[He chuckles and rubs at the back of his neck.]

I have definitely never worn anything that showed this much skin before. ... Alright, I'm gonna go try the t-shirt on now.

[Give him a moment to do that! And once he steps out...]

Well?

[switchaxe]

[Shit fuck shit fuck damn he's so good looking.]

Baggy shirts look good on you. I like it.

[infezione]

[He grins.]

I definitely want to get both this and the tank top, then.

[switchaxe]

[Fuck.]

Hell yeah. Wanna find a couple more?

[infezione]

Yeah, definitely! Let me just change out of these, okay?

[switchaxe]

You got it.

[While Pat does that, Ash has a bit of a panic before going around to find a few more shirts to suggest to Pat. All in all, Pat'll walk out of the store with two pairs of jeans and a few new shirts!

As they head out:]

Anywhere else you wanna go?

[infezione]

We can browse a few other shops on the way, especially if there's anything you want to look at, but there is a bookstore here...

[switchaxe]

Bookstore it is.

[Because honestly. It's Ash. Books are more than okay by him.]

Anything you're lookin' for or just books?

[infezione]

I'm not really looking for anything specific. It's just that this is something we both enjoy, so...

[switchaxe]

Hey, this is for your birthday. Anything you wanna do, I'm good with.

[infezione]

I know you don't do sappy, but... I'm just happy spending time with you. It doesn't really matter to me what we do.

[switchaxe]

[Fuck. Fuck he is so gay. Fuck.

A tiny smile.]

Then let's hit up the bookstore. I can probably get you a book or two for your birthday.

[infezione]

[The tiny smile earns one of his own in return.]

Alright, let's go.

[switchaxe]

I reserve the best friend right to tease if you get some wild shit, though.

[Just a little.]

[infezione]

[Okay, that earns a snort.]

Yeah, because you've never teased me for my choice in reading material or gotten some wild shit yourself.

[He's grinning, though.]

[switchaxe]

I'm just sayin'! You get wild shit, I get to give you shit!

[infezione]

[He laughs.]

Well, we'll see.

[And there's the bookstore--]

[switchaxe]

[And about an hour and a half later, they're leaving! With a few books each.]

Enjoy today?

[infezione]

Very much so. Today was a lot of fun... thanks, Ash.

[switchaxe]

Any time. Y'know I love hanging out with you, and after the last few months completely forgettin' your birthday...didn't feel right.

[infezione]

I love hanging out with you, too.

[If his hands weren't full at the moment, he'd be scratching his cheek at the last part.]

I mean, to be entirely fair to you, I'd forgotten about my own birthday for... God, I think it was actually a couple weeks later when I realized "oh, shit, I'm seventeen now!" So, uh... I don't hold it against you or anything. Obviously.

[He pauses.]

This was more than worth the wait, anyway.

[switchaxe]

[God. He needs to talk to Class VII. He needs some kind of advice.

That's probably a terrible idea but he doesn't realize that.]

Well, next time it won't take two months. Promise.

[infezione]

[He laughs a little.]

I'll hold you to that.

[He pauses.]

... We should probably head back to the apartment so I can drop this stuff off... Stick around for a while after that?

[switchaxe]

'Course. Let's go.
