Sure he could get pissed and mad but what good would it do him. There was no need for such thing. Jepsen wasn't going to run away. He wasn't scared of getting hurt by Ally. If anything, pain was part of learning. Jepsen would let his own judgement pick if he stayed or ran. For now, he was more interested in learning about Ally. He wasn't turned off by his bitchiness. Jepsen rather like it after all it was something new for him. Although he didn't find Ally too bitchy. He pulled back from Ally's lips as he smiled at him. Jepsen released him stepping away. He didn't want to crowd Ally too much or annoy him. Jepsen moved back around the counter to take a seat. He grabbed his coffee taking a sip from his cup.

Waiting for Samuel, Micha started toward the stairs. With Samuel behind him, he could hear the rain too. He didn't mind it but hoped Samuel wouldn't mind. They could always stop somewhere and grab an umbrella. Reaching the surface, the rain was indeed coming down harder. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he questioned him. ”Hmm, I was thinking of going to look at a few clothing stores; perhaps Express first.” He spoke glancing around. Micha had looked at a few places on his phone while they were on the subway over.

It was true that there was absolutely no reason for Jepsen to lose his temper. Still, it made him curious to know how he was able to stay so calm through it all. Alaine was not intentionally trying to scare Jepsen off. But he also didn't see a reason that he shouldn't know what he was getting in to. If Jepsen still wanted him after the smell of depression and rejection wore off, then he guessed it would be okay to go out with him once or twice. After kissing the man, he smiled back at him and watched him step away from him. He wouldn't have minded if Jepsen stayed a little longer, but he understood. Baby steps. While the man moved back towards his seat at the counter, Alaine moved towards the opposing counter. Seeing that his coffee was finished, he removed his mug, and came to sit down beside Jepsen.

As they walked through the subway Samuel was determined to keep up with Micha. The last thing he wanted was to get lost in the disgusting underground filled with rats, strangers, and tone deaf musicians trying to sell their mix tape. Together they followed the crowd up to the streets and into the pouring rain. For anyone else, he would have turned back around and taken that subway right back home. But because it was Micha and he wanted to spend time with him, he was willing to put up with the weather. Samuel raised his hood as he questioned the male. He listened as Micha glanced around them and talked about looking for clothes. It seemed doable. The only issue was that he was almost as lost as Micha. Being nocturnal, Samuel did ninety percent of his shopping online. "Alright," he said, holding out his hand. "Lead the way." Samuel gave the down pour one last ugly look before stepping out. Perhaps while they were out, it might be a good idea to pick up something for himself if he gets too wet. He wasn't sure if Micha would allow him to stay over if it kept on like this. But just in case, he'd rather not drive home in wet clothes.

Online shopping especially for clothes was not something he preferred. Micha liked actually trying clothes on. It made things easier. After all if he didn't mind what he tried on then there was no need to buy it. Micha was grateful that Samuel was joining him. He knew that being in the rain was not something he enjoyed. Micha didn't mind it after all he was used to it. He nodded as Samuel spoke, holding onto his hand, he started down the sidewalk to find the store.

Micha didn't mind if Samuel wanted to do some shopping himself. He could hardly care if Samuel wanted to stay over but right now he was staying in a hotel. There was nothing exciting about a hotel but then again, he knew he would have to change his sheets especially from Grisha sleeping in his bed. In his own way, Micha would enjoy spending more time with Samuel even if it was at his hotel.

There was no reason for Jepsen to be mad or angry. Calm was the right emotion. He saw nothing to fear from Ally and everything all at once. Jepsen liked Ally but he knew little about him. There was no need to rush things. He wasn't going to force him. Jepsen wanted to take his time. He didn't want to scare Ally after all moving from one guy to the next wasn't always the best idea. Jepsen knew there was time to wait. He returned back to his seat with reluctance. Jepsen wanted to kiss Ally more but he knew it was out of pure need of his own. He sipped on his coffee as he sat there while Ally joined him from across the island.

