Rolling his eyes, he sits up straight when he notices that they're about to arrive. The area doesn't look all that inviting. More like something he'd have exchanged money, or his body, for Strega's suppressants. He raises an eyebrow at the building, but otherwise he's quiet.

Whatever kind of weird thing he's been dragged to, it's better than Jade driving up to a place from Shinjirou's past. He relaxes visibly, shoulders slouching as he enters with Jade, though he does let his gaze wander in curiousity. The art's a bit strange. Otherwise there's nothing that looks all that interesting; he can't find any dangerous telltale signs that he's going to be in trouble. It might have something to do with Jade speeding through the corridor, though. And then the final door opens before him.

He blinks at the unexpected sight. Toys, clothes, candles, movies. There's everything you'd expect from a sex shop, not that he's ever been to one. He glances at Jade, narrowing his eyes. "Hah. Do I get to pick now, too?" He tries his best to sound like he's still agitated. In a way, he is -- but this is much less terrible than it could have been.

Despite the usual smile that plays across Jade's face, his eyes are sharp when he looks at Shinjirou. Shinjirou may sound ruffled now, but Jade hadn't failed to notice the way Shinjirou had relaxed as soon as they had entered the building. Jade has to wonder why - does Shinjirou still expect him to do him harm?

Well, admittedly, he wouldn't be wrong.

"It's why I brought you here." This time, he stands still, hands tucked into his pockets, waiting for Shinjirou to start exploring.

There's a lot he's curious about, yet at first he hesitates, not even taking another step forward. Then he reminds himself of the hard facts: Jade may own him and Jade may have made him do things that are considered unacceptable, but especially when it comes to sex, Shinjirou trusts him. Not with his past, not with his friends, but with his body, entirely.

Realizing that, he wanders into the shop, letting his eyes travel here and there, hands reaching out to touch -- leather, latex, glass, wood, plastic. It's surprising how many different materials and with that, how many different textures his fingertips brush over. "I guess you already have some of this kind of stuff at home?"

When his gaze passes over a whip, he turns away, cheeks reddening. He isn't even sure if his pleasure in that situation had been sexual. Instead of pondering his mind's crooked state, he picks up a chain of colorful balls. They're smooth to the touch. He licks his lips, imagining where they're supposed to go. "Most guys I've been with weren't too big on toys."

"Only the basics." Jade easily falls into step beside him, looking but rarely touching. Most of the things he's seen before, and anyway, Shinjirou is going to be the one using the toys. His own preferences don't really matter.

He stops when Shinjirou does, pretending not to see the whip. There's no need to get a new one - he's barely mastered the one he has right now, and he's hoping that it won't be the sort of thing they do often.

"Interesting," he responds, watching the redness of Shinjirou's tongue as it darts out to wet his lips. "I'm quite fond of toys myself." Using them on other people, that is, though he doesn't see the need to elaborate. When it comes to himself, Jade prefers taking care of his needs as quickly and simply as possible. "But they need to be cleaned quite thoroughly after use; perhaps they simply didn't want to expend that kind of effort on you."

"They definitely didn't." He puts the balls back, wandering over to an array of plugs in sizes that range from how does it even stay inside to how do you even get it inside. Picking up one of the medium-sized plugs, he turns towards Jade. "They don't want to play, they want to fuck."

He's never had any delusions about the guys that express any interest in him. They see him and what they see is someone that won't tell anyone that they like fucking teenagers, someone that no one will miss. The latter isn't really true, but he knows that's what they think. And it's okay, he can't blame them.

"I'll have to clean them myself, so you're not really that much different." Shrugging, he puts the plug back as well. After cupping it's girth in his hands, he thinks he'd prefer something larger. Thankfully, he doubts Jade can read his mind that well. "What are the basics? I know girls like vibrators, but ... uh, I'm not a girl."

"Dildos, plugs, cockrings." He lists them out without a hint of self-consciousness. "Vibrators too. They're for men as well, you know."

I can show you later, goes unsaid, but it's implied. Jade reaches out to pick up a another plug, large and lightly ribbed. "They're all rather plain, I'm afraid. I wasn't sure how much experience my slave would have. If I had known it would be you..."

He returns the plug to its place, picking up an even larger one.

"Yeah?" He glances at a stack of vibrators in their original packaging. All of them show O-faced women. Still, he's sort of curious what it would feel like. Fortunately, it seems like he's going to find out sooner or later. "If you say so."

He watches in silence as Jade inspects the plugs. The first one looks interesting, though he isn't sure if he'd be able to feel the texture all that much inside. Then Jade continues to speak and takes up a plug that would definitely require a good amount of lube to get in.

The urge to stick his tongue out is hard to resist. He raises his chin and covers the plug Jade has picked up with both hands. It isn't hard to figure out what Jade's implying here. Shinjirou tries something he otherwise hardly does: take a breath and not let himself be teased into aggression. "If it's too big I'll be too loose, huh." On the other hand, as preparation in case he'll have to take two cocks at once, it could come in handy.

