Riley skims the jewelry, with Jericho not far behind him , looking at kid's toys, wondering which fidget spinner Sebastian would prefer. Riley gets more and more frustrated as the price for each item gets more expensive as he walks.
"Are Sebastian's ears pierced? Or rather, does he have any piercings?" Riley yells loud enough for Jericho to hear from the other side of the mall. 'I thought it said juuling on the add that's why I took the job' that's canon
"Who knows?" Jericho says in response. Riley shrugs at the jeweler behind the counter, his name tag says "September" and he looks far too young to be working at a jewelry store, or working at all.
Riley passes Victoria's Secret and starts to seriously consider Eden's joke. Riley raises an eyebrow at Jericho as he tries to discreetly admire the women in the ads and fails at the discreet part.
"Hold your hormones, Jericho." Riley says suddenly.
"Says you." Jericho says quickly and turns away from him.
"Oh? Just a reminder that I am in fact a homosexual." Riley continues to walk with his chin up.
"Yeah, dude, I know. You're dating my brother. My BROTHER. Don't you think that's a bit weird for me?" Jericho says a bit more aggressively. He seems very tired.
"Do you wanna go to Starbucks quickly? You seem tired. It's on me." Riley suggests to the overly emotional teen.
Jericho grunts before nodding.
Jericho checks the time on his phone as they sit at a table silently, drinking their coffee.
"It's already 12. Damn, we need to hurry up." Jericho says, obviously not caring about filters anymore.
"Damn is right." Riley taps his fingers on the table. "Let our journey continue." He stands up and speed walks to the next store, which is a candy store, something tells Riley that he must go there. Jericho attempts to catch up and not spill his drink. His attention turns to a GameStop on the other side of the mall, and Jericho seems like he's drawn to the store.
He walks into the GameStop, and drools over the video game cartridges, before Riley notices. "Jericho, get over here. You're not gonna find anything there for Sebastian."
"Yeah, well I don't think you're gonna find anything in a candy shop either. You do know he's 22, right?" Jericho snaps at him.
"I am aware. He has the mind of an 8 year old sometimes though, and I have an idea." Riley replies and roughs up Jericho's hair. Riley's idea is to buy a crazy amount of Jolly Ranchers and organize them on a canvas to make it look like a picture of Sebastian and Jericho. Jericho watches in horror and admiration as Riley proceeds to buy an unholy amount of Jolly Ranchers.
"I have a canvas at home. So, I'm done." Riley laughs at himself realizing that he must look ridiculous carrying about 15 shopping bags of Jolly Ranchers.
Jericho looks happy for Riley, but also his face swells red. Jericho was hoping to buy something before Riley, seeing as he's lived with Sebastian for his entire life.
"Are you okay?" Riley asks, shuffling the bags around.
Jericho sighs. "Let's just go find something quick, before all the stores close down." He starts to walk pretty quickly out of the store and into the open and looks around, before seeing a music store up ahead.
He goes into the store, the smell of rosin and dust hits him immediately. There are a few guitars and records hanging from the ceiling, which gives him an idea. A stupid, and impossible idea, but its so stupid, it might just work.
