A Drabble A Day #21: Shopping
"I'll be back later, alright?"
"See ya."
Peter waved before shutting the door, then set off towards the shops. Even though Claude told him not to, Peter was still determinted to find a gift for him. But what could he get for a man like him? He had often seen articles in magazines that gave ideas about what to buy for loved ones, but he never recalled seeing one entitled, "Gifts for Your Invisble, Reclusive Lover." He chuckled at the thought of such an article but did wish that one existed.
As he made his way through streets crowded with last-minute shoppers, he came across a clothing store. Now that he thought about it, Claude still didn't wear very nice clothes. He was able to fit into a few of Peter's coats and shoes, as well as things he borrowed from Nathan but never remembered to return, but he didn't have any for himself that looked particularly decent. Peter went into the store and emerged from it a few minutes later with a couple of big bags swinging in his hands.
He hoped that Claude wouldn't see such a gift as a pity-present, so he decided to head into another shop as well, determined to find a gift that would lighten Claude's mood considerably if he didn't like the other presents. As he made his way into the next shop, keeping as low of a profile as he could and scanning the shelves carefully, he finally found something that he knew both of them would be able to enjoy.
Peter almost blushed as he purchased it, but his resolve was firm, and all he had to do from there was find a way to sneak the presents into the house without Claude knowing.
And to hide the receipts. Especially the one from the sex shop.
A/N: Another triple drabble. Bet you'd like to know the other thing Peter bought for him, eh? ;)
