Just incase you were thinking it, no I do not own Degrassi, any of it's characters, or ideas, I do however own all exclusive records of Craig and Jay's steamy romance, no, i'm not sharing. Get over it. Also, i unfortunaetly do not own Fall Out Boy, or their song "Sugar, We're Going Down." Can I borrow a few thousand for royalties?

An hour or two later Jay emerged from the sheets, "So," he breathed heavily, "What'd you think?" Craig laughed and groaned, "Horrible." Jay playfully punched his shoulder and ran his finger up and down Craig's decently muscular arm, "Really?" Craig looked at him and smiled, "No, it was great," Craig smiled.
Jay smiled back and kissed Craig on the cheek and stood up to get dressed again, "Hurry up," he said to Craig pulling on his own boxers. Craig followed suit and got dressed, "What are we doing?" Craig slipped a vintage T over his head. "Shopping, I think it's time for a change." Jay finished dressing completely zipping up his jeans. Craig shrugged and put on washed out jeans and flip flops, and make a quick call.
Jay drove the long way because Craig figured if he was changing his style he's changing his taste in music as well, Craig danced in his seat singing along "Ain't no other man, can stand, up next you you!" He pointed to Jay singing over dramatically over Ms. Aguilera's voice. Jay tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and mouthed the words along with Craig pulling up to the North Front Mall, "I'm don't have much, soo," Jay got out and opened Craig's door, "I put a few thousand in a bank account from my last birthday, I'd say you're at least worth one grand." Craig smiled. "No, really, don't' spend that on me," Jay declined, "Oh, but I insist, boyfriend," Craig smiled and wrapped his arms around Jays waist and kissed him, "Let's go." Craig walked towards the ATM to withdraw a full grand, "I doubt we'll need to spend it all, but it's nice to not need change," Craig walked ahead of Jay but Jay ran up and interlaced fingers with him.
Craig ran around the mall mapping out different places to visit later, because he wanted Jay to get a hair cut first. "My hair?" Jay frowned, Craig nodded and led him to a salon where he'd made an appointment earlier that morning, Jay's hair was cut low enough to give him a faux hawk with a front flip, and given golden brown highlights that looked very natural. Jay looked in the mirror and smiled, "I look so…" The stylist finished and spun him around, "Hot," the mildly attractive older woman complimented him. Jay smiled and greeted Craig in the lobby. Craig's jaw dropped, "You look great! Now all you need is the guy liner, and," Jay cut him off, "Guy liner?" Craig laughed, "Kidding, let's get you out of those clothes!"
Craig drug Jay to a few nice stores, "Shirts," Craig mumbled picking out two handfuls of polo's and T's for Jay to try on, they were all rather form fitting but looked good, Craig sprung for a few plaid shorts that matched the solid polos, and lots of loose fit jeans and khakis. Jay was slumping around the mall after hours of shopping, and to make matters Craig had unloaded all the shopping bags on him.
They stopped to pick up smoothies and sat down, "So, why are you so excited to do this?" Craig asked sipping his Strawberry Banana delight. "I don't know, " Jay shrug off the question. "For me?" Craig asked taking a long slurp. Jay smiled and shrugged again. "That's sweet of you," Craig reached over and put his hand over Jays, "You know, I like you the way you are." Jay looked up at him, "Maybe I don't. I figure maybe if I reinvent myself, I can shake off the curse of Alex." He laughed. Craig frowned, "Was she that horrible?" Jay shook his head, "No, it's just, we didn't connect, like maybe we could have." Craig nodded staring at him, he snapped out of it and jumped a bit, "Let's go, we still have to get you shoes, and get manipedis." Jay stood up and groaned to himself tagging along behind, "He's lucky he's worth it."
Craig danced a little in the shoe stores, and picked enough shoes to match anything Jay would wear for the next decade, "Our journey's almost done!" Jay smiled a bit and followed Craig to the nail place, they got their manipedis and Jay almost cried, "I feel so girly," he exclaimed. "Relax, celebrities get these all the time!" Craig told him. "I don't want to be famous." Jay replied.
Craig rolled his eyes paying the nail technicians leaving. Jay drove back listening to the Taking Back Sunday album Craig managed to buy in between trying on clothes he didn't intend to buy anyway. "What's it feel like to be a ghooooost!" Craig sung. "If you knew the songs why'd you buy the album?" Jay questioned. "This is your copy," Craig replied, "LOOOOUDER NOW, LOUDER NOW." He sung loud. Jay laughed and held Craig's hand driving with the other, "For someone who's not gay you sure are a flamer." Jay joked. "I never said I wasn't gay, that was you," Craig shot back. Jay stayed quiet the rest of the ride home.
They got inside with their millions of bags and headed up stairs, it was late afternoon and Angie and Joey should be home soon. Jay picked out an outfit and took a shower before putting one on, he cursed loudly getting dressed. Craig ran to his bedroom from down stairs, "What's wrong?" he asked approaching Jay. "My hair!" Jay pointed to his hair laying wet on his face. Craig laughed, "Relax, Marco taught me a lot of things to do to hair once," Craig brought out the hair dryer from the bathroom and got to work, Jay stood there in a new pair of jeans, "It's hard not to appreciate that body ," Craig said working with Jay's hair, he purposely grabbed Jay's ass. Jay laughed, "Just finish my hair, plenty of time for that later."
Jay's hair was back in business and he'd finished gotten dressed and briefed on how to do his hair by himself. Craig walked in circles around Jay, "You look great!" Craig exclaimed putting on hand behind Jay's neck and another on chest he kissed him. Jay kissed back, "Thanks." Jay smiled, he jingled his keys, "Let's go." Craig looked at him puzzled, "Where?" Jay smiled, 'The Dot, to meet our friends." Jay left the room, leaving Craig without an idea in the world of who 'their' friends were.
