Crossing the bridge 9s followed behind 2B up towards the mall. They were sent with the purpose to find "useful" information regarding past human civilization.

Earlier up at base 9s nearly jumped in joy in front of the commander if it wasn't for her assertive presence scaring the shit out of him. 2B just sighed, why wouldn't he be, that is his specialty. She glanced back and saw 9s struggling to hide his smile. She couldn't help but smile herself seeing how cute he was trying to keep his hidden. Clearly this made 9s break his great mask.

"Come on your slowing down" 9s quickened his pace.

After some quick clean up of some big robots they entered the mall through the rusted over spiral doors. Well 2b did, 9s tried but couldn't make them budge so 2b had to push it for him

9s just blushed with embarrassment

"um thanks"

But once entering 9s was quick to get to work. He kept stopping around with ooos and ahhhhs finding small trinkets. Now that she thought about it, they never did scope out this area. They were side tracked chasing Emil through here. 2B was just sitting at the center by the escalators looking out to all the little rooms. She couldn't help but feel curious also. She walked over to a "name brand" store while 9s was busy else where.

"How did humans wear some of this?" She quietly said to herself. She picked up a pair of jeans that seemed very inefficient for combat, no flexibility or protection what so ever. But for some reason she couldn't help but look at some of them and wonder how she would look in them.

"You gonna try it on?"

SHIT, 2B dropped the jeans and turned quickly. She almost had a DAMN heart attack. 9s was leaning against the wall.

"N-No the clothing is impractical"

"Well I mean I guess your right, but supposedly humans would wear these clothes to "show off" their looks, some their income level depending on brand. They weren't meant for combat."

If that was correct humans must have been more self centered then she had thought. But considering she "is" built in their image why can't she? Plus this is research into past civilization, self experience is the best way to learn. She bit her lip...

"Fine" she went into the fitting room at the back. Leaving 9s to wait...

HOLY SHIT SHES ACTUALLY DOING THIS! 9s internally screaming*

His thought processing was going into overdrive. Gotta clear some memory to record this. He heard her coming towards the curtains, quickly regaining his composure. The curtains opened and 9s looked up. She chose to wear a white t shirt that was loosely fitting which gave her a cute relaxed look, with some gray yoga pants to match.

"So?"

9s just stared and made 2B blush a little.

"9S? Are you ok?"

He snapped out of it "uh..yeah.. that looks really good on you 2B!"

2B broke a smile which made 9s' heart flutter.

"Your turn next!" She turned back around towards the fitting room.

His eyes drifted downward and...DAYUUUUUUUUUUUUM

*They say the pupil enlarges when you see something you love. In this case it was his zoom in feature.

Before 2B turned around he quickly picked up his jaw. She closed the curtains and changed back into uniform. Great now what should he wear? He thought for a second and grabbed some articles of clothing and headed towards the changing room. He undid his uniform and snuggled into his clothes.

2B was also a little upbeat about seeing 9s in human clothing. More curious then anything really. The curtains opened and out came 9s wearing some khakis with a navy blue long sleeve and decided to put a gray beanie to top it off.

"Well how do I look?"

Cough* "Fuckable"

"What?" It slipped over his head

"Fantastic"

"R-really?!" He could've sworn that wasn't the first compliment but he was smiling hard from what he heard. He then decided to keep the clothing they had found as "personal scavenge" so that they didn't have to deliver it to the data processing at the bunker. 2B agreed with him as well. After retrieving some other artifacts in the area they set course back to the bunker.

Upon delivering their findings they headed down the hallway as 9s carried a box with their clothes. 6O approached them

"So how did the mission go? I bet you enjoyed it! Well maybe not 2b"

"It wasn't too bad"

6O almost looked shocked at her response

"really! That's great to hear! Oh and what's with the box?"

9s came up with an excuse "it's uhhh..data files...that I need to..um...organize" 2B just shook her head.

6O narrowed her eyes

It sucked*

"OK!" And she walked off.

9s let out a loud exhale "Welp that was close!" Here 2B" he handed over her stuff

"I'll pick up mine later" he walked into his room...

...and so did 2B.
