WHO: Junseo and Jinseok
WHERE: A large department clothing store
WHEN: Now
WHAT: Reunions
WARNINGS: Jinseok will probably make sexual remarks at some point

[ Unlike Jinseok, Junseo's taste in clothing has always been simple. The more comfortable the clothing the happier he is, so jeans and oversized t-shirts are the way to go. Why bother wearing anything else? Especially since Jinseok has been gone for some time now, and Junseo hasn't had any real reason to dress in a way Jinseok likes. Honestly, when Jinseok was here Junseo never buy clothing for himself in the first place.

He doesn't really need to now either, but he thought a hoodie or two for the colder weather might be nice, so he stopped by the first large store close to where he works and immediately felt overwhelmed by the number of choices he was suddenly faced with. It's probably sad to admit, but before Jinseok picked out everything for Junseo, Junseo's mom did his shopping for him. She fussed about his taste, but she knew what her son liked to wear, and would usually end up choosing clothing he felt comfortable in without him ever having to step foot in a place like this.

As he stares down racks of clothing it starts to dawn on Junseo how completely out of his depth he is with something he is pretty sure most people do on a regular basis. He hasn't even gotten far into the store yet. Hell, he's still standing by the large windowed front doors staring at the first racks of clothing people see when they come in, not sure where to start.

Things don't get better when a bored employee decides that she wants to look good while her manager is in, and comes up to ask him "helpful" questions. Lots of "helpful" questions... She asks what he's looking for, and when he answers with an honest "clothing" she gives him a funny look and an "oooookay" before launching into questions about brands, and colors, and styles, and sizes. It leaves Junseo standing there blinking slowly at her, his expression blank as he nods at her questions, and answers a grand total of none of them.

This is clearly going very well. ]

[ Even to someone who just showed up, it would be easy enough to tell that it wasn't going well. Junseo's dumbfounded silence only has the store clerk looking helplessly around, trying to work out what to do with someone like this who apparently knows very little English and doesn't know how to answer basic questions.

And even though Jinseok has only just shown up himself, he already knows the exact situation he's "stumbled" into--stumbled being a very polite way of saying that he's been stalking Junseo since Junseo got out of work, trying to find an opportune moment to show up for maximum coolness; he's seen this many times before, and has always shamelessly loved being Junseo's knight in excellently styled and fitted armor.

He comes up behind Junseo and wraps his arms around him, standing on his toes so he can rest his head against Junseo's shoulder. ]

Winter sweaters, bring him neutral colors, and nothing with hard elastic. Something in beige or white, and we want to look at the winter jackets. Nothing down or polyester, he wants feathered or we will not buy it. And nothing in red, or you will wash him out and make him look ugly. Do you want my Junseo to look ugly? No. Go.

[dumbfound]

[ Junseo's English begins and ends at "Hello, my name is Junseo." "O.k." and "I like". For someone that used to travel the world, especially in English speaking countries, you'd think he'd pick up more. Though honestly, even with a translator he's still having trouble giving this poor girl much to work with.

Fortunately the guy that shows up out of nowhere to give her directions is about as far in the opposite direction of Junseo as possible. Sure, Jinseok's being a little demanding here, but the girl still looks vaguely relieved as she rushes off to see if she can find something that fits Jinseok's very specific demands.

Junseo, meanwhile, freezes in spot, like he's not entirely sure what just happened, and he's almost a little afraid to believe it might be what he thinks it is.

He tries to turn his head quickly to look at Jinseok, but all he really does is clunk the side of his face against Jinseok's.

That doesn't seem to upset him much though. ]

Hyung!?

[dicktate]

[ A global translator can only do so much for you when you barely spoke your natural language to begin with. There's not much it can do for someone who often answers questions with a helpless, bewildered look and a long, awkward silence.

Junseo is lucky to have someone like Jinseok, who takes great pride in telling people what to do and ordering them around, and is more than willing to decide what Junseo's answer is for him without ever bothering to ask.

