"Don't worry," Jude softly replied, smiling as he put the bags down to free his hands. "–Just want you to be happy," He said, gingerly touching the side of his face, "Take your time. We can always return them."

Nyx shot him a quick smile, and nodded a little bit. "Alright." he replied, those blue eyes looking up at Jude, a smile still printed on his face.

"Alright," Jude echoed, smiling and pressing a quick kiss on his cheek, "Go find 'the pair,' so you can run around the city looking fresh."

Nyx nodded a little bit, and went to find a pair, eventually coming back with a box. "Found some!" he said happily.

"You did?" Jude asked, smiling at Nyx's enthusiasm. He raised his eyebrows, looking at the box, "That's good, you like 'em?"

Nyx nodded a little bit. "Mhm." he replied, smiling at Jude contentedly.

"Kay, then we'll get them," Jude smiled, picking up the bags by his side and nodding over at the cashier, "And they're the right size?"

Nyx nodded, walking with Jude to the cashier. "Mhm!" He replied with another smile, kissing Jude's cheek happily.

"Hm, that's good," Jude said, smiling shyly as he put the bags down to reach for his wallet, waiting for the cashier to ring it up, "I'm glad you found something you like."

Nyx nodded again, setting the box down on the counter. The cashier took it to ring it up. "Yeah! Where are we going now?" He asked, raising his eyebrows curiously.

"Hmm," Jude smiled, tilting his head to the side as he thought. "I was thinking…maybe we could drop by this used book store that I Iike– and you can pick some stuff out?" He shrugged, paying with his credit card and smiling over at him, "And then maybe get some groceries on the way back to my place? More ice cream."

Nyx blinked for a moment, then nodded. "Okay!" he replied happily. "That sounds fun!" he kissed Jude's cheek again, picking up the bag.

Jude smiled a little shyly. "Fun– yeah," He quietly laughed, knowing that the better part of his friends would raise their eyebrows at the thought of a bookstore being fun. Jude nodded, picking up the two bags of clothes and thanking the cashier before he turned to leave.

Nyx followed Jude out the door, still smiling a little bit. He hadn't been to a bookstore before, which was why he was so excited about it.

Jude walked back along the long street, weaving through the bustling crowds with Nyx. "It's real cute," He smiled, "–The bookshop, I mean. It's packed with all these classics, it's always warm and kind of dimly lit. And there's a cat."

Nyx nodded a little bit. "Oh! Like Macy?" He asked happily, looking up at Jude for a moment with a bright smile on his face.

"Yeah, like Macy," Jude said with a soft smile, nodding, "The owner lets it roam around and bother customers. It's real friendly, you'll see when we get there."

Nyx smiled happily. "Alright!" he replied, with a smile, laughing a little bit and reaching down to take Jude's hand.

Jude glanced down at their hands, looking up at him with a smile. "It's just around this corner," He said, softly sighing at the narrow street of basement-level shops with faded signs.

(i'm about to go to bed, sorry)

Nyx nodded. "Are we going to drop the clothes and stuff in the car first?" he asked curiously, blinking up at Jude with curious eyes.

"Sure," Jude nodded, quietly remembering the bags in his other hand, the one that wasn't being held by Nyx. "We didn't park too far, right?" He quietly chuckled, looking along the street for his car.

Nyx blinked. "I don't think so." He replied with a shrug, looking around and then tugging Jude towards the car, smiling softly.

Jude hummed absentmindedly as they approached his car, letting go of Nyx's hand so he could find his keys and unlock the trunk, stowing away the two bags of clothes.

Nyx put the bag with the clothes, smiling softly as he looked over at Jude. "Thank you." He said after a moment.

Jude closed the trunk, locking his car. "You're welcome," Jude said with a shy smile, shrugging lightly as he took his hand.
