Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lawrence smiled at Xavi's reply to his question, looking over in confusion as Xavi's sentence died off. Lawrence actually laughed at his reply, not even caring that he was called "hobo stud" by Xavi. "You like it?" Lawrence said with a his own flirty smirk before he lead them to the limo. The driver stepped out to opened the door for the two, narrowing his eyes in confusion at Lawrence's bare chest. Lawrence ignored him and let Xavi into the car first. Once the door was shut and the car was moving, Lawrence reached over to unclip the boy's leash. He wasn't a freaking animal and it bugged Lawrence to see that he was treated like one. It was a bit hypocritical for Lawrence to buy Xavi if he disliked the fact that the boy was treated like an animal but maybe he could view it as saving the boy's a** from the next person who would have walked in the slave shop and spotted Xavi's pretty face. The next person could have been some sadistic sicko for all Lawrence knew and the idea actually bugged him.

"Take us to the closet shopping district please," Lawrence said, smiling at the driver who hated to take orders from Lawrence. It was so fun to see how annoyed he got at the smallest thing but hey, Lawrence was paying him. As they sat and the car moved towards the shopping district, Lawrence ran his fingers through his hair in attempt to straighten it out and get rid of the knots. He'd considered cutting it all off many times but Lawrence found that he simply couldn't do it. He loved his long silver hair.

Looking over at Xavi, Lawrence looked him up and down before randomly asking, "What do you like? Or dislike? How old are you?". He wanted to know something about the boy so that he wouldn't end up doing something Xavi didn't like and so that he would be able to make him a happy little pet. He wanted to learn about the boy since he was planning on keeping the pretty thing around with. Lawrence had bought him to keep company anyways. The arrived quickly and Lawrence waited to find out some stuff about Xavi.

Lawrence grinned at Xavi's enthusiasm and didn't seem to mind when Xavi flew into Lawrence's lap. Lawrence blinked and dropped his hand to told the boy around his waist as he saw scolded for trying to comb out his hair. He could only smile as the boy pilled out a comb and started getting rid of the tangles. Xavi was very unexpected but Lawrence didn't care. He could be very unexpected as well. Taking into account all the things Xavi liked and disliked, Lawrence guessed that he would need to toss out any clothes that were beige, striped, or made of sweatpants material to avoid more scoldings and being called "hobo stud". "Anything cute... Like you," he said in a flirty tone. "Or cats. I have one. Her name is Meemo.... And I hunt every now and then but not just for fun. To feed myself. I'm a shape shifter and I shift into a wolf. I don't think I've mentioned that. What I dislike is mainly pests. Like mice and bugs although Meemo takes care of nice and rats. That's about it," Lawrence said, purposely not mentioning his fear of water. Lawrence didn't think it was necessary for his pet to know about that. Xavi might make fun of him and being made fun of was another thing his disliked. Didn't everyone dislike that?

"Anyways, we're here, sweetheart." Lawrence said "sweetheart" in a teasing tone and with a smile. It seemed to fit Xavi. When the driver parked and got out to open the door for them Lawrence simply swept Xavi up in his arms and then got out, kissing the boy's cheek quickly before he let Xavi own. Lawrence took Xavi's hand with a small grin to the male before he lead them into the mall. They got a few strange looks (either from the fact that there were two men holding hands or the fact that one of them were shirtless) but Lawrence could care less. "Where do you want to shop? Pick out whatever clothes you want and I'll get you it," Lawrence said as he gave their hands a playful swing. Lawrence was considering buying some clothes too since a lot of his clothes happened to be striped and he had a fair amount of sweaters and sweat pants and those were all going in the garbage when he went home. He didn't want to upset his precious new pet over his choice of clothes so he would need to ask for Xavi's opinion if he bought anything.

Lawrence smiled at Xavi's reaction to Lawrence telling him that he was a shifter but Lawrence personally didn't think he was cute in his human or wolf form. When Xavi mentioned spoiling Meemo rotten, Lawrence could only wonder how much more you could spoil her. As long as Meemo didn't get fat and lazy from being spoiled even more by Xavi, Lawrence would be fine with Xavi spoiling her.

When Lawrence was suddenly dragged into a shop and pushed into a chair in front of a changing room, He just blinked and watched as Xavi rushed off to get clothes just as quickly as he'd come into the shop. The man just smiled and turned to watch Xavi grab clothes, trying to figure out what exactly Xavi liked and disliked when it came to style. Lawrence had no sense of style actually. That was clear when Xavi stepped into the change room and came out looking for Lawrence's opinion. The shifter looked Xavi from head to toe, blinking at the tight pants. Lawrence couldn't imagine wearing anything that tight but just smiled and nodded. "I like it," was the most he could say. Lawrence couldn't add much more considering the fact that he was going to end up tossing out half of his clothes if not more once Xavi saw what Lawrence had in his closer. Lawrence rarely left his property so it never really mattered to begin with.

Peeking around Xavi to see what he had inside the change room, Lawrence took a moment to glance at the shops outside, wondering if they would end up shopping in any of those. "Oh... Let's shop there next," Lawrence said with a grin on his face as he pointed at the shop across from them called the "Love Shack". "I'll buy you the outfit in the window," Lawrence joked as he nodded to a bunny costume. "The rabbit ears and tail would suit you well, don't you think, Xavi?" the man added, sure he was going to get himself smacked but making such a joke but he was simply teasing.