He keeps his arms on Junseo's waist, but pulls back a little to spare himself another clunk in the face. It doesn't annoy him--he still thinks it's one of those cute Junseo things, but it makes him look pretty unsuave and he doesn't appreciate it. ]

Did you miss me?

[ He has no idea that the time passes differently between this city and his, but he does know that he's been gone for months back home. Therefore, gone for months here? Makes sense to him. ]

[dumbfound]

[ It's true. When Junseo can whine his way out of a situation he will, and even when he can't he'll try. It's kind of a problem, and one that he hasn't really bothered trying to fix. He's never need to with someone like Jinseok around to pick up the slack for him.

And even when Jinseok was around it's not like people were really putting pressure on him to change his bad behaviors. It's a shame, because he'd be a lot better off if he did try.

Still! Why bother when Jinseok hyung is back to take care of all his problems for him. A small, uncertain smile splits across his face and he nods enthusiastically. It might have been longer for Jinseok than it was for Junseo, but Jinseok was gone for a number of months, and Jinseok really did miss him the whole time he was gone.

He'd only just started to adjust to the idea of taking care of himself without Jinseok around too. ]

[dicktate]

[ Those bad behaviours are things that Jinseok has always liked about Junseo; he likes that he's too helpless to fend for himself, and likes that Junseo always looks at him to make any kind of decision, big or small. It makes him feel very in control, and he's not about to throw that away to make Junseo more tolerable to others. What does he care if Junseo is no fun to be around for anyone but him? Junseo is his anyway.

He seems pleased with Junseo's answer, standing a little further onto his toes so he can reach up and lightly bite Junseo's ear with his blunt teeth. ]

Hyung missed you too.

[dumbfound]

[ One day Junseo will have a good role model in his life. Well... an acceptable one. One day he'll at least have someone who coddles him just as much as Jinseok does, but at least doesn't encourage Junseo to make absolutely no decisions for himself, and continue his life as a helpless baby. So that'll probably be good for him when that happens.

Unfortunately that's not happening any time soon. At least he has friends in this world though, and isn't as completely wrapped around Jinseok as he was back home. Fortunately for him, not so much for Jinseok who is probably less than overwhelmed with the fact that Junseo does things besides sitting around and looking pretty while he's out.

Not much besides that though. He's still pretty wrapped around Jinseok, and caves like a wet paper towel to whatever Jinseok wants from him. It doesn't take much either. Small signs of affection make Junseo weak in the knees, and the fact that he hasn't had sex since Jinseok left helps nothing. The minute he feels the teeth against his skin Junseo is whining quietly.

It's probably a good thing the store employee left, because this isn't exactly something someone would want to be watching. ]

Hyung...

[dicktate]

[ Something Jinseok knows better than he'd like to; of course one day Junseo will have aother role model. A role model who's much older, much wiser, and much taller than Jinseok could ever hope to be... but he's also much uglier, and nowhere near as clever. Maybe that person might be a better vampire than Jinseok will ever be, but Jinseok will pry Junseo from his cold, dead hands every time.

But he checked when he arrived, and that name isn't here. Neither is another one that he particularly wanted to see, but the first one--or lack of--is much more important to him. The sole reason he sought out Junseo like a homing missile.

He grins to himself, squeezing Junseo's waist affectionately. ]

You are still very cute.

[dumbfound]

[ Jinseok lucks out this time, he still has Junseo all to himself without any thousand year old vampires cutting in and teaching Junseo not to murder and use people as he pleases. He has, however, had a few other vampire role models here, and while they haven't expressly told him not to murder people, it certainly has been encouraged. Several other people have made comments that jive well with Junseo's desire not to hurt people too, and made him want to keep up the good behavior that Jaehyun wasn't here to instill in him.

Somewhat good behavior at least. Good in the sense that he's not going to go around slaughtering people, but fucking around weirdly with his boyfriend in public? That's another matter.
He twists a little more, trying to face Junseo right now. ]

Hyung you were gone for so long!

