignoring him wasn’t going to fix this either. So, she answered the call, a small forced smile on her face as her boyfriend appeared on the screen, “hey you,” she greeted him. She then brought her shoulders up into a small shrug, “it’s not bad. It’s a lot of work, so I’m pretty exhausted, but it’s been fun” she said, nodding her head a little. She looked down at her lap for a second before bringing her eyes back up to the screen, “how have things back home been? I really miss you, you know..”

It was really good to see her face. Of course, nothing could beat having her near, but he was glad to see that she was doing okay. Now that a few days had settled between them and their last argument, Bellamy wasn’t honestly genuinely invested in how everything was going, but he knew that all the questions he had at the moment might seem negative considering that he wasn’t as supportive as he could have been when she left. 

“I really miss you, too.” A small glimpse of a smile grew on his lips. “I’m glad to hear you’re having fun. I had no doubt that you would.” He cleared his throat, his eyes glancing away for a moment, before he looked back at the screen. “I’m sorry.” He spoke softly but clearly. 

“Oh no, don’t worry. He’s not the one who bites. I am,” Kris remarked. With their bored expression, it was almost impossible to tell they were joking. A blink and you miss it smirk betrayed them. Chewbacca was sitting at their feet, more than happy to have attention at the park. Not so fearsome for a Wookie. “His drool is deadly poisonous so I’d be careful.”

Bellamy was out with his roommate’s dog, the intention was to take a short walk, but he ended up at the park. There was so much on his mind that he was kind of just letting his feet guide him at the moment. “Are you sure? I mean, I won’t sue you if he does bite. I’ll just be very upset that I’ve been poisoned.” He joked, sitting down next to them, to take a break.

“So I decided I wanted to start putting myself out there more this year. You know, maybe meet someone. So, I downloaded Tinder and well… Let’s just say so far it’s been a disaster” he said with a small sigh, “I asked one guy where he lived so we could meet, and he just responded with ‘I live in the moment’” Gabriel said, shaking his head. “What kind of response is that??” he let out another sigh, “why is it so hard to just meet someone who is… well, normal.”

Bellamy couldn’t help but laugh, choking a little on his drink. “He said he lived in the moment?” He put his glass down, still chuckling softly. “That’s a great line, Gabe. You should appreciate his effort.” Obviously he was only teasing his friend. “I heard all the normal people go on the sites that you have to pay for.”

“I can’t imagine meeting anyone who I love as much as I love her and while we’re still very young, I’d really like to hope she’s the one.”

“I like to get everything on my Chipotle burrito and I mean everything.”

“If I hear one more person tell me their new year resolution, I may pull out my hair,” the blonde rolled her eyes as she adjusted her coat. “We all know that the resolutions magically disappear and become forgotten within a week anyway. What’s the point of making one?”

“Are you...Are you calling me out? You didn’t even go for an indirect post on twitter, you just went straight for it. Right to my face.” He acted as if he was offended, before he let out a chuckle. “Within a few weeks though? You give people too much credit. It’s more like a few days.”

“You’re surprisingly easy to keep surprises from” she teased slightly as she let out a small laugh. Of course she was lying. Ever since she had bought the tickets to come she had wanted to tell him but she knew it would have been so much better to surprise him, and she had been right. She hooked her arm with his as they made their way into the park. She knew how badly he had always wanted to come here so she was glad she finally had the money to do it. Jordyn let out another small laugh as she looked up at him. His excitement was a lot more obvious than he thought it was, but she decided to not comment on it and let him believe what he wanted. “Oh hush, I have you and that alone is much better than any trip” she told him with a sweet smile as she hugged herself into his side slightly. “Don’t even comment on how cheesey that is. Just let me have it” she commented with a small laugh. Once they finally got past the crowded entrance, they stopped so they could figure out where to go first, “So do you want to go straight to making your inner nerd happy and go get our wands?” she asked, “or do you want to keep up the cool guy thing a little more and go ride a few rides?” she asked in a teasing tone. 

He placed a hand over his chest with a fake hurt expression etched across his face. “That was hurtful.” Bellamy let out a short chuckle, his little act ending just as soon as he started it. He was going to tease her and he was sure that the smile on his face was a clear indication of that, but he kept it to himself for now. “First off, I am a cool guy.” He huffed jokingly. “We should get our wands though!” He pumped his fist up in the air excitedly. “I hope a bunch of five year olds are ready to get pushed aside. What do they need wands for? They can’t go to Hogwarts.” Honestly, Bellamy had no idea how the park was laid out, but he took Jordyn’s hand and began to rush in the direction he thought it was in.

“If it snows this week, so help me god, I will hibernate. I will shut down my restaurant and rich, whiny, Upper West Siders will just have to shut up about it, because I will not dredge myself across New York City streets for snow. No siree! I refuse.” Patty took a sip of his beer, frowning. “I mean, wouldn’t you?”

“Umm....” Bellamy didn’t say anything for awhile, as he thought about that scenario. “Rain, sleet, snow, or hail that will never stop the mail. So I don’t think it should stop the meal either. But would I personally go out in the snow if I didn’t have to or want to. Nah. Probably not.”
