Replacing ruined clothing

Felix had his hand intertwined with Hideaki's as he led the man down the main shopping strip of Catania.

He desperately needed new clothes, he had torn most of his up fairly quickly with learning how the shift and wearing the older wolf's clothes was difficult, so few of his things fit properly.

"It will be nice to have my own clothes again, I think I have stretched most of yours."
He laughed softly and looked down at the man, Felix was taller and his shoulders were wider, the shirt he had borrowed from Hideaki today was snug and stretched across his chest.

"It's alright, I have a lot of them."

Hideaki smiled up at him, squeezing the man's hand. Though the colour and shape of the shirt did suit him, he couldn't help a smile creeping across his mouth at how the fabric stretched over the man's skin, eyelets of flesh peeping between the buttons. The smaller shirt looked funny on him, and yet... kind of attractive, too. He flushed, batting away the thoughts.

"Come on, in here."

He dragged Hideaki into a shop that he knew to be good for suits. It was expensive, but the cuts were always good and they lasted. Well, for as long as any of his clothes lasted, anyway.

Felix followed him obediently into the store, all of his old clothing were back in Sweden, he had been backpacking in Italy had already gone through his backpack of clothing.

Since he was living here from now on he needed everything imaginable.

Felix gazed around the store, not the usual type of place that he would shop, normally he stuck to lower end clothing stores, even before he was a lycan he ruined clothing quickly, staining them with paint.

"Any idea of what I should be looking for?"

"Anything you like the look of. Preferably something similar to what you're wearing now, but in a larger size."

Hideaki started to browse the racks, picking out one dark purple top and holding it up against him. He frowned in thought, considering it for a moment, before shaking his head as he put the shirt back.

Perhaps this wasn't Felix's sort of shop, on second thoughts. It all seemed a bit formal for him. But that shirt did look good on him.

Felix padded around the store looking for something a bit more casual.

He smiled softly as he found a shirt that was more his style, unbuttoning his shirt and trying on this one quickly, he was sure the store clerk wouldn't mind his trying it on there, he didn't want to have to go the changing rooms.

It was a dark grey cotton shirt, with a subtle plaid pattern on it in a darker shade of grey.

He rolled up the sleeves so they sat against his forearms and let the tail of the shirt hang out over the top of his jeans, while the a few button were left oven at the collar so a little bit of his chest was exposed.

He hummed softly as he ran his hands over the fabric, it was tailored nicely as showed off his broad chest and slimmer waist.

"What about this one?"
He asked, a little unsure when it came to clothing.

His hand trailed over the man's torso, checking the fit under the arms and over the chest. It rested over his chest, feeling the warmth of Felix's skin underneath.

"It suits you." he smiled.

Felix looked really good in it. It really showed off the man's body without being too tight, and the colours brought out his skin tone. His hand slid up the man's chest a little to grip the collar, pulling him down gently for a kiss.

Felix purred softly as Hideaki's hands trailed over his body.

"I'm glad."
He did like this shirt, it was comfortable so he was happy that it looked good on him.

He leaned down to kiss the man back, his hand reaching over the stroke his cheek and trail down his neck in gentle caresses.

Pulling away slowly he smiled down at him as he unbuttoned the shirt and slipped on the old one again.

He grabbed the same shirt in three different colour, the grey one, a blue one and a white one.
He figured he would be going through clothes fast so he might as well stock up.

"We should go take a look at a more casual store."
He added with a smile, leaning down and giving the man another kiss.

Hideaki let out a quiet contented whine at the soft caress, head tilting back happily. He would never get over the happiness he felt when he was close to Felix like this. It made him feel secure and quite blissful... unlike the stress he felt whenever anybody else touched him.

"Of course."

He leaned up to return the kiss, smiling happily into the man's lips.

Felix quickly padded off to pay for the clothing and made his way back to Hideaki, taking his hand and heading out of the store.

It definitely wasn't his type of store but at least he got some nice shirts for if they ever went out.

Felix chose a store that was far more relaxed, rock music was gentle playing through speakers inside and posters of the lastest hit movies and bands littered the walls.

This place had a much more youthful feel to it.
He smiles and dragged Hideaki inside, automatically he went to a large table covered in assorted mens jeans, picking through a few different cuts, colours and sizes.

He allowed Felix to drag him along, gazing around the store in confusion. It had been a long time since he had last gone shopping, and he had continued to go to tailors which had been around about fifty years ago and only did suits and older clothing. He wasn't used to the newer styles and band posters on the walls.

His hand traced over a pair of jeans, feeling the texture. It felt rather coarse and as though it would be uncomfortable... but everybody seemed to be wearing them, so it couldn't be that bad...

Perhaps he'd try wearing some at some point.

"This is more your sort of style, isn't it?"

He smiled and gave a gentle nod.
"Yeah, I like to be comfortable and since the clothing is cheaper I don't feel so bad ruining it."

