Chapter Text
The supermarket across the street wasn’t all that big but it was enough to supply them for the next two months or so. Akashi would gladly buy the groceries himself but he knew how much Kuroko hated not being able to pay his share of the food expenses. Therefore, Kuroko usually tagged along to split the bill. Well, that was one of the reasons anyway.
As Akashi pushed the trolley along the cereal aisle, he sighed and came to a stop. A normal person wouldn’t have noticed Kuroko but Akashi could practically sense him.
Akashi turned around and said, “Kuroko, for the last time, we are not getting the heart-shaped tofu cutter.”
“But-”
“No. Put it back and just take what is necessary. For you.”
Holding the cutter tightly in his hands, Kuroko said with pure determination, “I need it.”
“What for?”
“To cut tofu.”
Akashi refrained from facepalming himself.
Taking one small step closer towards Akashi, Kuroko tilted his head, softened his eyes and purposely whispered, “Please?”
‘It’s a trick. He did this before with that dog’s diamond collar. There is no way I’m going to eat heart-shaped tofus.’
They had heart-shaped tofus that night. And during ongoing meals as well. Akashi swore to declare it missing someday. Someday.
