You think it's going to slow me down that much? If I have to plan out two outfits then that's fine. It's not like I have extensive plans and scheduling while I'm here.
[ Into the clothing store we go then!! And then, just for his own personal amusement: ]
If I asked you to pick out some clothes you think is cool right now, what would you choose.
Shot down, because he is, and so is Grell. Presumably anyway, I didn't ask either of them about their eras but so I've heard.
Grell is very much into business suits, things that are sharp and crisp. [ He sifts through the store, all the while constantly looking Fukuda up and down, and comes back with a coat (in like, black) and a suit vest plus tie.
And then after a moment, he gets some that seem more era-appropriate. And throws them at Fukuda. ]
Oh, okay... [I don't know if this store has a changing room but it doesn't matter because Fukuda is just doing it here because like??? No one else is around so it's whatever??? He is just putting the first vest and such on over his normal clothes.
It doesn't fit quite right on him, and the coat is too big on his in a way that just seems ill fitting rather than an intentional style choice, but that might just be because of his general vibes. He is not a confident man.]
Anyway he will try the more Victorian option, though he makes a face and it's clear that something about how it's fitted on him is making him uncomfortable byt he doesn't complain.
His attempt to stand straighter is to just lift his head up and tense his shoulders this is not what straight means.]
It's technically the proper, ideal way to stand for good posture.
[ A second pull back because of the effect, and just to drive the point home he supposes. And then he also puts a hand on Fukuda's neck and makes sure he isn't slouching forward there, either. ]
[ Dudes got a whole three inches on Steven and he hasn't been doing shit about showing it well. Sad. ]
Stop sounding like this is all a pain in the ass, the only reason why I'm doing it is because you were moping ahout how Grell likes other people. If you don't want to put in the effort, I'm going back to my room.
That's because you're usually wearing vaguely ill-fitting shirts with suspenders, so not even a belt. "Proper" fashion doesn't always have to be suffering, but if it's to change Grell's mind, then this works, doesn't it?
[ I SAY THIS BECAUSE ITS BACKDATED but FukuGrell is sailing now so all is well. ]

[Was he wrong??? Anyway he should be concerned by the wild thing Steven just said but no he's just!!! That dedicated a friend!!! How nice.]
no subject
... What. And you're not experiencing the same? I thought we were free of this bullshit...
... Though I guess that does explain some things.
no subject
But I'm sure you'll be fine! It could be worse. One day is probably bearable.
no subject
[ TCH. Fine, he'll instead nudge Fukuda on the couch with his foot again, with a harder second go that's very purposeful. ]
Alright, get the hell up already. Do you want to look good for your second shot or not?
no subject
[But he will get up!!]
I do. And I'm grateful for your help, Steven.
no subject
Sure. Let's go and get this done fast.
no subject
[Pats Steven on the shoulder. Then heading out.]

[Not that he's just going to volunteer it! Anyway.]
Um.... I guess like, a leather jacket and sunglasses?
no subject
[ HE PUTS IT ON YOU APPARENTLY. ]
Can you imagine Sebastian in a leather jacket and sunglasses?
no subject
[OK BUT HE IS AND SO IS GRELL?]

Try these on.

Is this better?
[IS IT?]
no subject
Steven just doesn't even care. They're both dudes and it's just the top, at least it's not like Fukuda's just about to get dick out here. ]
Try the other one. And another thing --
Stand straighter.

Like that?
no subject
Steven just goes around behind Fukuda, and then puts his hands on Fukuda's shoulders.
Then just forces them both back, straightening his spine and making him stand a bit more proper with his chest out by doing so. ]
No, like this.
no subject
Is this.... is this a normal way to stand?
[It feels weird to him because he is only ever slouching.]
no subject

Now. Can you maintain good posture?
no subject
[Said with a tone that suggests he doesn't see how it will help.
His height advantage on Steven was probably not apparent until this exact moment and I just think that's something funny to point out.]

no subject
Sorry. I'll try to stand up straight.
[A beat.]
It's just a little hard to breathe in this vest, but I guess fashion is supposed to be uncomfortable, right?
no subject
[ I SAY THIS BECAUSE ITS BACKDATED but FukuGrell is sailing now so all is well. ]
Oh, and another thing.
Stop saying "sorry" so much.
