Shopping with acquaintances (Jesse)
Charlie was a good partner. A very good partner. Oddly enough he'd make this sort of trip even if he and his partner hadn't become so very close. He cared for her, and was more than willing to take on any task she might have. He was up to the challenge. Thankfully, this particular challenge would have a very happy ending...eventually.

Jennifer had said that she needed some things from the store, and realizing he did as well, he'd offered to pick up whatever she might need. She hesitated at first, but the way he just nudged her now and then about it, she finally relented. When he finally got the list, he read over it and then nodded. He'd have it for her that evening when he came over. Yes, sometimes he stayed at her place, so it really wasn't that difficult. Of course, he added a few things to the list that he thought she might appreciate.

He stood in front of the boxes and stared. He wasn't lost in which one to get, so much as thinking about the varieties that were available.

"They don't taste like strawberries." He held one box in his hand, not at all ashamed of how it might sound. "And, do you really need glow in the dark?"

Jesse was at the store to get a few things for Zoe. There were some things that he didn't mind getting. He'd already gotten them. Different cough medicines to try being at the top of that list. More tissues. Those things were fine. Perfectly fine. The bottom of the list, he wasn't so keen on.

So he went to go get something else first. It was a thing that he wasn't embarrassed of at all. Technically, he supposed, he could stop such things of his own will, but it went into the dabbling around with life too much. He also didn't know how Zoe would feel about it if he told her he'd just decided it wouldn't happen. She hadn't taken other decisions of that nature too well.

He recognized the man sharing the isle with him immediately. The hair alone would have been a dead giveaway, but the fact that Jesse recalled Charlie's posture and the way he moved helped.

Jesse grinned to himself, his eyes glancing over the choices. The whole vast wall of choices.

"Sometimes, glow in the dark can be fun." He grinned some more. "If yer in a real dark room, and it's the only way she knows where ya are..."

"But it's not necessary if you know what you're doing." Charlie didn't say why he might not like being in a room so dark that the only way to know where someone was was a glow in the dark bit of latex. He still had issues he had to overcome. He looked at all the choices, putting the box of strawberry flavor back where he'd found it.

"It's like watching a glow stick getting worked over" Or so he imagined. Charlie had seen some interesting things in his time, and it was possible in at least one bust he might have seen just that.

"There are more here than I thought possible. I'm certain that there were only half of these back in my world." He looked at one box not touching it. "Snozzberries? Purple and tastes like snozzberries." He leaned over to actually sniff the box. There was a scratch and sniff sticker on it.
