radiodust: The unlikely duo

Mall time waltz

A day later Angel decided to go do go shopping at the mall for well anything! But he couldn't get anyone who was at the hotel so far to go with him everyone living at the hotel was busy except alastor but he wasn't sure if he'd take the offer to go kinda fearing rejection. He sat on his bed with his robe on still as his pig nuzzled on his other hand and Angel cursed in his mind when he got messages from Cherri and his sister Molly. They were busy as well. He sighed with "Guess I'm gonna go ask if deer daddy wants to go to the mall. I just hope he will." He said to himself getting dressed and when he was done he knelt to his pig and said " Anyways Daddy's going out fat nuggets. You be a good boy while I'm gone okay?" He gave a scratch on the ears before he left and locked the door to his room and headed to als room.

Meanwhile in alastors room!

Alastor was looking in the mirror already dressed and prepared for the day he gave a signature pose with his smile he would give every time he got up to give him a optimistic boost in his stride before he heard a knock from the door as he grabbed his coat. He looked through the peephole with "Angel? Is that you? Hold on! I just got finished getting ready for the day!" He unlocked the door with "Angel! I'm surprised to see you! I thought normally you would go out on the town with friends by now?" Angel shuffled nervous and said "Um yeah about that. Everyone's busy and I figured maybe we could go to the mall me and you? I been kinda wanting to browse shops and so on and maybe you'd find a shop to browse? I heard the record store that sells a lot of old format stuff from our era. I figured we could find some music At least?"

Alastor noticed Angel looked very nervous like he really would hate being declined. He felt he needed to go out regardless and angels suggestion had him interested enough with "Well I won't kill your jolly by declining and your mention of the record store peaked my interest enough so I'll tag along! But don't ask me to get in the more dirty shops at the mall okay?" Angel just chuckled and said "Al just cause I'm a proud perv doesn't mean I don't see your boundrys I got some sense ya know!?" Angel finished seeming a bit offended with alastor chuckling with "My apologies dear Angel. You know how I love pushing peoples buttons." Angel just laughed with "My people where i came from woulda called it busting your balls but I get what ya mean."

Later at the mall

Alastor was walking with Angel people tended to avoid them knowing alastor but it was understandable Angel pointed to alastor in a direction of a store with "Hey al? You said you wanted to go check this place? It looks modern outside but inside it's got a bit of everything." Al sighed with "Not a good start the exterior but I suppose I shouldn't judge a book by its cover! Lead on. "He motioned for Angel. They went inside passing a bored cashier who waved with out a care and Angel pointed "Yeah vinyl is over there! They got a few record players as well. Apparently even modern day folks are buying vinyl again. Weird how history repeats huh?" Alastor looked at the records and said "It is interesting but I already own these records angel. What is it this place has that the shops I visit don't have?" Alastor cocked his head confused by Angels reason for bringing him here.

Angel thought a moment then exclaimed "Okay al here me out! I know I tend to move with the times a bit easier then yourself but I found a genre that reminded me of the music we both old boys grew up with! Have you heard of electro swing? I know it's modern sounding but this brought me back and I'm sure it will you just try it!" Alastor was amused by Angels excitement over showing something as simple as modern day trash normally he wouldn't give it a chance but he gave in with "Very well. I don't see what's so good about it but I don't wanna buy something I won't use." Angel groaned a bit annoyed with "Al? They have vinyl players over there... Just try it and put the headphones on."

Alastor chuckled with "I'm out of my element Angel what can I say? We didn't have stores like this in our day." Angel said slightly muttering "You ain't wrong there. Anyway I'll get it set up!" Angel grabbed the vinyl he found and played it while handing alastor a pair of headphones. Alastor looked a bit confused because it sounded like a song he once heard before but then the beat dropped and he seemed to be getting into it then stopped with "Okay okay! I know what your saying! It's different then what I'm used to but I'm sure I can get into it with time. Um Angel? Now that I got something I wanted to look into is there anything you'd like to look at?" Angel grabbed al with "Thought you'd never ask! Clothes shopping! But let's get the records and pay before I hit the dressing rooms of the clothes shops capiche?"
