 ?? Alex turned to her, eyes wide in surprise at the sudden declaration. There was a lot of ways he could've responded to that. Plenty of ways that would've made sense... But really, out of all of them, one needed to be addressed. ".... You're... Going to get me something for Christmas-?" He... Had to admit, he had not even CONSIDERED the possibility of Christmas over the past few weeks, since things had just been that hectic. Looking back on it, he likely considered that if the group decided to do something like that, it would've just been a simple gathering for all of the God-tiers so they could have a gift exchange. Maybe Christmas Dinner. He... SUPPOSED Yang fit into that description since she lived with Todd now, but even then the thought hadn't come to him. Yang after all, was still very much her own woman. She had no real connection to many of the other god-tiers... At least not yet. So... To hear this was odd... And oddly pleasing. ... AFTER A MOMENT, he turned his head away and cleared his throat. "I mean yeah sure, if you want. I'd appreciate it-." Quite a bit. "Still um... why clothes? I mean, I'd appreciate it, but like I said I've got plen-THIS IS ABOUT US GETTING BACK ON TRACK ISN'T IT." The realization hit mid-sentence. Well the distraction was great while it lasted.... |

Yang chuckled and nodded. "3 pairs of pants and another shirt and I'll call it a good trip. Okay?" she offered with a bit of a laugh in her voice.

Alex pouted a bit, but with a groan he nodded in agreement. "Alright... That sounds fair... Come on, let's get this over with." Well he was being slightly pouty about it, but the added incentive definitely seemed to get him into some form of action. Taking a deep breath, he walked towards one of the clothing stores, Aeropostale, to get to his much disliked task. CLOTHES SHOPPING.
------------------
Seriously, there was a REASON Alex disliked clothes shopping. It was such a hassle.
Even more so then that however, there was another kind of hassle that just made the initial trip even worse. All of his normal clothes had been obliterated during Rendface's attack on the session. As such didn't really have any kind of normal clothes he could use to sample for measurements that could fit him. So his first time into a dressing room, he had to grab a wide range of sizes to get a general feel for what would fit... One size jeans was too loose around the waist, one size was long enough in length but too narrow around the waist (Speaking of which, Alex was momentarily caught off guard when he looked into a mirror and realized that the nerd chub he originally had when he started the game had been replaced with something much more trim. Not really muscle but not really fatty either), one size was too roomy for both...
Whenever he got a size wrong, he would grumble to himself impatiently and toss the pants over the door. Well, at least he only needed pants, he had already gotten a few new fandom shirts earlier from Hot Topic-
WAIT. PERFECT FIT. PERFECT FIT JEANS. YES FINALLY. FUCKIN' FINALLY.
When he relayed the measurements to Yang, she was quick to collect a few more pair, those jeans all fit aside from one odd man out that was mislabeled. Still that was four new pairs of jeans.
"Well that's one step down~." He changed back into his god-tier robes. "Now I should get a few shirts... Should be a few here in the store." He grouped all of the fitting pairs of jeans onto a new card and placed them into his Void Modus until he was ready to check out. With that, he opened the door and looked out to Yang. "Okay I've got some pants, lets look around for some shirts."
Well at least Yang had the decency not to say 'it's about time'... Or at least that's what Alex imagined she'd say. It wasn't like he enjoyed wasting his time fumbling over clothing sizes.

Yang nodded.
-
"Workers at Aeropostal are worse than Cardin. I kinda like the vibe here," she offered as she looked through some of the shirts.

Well at least the shirt hunt would be a significantly shorter hassle. "Alright let's see what we got here..." As he looked through the clothes, his gaze turned to Yang whom seemed to be helping him look... It was.... Certainly a trip for him to watch Yang help him shop for clothes... ".... Hey uh.... Yang? Can I ask you a question?"
That caught her attention at the very least.
He thought for a moment, trying to find the best way to word this... After a moment, he had his answer.
"Why go through all of this trouble for my sake? We haven't known each other for that long... And god help me, our last outting on the town was... Well...." Catastrophic? End of the World Worthy? Destructive? Chaotic? Pure what-the-fuckery? ... Well either way, shit was wrecked and most of the city still needed repairs. "You know what I mean..."

"You mean a royal cluster crap? And I wanted to pay Todd's help forward," she offered. "And I owe you one."

........ ?
Alex's eyes narrowed somewhat, looking the woman over curiously. "You.... Owe me one?" he racked his brain a bit trying to remember a time when Yang would've owed him anything... A lot of things came and gone, but the only real thing he could think of was covering that brief lunch stop at the cafe the day they met...
And that, to him didn't sound like much at all. "You owe me for what-?"

"I owe you for the meeting day..." She offered not wanting to actually say 'because I felt like I owed you for not killing me.'

........
Alex didn't really buy it. They agreed on the bill fairly. That wasn't enough to inspire this. He could tell that right off...
He reached over and tapped her on the head. "Yang.... Tell me what's really up." she opened her mouth to speak- "Please?"

Yang sighed. It took her a bit to find the words. "I lied saying I wasn't completely in control of myself during the cluster crap that happened in town... I was the one you fought with... just the appearance was altered... In that slip of judgement I wasn't in my right mind but I was in control... I felt guilty lying so... yeah..." The girl answered in a low whisper.

............... Oh...
................. Oooooh....
..... Alex looked down, taking a moment to let that sink in. ".... I see." He could see that Yang was really struggling with this... He supposed he was somewhat grateful. That didn't EXACTLY pertain to him trying to kill her... More likely, it pertained to her provoking every second of his attack...
..... He snapped his fingers. GOT IT.
He circled around the shirt rack, smiling widely. "Yang... Neither of us were in right states of mind you know... Plus... Well..." He looked down, looking ashamed about something. ".... I have no idea what the Horror-terrors would have made me do... If you hadn't interferred... There's no telling what I would've done. I... I probably would have done something much worse then level the entire city... He smiled to Yang.
"Sure... You attacked me. But by attacking me, you saved the city, you saved the island... You... Saved me."

"Careful how loud you talk about that thing...." Yang quickly reminded him.

He went back to whispering, realizing this. "Right... But... My point still stands... Yang... If anything should be happening here, should've happened back then... I should have been thanking you for stopping me." He smiles a bit. "So... Thank you. Thank you very much Yang... If anything... I owe YOU something... For helping me..."
For hurting you. He wanted to add...

Yang set her things down and pulled the boy close to her into a hug. A whispered "Thank you~!" reached his ears as Yang held him close.

Alex was pulled into a hug..... And if he had to admit, it was a hug he had not been expecting at all. Pulled in up close to her, feeling some of her body on his, try as he might not to notice it. Needless to say, he went quite red in the face as Yang held him... It helped nothing that Yang's grip on him was quite tight... Like, surprisingly tight.
HAhaha, now he knew how Ruby felt. "Hahaha, you're welcome. Um, Yang... No disrespect or anything but... That..." He had to take a breath. "Kinda hurts-??" He sounded slightly short of breath.
