"Micha stood waiting for Samuel to finish getting his things. He smiled as Samuel walked toward him and joined him so they could leave. Micha followed Samuel making his way out of the store. He glanced back toward Samuel as he spoke. Micha looked around wondering where they should go next. He glanced down the way as he saw another store. ”Wanna check out Aeropostale?” Micha asked curiously as he started walking as he held onto his bags. He hadn’t been in the store before so he figured he might as well check it out. Micha glanced toward Samuel waiting to see if he wanted to check it out or not. He didn’t mind going to a different store if Samuel wanted to go somewhere else."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Smiling back at the male, he gestured for him to lead on, following in his footsteps. Aeropostale was one of those stores he neither liked nor disliked. He'd shopped there a few times before, but it wasn't like it was his favorite store in the mall. Following alongside the male he could already smell the heavy scented cologne that wafted through the large shop and out into the hall. He was thankful that whoever built this place decided to put Hollister on another floor. Just the thought the two heavy musk scented colognes clashing together gave him a headache. He already wasn't much of a fan of the scents that came out of both stores separately, but to walk through both of them at the same time made his nose itch and his head hurt at just the thought of it. Following the male up the path and into the dim store, he blinked a few times as his eyes adjusted to the stores' mood lighting. Not long after entering, they were greeted by yet another way too cheerful salesperson. Samuel nodded in response and continued to follow Micha around like a lost puppy.

"Seeing Samuel gesture for him to start walking, he did. Micha started heading toward the store. As he got closure to the store, the unpleasant smell of cologne wafted through the air. He reached a hand up and rubbed his nose lightly. Micha glanced at the store knowing that’s where the smell was coming from. He continued walking as he made his way into the store. Micha glanced around as they were greeted by a salesperson. He nodded simply as he continued on as he glanced at the clothes. Micha couldn’t understand how someone could stand this smell. He tried to ignore it as he made his way toward the men’s clothes with Samuel following behind him. Micha looked through the clothes for a few minutes before finally giving up. He couldn’t stand the noxious smell of the cologne anymore. It was giving him a headache. Micha grabbed Samuel’s hand as he dragged him out of the store and down the walkway before he finally stopped. He relaxed as he could finally breathe again without his head pounding. Micha glanced toward Samuel, ”Sorry about that…My head was killing me in there…I don’t understand how people stand that smell.” He spoke as he moved to release Samuel’s hand. Micha sighed as he glanced around wondering where they could go next and not be assaulted by perfume or colognes."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

As bad as the smell was, Samuel was sadly somewhat immune. Thinks to years of board meetings, his club, and being around people in general who seemed to think they needed to bathe in their scents, he was hardly effected. Following closely behind Micha, he could honestly say he was glad he never worked in a place like this in his younger years. If the scent wafting through the air didn't kill him then the bad music coming out of the poor quality blaring speakers certainly would. Walking a bit deeper into the store, Samuel continued to mentally question a few things about this store. Things like why was it so dark in here? Was the cologne in here really that necessary? Who told them that this was good music? And most importantly, why was the music so loud on these horrible speakers? It wasn't like having it loud would make the music any better, if it was even possible, it sounded worse than it actually was. Samuel told slightly off to the male as he pondered over these things, when suddenly he felt a sharp tug on his arm and before he could even question it, he was being dragged some halfway through the mall. When they stopped somewhere between Build-A-Bear and Victoria's Secret, he couldn't help but laugh a bit. It had been awhile since anyone had dragged him like that, and when they had it was under a completely different circumstance. He laughed a bit more as the male spoke. Poor Micha, he thought, smiling down at the male. Looking around a bit, he saw one of the places he wanted to check out. "C'mon let's go over here for a minute." he said, taking the male hand and leading him two stores over to one of his favorite places in the mall: Gamestop. Stepping inside the narrow shop, there were no perfumes, no obnoxious music, not even really that many people inside the store. He squeezed past a display for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and a stack of Xbox 360 green boxes, moving over towards the tall wall of pre-owned xbox games. Letting go of the males' hand he scanned through the many titles; some he'd heard of, others he'd played, a few he owned, and others he desperately wanted. Knowing Micha wasn't much of a gamer, he was quick with looking through the titles, picking up the new Assassin's Creed, Deadpool, and a LIVE 12-month card. He then took his items up to the counter, pulled out his Pro card to be scanned, and his debt card once he was given his total. Soon after, he was handed a bag and his recipt and he was done. "Alright, where now?" he asked, going back outside, looking around to see what stores were around. "I can warn you now that cologne and perfume wise Hollister is about as bad as Aeropostale, same goes for Abercrombie & Fitch. You might wanna avoid both of them."

