“Why are you recording me?” Damian asked, reaching for Marinette’s phone. “You know I prefer not to be recorded in public.”
“We are playing catch. Everything you catch and don’t drop, I’ll buy.”
They had already picked everything they were buying and Damian really didn’t feel like making a game of it.
“I can afford everything we have easily. Even the things you consider splurges.”
He was going to continue on with this but he stopped as her mouth turned into a pout. She turned away and tried to hide it but he had already seen it.
“It’s fine. I’ll turn the camera off.” her laugh came out forced. “Jason promised to buy all the fabric on my wishlist if I got video of you dropping something.”
She was making a joke but he could tell she really wanted to play. He didn’t know why, but it was hard to deny her. Especially when Jason had made a challenge. He might just buy everything on her wishlist anyway.
“I will not cede defeat to Jason. Let’s see what you have.”
Marinette started off easy with the pillow on the top of the cart. It was an easy shot but she still smiled when he caught it.
He probably would have played just for her smile.
They continued in the direction of the register. Damian had caught everything even if she tried to make it hard. Once they had gotten separated by a couple carts and he was around the corner but he still reached back and caught the game controller. He gave her a look at throwing something fragile. It had only needed replacing because she had knocked down the last one and been damaged.
His arms were full and the cart was now empty.
He no longer needed to worry about when she might throw the next things. She had picked up her phone and was turning off the video before they went to pay.
He smiled to himself, knowing that there was still no way he would let her pay. He barely registered her call out to him.
“Catch!”
He didn’t see what it was but on instinct, he moved and caught the small box on top of the pile of other things.
“You thought you had me but now you have to buy me the,” he glanced down at the small box, “quick result pregnancy test?”
He looked back up at her. She was biting her lip, clearly nervous about his reaction. It took only a moment for what he looked at and said to register with him.
He no longer cared about anything. He dropped the pile of things carelessly and reached out for her. He pulled her to him and kissed away all her concern.
“Really?” he asked.
Her eyes were worried but her nervous smile was looking more excited.
“I’m pretty sure.”
He lifted her and spun her around, not caring about anything else. Then he let her slide down just enough for him to be able to reach her lips again. He held the back of her head and kissed her breathless, not even wondering whether she had ever stopped recording.
