“Ooh! That’d be cool!” He said, smiling up at the other. “Aaaaand here we are!” He announced, opening the door. It was a simple store really, probably a Target to be honest.

Astral looked around, taking in the sight of the store.
"Okay then! Where to first, cloths or hair dye?" Astral liked the reaction Simon had to his job. Really, he had to wonder whether one of those should would end up as his child, or if an entity new soul would be created. It was rate, but he had no idea with this situation.

“Hmm…I think clothes are closer to us right now so let’s start with that.” He said, grabbing a cart, starting to walk where they needed to go. He felt so much more comfortable back on Earth, he was more familiar with it and felt safer and more confident here. “I always get scared that someone’s gonna like…kick me out of the men’s section.” He said, managing to laugh a bit as they made their way in that direction.

Astral shook his head a bit.
"People are strange. Just how do they think it's okay to treat others like that?" Astral wasn't one to talk, but that was beside the point. He sighed, walking next to Simon.

“Mhm.” He nodded in agreement. “This store has small fights like that quite regularly. I like it though, keeps things interesting. Especially during Pride.” He chuckled a bit.

"Well, hopefully nothing will happen like that to us." Astral chuckled in turn, just slightly.
"There are too many people like that- what's even the point?"

He shrugged. “People just like being rude. It’s like our main thing.” He said, they’d finally made it to the clothes section and Simon began browsing, humming softly. He had more options now that he actually was completely flat.

Astral looked around as Simon browsed, humming softly. He wasn't particularly surprised by this information, of course.
"Anything you like?"

He shrugged. “Nothing super specific really. Mostly sweaters and hoodies. Though I’m guessing I’d be more comfortable with shirts now.”

Astral hummed a bit in acknowledgment.
"Any particular colors you enjoy?" He smiled some, brining to look through the clothes as well.

He shook his head. “Whatever’s fine really.” He said, briefly smiling over at him. He liked doing mundane things like this with Astral.

Astral smiled back. He sifted through the clothes a moment.
"What size are you?" He asked after a moment.

“Oh most definitely a small. Have you seen me?” He said, gesturing at his skinny form. Even then, stuff in the smallest size could be a bit big on him sometimes.

(Mornin!)
Astral chucked just a bit.
"Yes, I should have known." He offered a smile.

He smiled at the other before continuing to browse. He hummed along happily to the song that was playing in the store.

Astral liked seeing Simon this happy. In all reality, the human was growing on him. The man was the one who was giving him what he most wanted, after all.
After a moment, Astral held up a hoodie.
"How does this look?" he asked of the man.

“Ooh I like it!” He exclaimed. “Go ahead and add that one to the cart then.” It was doubtful Simon would still be this happy once he found out what Astral had done. Things could go from being amazing between them to completely awful.

"Good!" Astral put the hoodie in the cart. He didn't plan on letting Simon find out what had happened until he couldn't hide it anymore. He knew Simon would be more than upset with him, but he knew once the child was born he couldn't get upset at Simon, even if everything went down hill. He'd be eternally grateful…

“I shouldn’t need too much more.” He said, having grabbed a few items by that point. He browsed for a few more minutes, grabbing maybe two or three more things. “I think that’s all I should need from this section. Ready to go look at the dye?”

"Mm, yeah!" Astral smiled some, moving back over to Simon's side.
"Did you decide on a color?"

He shook his head. “I’ll just have to decide once we see what they have.” He said, steering them over to that aisle of the store.

Astral nodded some, following after Simon. He smiled softly, looking at all the different options.
"Wow, they really do have a lot…"

“Mhm! A lot of people dye their hair nowadays.” He said, bending down to inspect one of the boxes.

"I think it's cool…" Astral looked over all the colors, bending in turn to look at the one Simon was examining it.
"That looks like a good color. Is it a good type?"
