"Sure," Jude said with a nod, tucking away a stray lock of hair, "So what do you think about any of these?"

Nyx blinked. "Oh. Uhm…I don't know." He replied, biting his lip a little bit and looking around at the shoes.

"That okay–" Jude shrugged, smiling faintly as he touched the silver studs of a boot, "Just look around and find what you like or– we can go find another store."

Nyx nodded a little bit. "Okay." he replied, looking around the store and picking up shoes, then putting them back again.

Jude wandered around the store, his gaze drifting over the different designs and occasionally eyeing some noteworthy combat boots by some big label.

Nyx kept looking around, picking up a few pairs of shoes, holding them in his hands and feeling them carefully.

Jude gingerly touched a displayed pair of shiny brogues, looking up to smile at Nyx thoughtfully considering the shoes he'd picked up.

Nyx kept looking around, looking at the sizing and comparing it to his foot size, then setting shoes down and walking a bit more.

Jude browsed around the store, absentmindedly wandering over to the cashier and making small talk about the game he'd missed last night.

Nyx picked out a few pairs of shoes and tried them on, walking around a little bit and stomping a little to make sure that they worked.

Jude lightly chuckled at Nyx's curious stomping, walking over with his hands in his pockets. "What do you think?" He asked, looking down at the shoes Nyx was trying on.

Nyx shrugged a little bit. "They fit." he replied simply, looking at Jude. "Isn't that all that really matters?"

"Well, do you like them?" Jude prompted nodding at the pair, "–Like, how they look. That's important too, I guess. There are lots of other shoes in that size, but looks matter. It's your sense of style."

He blinked slightly, looking down at the shoes and shrugging. "I mean…I don't know." he replied, cocking his head a little bit. "I guess they're fine, yeah."

"But are you happy with them?" Jude asked, leaning on the wall beside a low mirror and looking at the shoes, "What made you choose to try them?"

"I…liked how they looked?" he replied, raising his eyebrows a little bit. He took a deep breath, taking the shoes off and putting them in the box again.

"Hm," Jude sounded, biting his lip for a moment, "I mean– you should get them if they fit and you like them. They'd be your shoes, so it'd be good to have ones that you like wearing."

He nodded a little bit. "Oh, okay." He replied slowly, blinking at Jude for a moment, then looking down at the shoes again. He cocked his head slightly, taking a deep breath.

Jude smiled, glancing at the shoes in the box and nodding, "No pressure. They're just shoes."

Nyx laughed a little bit, and kissed Jude's cheek. "I know. I'm just…I don't know. There's a lot." He replied, a little bit overwhelmed by everything.

"Don't worry," Jude softly replied, smiling as he put the bags down to free his hands. "–Just want you to be happy," He said, gingerly touching the side of his face, "Take your time. We can always return them."

Nyx shot him a quick smile, and nodded a little bit. "Alright." he replied, those blue eyes looking up at Jude, a smile still printed on his face.

"Alright," Jude echoed, smiling and pressing a quick kiss on his cheek, "Go find 'the pair,' so you can run around the city looking fresh."

Nyx nodded a little bit, and went to find a pair, eventually coming back with a box. "Found some!" he said happily.

"You did?" Jude asked, smiling at Nyx's enthusiasm. He raised his eyebrows, looking at the box, "That's good, you like 'em?"

Nyx nodded a little bit. "Mhm." he replied, smiling at Jude contentedly.

"Kay, then we'll get them," Jude smiled, picking up the bags by his side and nodding over at the cashier, "And they're the right size?"

Nyx nodded, walking with Jude to the cashier. "Mhm!" He replied with another smile, kissing Jude's cheek happily.

"Hm, that's good," Jude said, smiling shyly as he put the bags down to reach for his wallet, waiting for the cashier to ring it up, "I'm glad you found something you like."

Nyx nodded again, setting the box down on the counter. The cashier took it to ring it up. "Yeah! Where are we going now?" He asked, raising his eyebrows curiously.
