Trigger warnings: contains smut

Will and Nico had been shopping together all day, wandering the local Mall, holding hands tightly. Jokingly, Will had encouraged Nico to try getting some colour in his wardrobe, and as a teasing gesture back, Nico had agreed only to neon socks, so that every time he ran, a slither of rainbow colours would flash between his black skinny jeans and black shoes. Will bought a little guitar ornament he wanted to send to his mom for her birthday, and an upside-down doctors' watch because both he and Nico really liked the pattern on the strap. They had lunch in a cheap and cheerful café that they loved, because it was different from all the high street chains- it sold paninis and wraps but filled with authentic Indian food, with rich spices and complimenting sides such as samosas, and it was all food to die for. The owners, an American-Indian family, didn't talk much but they were always very polite, with a big smile on their face. They set a peaceful atmosphere in the café, and Will and Nico loved to lounge on a big sofa in the far corner of the main dining area, cuddling and watching the other customers enjoy their food. Gently, Will fed Nico an olive that had fallen from Will's wrap, and Nico playfully but discreetly licked the pads of Will's fingers, before kissing him squarely on his jawline.
They had nearly finished shopping for the day and were just heading towards a store outside that might sell a frozen pizza for their evening meal, though Will had insisted on a salad with it. (Nico always won when he used his puppy dog eyes on Will. Out of common decency, though, he'd let Will choose the toppings. Ham and pineapple. Nico could cope with that.) As they turned the corner next to the Mall, Will was joking around and gently bumping into Nico, who would then dramatically pretend to fall the other way, just before righting himself. After a particularly powerful bump off Will, though, a dull thump rang out as Nico bounced of glass. Both giggling, Nico spun around to see the very corner window of a store he had never noticed before. It was on the very corner of the street, and was very small and square, but it rose up to have three floors. Also, it was a sex store.
Nico snorted.
"You nearly broke their window," mocked Will. "We should offer them custom as an apology." And before Nico had a chance to stop him, Will had darted into the doorway.

It wasn't nearly as dark and as dingy, sordid or grim as Nico had imagined.
It looked like any other store. Brightly lit, clothes rails, and baskets dotted about. Nico couldn't see Will, but Will had started humming, so Nico knew where he was and wouldn't panic. The first floor seemed to all be lingerie- Nico had honestly never seen so many bras and so much lace in his life. Following the humming, Nico slipped behind a shelf full of patterned tights in boxes and suspenders to find Will. Again, Will sniggered, and held something up to Nico. If Dionysus had been a male thong, this was him- garish purple and gold, in a leopard pattern, and glittery elastic keeping it all in place. Cautiously, Nico lifted the end of the sock- it had a cheap rhinestone encrusted paw on it.
Nico shuddered, dropping the sock, and Will tried to hold in his laughter, instead making the occasional squeaking noise. Despite a kiss of Will, Nico still pretended to be mad and instead glared at Will, but the noises Will was still making caused Nico to drop his poker face with a tiny smirk. Knowing it was all okay, Will kissed Nico again, and with the hand carrying the least shopping, grabbed one of Nico's hands and led him to a flight of stairs. Here, however, painted on a red wall in a curly cursive, read, "Warning! Not for under 21's.".
"Long past that," Will murmured happily, beginning to climb the stairs.
"Hey, I'm only 23," Nico retorted, bringing up the lead. "Don't make me feel too old."
Will just looked backwards and winked.

Upstairs, it looked more like a sex shop. The dildos gave it away.
The stairs had carried on to a third floor, but a sign on the way up specified that pornography DVDs and magazines were up there, and the pair had just shrugged at each other noncommittally. "Nothing we can't Google," teased Nico, and Will actually blushed. And so, they wandered around the small second floor. Surprisingly, to say they had been in a relationship for so long, they hadn't really discussed much of what was in the room. They had Googled porn before, and Jason's crazy stag do meant that they had acquired a couple of cock rings, but nothing beyond that. So, they wandered the room, holding hands, breathing slowly; as if they were in a museum, they looked at everything with both an innocent curiosity, in awe, but also with an almost voyeuristic urge to admire the artwork. There were dildos, some realistic, some purely made to literally hit the spot. Nico found underwear made of sweets especially funny. There were butt plugs in varying sizes, plain or with decorations or grooves on. There were board games and rude dice. Lubes that were flavoured or had special functions, such as warming up or tingling. There were whips and metal devices they both shied away from, but there were also soft silk ties that Nico held with an almost reverent contemplation. "Penny for your thoughts," whispered Will, and Nico put the black silk back.
"We should find a more neutral colour, like blue," whispered Nico. "In case I want to tie you up for once." This clearly hadn't been what Will was expecting, because he cracked up laughing again, and kissed Nico's forehead.
