Grocery shopping. It was apart of a human's everyday livelihood. One had to supply their home with food to eat so, going to the grocery store for these supplies was essential. However, when one such cowboy and his candy corn son entered the building, it seemed like the often well mannered child turned into something of a terror.
First he wasn't very good at being made to sit in the buggy. That was often the beginning of his terrorizing. Kicking and screaming, often with repeated mantras of "Let out let out let out!" Eventually, Xan would become frustrated enough to let the boy out. Where he would follow silently behind his guardian.
The next on the list was pulling things off the shelf and tossing them in the basket without asking. This usually was indicated by the child that he liked said item but Thanatos was not the kind of man to take orders from a child especially his own. Replacing these items on the shelves got the usual screaming and crying which fell on def ears... at least Xan's.
The store patrons were running on their last limit of patience for Puck's terrorizing ways. Xan himself but he wasn't going to scream at the child in public. Not with all kinds of child service laws and nosy individuals floating about. No instead he let the boy run his course... and run he did.
Slipping out of sight and straight for the toy section where he played somewhat quietly too himself. Currently making sound effects to some monster trucks and army figurines that were fighting an imaginary war! "Beeeeewwwweeee!!!"

One of the worst things Anthony could endure. Shopping. Whether it be clothes or food, it was a pain the rear end. It was hard enough going around buying cat food and regular food, but now... He had a kid. Not a calm collected one at that. With a set of boots kicking him in the knees every minute or so, fingers pointing to random food items and a tug to his shirt every now and again, it makes it hard for one to stay collected as well...
"Okay, Nes." Anthony began, trying to sound as calm as possible. "Why don't you get out of the cart, and help me find some cat food for Seraph. okay?" Anthony said as he lifted the coffee pocky boy out the the squeaky metal cart and onto the floor. Nes looked up to his father with large golden eyes. This was a big responsibility for him since it was the first time he went cat food shopping with his dad. He had to do this right! For his dad and for Seraph the Turkish Van waiting anxiously at home.
"GOT IT DAD!" He said before taking off like a rocket around the corner before Anthony told him what brand and flavour to buy. But most importantly, where the cat food was. In a frantic dash, Anthony turned the corner where he saw the brown haired boy run off to. Without luck, the boy was gone. Anthony blinked a few times before scratching his head in wonderment of where the boy had headed off to. He had to look for the boy before he got into trouble or something else caught his attention. It happened a little too often. He went back to the cart and pushed it slowly up and and down aisles to search for the pocky boy, while picking up items that he needed along the way without much thought.

Puck had grown bored of playing in the toy section after while. With his daddy doing his shopping he slipped away to investigate the other aisles curious of what they held for him to play with. This only lasted a moment until he caught the scent of something sweet... very sweet. "Ah!" With a happy squeal he ran at top speeds down aisles sniffing at the scent he could smell. Each time he'd be directed to another aisle but again no sign of where the scent came from. After a while he changed directions looking around again and this time bumped into a boy his age. "Ah!" That was were the scent came from. Smiling, Puck lifted a hand to shake, wanting to meet the other eagerly.

Nes, who had been just carrying a large bag of dry cat pellets fell to the floor with a plop at the impact. The bag was almost as large as his torso and it threw off his balance quite a bit. He rubbed where he got hit and looked up to see another young boy. "Hello!" He said with a smile. He got up off the floor and picked up the cat food; hugging it close to his body. This boy seemed to want something because his hand was out. Nes stared at it and offered one of his hands as well.
"Who are you?" He asked nicely. It was only polite to ask for one's name first.
Meanwhile, Anthony was still searching for Nes. He had picked up only an item or two on his shopping list and still walking around the supermarket. He peered into every aisle but no sweet scented pocky boy to be found. People stared at him like he was a weirdo. He nervously got back into a well composed state while still trying to spot the pocky boy. He didn't want to lose the poor fellow on the first week as a guardian. No one would trust him again if he lost the kid! And worst of all, he might not even see Nes again! These thoughts triggered Anthony's paranoia and made him search even more frantically.

Puck smiled shaking the boys hand. He gave a wide grin next leaning forward as much as the bag would allow between them and gave a swift lick of the boy's cheek. "Mmm..." he tasted sweet too. "Puck!" He said, introducing himself before moving back and squealing delightedly at his new found friend. Another sweet boy like Kiyoshi, Gale, Kobacha and himself. What fun, they all had such delicious sweet tastes to them.
Xan grumbled to himself. He knew Puck wouldn't be far but for him to run off in such a way was unforgiveable. The boy was usually so well mannered it just seemed the grocery store brought out the worst in his behavior. Search each aisle he grumbled to himself when it produced no pocky child. Each aisle seemed more and more empty of child then was necessary. Even the toy aisle which he was certain Puck would visit was empty. It was only by sheer luck he heard the familiar happy squeal, the only one given when finding a boy similar to himself. "Oh no..." Xan hurried hoping that Puck didn't run off with whomever he found, it would be just like him to want to go play and leaving the store was something he'd have to do in order to play... OUTSIDE!
Puck smiled. "Play!" He offered, taking the boy's hand. "We play?" He asked tugging on him. It was of course his want to go outside. He was sweet like Kiyoshi and Gale so he'd want to play right? It only made sense the others liked to play with him too. "Please..."

He smiled and repeated the name like an echo, "Puck~" He said happily. "M'name's Nes!" But then, before he could finish his introduction, he got licked on the face. Nes gave a dissatisfying look to Puck as he was licked on the face and moved a hand up to his own face and wiped it gently where it was touched by Puck's tongue. "W-why did you lick me?" He asked blinking a few times.
At the offer, he really didn't want to refuse, but he promised dad. He couldn't fail his super secret mission now! "Sure! That sounds like fun!!" He said, forgetting about needing to get cat food in less than a split second. And that young children should not follow strangers, even if they were a younger looking boy such as himself... "What do you wanna play?" He asked the other boy, without asking his father first if he could go out and play...
Anthony's paranoia died down a little because he trusted Nes. He could think for himself, right? His paranoid came back... He picked up a few more items before spotting a white haired man who also seemed frantic. He felt like approaching this man, thinking he might've been in the same predicament as he was, but maybe not a Pocky boy like his own, but for his daughter or something that any wife would've killed if the husband had lost the little bundle of joy and mischief. He approached this man, pushing his squeaky wheeled cart. "Hey! You in the white hair! Wait up!!" He called out, hoping that he could be heard by this man and not too many other civilians in the supermarket.
