Pretty Boy Chapter 4- Shopping
Later that day, Reid took the money that Morgan had given him, and took the bus to the mall. As he walked through the doors, he automatically noticed several stares from the other mall patrons. "I guess I should have borrowed another one of Morgan's shirts." He said, blushing at the unwanted attention.
As he stepped into one of the stores, he noticed that the women who worked there were giving him dirty looks. "may I help you?" One of the women snarled.
Reid flinched but walked up to them none the less. "Um… yes, I don't really know much about shopping, c-could you help me find something please?"
The woman eyed him up and down, and frowned even more. "I'm sorry, but we don't sell things to people like you." She snapped.
Reid was taken aback, but he left the store and the whole mall all together. The bus ride back to the hotel had garnered him a few more stares, and he found himself wanting to curl in on himself even more.
As he got into his room, and away from the bell boy that seemed to be hitting on him, He sat on his bed in the guest room, and began to ball his eyes out.
Two hours later, Morgan came back, and noticed that the whole place was quiet. "Reid?" He called out, but he got no answer. Beginning to panic, he rounded the corner. It was then as he came closer to the guest room that he heard the strangled gasps for air, and the familiar sounds of crying.
When he opened the door, he found Reid curled up on the bed, with his back turned to him. Heavy sobs fell from the boy's lips, and they sounded painful. "Pretty Boy, what's wrong?" He asks, sitting on the side of the bed, and placing a comforting hand on the boy's back.
"I-I hate what I am! I hate it! All I ever get is dirty looks and stares!" Reid sobbed out.
"Pretty Boy, tell me what happened." Morgan begged, slightly taken aback when Reid shouted such a horrible thing.
"I-I went to the mall to get some clothes, and the whole time, people were staring at me, and treating me like shit. I don't wanna be what I am anymore. I'm so tired of it all." He sobbed even harder.
"Pretty Boy, why did you leave the mall without anything? The stares couldn't have been that bad to have made you run out." He soothed, rubbing the sad boy's back, trying futilely to get the boy to calm down.
"T-They said that they wouldn't help a person that's like me. I wanted to shrivel up and die so badly." He sobbed softer this time, finally taking comfort in the soft strokes going up and down his back.
"What!" Morgan was furious. Never in his life had he heard of such arrogance. "Come on, we're going back to that mall, and I'm talking to the manager." Morgan says, getting up, and sticking his hand out for the distraught boy to grab. Reid took it, and followed Morgan out the door.
When they arrived, the same two women were still working behind the counter. "Excuse me!" Morgan shouted angrily.
"Well hello sir, how may we help you?" The woman said nicely to him.
"I believe you owe my friend an apology!" Morgan said disgustedly at the woman.
The woman had a look on her face that looked like a deer caught in the headlights. "Y-Yes sir, I'm so sorry." She says, panicked.
"I demand to speak to your manager." Morgan calmed down a bit, but he was still angry.
Just then and slender man walked out of a room. "I'm the manager, how may I help you?" He said politely.
"Your employee refused to sell my friend any clothes, because of his job preference." Morgan says as Reid looks away and blushes.
"Oh my! I'm, so terribly sorry. I'll tell you what; I'll give him an outfit for free to show how sorry we are." The manager said, sending a dark glare to his employees.
"Thank you." Morgan said, taking Reid to go look for some clothes.
By the time they got out of the mall, Reid was wearing a tight gray Aropostel tee shirt, and a pair of tight jeans. When they got back into the hotel room, Morgan has a look of amusement on his face. "You know that bell boy has a thing for you right?"
"He's been making that obvious." Reid says blushing. "Thank you for today. You really didn't have to do that."
"Yes I did, I don't like to see anyone upset, and something needed to be done." Morgan says, stepping closer to Reid.
"Well thank you again." Reid blushes darker as Morgan gets closer.
"You're welcome Pretty Boy." Morgan says, kissing his forehead.
Reid's blush gets so dark Morgan fears that his face might explode. Realizing what he'd done, Morgan pulled away quickly. "Um…. Let's go watch a movie." Morgan says quickly, And Reid swears he was blushing too.
