When: Tonight!

Talking about steaks - hell food in general - made Seamus realize that he had gone way too long without a grill. So going to get a grill and steaks and whatever else they wanted to eat was more than a good idea.

"Come on!" Seamus yelled through the flat. "I'm hungry and we still need to buy everything and set up the grill and whatever else," he wasn't beyond whinging at that point.

"Deaaaaan," yep, there it was. "Meat! I need it!" he thought about how ridiculous he sounded for a moment, then laughed. "I think this is the fox coming out of me," he said to himself.

"Christ, I'd have never suggested it if I'd know you'd end up ravenous..." Dean laughed and walked out of the spare room with his shoes in his hand, sitting down on the arm of the sofa to pull them on.

"Marks should have the grill, according to that sale bill they have one that looks like a football. Sounds perfect, yeah? And we can get the steaks there too on the way out."

"The animal instincts tend to carry over into real life. When I get really hungry, part of me just wants to go out and kill something fuzzy," he laughed, shrugging his shoulders. "I've gotten used to it."

Seamus nodded his head at the football shaped grill. "Sounds perfect. Let's go before I try to eat Mac."

Which he was in no way being serious about, but it made the dog raise it's head and cock it to the side.

"Remind me never to want a pet bunny or something, yeah?" Dean laughed, but finished tying his shoes and then slung an arm around Seamus shoulder, steering him toward the door. "So, the football grill was around forty quid, if you pony up for that I'll buy some steaks and veg to go with them and all. I can't promise I'm the best grill master around, though. But I beg with your fox side you'd like them a little rare and bloody anyway, yeah?"

"I don't think I'd eat a pet bunny. My fox-self likes to "hunt game" or something. I haven't wanted to take a bite out of Mac, so I think that household pets are safe," Seamus laughed, waiting for Dean to exit the flat as well, then sealing it off with the normal locking charms.

"Yeah I can get the grill," he told Dean, almost saying that he would get everything else too, but he didn't want Dean to think he was going overboard with the help, especially after their conversation about his possible shop. Seamus knew what it meant to get back on one's feet, and he wanted to help Dean as much as he could without Dean getting insulted.

"Actually, I only do rare and bloody as a fox. I think when I'm myself, my stomach churns at the thought of more rare meat, so I usually cook it till I can't see the blood anymore. Pinkish, yes, but no blood." Which did sound weird, but he just went with what his stomach liked.

	Dean sighed, shaking his head. "Brits - " he said with a grunt, but he laughed it off, too. "Suppose I have to get used to it now that I'm home, yeah? Burnt steak and warm beer in pubs. I mean, I'm not a yank, but there's some things they do right." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Aye! I'm sure if you watch me rip apart an animal in fox form for food, when it's REALLY rare, you'll want your steak burnt too," Seamus laughed, giving Dean a playful shove.

The store wasn't too far from the flat, plus it was a nice day out, so they took the walk to Marks & Spencer, which was decently busy when they arrived. Not only was Seamus glad that, at this day in age, most Wizards were bumping about in muggle clothing, but that he had some extra quid laying around from his last trip to a muggle shop since he forgot to make a Gringott's detour.

"How are we getting this back by the way. Is there a bus that is in the area of the flat? I never pay attention cause I usually just apparate everywhere."

	"How are we getting it back?" Dean laughed at him, shoving him a little and then slinging his arm over his mate's shoulders again - mostly so he could whisper without being overheard and taken off to an asylum. "Aren't you a wizard with mad transfiguration skills? Can't you shrink something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Seamus thought for a second what Dean said then slapped his own forehead lightly. "Thank you for reminding me," he laughed.

They went straight to the home and garden section first, where loads of grills and patio furniture were on display. There were a lot of things that he'd totally get, if his patio was a tad bigger and he wouldn't look like a nutter to his neighbors if he expanded it. Plus, he really didn't want to spend extra money on things they could only use when it wasn't snowing.

"There it is," he said, pointing across the way where he spotted the box that had their grill inside. And he saw tiki torches. Which would actually fit outside on the patio...

"I'm getting tiki torches too. They're too brilliant to not get."

"We're going to end up burning down your building," Dean said, but he did let go of Seamus to cross the store and pick up the last box from the display that was shaped like a football. A proper football. "My mate James in New York had one shaped like what they call a football - never got the charcoal right in it. I told him it was because he was a wanker and that shape was blasphemy."

"At least it'll be worth it," he said matter of factly with a smirk.

Seamus ran to the front to get a buggy for their stuff, then put the grill inside, along with the torches, then started to head towards the food. He raised an eyebrow at Dean's comment, asking "their football isn't round?" He never really paid too much attention to sports, outside of Quidditch and football, so thinking that there was a different version of football made his head want to explode from the weird.

	"Sort of egg shaped. They call it football, anyway. Makes no sense at all, and the players wear so much gear it's like a cushion..." Dean shook his head. "Pansies, all of them, but they get really in to it.... where's the butcher in this place, it's huge!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohflaherty 2010-06-29 12:54 am UTC (link)
	"Protection is for gits that can't handle getting hit." Protection? Egg shaped? That version of football sounded all sorts of odd. Seamus looked up for a sign to point them in the right direction but didn't see anything specific. "Dunno. Let's just keep on walking, we'll run into it eventually right?"

	"Guess so," Dean said with a shrug, heading back toward the back of the shop where it would be in the supermarkets he was more used to now. "If you think that sounds weird, mate, you should see a Quodpot game." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ohflaherty 2010-06-29 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Seamus followed Dean to the back of the shop and saw a sign ahead that said "Butcher". At least they weren't having to walk around the place for hours. "What in the world is Quodpot?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	inkeddean 2010-06-29 04:16 am UTC (link)
	Finding the right vegetables was likely going to be harder. They had signs that said 'butcher' - no one had signs that said 'Asparagus this way.' "It's the Yanks answer to Quidditch. They play Quidditch over there, but it's not really popular. Quodpot is... well, the rules are confusing as hell, but the quaffle explodes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

When they got to the butcher, Seamus was surprised that there was no line, so he walked right up and asked for two slabs of steak. No need to overbuy for the two of them, and they were decently large steaks. He thanked the butcher and put them in the buggy, then turned to look for the vegetables.

"It explodes?! No way. Now that is something I have got to see live."

	"Aye, the game makes no sense at all, really, but it's defintiely something to see." Dean banged his shoulder against Seamus', but then disappeared when he saw the vegetables. It wasn't half an hour later they were back at the flat. Which posed a new problem - setting up the damned grill. (Reply to this) (Parent)