He could understand not wanting to deal with the hassle of online shopping. While it was one of his favorite forms of shopping, there were some downsides to it as well. That he could admit. Unless it was a brand he was familiar with it could be tedious trying to get his correct size. Adding in the fact that he was tall and of a slightly more than average build did not help matters. Given Micha's own body type he could imagine that he had similar issues regarding size and length. He was fine going out with Micha, even if it was just looking for clothes. After all, he only wanted to spend time with him.

After taking the males hand, Samuel followed as they walked down the sidewalk. He was careful to mind where he stepped and remained close to Micha. Today, the crowds outside weren't too terrible. But there were still enough people that he worried if they separated they might get lost. Keeping up, he tried not to think about the rain. Worse case scenario, he could buy a new outfit. He wasn't completely sure if he would stay overnight. But the thought was tempting. He knew a hotel room wasn't much, but for now it was Micha's temporary home. If the man would have him tonight he would galdly stay over. It would only give them more time to catch up.

The idea of Samuel staying in his hotel with him didn’t bother him. In fact he welcomed it, he had grown used to the idea of being with Samuel again. Micha knew there would be changes, especially with getting back on a schedule. He didn’t want to return to such a dependant relationship again. Micha knew they would have to work on it, after all it had not been healthy for either of them. He loved Samuel, but the idea of going back to being joined at the hip worried him. Micha knew what it had done before, it lead to trust issues and problems. He wanted to change things and work on building a better relationship.

Walking with Samuel, he took the in the view of the people. It was still rather busy even with the rain. Micha walked with Samuel holding onto his hand. He wasn’t too familiar with the area and didn’t want to get lost either. Micha was likely to be a little scare of getting lost. It didn’t take long before they came upon the store he was looking for. He walked with Samuel heading toward the door. Micha opened it, holding to it, letting Samuel enter before him. He followed in, as they stepped out of the rain.

Samuel could understand if Micha did not want him spending the night with him. After all, it had only been one day since Micha returned. He could understand that he wouldn't have time for him all day like he used to. Nor would he expect him to. Looking back, he realized just how unhealthy their relationship was. As much as he loved the thought of being together with Micha again. He did not love the thought of becoming so neglectful to everything else going on in his life. While it was painful, being away from Micha did have some perks. The time had given him some clarity he needed to focus on his business, to pay attention to his best friend, and reconnect some with his family. He wasn't say Micha had necessarily kept him from any of those things. But he was aware that his priorities had been shifted around to an alarming level the last time they were together. This time, he wanted to do better by him. He wanted them to learn and grow as individuals so that they could build a better and happier relationship.

Walking out into the rain, he stayed close to Micha. He had to agree that it was surprisingly busy given the weather. Then again, they were in the heart of New York City and it was a week day. Anyone who wasn't a tourist was probably just going about their daily life. Samuel continued to follow Micha through the crowds until they reached the store. Seeing him open the door for him, he released his hand, and walked inside. Samuel sighed in relief. He was happy to be out of the rain, even if it would be that long. It was his first time visiting this store. Samuel usually tried to avoid the touristy areas as much as he could. Lowering his hood, he waited for Micha to join him inside while he looked around the area.

Moving around the counter, Alaine went to grab his coffee. Picking up the hot mug, he came back around and sat next to the man. He couldn't help eyeing him a bit. He saw the reluctance as he went to sit down. It was kind of cute. He knew what Jepsen wanted but could also see that he was respecting his feelings. He knew it wasn't a great idea to just jump into another relationship. If Jepsen kept kissing him though, that decision might become increasingly hard. He was already feeling a little ashamed of himself for seducing him like that. But at the same time, he just didn't care anymore. He hated the way Liam treated him in the end. And Jepsen's objections to their whole relationship was starting to make him think that he might be right. That Liam never cared for him at all and vice versa. They were just two people trying to pass the time and wait for sunrise. In the twenty-four hours he had spent with Jepsen, he had felt respected and cared for. That was more than anything Liam had done for him in the few months they dated. As he sat there waiting for his coffee to cool some, he leaned over and pressed a peck to the males cheek.