"It's your choice." He puts it back once he's done examining it. Mostly, he just enjoys the thought of seeing Shinjirou struggle to fit something so big into himself. Whether or not he'll be too loose afterwards hadn't entered Jade's thoughts, though now that it's on his mind, he can see the potential for mischief. "There's no need to worry about what I think."

Which, as always, isn't entirely true. But Shinjirou has more freedom here than in choosing clothes, at least.

"I really doubt that." And yet he's not worried. Proper attire is annoying, scratchy and embarrassing -- all of the toys seem tame in comparison to walking around wearing something that feels unnatural. Which doesn't mean the tips of his ears aren't heating up when he voices his opinion: "... I want something big."

Jade has seen him do worse than admit to that, but his heartbeat still speeds up. "Something I have to work up to." He can't be honest about his past, nor the things Jade wouldn't even believe, but he can at least be honest about this.

Getting Shinjirou to open up is an important step, but Jade is as nonchalant as ever when he nods thoughtfully. "Alright. Then let's find something suitable."

This time, he immediately reaches for the biggest one they have on display. It's smooth and sturdy in his hands, and he has to wonder if they can get it into Shinjirou and keep it inside him for any length of time. "This one, perhaps? We can get something a little smaller as well, if you're planning to work up to it."

Rubbing his arms, he takes a look at Jade's choice. The toy is massive, definitely much larger than anything he's had inside before. He nods slowly, reaching out to take the plug out of Jade's hands. It isn't as heavy as he thought it would be, but holding it himself, he realizes that its size is nothing to underestimate -- and that he really wants to try it anyway.

"Uh-hu, I, uhm, think that's a good idea, probably." He can no longer look Jade in the eye, his face so hot he wonders if he looks like a boiled lobster. "And do I get to pick that, too?"

There's more plugs, of course, and maybe the obvious answer is the right answer here as well. Nothing has been all that obvious when it comes to Jade so far, though. Shinjirou glances at the dildos, enough of them also rather big ... and some are shaped in a way that looks more like they're just for decoration rather than for shoving it up one hole or another. Others just look like a regular dick. They're almost boring in comparison.

Shinjirou looks very red, all of a sudden. Jade wonders if it's because he's holding the toy, feeling just how big it is; it certainly isn't something Jade would be able to use on himself.

"You can pick anything you like," he confirms, looking straight at him with a pleasant smile. There are some things Jade is interested in, but he can just buy them in addition to what Shinjirou picks. There's no reason to restrict Shinjirou's freedom in this area. "As much as you like too. Provided it's a reasonable amount, of course."

"Okay." Remembering the jittery slaves he'd spent a few days with, he doubts they'd have been able to pick anything without having a minor or major meltdown. He's not against Jade spending money on him, technically -- men have paid him before and this isn't all that different -- but he doesn't need anything and he's not going to pretend otherwise just to get a rise out of Jade.

He puts the plug back into Jade's hands with a quick glance up. Yeah, he's not surprised to find Jade smiling. With a bit of effort he manages not to wipe his hands off on his pants, the sensation of holding something that's going to be inside of him sooner rather than later lingering on his fingertips.

Strolling towards the more colorful selection of dildos, he eventually takes one that isn't insanely huge, but would for most people still be a difficult, if not impossible fit. Crimson and ribbed, it looks more like a toy than its skin-colored brothers. Without taking the time to check for Jade's reaction, figuring that it'll be amusement again, he shoves the dildo into Jade's arms. "There."

Shinjirou is entirely correct - Jade is smiling, though it's rare for him not to. He takes it without comment, stacking it on top of a box that hadn't been there before. While Shinjirou had been busy making his choice, Jade had done a little shopping of his own; the dildo he had settled on is long and slightly curved, made from clear glass inset with deep crimson whorls.

"Is that all?" He asks, taking in Shinjirou's downcast eyes and the flush that still stains his cheeks. Seeing people squirm is always entertaining, doubly so when it's someone he knows.

While he raises an eyebrow at the box that has appeared out of seemingly nowhere, he doesn't attempt to peek inside. If there's more than what he picked himself inside, he figures he'll get to see and feel that anyway later.

Nodding, he turns away. "Yeah. I mean ... you already have some other stuff, right?" And he honestly doesn't know what kind of reaction he'll have to those basics. He wasn't lying when he said that no one ever used toys on him; he can only imagine what some are even for, whether he'll like vibrating toys or just find it awkward. Wondering about that definitely makes him feel awkward and his shuffling feet are sadly proof of that.

"Can we go now?"

"Already?" He glances at the store around them, slow and deliberate, pretending to be unaware of Shinjirou's desire to be gone. "We haven't seen everything yet."

It's true; there are still plenty of sections they could look through. The store is a large one, well-stocked with high quality items. It's why Jade had chosen to come - well, that and because it's run by one of his associates. Shinjirou's training is more of a distraction than Jade had originally thought it would be, which makes it all the more important for him to continue currying favour with his contacts however he can.