[dicktate]

[ Truly, this time Jinseok is lucky. Or, according to Jinseok, has gotten the thing he knew he deserved all along. Junseo is his, has always been his, and was always supposed to be his; there weren't supposed to be tall, ugly vampires coming in to take the thing that belonged to him away and teach it how to fend for itself. Junseo is supposed to be useless and helpless, so he can rely on Jinseok for anything and everything he could ever want.

He loosens his grip only enough to let Junseo face him, still firmly holding onto him so there's no way for Junseo to get away from him again. ]

Yes, yes. How much did you miss me? Lots of suffering without hyung?

[dumbfound]

[ The basis of a healthy relationship right here. Well, unhealthy or not (and it is, it really, really is), Junseo is still delighted to have Jinseok back in his life. He knows nothing of tall, ugly vampires, and while he's sort of been fending for himself he hasn't done a particular good job of it. He's more than happy to let Jinseok take charge of his life again.

Which means he's also making no moves at all to escape from Jinseok's hold either. He nods emphatically at Jinseok's questions. A whole lot of suffering without him. ]

[dicktate]

[ Junseo doesn't need to answer; a sign of agreement is all Jinseok is looking for to fluff his already expansive ego. Knowing his cute Junseo missed him with no ugly vampires to soak up his misery and attention makes him happier than it should, and he keeps his tight, possessive hold on Junseo, happy again not to have another person floating around to ruin it.


Not even the store clerk returning with armfulls of clothes is enough to persuade him to let go, and he quickly goes through everything one by one, humming to himself and not bothering to ask for Junseo's opinion on anything. He doesn't need something like that anyway. ]

He will take everything.

[ Call it a welcome back present. ]

[dumbfound]

[ Junseo is pretty used to not having much say in the clothing he wears anyway. Without Jinseok around to pick for him he's been going back to loose jeans and large hoodies, but he doesn't mind giving up his comfort if it means he can have his hyung back.

He nods in agreement with Jinseok, even though he's really not paying a lot of attention to what's going on with the clothing right now. The girl looks surprised, but no complaints there. It'll reflect better on her in the end, and she hustles to the register to get stuff rung up.

Junseo, meanwhile, looks back at Jinseok for the next set of instructions. Follow the girl, right? Even he isn't stupid enough to not be able to figure it out, but he'd much rather have Jinseok tell him when he should breathe than be floundering on his own again. ]

[dicktate]

[ Junseo gets no say in what it is he puts on his body. It'd be nothing more than a waste of oxygen; Jinseok never bothers to listen to the opinions of Junseo to begin with; he knows what he wants to see, and he doesn't need the external input in order to make his decision.

Even when he was only a tiny terror Jinseok never bothered to listen to anyone and risk them getting in the way of what he wanted, and even though he's 23 now and forever, he's definitely not interested in changing.

He lets the sales assistant walk away with arms full of his demands, but keeps Junseo held against him so he can press his lips against Junseo's neck, ignoring anyone who passes by to give them looks in the middle of the floor. PDA has never bothered Jinseok; everyone should be honored to catch sight of this. ]

You are much cuter than I remember.

[ Way cuter when he isn't chasing some old, ugly vampire around. ]

[dumbfound]

[ Junseo doesn't even know the old, ugly vampire that Jinseok is talking about! Except for the part that he does... sort of. He hasn't had a proper chance to get to know Jaehyun, and he hasn't had a chance to really hear his views on vampire and human relationships (though a number of other imPorts have been setting the tone for Junseo's views on that currently, and Jaehyun would probably be beaming with pride of he knew Junseo made one choice on his own, and that was to not act like a predator and feed on hapless people without their permission).

He knows Jinseok though, and he knows Jinseok smells so different from what he remembered. It's a little distracting and jarring at the moment, but not as distracting as the kiss.

Junseo whines a little in what he seems to deem a perfectly acceptable response to a compliment like that. Okay... he knows he should follow the girl, but right now Jinseok's distracting him with something much, much better than clothing. ]
