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!

[Follows behind her, still scowling.] No, you're right. This is actually far worse than anything I could have ever imagined.

[trinities]

It's your own fault~ You were the one who made me throw out all my 'slutty' clothes and fun shoes!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Michael laughs a little at the memory.] No, the whole thing was totally worth it. I hope Shiro appreciated my efforts.

[trinities]

What I'm wearing really isn't too important to him! [ skips off and leaves him with the bag before he can get outraged over the innuendo~ ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[THIS FACE FOREVER.] Just. Don't. I was talking about the whole no sex thing but whatever. [Just stop talking, Michael. Just. Stop. Talking.]

[trinities]

We made up for it after the fact! [ flashes him a grin before hopping on into the shoe store :> THAT LITTLE BIT OF REVENGE, EXACTED ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[ihu sis. Drags himself over to the shoe store after her, bags and all. He's in a really foul mood now.]

[trinities]

[ By the time he gets in there she's already tottering around on five-inch gold strappy heels. In space, there is no need for comfortable footwear. ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Scares some old lady out of a seat and plonks down with a sigh next to where she's trying on shoes.]

[trinities]

[ trips over her own feet and falls over sobbbb ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[sorry sis but BRB DYING OF LAUGHTER.] Serves you right.

[trinities]

[ sits up, GLARE ]

Well it doesn't matter if I can't walk in them in space!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Still laughing here 8)] Yeah, yeah. Just get some and let's go already.

[trinities]

You have no appreciation of how hard girls work to look cute! [ picks herself up and CROSSES HER ARMS before sitting down to take the shoes off ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Michael just shoots her a look that plainly says 'well, duh']

Are you getting those? [And no, of course that isn't impatience in his tone.]

[trinities]

Yep! And some more, besides! You'd have a better appreciation of all this if you tried wearing heels, you know.

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[And this look clearly reads 'keep dreaming because like hell that's ever gonna happen'.] Fuck no. I'll leave that to you.

[trinities]

[ just grinsssss and leans over to pull out another shoebox ] They come in pretty big sizes, you know!

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[GLAAAAAAAAARE] Fuck. Off.

[trinities]

Aw, come on, not secure enough to crossdress? [ but she puts the shoes back, she's not really too bothered ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Still glaring.] Fuck you! I don't-- [He cuts himself off as his brain catches up to his mouth.] Nice try, sis.

[trinities]

It's a classic!

[ tries on a few pairs more of shoes, then takes a few up to the register ]

So~ What next, food or guy's clothes?

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

Food. [There isn't a question in Michael's mind as to which one to choose. If he never sees another clothes store, it'll be too soon.

And he still doesn't trust Nena's intentions.]

[trinities]

Fine by me, I'm starving and I haven't had fast food in forever! [ hands him the shopping bag and leads the way out into the corridor, elbowing through the crowds ]

[bare-my-fangs.livejournal.com]

[Why is it that the word 'no' seems to disappear from his vocabulary where his sister is concerned?

He takes the bags with a sigh and trails after her, glad to be taking a break from this nightmare.]
