[It certainly doesn't seem to surprise the clerk much; they look up from a magazine only briefly before shifting so their feet are no longer on the table, clearly awaiting the presentation of IDs.
Yoshi, meanwhile, has frozen up staring at all the various supplies already visible from the door. It's a small shop, but packed with aisles that are in turn packed with different items sorted vaguely by category. He can already see some costumes...
[ then it’s up to deto to tug them into the store proper. he presents his ID card with a blank expression, used to unspoken cues and more interested in everything but the clerk
[ just covering his bases when it comes to saving money. the clerk remains unmoved, however. as if they’ll be here that often for birthdays to even matter ]
I think the store owners should consider it.
[ but then he gets distracted by the costumes yoshi had glimpsed earlier, and he turns to make a beeline for them ]
[ though who knows how long it’ll fit. judging by his aching bones, he still has a couple of inches to go ]
I hope so. [ very, very serious and earnest answer from him ] I hope anyone who shows another person that much vulnerability will be respected and taken care of in return.
[ voice trailing off into a low murmur. he thinks back ]
I remember… I was obsessed with how much I loved you that night. Felt like I was - possessed by… everything about you. You’re always so beautiful. It meant a lot - how much you trusted me.
If that’s how it is for people who like this stuff, then - I get it now.
[ he takes yoshi’s costume and his own, draping them over an arm. and if yoshi looks up, he gets a soft smile from deto, offset by the impish light in his eyes ]
no subject
[Almost... there...!
Once they get to the landing he's stopping without even looking into the store, hands on his knees as he catches his breath.]
no subject
Hang in there, Yoshi. [ patting him on the back, eyes on yoshi first before he peers curiously into the store ] One day your body will catch up.
[ there’s nothing much he can tell from the outside ]
no subject
This is... pretty much how it was before, too.
[Whew.]
Okay! Ready.
no subject
[ which is a statement of some sort. deto shrugs
with this type of store, two non-straight guys holding hands is probably nothing usual ]

Is there a rewards program we can sign up for?

The clerk raises an eyebrow. The answer, apparently, is no.]

Once that's done with, he locates Deto again to rejoin him, face still pink from their surroundings.]
What did you find?
no subject
[ it’s a bondage bunny costume. the bunny part had caught his eye, but he’s not too sure he likes all the straps ]
And there’s a maid and butler set.
no subject
Th-that's because the first one's a bondage set????
no subject
[ mostly it doesn’t look comfortable ]
no subject
[He's going to die of embarrassment.]
But, uh... I can probably get the maid outfit? Is it a normal one, or...?
no subject
That’s too… [ hm… ] …selfish. I don’t like it. But I guess other people do if it’s on display like this.
[ as for the other outfits: ]
Looks like animal-themed? There’s a cat one… and a bunny one. Oh, the butler outfit is cat-only though.
[ and… there’s a tail on the back?? what’s it attached to… deto’s scared to check ]
no subject
[There........ is not much doujinshi where the bondage is used in a wholesome way........]
It's got to be the bunny one, right?
[Taking a look and-
honestly he should've assumed it would be a pretty short skirt, but the garters and fishnet stockings are still, somehow, a surprise.]
...
no subject
[ looking at the garters especially ]
Wow.
no subject
[Maybe????????
...He's just going to start looking through the maid outfits for his size.]
no subject
[ though who knows how long it’ll fit. judging by his aching bones, he still has a couple of inches to go ]
I hope so. [ very, very serious and earnest answer from him ] I hope anyone who shows another person that much vulnerability will be respected and taken care of in return.

I want to see you in a butler outfit for sure!
[CAT BOYFRIEND...]

no subject
...I know you'd never hurt me. So even though I had no control - I still enjoyed it a lot.
Since it's you... I wouldn't even mind being wrapped up like a present. ...Taking everything you decided to give me.
[He's heavily flushed saying as much, but well - it's true.]
no subject
One day. [ it’s the start of a promise ] One day I’m going to kiss you in front of everyone.
[ not under an umbrella, or behind a wall, or tucked in a dark corner ]
no subject
Wish we could without any trouble...