He chuckled softly, they both knew that he would ruin a large amount of clothing in the next few years, there would be times when he got worked up over stupid things and would shift without meaning to.

Hideaki smiled up at him. "You'll get used to it eventually. You haven't exploded yet, so it can't be that bad."

Even when nobody had been around, when he was first turned he had had moments. As he recalled, quite a few trees had been destroyed.

During the full moon, he was the same, even now. He would bottle up his anger and destroy a tree later. It was his usual reaction to strong emotions. Similar to how during the mating season, he would lock himself in his room for almost a month. He didn't like anybody to see him when he had extreme emotions like that.

"True, but I haven't been around many other people, I have a feeling that if I am around other lycan's things might get heated."

He thought back to how Hideaki was around Aodh the first time they met, in that situation he could see himself getting mad much faster than he did.

He headed over to a tshirt section, picking out a handful of simple printed shirts as well as other essentials that he didn't have, sneakers, socks, underwear.

He had to completely restock his wardrobe.

"I'll just have to keep you all to myself then, won't I?" he teased, leaning up on his tiptoes to peck Felix's cheek affectionately.

He couldn't imagine Felix angry. Even when Felix had first transformed, he had been fine. To be honest, Hideaki had expected him to attack him. Being turned into a lycan without permission wasn't usually something that people took well to.

Felix leaned down and wrapped his arms around Hideaki, kissing his neck softly.

"I would not complain about that for a moment."
He replied with a chuckle before pulling away again, knowing Hideaki public displays of affection would embarrass him sooner of later, though he had been the one starting it.

That little fact made Felix grins softly.

"I'm glad."

Hideaki leaned into the embrace, a small shiver running down his spine as Felix's lips grazed his neck.

A small blush tinged his face as he pulled away, subconsciously rubbing his neck at the tingling sensation.

He glanced briefly around the room, seeing a few people staring quite openly at them and looked away in embarrassment. He hadn't noticed before now, but now that he had...

But oh well. He would rather be close to Felix, even if people did look.

Felix followed Hideaki's gaze to some people who had been watching them, He gave them a warm smile until they looked away.

He chuckled softly under his breath, and shook his head.
"They're jealous."
He grinned at Hideaki and took the man's hand, his other arm skillfully holding all the clothes he had picked.

"Gotta try these on I suppose."
He pulled Hideaki into the changing room with him with a chuckle.

"Of me, maybe."

The man smiled shyly, sweeping a lock of shiny black hair out of his eyes as he allowed Felix to drag him into a changing room. He took a seat at the side of the changing room, staring down at his knees, cheeks a little flushed as he fiddled with his hands on his lap.

"Of us."
He corrected, Hideaki had very little self confidence, he would have to try and give him a few ego boosts so he felt better about himself.

"Are you okay?"
He asked as he took off his shirt to try on a T-shirt that he had picked out.

He looked so nervous sitting there, it's not like he hadn't seen Felix naked before, plus, he was keeping his underwear on.

He smiled, but didn't really believe it. People didn't notice him. He was the type that just kind of faded into the background... Felix stood out.

The man glanced up at the concerned tone in the man's voice. "Yes, I'm fine."

He had seen Felix naked before, yes, but that was just after he had been transformed, and Hideaki had been too panicked to really pay attention.

But now, he was paying attention, and it scared him a little, if he was honest. He had never really paid attention to who he was attracted to before Felix. Of course, he had had urges, and noticed people, but not in such a strong way. Before he could just ignored it, but now... he couldn't.

Felix smiled warmly and nodded, slipping the shirt over his head, it was a pretty simple T-shirt. Like most the shirts he wore it stretched over his broad shoulders and chest but fit perfectly everywhere else.

He didn't mind that it was snug against his chest, it showed off his form without being uncomfortable.

He slipped off his jeans and picked up a pair of straight cut black ones.

His eyes were kept glued firmly to his knees, biting his thumb, only looking up when he was certain Felix had changed.

His gaze flit over the man's torso and down his body, a hand running through his hair anxiously, suddenly very aware of the directions his eyes were headed.

"That looks nice." he smiled, then paused, biting his lip. "But are you sure it's not a little too tight across the chest?"

"Hmm...
I suppose it might be, I think I grabbed a bigger one to try on..."

He trailed off as he looked through the pile of clothes he had grabbed, picking one that was a larger size and quickly changing into it.

"Better?"
He asked, looking himself over, it seemed to fit well.

He glanced away quickly again as the man switched tops. Looking back at him, he could see that it was a much better fit, and didn't cling quite so much to the man's chest and shoulders.

It made him a lot less self-conscious about staring.

"Better." he smiled. "Next thing?"

"I can grab the other shirts in this size but I still need to grab a few pairs of pants."

The ones he had borrowed were a little short for his liking.

Kicking off the jeans he was wearing he grabbed a pair of grey denim jeans and slipped them on.

"How about these?"
He asked, turning around for Hideaki, they were straight cut, not to tight that they clung to his legs but they were not baggy either.