"As he had dragged Samuel through the mall, Micha really hadn’t been watching where he stopped. He simply just stopped when he was a good enough distance away. Micha glanced at Samuel as he laughed. He could only guess Samuel was immune to such noxious smells. Micha glanced around not sure where to go next. He heard Samuel speak before his hand was grabbed. Micha followed Samuel as Samuel took him toward the video game store. It wasn’t normally a place he himself would walk into but he didn’t mind. He looked around as Samuel pulled him toward a display. Micha felt Samuel release his hand giving him a chance to look around. He glanced around while Samuel looked through the games. Once Samuel finished looking through the games and grabbed the things he wanted, Micha followed Samuel toward the check-out counter. He waited to the side for Samuel to check out. Micha walked outside as Samuel finished. He glanced toward Samuel as he spoke. Micha looked around as he heard Samuel speak. He nodded smiling a little. Micha was done looking for clothes. He looked up at the second floor and spotted the Virgin Megastore. ”We can check out Virgin.” He spoke smiling as he started toward the escalator to head up stairs. Micha walked toward the up escalator and stepped onto it. He held onto the railing as the escalator moved heading up to the second floor. Micha released the railing as he stepped off the escalator as he came to the second floor. He started toward Virgin to check out the store since he was in need of some new music. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Waiting patiently for the male to decide, he stuffed the smaller bag from Gamestop into his bag from Century 21.He didn't mind if they went into another clothing store, he didn't mind looking around. But when Micha spoke and show him looking up, he followed his line of site. Smiling back, he nodded in response, needing some new music himself. He followed Micha towards the escalator, stepping up beside him and taking a glance around the mall as they rode up. Once they reached the second floor, Samuel walked beside the male towards the stores, going off on his own to look around a bit. He knew enough that their taste in music was different enough that it was pretty pointless to follow Micha. Instead he first wandered off towards the World music section, a few names popping out at him, but for the most part nothing was really screaming "BUY ME!". So with that in mind, he moved over to Classical/Soundtrack. Samuel liked instruments more than he did voices. People today didn't really seem to understand just how much more powerful a good musical score could be compared to a voice like Beyonce or Justin Timberlake. He liked music that inspired and could leave him sitting there thinking how ******** awesome it was and wanting to listen over and over until he could listen no more. Flipping through various albums, he picked out a few by his favorite composers; composers like Hans Zimmer, Jesper Kid, and John Williams. Taking his few finds, he wandered back over to Micha, he came up behind the male and rested his chin on his shoulder. "Wanna grab something from Starbucks when we're done here?" he asked smiling up at the male and playfully kissing his neck.

"Micha walked into the store and glanced around. He had gone to Virgin a few times. They had one in Time Square. He enjoyed coming here because they had a large selection of CD’s and DVD’s. Micha watched as Samuel wandered off toward a section of the CD’s. He made his way toward the Classical section. Micha held onto his bags as he scanned the section. He had a collection of CD’s already at home. Micha though wanted to get a few more. He looked through the selection as he grabbed a Vivaldi CD along with a Haydn CD. Micha soon wandered over toward the Metal section. Out of all the music he owned, Micha owned a few Apocalyptica CD’s. He normally didn’t like Heavy Metal music but enjoyed the sounds of the Cello’s. Micha scanned through the section as he picked up a few of the CD’s. He soon felt Samuel’s chin against his shoulder. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he spoke. The idea of coffee sounded nice to him. He glanced back toward the CD’s as he looked them over. Micha titled his head as Samuel kissed his neck. ”Sure that sounds good.” He spoke smiling at the idea of coffee."

Smiling against the males' neck as he kissed him, he kissed him again at his response. Aside from holding hands, this would probably be the most affectionate he would be out in public. Turning his attention down to the males' hand, he reached down lifting his hand a bit to see what he was getting. "Not bad." he said, smiling approvingly. "So what are you looking for over here? Anyone in particular or just glancing?" he asked, his chin still on the males' shoulder. Samuel knew he should stand up and stop being dead weight, but he was rather comfortable at the moment. He'd move when Micha told him to get off or started moving without telling him, whichever came first.

"Micha didn't mind the small amount of affection Samuel was giving him. He felt Samuel smile against his neck as he stood there. Micha felt Samuel kiss his neck again. He smiled at the feeling as he stood there. Micha wasn't one for a lot of public display of affetion either. He felt Samuel grab his hand so he could see what he had got. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he seemed to aprrove of what he had picked up so far. He looked back at the CD's as Samuel spoke. "Just glancing mostly." Micha spoke not minding Samuel who was still leaning on his shoulder with his chin. "Did you see anything you wanted?" He asked curiously. If Samuel was finished then he would check out so they could go get coffee. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel was glad the male didn't mind the bit of affection he showed him. He'd hate to be jabbed in the ribs or stomach because he wasn't thinking nor caring about the opinions of others who just might have seen him give his date a little peck. He stood there, glancing over the males' shoulder at a few various names and titles he didn't know. When the male spoke, he held up the CD's in his hand. "Hans Zimmer, Jesper Kyd, and John Williams. Their movie and game scores are just one of my many guilty pleasures." he replied smiling. After a few more moments of leaning against the male, he stood straight once more, and playfully ruffled the males' shaggy hair. He enjoyed messing with the male way too much for his own good. Keep it up he probably would get that jab to the stomach he deserved. While Micha continued to look through various heavy metal albums, Samuel stood off to the side, going through the list of song titles on the back of the CD's in his hand. When the male was ready, he followed him up to the register and proceed to wait to check-out.