[[I wrote my reply but my computer just LOVES to log me out of gaia when I hit submit. ]]

Lawrence waited patiently as Xavi got his clothes. He didn't midst he wait. He just watched with an entertained expression the boy ran around, getting changed into all of the clothes. He actually liked the outfit Xavi had on and found himself staring at the boy's long, hairless legs, not minding that he'd already tossed out his old clothes. Lawrence had noticed that most of the pants Xavi picked seem to show off his long legs. Lawrence could have given himself a good pat on the back for picking out such and attractive slave and Lawrence was getting to like his flirty, active attitude as well. Especially he didn't get a smack across the face of his suggestion but a whispered that made him smirk. Xavi was simply too much fun and Lawrence was really going to enjoy having him around to keep him company. He definitely wouldn't be lonely in his huge house with his talkative, new, green haired friend.

Lawrence stood as he was pulled up by his hand, going over to the register and waiting for the woman behind the counter to scan everything. She eyed the two of them strangely a few times but all Lawrence did was flash a smile and she'd look down with a soft blush. Lawrence hoped Xavi didn't mind that. It was a habit if his but once he paid, he took the bags for Xavi after saying thanks to the girl who was surprised at how much they'd bought. "Did you want anything else? Are you hungry? We can go over to the food court and find you some food unless you would rather go home and eat there. I need to pick up a few things quickly before he go though. Are you alright with that?" Lawrence said, smiling at Xavi.

Lawrence smiled as Xavi's stomach growled loudly and lead them to the food court so that he could find them a table. He didn't mind the "adorable sexy slave" attached to his arm at all and really was glad he'd picked him up. Seating them at a table where it wasn't as crowded, Lawrence placed all the bags down and quickly counted how many there were so that they could make sure they left with all of the bags. "What would you like to eat? I'll go and grab it for you as long as you don't pick up the clothes and make a run for it," Lawrence joked. Well... not really. He wouldn't be happy to lose his new pet after all the money he had spent on him. Not that it was a lot of Lawrence's money anyways. Lawrence had enjoyed seeing Xavi so happy to get new clothes. Wrapping his arm around Xavi's waist, Lawrence glanced around them to see where Xavi might want to get food from. Lawrence would eat at home when he got hungry. If Xavi didn't run away while Lawrence was getting the boy some food, maybe Lawrence could get the few things he needed while Xavi was eating then they could go back and Lawrence could show Xavi his new home.

Lawrence smiled at his puppy eyes as he asked to have chinese food and nodded. "Oh, so you're leaving me as soon as you learn enough about me?" Lawrence asked with a smirk before he stood and kissed Xavi's head. "I'll go get you your ride and dumplings then. Watch they stuff okay? If anything happens just call or something," Lawrence said before he headed off towards the food stand. He waited in line, getting the food in a take out box. It was fresh so that was good enough for his Xavi. Lawrence grabbed a pair of chopsticks, a fork just in case, and some packages of soya sauce. Placing in in front of Xav, Lawrence leaned down and kissed his cheek. "I'm going to get a few things. I'll be back soon," the man said before he headed off, leaving some money on the table for Xavi just in case he would need it. Hopefully not because that would mean getting up and possibly leaving the bags.

Lawrence returned shortly with a bag of pet food. It was for Meemo but it was dog food since the feline was a domesticated wild cat. "I hope I didn't take too long... I got you a present," Lawrence said with a smile. He placed a bag that said "Love Shack" and both sides and another bag from a jewellery store. Inside was a new collar for Xavi. It still had the same colours, material, and charms. It was simply a lot nicer than the ratty old thing around Xavi's neck.

Lawrence didn't seem to mind as Xavi was suddenly in his lap. He smiled and nuzzled his cheek before he tried to get the old collar off. It seemed whoever put it on did it so that it couldn't come off. Slave collars weren't supposed to after all. So without somehow choking Xavi, he simply tore the old collar and tossed it into the neared trash can. He was glad Xavi liked the collar and carefully put it on the boy. He made sure it wasn't too tight then smiled to see that it matched his Xavi perfectly. "Wait theres one more thing," he said as he pulled the Love Shack bag towards them. He lifted the other bag that had been for the collar and pulled out a pair of rabbit ears with a smirk. He slid them onto Xavi's head, finding it hard to believe that the cashier had convinced Lawrence to get the bottoms that had a fluffy white tail attached to the back. Lawrence left those in the bag and stuffed the bag from the collar into the Love Shack bag as well. Leaning over to see Xavi with the new collar and bunny ears, Lawrence chucked and kissed his cheek. "You're too cute," the man said with a grin.

After hugging Xavi and nuzzling his neck, Lawrence let go and left him in his lap. "Are you done eating then? Should we head home?" Lawrence asked. He'd had a room prepared for Xavi but hoped the boy would share his room instead. Lawrence had never been a big fan of sleeping alone even though Meemo would cuddle with him every now and then. He hoped that Xavi would like his new home as well. Lawrence was going to enjoy having the boy around to keep him company after Lawrence had gone so long without having anyone around for him at al.
