WHO: Dietre and Francis.
WHAT: After overhearing Dietre and Glory discussing him, Francis decides he needs to get serious about being nicer.
WHERE: Francis' house.
WHEN: Sunday, December 12
RATING: PG?
The morning had been snowy, and the weather forecast was calling for rain later in the day, so Francis wanted to take advantage of the break in precipitation and head to the grocery store. That meant pouring over his list to make sure everything he needed was on it. Francis was usually pretty good at remembering to write stuff on the list as he ran out of things, or had an idea for a meal he wanted to make, but there was nothing more annoying than returning from the store and realizing something had been forgotten. There was no harm in double-checking.
His eyes paused on a handwriting that wasn't his own toward the bottom of the list. It wasn’t unusual to see, which is exactly what made him feel strange in the moment as he realized he was actually getting used to Dietre living with him. Francis reflected on that for some time where he stood, staring unseeingly at the list on the counter top in front of him. He wondered idly how it would feel once Dietre moved out and this whole thing was behind him.
Once Francis resumed checking his list and finished, he folded it and slipped it into his breast pocket before heading, not for the front hall to get his coat, but toward the stairs so he could tell Dietre he was going out. He knocked when he reached the door.
"Hey, Dietre. I'm going to the grocery store," he said, not bothering to wait for the kid to open the door so they could speak face to face. That would usually be the part where he turned and left, but this time he hesitated. "Do you want to come?"
