Nephilim

Jack stands in the aisle, examining the items on the shelves without touching them. The aisle was mostly empty, two girls and him being the only ones there. Kirstin was in the food section, stocking up because Dean and Sam were going on a hunt soon. That recently seems to mean that they are left alone, not allowed to leave the Bunker unless it is a dire situation. Kirstin had told him to go look around and to see if there are any movies he wants to grab, sending him off with the baskets that you carry around.

Instead of going to the movie isle that a worker had told him how to get to, he got sidetracked in another aisle on the way there. It was full of different brands, colorful packaging, and even more colorful products. He had seen enough of the stuff around the Bunker, stole and used enough of it too, to know it was makeup. Avery had plenty of it, spread all over the girl's bathroom, so it wasn't hard to take some without her noticing. This place had a lot more colors and shades, however. Most of Avery's were dark.

The first few times he had put on the makeup, he hadn't realized it was considered a weird thing for boys to do, having watched many of them do it on Youtube, where it seemed normal for the most part. When he found out many people didn't find it normal, he decided he would just add it to the list of things he wouldn't be normal for. While he had been using the makeup for a while, he still only used eyeshadow, never trying to take more, scared Avery would notice and be upset that he took her things.

Listening to the girls next to him talk about him, and pretending not to be able to hear their barely-there whispers, he examines the many types of makeup. Foundation, concealer, blush, lip gloss, lipstick, something called lip liner and much more. Not to mention all the different colors, for different skin tones, of eyeshadow, of lipstick. It seems like a never-ending pile of decisions. And then there were the weird brushes.

A tap on his shoulder caught his attention he looks over to see one of the girls standing next to him. She had an amused smile on her face, for some reason, "Do you need some help? You seem kind of lost."

He shakes his head, "No, I am not lost, just confused. Why is there so many different types of makeup?"

She laughs, "Because people don't all have the same appearance, or prefer different looks than others. Are you trying to get some makeup for a family member?" He shakes his head again before looking at the rows of stuff, avoiding meeting her eyes. "For yourself then?" He nods slowly, his apprehension clear. "Cool, then you would want this foundation, it matches your skin tone. What type of look are you going for? Light colors or dark colors?" Jack cocks his head to the side, confused as to why she was helping him. The girl must take that as a sign of confusion about the makeup because she just giggles and tells him he has a lot to learn.

By the time he had made it to the movie aisle, the basket was half full and the girl that had helped him had explained a lot to him. Kirstin was already in the aisle when he got there, looking at a set of multiple movies. When she noticed him there she showed him the movies, "Does a DC marathon sound good? 'Cause we have all of the older ones at home, these are the newest ones and there are more coming out sooner than you'd think."

He looks at them before grabbing a movie called Trolls off the shelf, "Only if we can get this too." She laughs setting her movies in the cart she had, before grabbing his basket and the movies out of his hand. She raises an eyebrow at the makeup as Jack tenses, scared of her reaction.

"New hobby?" When he doesn't reply she laughs, "Relax, this is not even bad, dude. Bad would be you going dark side. None of us will judge you if you want to wear makeup. That just means that Avery will have someone to test her technique on because I refuse to. Did you know she's thinking about going to beauty school? I highly doubt she will get the chance though, with hunting and all." Kirstin rambles as she adds the makeup to the cart.
