They helped a lot over the years but they definitely weren't an addiction. Besides, I believe I've got someone who's a lot more fun and caring." Albion smiled, feeling a great deal of delight everytime she used that nickname. Albion, Alby, or Remington, that was what anyone else used... But Alon? It was a name only<em>she</em>could use. It was special... "Going to be a little hard to swap addictions like that... That being said, I don't think I would mind a sex addiction at all... At least until your first litter,<em>darling</em>." Albion sounded as if he made a joke, but with the way his hand rubbed her belly gently, it was hard to tell...<br/><br/>"Hahah, almost? I was a goddamn nightmare back then, to you and others. No jokes, no emotions... It honestly wasn't pretty at all. I kind of just treated everyone like they had a disease and I didn't want to deal with them, and yet somehow that never stopped you, not even the day I got thrown out of that damn car and beat up." He laughed softly, reaching forward to passively scritch one of her ears. "You're right though... I can't, and won't, let anyone treat you like I did before. I rather be the first and last to do that." He nodded... Maybe Nerissa didn't know he was already walking the path toward that old, more optimistic version of himself, even before this trouble with the Gate...<br/><br/>The version of him who could smile without a care in the world... Well, maybe he could never be<em>that</em>happy again... But as he looked to the vixen sweetheart in front of him, he knew he would be even happier than then.<br/><br/>Scratching his cheek, he hung his head. "I know... Wait, why are you throwing that in my face? I sure didn't see you complaining while you were hugging the mirror." He groused, folding his arms. Too bad he would never learn that the reason she teased him all this time was to make him lose control one day... Shaking his head, he decided to drop the complain and focus on the present task at hand. "If it comes to that, I will, I've seen the heels can be pretty flimsy.  I don't need a broken leg with how I fight." He frowned, taking the boyshorts to try on. After being pulled up underneath the dress, he fidgeted with the cloth until he could sigh happily and nodded. "Oh yeah... That's a comfortable fit."<br/><br/>Beginning to take everything off slowly, he was relieved to be switching back to his regular clothes, and the comfort of going without underwear once again. He sure as hell was not going to be wandering outside in all the clothes he just got just to risk ruining any of them. "Maybe I should leave the ladies' clothes on so I can join you..." He laughed, before shaking his head. "Yeah, no, don't worry, do what you need to do. I'll remember the condoms next time." At least that was what he figured she was going to the ladies' room for. "Why don't you take care of getting some of that while I go find a swimsuit? I know my tastes, it shouldn't be too hard to find something." By which he meant there would be black involved.<br/><br/>Once the pair had left the changing stall (after Alby took the chance to pass one last wipe to clean up as much mess he could), the pair could wander off feeling slightly less guilty and buying the clothes. At least he was more or less done, now it was Nerissa's turn. "Looking forward to that dress tonight... For now, have fun and don't be afraid to call if someone's harassing you. I promise not to make too much of a scene. Maybe." It was the best he could do, especially when he remember the last time he caused a scene for her, it got them kicked out of a club... Still, for now she would probably be fine.<br/><br/>And so the shopping continued...<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The comfort of being back out on the city streets was immeasurable. It felt like Albion had been trapped in there forever (granted, he would have been done a lot faster if he didn't decide to fuck his now-girlfriend Nerissa), and the relief of being out in sunny conditions was just too good to pass up. Nerissa herself seemed to be in a very good mood, and chances were everyone else was probably planning to go their own way in any event.<br/><br/>"You got me a gift? Aw, Neri, you shouldn't have. I didn't think of a gift for you... But I guess since I'm treating to lunch, let's say it's that." He nodded, prepared to walk out before he blinked "Huh? I got here by train since it was easier, and I left my car back home. We can catch a cab if you want, but what would you like? It'll be my treat." the male smiled, not quite sure what he was in the mood for himself.<br/><br/>"I actually wasn't sure if you wanted to check out that Cafe I mentioned earlier or If you wanted something a little more robust and filling than possibly some dessert foods or something... Well, we can worry about what to eat once we're done meeting back at SOPHIE. Hold that hunger for a bit and we'll eat somewhere nice." He smiled, before moving toward the parking lot. They'd have to hitch a ride back to SOPHE, or simply take their own ride...<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>[SCENE END]</strong></div>
