It wasn't like John went shopping often. He was always running off into the streets with Sherlock, solving crimes or catching serial killers. But Tony insisted on John getting a new wardrobe for the upcoming fall. Once Tony made up his mind there was no turning back.
Tony was in town and decided to meet John at the nearest shopping center. He pulls into the parking lot with his lavish Ferrari ignoring the usual glares of people admiring the fine piece of machinery he was driving. He normally went shopping in places like New York, but he wasn't here for himself. He exited the car and walked toward the entrance of Macy's.
"Hi Tony!" John greets the man with a crooked smile and half wave.
Tony looks at John's attire and sneers "John, no wonder you never get laid." As Tony opens the door he looks back at the man, noticing John's sudden irritability at his statement about getting laid
"Please don't tell me you're fucking Cheekbones. You're taking it up the butt from Cheekbones aren't you?"
John stops when both men are inside the store. A slight flash of annoyance appears on this face before he reminds himself that he needs to control his temper.
"No I am not sleeping with him! Number one, his name is Sherlock. Number two, I am certainly NOT gay! Now can we please do what we came here to do?" John tries not to overreact, and starts to head toward the men's section.
*Gay, Gay, Gay* Is all that's floating through Tony's mind as he follows John down the department store walkways and up the slow escalator. Tony wonders what It would be like to get with an Army Doctor, but then he is distracted when he notices a sweater John has picked up.
"What is that thing" Tony takes his hand and flops the sleeve around awkwardly.
John innocently looks over "Its a Jumper, I like it"
"No you don't" Tony snatches the hanger out of John's hands and then goes rushing though the tight isles between packed clothes racks. He picks up a few things and doesn't even ask John's opinion. Instead he shoves them toward John and pushes him toward the fitting room.
John tries to talk to Tony but before he can get a word out he is shoved into a fitting room with a bunch of clothes he doesn't like. He thinks about pulling the 'it doesn't fit move' but Tony would find a way around that one too.
As Tony waits for John, he lingers outside the dressing room and glances at his phone. He opens up the alarms section, sets the alarm to 9PM, and begins to type.
"John Watson is sleeping with Cheekbones. Don't forget to ask Jarvis how long it'll be before they come out of the closet."
As soon as Tony finished typing his little reminder, he spots John emerging from his dressing room "They fit?" Tony asks with some real enthusiasm in his voice.
"Yeah, they fit alright. I just don't really li-" John is cut off when Tony grabs the clothes and heads to the checkout. John has no idea what he is going to do with all this stuff he isn't going to wear. He starts to grab his wallet but Tony stops him.
"Its on me. Don't worry" Tony looks at John for a few seconds and smirks. He slightly tilts his head and almost giggles "Have you ever noticed you kinda look like a hedgehog?"
The army doctor feels flustered and runs his fingers through his hair nervously "No, no one has ever told me that one before." John starts to walk toward the entrance to the rest of the mall when Tony rushes ahead of him and quickly spins around to face him.
"JOHN! I have a brilliant Idea. Follow me and don't ask any questions"
