Seth eyes Roman as Roman packs his clothing for this ski weekend. Roman had showed him videos of skiing and Seth wasn't looking forward to it. Roman had held him on his lap while they watched and Seth felt so warm and safe that he had agreed to try it. Now though he was regretting that decision. He didn't really want to ski and was scared he'd look silly falling all the time. Roman though had gotten him to say yes so he was stuck now.

They where going to stop at a mall on the way in order to get Seth some clothing. Randy had rented a van so they where all driving together. Seth crawls onto the bed and lays down watching Roman pack. He squeaks when a sweater is thrown over him. Roman chuckles as Seth curls up in it. "I was putting that out for me to wear. But I'm guessing it's yours now."

Seth nods and holds it close. "Feels warm."

Roman shakes his head and pulls out another sweater pulling it on. "we need to get you some clothing of your own."

Seth crinkles his nose. "I like how yours smells."

Roman moves the suitcase down beside the bed and then lays on the bed. He runs his fingers through Seth's hair and then looks down at him. "You know they'll be in our room. They'll pick up our scents."

Seth wiggles over and nuzzles against Roman's chest. "You smell like home.. and happiness. I just want them to smell like you.. "

Roman smiles softly and kisses Seth's temple. "I hope I always smell like that."

Seth nods and wraps his arms around Roman hiding his face in his chest.

Dean walks into the room and huffs. "You're not even ready to go."

Seth peeks up and Roman chuckles. Seth pulls on the sweater and stands up.

Dean shakes his head and looks over at Seth. "It's snowing where we're going."

Seth looks confused. "Snow?"

Dean cocks his head. "you never.. wait you've never been out of Florida of course you haven't seen snow."

Seth nods and follows Dean out, carrying an almost empty suitcase. Since they are buying him clothing Roman told him not to pack much. Dean gives Randy the suitcase and opens the back door. Seth crawls in and goes close to the window. Dean pokes Roman into the back seat as well. Seth immediately moves and wraps his arms around Roman. Roman rubs Seth's back and Dean and Randy gets in the van.

It takes them a few hours to get to the Ski town. The first thing is to stop by the mall. Roman leads Seth out and holds his hand as they walk to the mall. Seth takes in all the people. They enter the mall and it's packed with shoppers. Seth's eyes go wide and his tail fuzzes a little. Roman though keeps a hold of his hand and Seth looks around.

Seth whispers softly. "There's so many people."

Roman nods. "it's November. That's a pretty busy time."

Roman stays calm as he leads the nervous neko through the mall. Roman leads him into a clothing store and Dean follows.

Dean picks up a pink shirt and says teases Seth. "You should get this."

Seth crinkles his nose. "No thanks."

Dean grins and then pokes Seth. "You'd look cute. Come on you know you want it."

Seth shakes his head. "I don't like pink though. You could get it."

Dean shakes his head and puffs out his chest a little bit. "Not manly enough."

Seth raises his eyebrow. ".. I think it's just manly enough for you."

Dean gasps and pretends to be offended. "Did you just burn me?"

Seth looks confused and panic just a touch. "I didn't .. I don't have flame.. or anything hot.. I'm sorry.. are you hurt?"

Dean sighs and then wraps his arm around Seth's waist. "That's not.. Come on kitten. We are going to teach you the ways of slang. because you completely just burned the master."

Seth peeks back at Roman and then looks at Dean. "I.."

Roman sighs softly as he watches Seth get lead away by Dean. Actually a little thankful that Dean is distracting form the packed store. Seth seems at ease with the other Neko as Dean explains.

Randy walks over and hands Dean some pants.

Roman doesn't see Cody watching them from the store window. Cody glares but doesn't say anything. As much as Cody wants to just take the Neko. He wouldn't survive the fight with Roman or Randy. Then there's that other Neko that is watching over Seth. He wouldn't win either fight and Seth is never alone.

He looks up when he sees a deep voice from another man. "You're his first owner arn't you?"

Cody nods. "yes.. "

The man smirks. "I was his second until they stole him from me."

Cody nods and looks at him. "you're.. Ryback."

Ryback nods and smirks. "Yup.. he was a sweet little thing for me."

Cody nods and feels the need to shiver. Something about this guy scares him. Though Cody wanted Seth.. he wanted him to be his companion and his pet. Something about this guy just oozes the feeling of violence and pain. Cody looks over at the window and then when he turns around the man is gone.

Cody shakes his head. "He's not getting Seth."
