"See you later." Joey waved a bit and huddled up against Sol's side, finishing off his coffee with a soft sigh. "It's sweet that your sister cares about you so much. They seem nice."

“She’s a great sister,” Sol agreed with a smile. “And Alistar is perfect for her, they balance each other well.” He sighed, leaning back more comfortably. Sol loved his sister, but he had not been as prepared as he thought for that encounter. “I definitely think she liked you, estello.”

Joey smiled softly and huddled closer to Sol. "Well, that's good to hear. Hopefully you're right; I want your friends and family and stuff to like me."

“How could they not like you?” Sol smiled, resting an arm behind Joey along the back of the booth. “She would have been even more… intimidating if she disliked you right off the bat.”

"Well, I'm glad she wasn't more intimidating…" Joey sighed softly, closing his eyes as he relaxed. "She was scary enough as is, honestly. Who else do I need to meet?"

Sol laughed softly. “Yeah, she can be absolutely terrifying. I pity anyone she dislikes,” he said. “And maybe you could meet my friend Fallon? He’s out of town right now, though. Besides him, there’s not really anyone else that I’m close enough to.”

"Yeah, sure. That sounds good to me." Joey yawned and got to his feet, stretching. "Should we head back to your apartment now?" He asked.

Sol got up after Joey and nodded. “Sure. Would you mind if we stopped by the store first? I need to grab a couple things,” he replied.

"Hmm?" Joey glanced up at Sol. "Oh, sure. What do you need to get?" He asked, taking Sol's hand as he walked.

“Just some regular things, juice, oatmeal, fruit and the like. Plus some cleaning stuff,” Sol answered, threading their fingers together.

Joey nodded a bit, humming happily as he walked beside Sol. "Sounds good to me. I think I was low on something as well, but I can't remember what it is…"

“We can walk around a bit and see if you remember,” Sol offered as they neared the car. He went to open Joey’s door first and waited until he got in before going around to get behind the wheel.

"Alright." Joey got into the car, thanking Sol softly as he buckled himself in. "I don't think it was anything particularly exciting…"

Sol shrugged, starting the car and reaching over to hold his hand. “We’ll look around.”

Joey nodded a bit, lacing his fingers with Sol's with a happy hum. He watched out the window until they arrived at the store.

Sol quickly parked and went around to get Joey’s door. His habit of getting doors was, partly, chivalry, but also a way of guarding him. “Okay, let’s head in and grab a cart,” he said with a smile.

"Okay!" Joey didn't seem to mind Sol opening the door for him, simply holding onto his hand as soon as he was able. He looked around the store once they were inside, trying to remember what it was that he needed to buy.

“Can we head over to the cleaning aisle first?” Sop asked, pushing a cart with one hand and holding Joey’s with the other.

"Yeah, sure!" Joey followed Sol closely, holding a bit tighter to his hand. "I think I need paper towels anyway."

Sol hummed, glancing over at Joey as they headed down the cleaning aisle. “Thought of what you needed yet?” he asked as they put things in the cart

Joey shook his head a bit. "No, not yet…" He grabbed some paper towels and put them on the cart. "Why can't I remember what I need?" He huffed a bit, trying to think.

“Maybe we could stop by each department to try to jog your memory?” Sop offered. “Was it a kitchen or bathroom item?”

Joey considered for a few seconds before he jolted a bit. "Bandages! I think it was bandages. I noticed I was low on them when I was looking through the cabinet the other day."

Sol hummed, brow furrowing slightly. “Well, we can get some,” he said. “Do you need very many? I have some at home, too.”

"Um… probably not like, a ton, but I'll get a roll of them or something." Joey shrugged a bit. "I could probably use some Band-Aids too…"