There was no need to rush Ally. Jepsen wasn’t going anywhere. He knew it wasn’t such a good idea to push him. After all it would seem strange for Ally to move from one man to another without some suspicion from their co-workers. Jepsen didn’t need anyone from work bothering Ally about them being together, especially after breaking up with Liam. He would give him time, even if he didn’t want to. It was only out of pure respect that he had for Ally. Jepsen knew it probably seemed strange to Ally, seeing as he had not seen the respect he deserved from Liam. As he sat there, he picked up a muffin, and took a few bites from it. He soon watched as Ally leaned against the counter and kissed his cheek. Jepsen looked at Ally curiously, ”What was that for?” He asked, though he didn’t need to know. Jepsen was merely wondering if there was a reason behind it.

Alaine was happy to not be rushed into making a decision. He trusted him when he said he wasn't leaving any time soon. He needed to think about the club's image and keeping face. Though, that didn't mean he couldn't enjoy his time with him here and now. A few kisses and minor flirting in the privacy of his home were fine. As he sat beside him, he watched the male from the corner of his eyes a bit. After a minute or two passed, Alaine leaned over to press a kiss to the males cheek. He sat back, sipping his coffee, and smiling behind his mug as Jepsen stared curiously. When questioned, Alaine shrugged his shoulders. "Do I need a reason?" he asked, using the males own words. Alaine sat back in his seat and took another sip.

It was easy to get wrapped up in each other. Pushing the rest of the world out and only seeing each other. Micha knew they both going to need to become individuals again. He did not need to rely on Samuel as he had done before, nor could he allow Samuelt to do the same. They would have to work on some ground rules. Micha knew he was going to need to sit down with Samuel and have an actual real talk with him, but the future and what it held. For now he was content with just seeing where things fell.

Walking into the store, he allowed Samuel to walk in before him. Micha followed in, as he allowed the door to close behind him. He walked around moving through the store. Micha made his way toward the men’s clothes. He need to buy some shirts and pants. Micha saw a few things already he wanted to try just from observation. He moved around the area, checking some shirts and grabbing a few to try on in the dressing room.

Today, he was content with their selfish tendencies. He knew it was only the second day since Micha's return but they hadn't talked yet. So technically he wasn't breaking any sort of rules. It was just nice to spend time with him. Even if the weather wasn't all that good. Walking into the store, he looked around curiously as he waited for Micha to join him. It was his first time in this store and he wasn't at all familiar with their products. When he noticed Micha had come in from the rain, Samuel followed closely behind him as they walked through the store towards the men's section. As they walked, Samuel looked at the different patterns and styles, noting the obvious trends though not really caring for them.

Upon reaching the men's section, Samuel moved to one side of a rack. He wasn't exactly sure what kind of clothes Micha was interested in. The only thing he really noticed consistent about his clothing was that seemed to prefer something darker, as compared to Samuel's usually brighter, more modern style. Samuel browsed the rack in front of him. Nothing was really jumping out at him, but that wasn't surprising. He was so picky. After looking around some, he went on to follow Micha from rack to rack, curiously looking over the things that he was picking out for himself. "Would you like me to hold any of that for you?" he asked. Since he wasn't seeing much for himself, he didn't see a reason why he couldn't give the male a hand or two.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

Micha knew that Samuel and he had different clothing styles. He didn’t mind after all it wasn’t as if they were going to be sharing clothes. Micha knew his frame was smaller than Samuel’s, while Samuel’s was larger. Any of Samuel’s clothes, were likely to hang off of him and look awkward. He didn’t mind if Samuel saw nothing he liked in the store. After all he was shopping for himself. Micha knew his style was darker, but he hardly cared. He wasn’t about to step out in bright colors. Picking up a few shirts here and there, along with some pants. Micha glanced toward Samuel who was following behind him. He shrugged at his question. ”Sure, if you want.” Micha spoke smiling at Samuel as he handed over his pile of clothes.
