[dothelokimotion]

Yes. Absolutely.

[ nailed it. ]

[unkindled_madness]

All right then.

Do the suits go with the shirts?

[dothelokimotion]

Some of them would.

[unkindled_madness]

Then let's...

[It's at this point that a staff member approaches to ask them if they'd like to start a fitting room, probably because they sure look like they need one.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki acknowledges that, before herding sephiroth to a large fitting room and pulling up a chair for himself. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Well, Loki, time to enjoy your fashion show. Sephiroth is perfectly at ease with taking his shirt off, and his attention is mainly on the mirror.

He doesn't seem wild about the turtleneck, though. For one thing, it takes a little more doing to get all his hair out of that.]

[dothelokimotion]

Don't like it?

[unkindled_madness]

...it reminds me of my old uniform. When I first joined SOLDIER.

[dothelokimotion]

Ah.

[ loki does recall that. a crystallised vision pops into his head. what hojo recalled. ]

My apologies.

[unkindled_madness]

[He shakes his head.]

It's only a shirt. It was worth the attempt.

[When he first put on that uniform, it felt like a good thing. An escape. The memory is fresher, after the recent magic, of how he'd looked forward to it. But the feeling didn't last.

On to the next.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki just watches for now, enjoying the show. he hopes, at least, some of them will click for sephiroth. he's not simply doing this for himself, after all. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth does seem to like the floral shirt that isn't white, and the feather motifs. The louder, busier prints not so much though, and he's still gravitating towards darker colors. He sorts them neatly as he goes.

He reaches the hidden mesh shirt in the pile and arches an eyebrow.]

...is this see-through?

[dothelokimotion]

[ primly. ]

It's fashion.

[unkindled_madness]

I see.

[Well, he will humor Loki and try it on.

...okay, it's actually kind of comfortable.]

[dothelokimotion]

See? Fashion.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth lets out a soft laugh.]

I thought this was a joke.

[dothelokimotion]

As if I would do that to you.

[unkindled_madness]

...wouldn't you?

[dothelokimotion]

Well.

[ he stands up to adjust the collar of the mesh shirt with a faint smile. ]

Not for too long.

[unkindled_madness]

I don't mind it.

[Being joked with.]

[dothelokimotion]

Mm. You are a multi-faceted man.

[ he presses a light kiss to the corner of sephiroth's lips. ]

Anyway, you don't have to wear it in public. Some things can be private.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth blinks.]

Do you want it to be private?

[That seems unlike him.]

[dothelokimotion]

I don't see the need to share everything.

[unkindled_madness]

But you welcome kissing in public.

[One of these things is much more intimate than the other, and he's not following.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki hums. ]

Because one is a declaration of my feeling and the other is seeing you in a certain way, which is a privilege. And one I wouldn't share with others.

[ like the ring fiasco. ]
