35. [ RL with Michael ]

[trinities]

[ They didn't go to one of the big cities, security was too high there these days-- at least in the good sections-- and even though their names and faces weren't known to the media, better safe than sorry. After all, if Nena got into a fistfight with someone over a sale rack, which had definitely never happened ever before ever, small-town cops were much preferred to a trained military police force, especially since they had no identification papers to speak of.

So they went to a middling-sized town in California, Nena spreading her arms wide and spinning herself around as they entered the local mall. She was wearing jeans and a plain T-shirt, thanks to alignment!nena throwing away anything remotely cute or flattering, but still managed to look happy as anything ]

God, I can't wait to get into some clothes that let me breathe!

[Michael liked to think that he had some measure of control over the situation, but from the moment Nena first asked him to take her shopping, he knew that he was fucked. In fact he was kinda surprised that he'd held out for that long, considering that Nena had a ridiculously easy time getting him into cat ears.

Still, with everything that had happened lately, this was the first chance they had to spend some time together, so Michael was actually looking forward to this.

But like hell he was going to tell Nena that.]

Fine. Whatever. Where are we going first?

[trinities]

Let's go there! [ Tugs on his arm and drags him to the first department store she sees ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Tugged! Looks like he's going to be dragged around a lot ;_____;] Fuck my actual life. What exactly are you buying again?

[trinities]

Stuff I can move in, duh! And more cute stuff, this shirt totally does nothing for me. [ And maybe swing by the men's department to get him some decent stuff too but shhhhhhh ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[...Yeah, that means nothing to him.] Fine. Whatever. How are you paying for this again? [Entering the store now; why the fuck do they need so many different types of clothes holy shit @___@]

[trinities]

I drained Allelujah's CB account! It's not like he's using it right now, right? [ Starts pawing through the racks, holds out a bright pink tank top ] How about this?

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Works for me. [Just sort of stands back, away from the clothes as though they're contagious or something.]

[Stares at Nena when she asks for his opinion.] Why the fuck are you asking me that? If you like it then get it.

[trinities]

We're bonding! [ Pulls out a red ruffly one as well ] Which one is better?

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh] Then they're both shit: the pink one is killing my eyes and the red looks like it's alive.

[trinities]

Great, I'll get them both! [ slings them over her arm and moseys on over to a table of shorts :> ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Rolls eyes.] Then what was the fucki-- [sigh] Yeah. Fine. [Trails along after her. He has a feeling that it cab only get worse.]

[trinities]

You don't like cute things, so whatever you don't like, it's got to be adorable! --Ooh, they have the shorts in pink, too! [ tosses the shirts at him as she digs through the pile for her size ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[...SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH]

[And suddenly, clothes. He only catches the shirts to stop himself from being smacked in the face with them.] [Glaaaaaaaaare]

[trinities]

[ THERE WE GO hands him the shorts too ] Now I need a top to go with them! [ over back to the racks, dig dig dig 8D ] Let's see, after this we can find a shoe store, then a shop with a good men's department...

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Nodding absently, only half paying attention. Tops, shoes, men's depart-- HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE.]

No. Fuck no. I didn't agree to that!

[trinities]

Hey, I didn't say I was buying clothes for you! I could be buying them for Shiro, for all you know! [ she's totally buying clothes for Michael. ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[SUSPICIOUS LOOK] Alright. Fine.

[trinities]

Yay!

[ has amassed quite an armful by now, and leads him to the fitting room, sitting him down in a chair outside ]

I'll come out wearing stuff, and you tell me whether I'm cute or not!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[What is my life ;_____; Sitting down outside the changing rooms, chin resting on fist, with the most bored looking expression ever.]

Yay.

[trinities]

[ comes out in a plaid halter top and shorts, and spins around ]

Okay, on a scale of one to ten!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Sis, I really hate to break this to you, but I honestly don't give a shit.

[trinities]

Okay, we'll call it a five!

[ goes back in, comes back out, miniskirt and top with a bow on ]

So how's this? Cute, right?

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[He's starting to wonder why he even bothers.]

[Raises an eyebrow at the next outfit.] Like hell I'm being seen with you when you're wearing that fucking bow.

[trinities]

So definitely this one, then! [ bounces back into the room, last outfit 8D Striped top! ]

I think this one makes my boobs look weird! [ stares into mirror :|9 ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

That's because it's about two sizes too small, idiot. [You can tell by his tone of voice that he's about two outfits away from whining like a five year old.]
