It's been a few days since Adrian asked my permission to remind me of my past. He's been showing up ever since and trying a million different ways to remind me, but well it's been impossible to jog up my memory.

How can he remind me of the things I already know?

It's been a hilarious ride watching him in his attempts. Each time I turn him down his features literally shrivels up but he turns up with renewed spirits the next time he sees me

Where's all of that enthusiasm coming from?

I walk down to the grocery store when I sense him beside me

"I've given up trying to figure out how you always know where I am"

"Well, that's an improvement because that's what you did always"

"You're saying I give up easy? I'll try not to take offense at that" I huff

"No! I'm only saying old habits die hard. I couldn't stop following you around and you gave up because I was a lost cause" he says smiling wistfully

"What did you remember now?" I say looking at his softened features

"I don't think you would like to know this"

"and you know that how? Did you ask me?" I raise my eyebrow

We reach the store and he makes a dash for the cart before I have a chance to do it, I just roll my eyes while he flashes me a careless grin. As we walk through the aisles, I pick the things I want while he walks silently observing me

"You're either Chatty Cathy or Silent Bob?"

"What?" he laughs incredulously

"What's gotten you trapped in your head?"

"Nothing" he smiles abruptly and walks ahead towards the chocolates

Now that's not suspicious at all

Should I may be end this?

"Heads Up!" he shouts from ahead of me before throwing me a large bar of Toblerone

I catch it and aim it at the cart beside him, it makes it into the cart when he moves a little farther and throws a Reese Peanut Butter Cup this time, I catch this and aim it into the now far away cart, it lands when I find myself catching another and yet another bar of random chocolates he's aiming at me all the while moving farther and farther, we're in the middle of this triangle of shoot-catch-aim game when a huge M&M's pack lands square on my face. I look up in horrified amusement and see Adrian doubled over

"No Fair!"

"Not my fault your reflexes suck" he laughs

"My reflexes are just fine, it's your aim that sucks" I huff out in indignation

"You're such a sore loser" he smirks

"Whatever" I mutter and bend down to pick up the pack that fell down, walking over to the cart I drop it in and notice a fairly large pile of slightly ruined candies and chocolates in it.

"What am I going to do with so many?" I laugh

"You don't like Chocolate anymore?" he quirks an eyebrow

"Was I big fan of them earlier?"

"They were your Dragon's Treasure" he laughs

"Well maybe one or two are fine but nah I don't really eat so many" I say

"What's your Favorite?" he asks

"Since you say you know me try guessing" I challenge

"All of them" he declares proudly