"Micha could care less what othes thought of Samuel kissing him. He wasn't the type to be bothered by public displays of affection. As Samuel showed him what he was getting, MIcha looked toward the CD's as Samuel spoke. He smiled as he laughed softly, "Cool." Micha spoke shifting as Samuel pulled back from him. He soon felt Samuel's hand mess with his hair. Micha pulled back from Samuel's playful hand. He ran a hand through his hair which hand gotten messed up though he knew it did him no good to try and fix it. Micha was finished looking through the music. He started toward check-out so they could leave. Micha pulled his wallet from his pocket as he moved toward the register. He set his CD's on the counter letting the salesperson check them out. Micha paid for his CD's with cash. He grabbed his change along with his receipt putting it into his wallet. Micha took his bag of CD's and stuffed it into his bag of clothes. He stepped aside as he waited by the exit for Samuel. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Seeing the males' reaction to him messing up his hair, he quietly snickered and decided to leave it at that. He could mess with the male more another time, but for now he would behave. Walking towards the register, he stood a bit behind Micha so they didn't appear to be paying together, waiting a little longer after Micha approached the register. While Micha went about paying for his own things, Samuel was called over to another register. For the third time he went through standard check-out questions, silently cursing whoever came up with this method every time a person checked out. Yes it was common courtesy and all that good stuff, but after awhile, he kind of got sick of hearing it. Taking out his wallet, he proceeded to pay using his debit card, making a mental note to check his balance when he got home later. It wasn't like he was going to go broke anytime soon, but he did like to keep track and try not to overspend. It was only the beginning of the month and he still had to pay bills and make sure he had enough to keep himself alive. Signing the receipt and taking his purchase, he joined the male at the exit. Samuel around for a moment, unsure which way Starbucks was. Once he spotted it, a little ways down he started to walk. "So after we grab some coffee, where should we go? Are there anymore stores you wanna check out or should we go somewhere else?" he asked curiously. He didn't mind walking around a bit more, but it was also fine if Micha wanted to go home or anywhere else.

"As he stood by the exit, Micha stuffed his wallet back into his pocket. He waited patiently for Samuel to finish getting his items. Micha watched as Samuel came toward him ready to leave the store. He glanced around as Samuel seemed to look around too. Micha started following after Samuel seeing the Starbucks. He glanced at Samuel and shrugged lightly. Micha had no more plans really. He had bought a few clothes, along with some CD’s. Micha didn’t think he really needed anything more. Although he didn’t really want to leave Samuel just yet. ”Want to walk around the park?” He asked curiously not sure if Samuel wanted to or not. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Walking alongside the male, he waited patiently for his answer. He didn't mind if he wanted to go somewhere else or even head home. Samuel could be a handful at times, it was amazing most people didn't leave him sooner. Though the mall was big, there weren't too many places he himself found dying to go to. Perhaps he was too old for the mall? It wouldn't be too surprising, after all he was nearing thirty in just a few more years. Malls just simply didn't interest him as much as they used to. As Micha spoke, he glanced down, giving a shrug. "Sure, we can, if that's what you want." he replied, taking a turn into the small coffee shop. Unlike the other shops, Starbucks was a little more crowded with about five people ahead of them in line and a few couples mingling around small tables. Taking a place in line, he glanced over the board, seeing a few new monthly specials along with the other regular drink menu. When he made up his mind on what to order some minutes later, he crept along with the line and then turned his attention to Micha. "By the way remind me again, you said that whenever we head back you wanted to be dropped at your house, right? Or have you changed your mind and wanna spend the night at my place? It'd be less of a drive if you do. I got a place we can stay at here in the city." He wouldn't mind spending another night with Micha. It would give them more time to try and talk. Maybe even come up with a better plan for their next date, cause right now he was pretty sure they were both just making it up as they went along.

"Micha walked with Samuel toward the coffee shop. He could see a small line forming already which wasn’t unusual. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he spoke and nodded. He didn’t have any better ideas at the moment. Micha followed Samuel toward the line and stood behind the people before them. He glanced up at the board as well trying to decide what he wanted. Micha had only been to Starbucks a few times so he couldn’t remember what they had. He moved along with the line as it moved as he tried to make up his mind. After a while, he had decided as well. Micha heard Samuel speak beside him. He glanced toward Samuel as he spoke. Micha smiled lightly at Samuel’s words, ”I can spend the night at your place if it would be easier.” He spoke not minding the idea of spending the night at Samuel’s again. "
