mask shopping

Dyo dragged the doctor into a vintage shop. After one look at the shop, seeing masks hanging from the ceiling, a weird ass bunny costume, and the immediate sweat from only walking in, the doctor wanted to leave. The man looked at him and saw discomfort on his face from being so squished, so he took his hand and squeezed it to comfort him. "It's okay, and I know it's hard to get around. We're only here for one thing." Hearing Dyo's voice got the doctor to calm down, and he nodded as he looked at the masks above their heads. There were so many different ones, and he knew Dyo would examine every item in extreme detail, from the price to the tip of it. The store was tiny and filled with costumes, jewelry, and people. The doctor wandered off to a corner and turned around, being greeted by a shit ton of shoes. He examined a couple of them, having liked their designs, and upon seeing the price, he put it back on the shelf. "so much for new shoes.." He mumbled to himself before chuckling as he continued to walk around the store, holding his hands together behind his back. The doctor looked down the isles as he walked along the sides, sometimes stepping into the cramped isles to look at costumes while humming a song he heard while driving to the store with Dyo. He walked out of one of the isles, having seen some shinies and he took a good 3 minutes staring at rings and watches, eventually being bumped into by Dyo and a worker he was talking to. "look ahead of you." He spoke to the mask who simply stopped in place and stared at him. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
"I'll give you two hints. your, husband."
"suck my dick."
"not with that attitude."
The mask rolled his eyes at him before continuing to talk to the lady, wandering around the store aimlessly. The doctor saw him multiple times after he stopped looking at the accessories, and chuckled a bit at how funny it was to see a roughly 5'10 man tower over an invested teen, telling stories and doing so many hand movements you'd be surprised that the poor girl's face wasn't bruised. As the doctor watched them go to the front of the store, he saw something that caught his attention. Trying not to break anything or hit anything with his high waisted feminine hips, he walked to the front and heavily examined a cowboy themed nook at the front of the store. After about maybe 10-20 minutes, the doctor felt a hand on his shoulder, freaking him out. He turned around only to see the mask holding another mask that looked nearly exactly like the doctors, and if he wasn't made of porcelain the doctor could almost see in his expression that he was trying not to laugh at his stunned face. "Look what I found~~" The mask finally laughed as the doctor took the mask and turned it as he examined it. "Holy shit Dyo." was all he could find in his head to say before handing it back to him. "Found anything you want?" "no, but you insisted I come in." He lied. He wanted the whole store, but they weren't rich, and he knew that for a fact. "Aww, I was hoping you would. That sucks, sorry honey. Guess we're done then, you can go wait in the car while I pay." Dyo shooed the doctor as he happily left the store, going in the car and sitting in the drivers seat with his beloved air conditioning and space.