Rolling his eyes, he looks over his shoulder at Jade. "Fine, let's look at everything and then leave." Just running through the store won't do for Jade, he knows. Being here still isn't as much of a nightmare as having Jade drag him through the city where everyone can see them and so he's more willing to accept his defeat quickly.

He moves forward, looking left and right, at times poking one of the toys. Some are shaped so oddly he really can't tell what you'd do with them, others so small he wonders how you'd make sure not to lose them. While curious, he hesitates and doesn't try to switch on any of the vibrators.

Especially those leave an impression that's not just to do with embarrassment. He points at a price tag and taps it. "Didn't know sex toys could be that expensive."

It's interesting, the way that Shinjirou so willingly digs his own holes. Jade would have been happy to leave if Shinjirou insisted on it. But he didn't, and Jade isn't about to let him know about the missed opportunity. It's probably for the better that Shinjirou takes even little comments as orders anyway.

He follows after Shinjirou at a sedate pace, noting where his eyes linger and doing some looking of his own - he's always been curious about some of the more heavily-textured toys, and the ones that resembled animal anatomy more than they did humans. Up ahead, he can see other things: ropes and chains, braided leather and gleaming buckles. Strangely, he feels no real urge to explore there.

At the comment, Jade glances down briefly at the price tag. It seems quite typical, to him, and he shrugs slightly. "I suppose they're less expensive than constantly buying sex." Taking a step closer, his elbow brushes lightly against Shinjirou. "Let's hope they're worth it."

"Yeah, I dunno. There's always kids that will give you sex in exchange for a sandwich and a bottle of water." Or for free, in his case, not that he says that out loud. The touch catches him off-guard and he glances up, making the mistake to look Jade straight in the eye. He can feel the color creeping back up his neck to settle on his cheeks. "Uh, yes, let's."

The reality of actually using the toys seems less far away when Jade puts it like that. Buying stuff means you're going to use it. At least Jade really doesn't appear like the type of person who throws money out the window just for shits and giggles.

Clearing his throat, he straightens and raises his chin. "When are you going to test them?" Well, he's going to be the one testing them, mostly, but he doesn't expect Jade to let him do that in private. Not that Shinjirou wants that; he wants Jade to look at him trying to stretch himself past what he thinks he's capable of.

Shinjirou's attempt at looking confident would be much more believable if he hadn't been blushing two seconds ago. As it is, Jade only continues to smile, before tapping at his chin and feigning a thoughtful look.

"I suppose we'll see." It's definitely not going to be tonight, though, not with how sore Shinjirou must be from yesterday. He might enjoy the soreness, but Jade would rather give him a night or two to recuperate. "Are you that eager to get started?"

Of course he is; it's more of a rhetorical question than anything.

"Shut up." It's not a no and he doesn't elaborate either. Yes, he's curious, but Jade must know that anyway. He's not going to make him smirk by proving him right. Instead he quickly leads the way through the rest of the shop, no longer taking the time to investigate when something looks interesting to him.

When they finally arrive at the counter, he feels oddly tired. The night before, now this little adventure and learning that Jade knows more than he lets on ... there'll be dinner to prepare, at the very least, but maybe he can take a short nap on their way home. He's drained and he'll need a bit more energy for the rest of the day.

Taking a step back, he hides behind Jade, looking down. He doesn't want to talk to the cashier, that's for sure.

Jade pays without comment - the total comes out higher than all their other purchases put together - and in a few minutes they're back in the car, heading home this time. He lets Shinjirou be for the most part. It's only after they get back to the house, unload the purchases and step over the threshold that Jade finally turns to look at Shinjirou again, an expectant light in his eyes.

To his own surprise, he's managed to fall asleep in the car, just for a few minutes. Dizzily following Jade back into the house, he yawns just when Jade turns around to look at him. He stops, mid-movement, then lowers his gaze. "What?"

The question isn't really meant to get an answer. He pulls the tie off and undresses, layer by layer, until the only part that isn't bare is the line around his neck where the collar clings to his throat. "I'll do the laundry now, I guess." Again, he doesn't wait for an answer and takes a step towards the bathroom.

Irvin bounds up to them before Jade can reply, his tail wagging furiously as he barks and circles around them, pressing against their legs and licking at any exposed skin he can find. Jade scratches him behind the ears, but the dog seems to prefer staying close to Shinjirou.

"I might take Irvin for a walk while you're doing your chores." There's no reason to force Shinjirou outside. He's unsettled him enough today.

Irvin's happy to see them and at first, Shinjirou feels the same. He bends down to say hi, but the moment Irvin's fur runs over his bare leg, he jumps and instinctively distances himself from the dog. The memory of having that very same fur brush all over his back and ass and thighs is like a slap in the face after spending a few hours surrounded by completely normal, innocent people.

He takes a deep breath, pressing the folded-up clothes against his chest. "Yeah, sure. Whatever. Anything you want for dinner?"
