Washington DC - Monday

[itsananomaly]

The trip to the museum yesterday had proved to be very successful, Cutter had loved visiting and talking about everything with Connor and even with the other tourists who had mistaken him for a tour guide but he hadn’t minded answering the additional questions at all.

After a quick dinner yesterday and seeing some of the sights yesterday, Cutter and Connor decided to spend their last full day in Washington DC, doing a bit of shopping and eating out a nice restaurant … Lester was really not going to like his credit card bill after this.

They had found a nice clothes shop to start with, Connor had persuaded Cutter that he needed a new jacket and Cutter really had no idea what he was looking for.

“There are so many choices,” he marvelled as he looked at what jackets were on display.

"Sounds like a plan, can always go all out with the dressier one ya know," Connor said with a grin looking his boyfriend up and down with an approving nod. "Get you a jacket, shirt, maybe even a hat- really see what Nick Cutter looks like dressed to the nines."

“Oh that would be nice, I don’t have anything that fancy,” Cutter admitted as he reluctantly took off his leather jacket and turned his attention to the dressier jackets, “how about this?” he suggested as he held up a very nice brown coat.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Connor considered it a moment, imagining the potential full look and gave an approving nod. "That one looks really good on ya, Nick. Lots of good potentials there too... shirt, tie, hat...." Connor trailed off. It was suddenly getting quite warm in the shop for some reason.

Cutter smiled happily at Connor, turning a little red as he did, “I noticed there were hats and ties, over there on display,” he nodded in the direction, “we could see if they’ve got anything that matches the jacket, I think keeping it all brown would be best, a brown hat and a brown tie, I’m not sure about the shirt though,” he considered.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Ah yes, let's see...." Connor said as he walked over the short distance to the display and started looking over the options, glancing back at Cutter a few times as he picked out a couple of options.

"Maybe these?" he asked, holding up the first tie and hat. "And far as shirt, other than the typical boring white, maybe a nice red or a blue might go well with all the brown?"

[itsananomaly]

“A blue shirt might be nice,” Cutter considered, as he studied the hat and tie, “I’ll try on the hat and tie see how it goes with the jacket?, maybe it would be nice to go with a dark blue shirt?”

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Oh yes, please do try it all on. Connor was definitely not going to say no.

"Dark blue I think would look really nice...." Connor hesitated and then grinned as he handed the tie and hat over. "Competent your eyes nicely I think."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter was blushing bright red now as he took the hat and tie, “well if that’s the case,” he grinned and he went over to the shirts and picked up a nice deep blue one, “I’ll go try these on. I’ll be tight back,”

And then several minutes later Cutter was back wearing the brown hat, blue shirt and brown jacket and brown tie, “I think we could do the whole outfit at this point, maybe get nice brown pants to go with it and shoes?” he stared down at the jeans and joggers he was wearing with the outfit, “I don’t think these go with the rest of the outfit,” he grinned.

Lester was so going to love this credit card bill.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Hummmm? Sorry, were you talking? Connor was just a bit distracted right now.

"Oh yeah, might.... might as well. I mean what's two more pieces right?" Connor said finally once he could say something coherent. "Could always just buy it all and wear it back to the hotel..."

And there was absolutely so ulterior motive involved there at all!

[itsananomaly]

“Oh is that a promise?” Cutter grinned playfully as he walked over to Connor to show off the outfit up close, because that’s what Connor needed right now, wasn’t it? “I think this outfit could prove to be very … versatile,” he paused at that, fully aware of what he was doing right there.

Sorry Connor.

“But I think I will buy the pants and shoes, I mean … I could also wear it to dinner tonight as well,” his grin widened as he started to go a bright red.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

Oh you were an evil evil man at times Cutter.

"Would make sense... break it in right" Connor said as he felt his cheeks flush. "You did want it for a date night after all" he added with a smirk. "Though now I fee like I am going to be severely underdressed for this outing by the time you are done."

[itsananomaly]

“Well this is all being generously provided by Lester,” Cutter grinned, indicating the pile of clothing already in his hands, “I think we could get you a new date night outfit as well, in addition to your …gloves,” yes he was still going rather red as he said that, “what do you think? Any colours or styles take your fancy?”

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Ah well ya know, basically layers...." Connor gave a small laugh. "But I'm sure I can find something on the dressier side of things" He looked over at Cutter and smiled. "Since Lester is paying for it and all."

[itsananomaly]

“Oh I think we can definitely find you something very nice and dressy to wear, especially since these are being paid for by Lester,” Cutter smiled at him with a tilt of his head as he studied Connor and then looked over at the jackets first, “I think a nice dark blue or black would work best,” he considered, as he placed down his pile of clothing to start helping Connor with his selections, “what do you think?” he said as he started to hold up a couple of different very nice and very expensive jackets.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Think black is a nice safe bet" Connor said after considering the two options for a moment. "Can always accessories with the shirt and gloves, change up the look. But black is a nice option - could work for a range of things right?"

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled warmly at that, “oh definitely, black will work great with so many options,” he grinned, “and I see there’s a few styles we can choose from,” he added, “you could go for one of these jackets,” he considered, holding it up and showing it off, it was black with a flare of red in the lining of the jacket. "What do you think?"

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh I do like that one! Could match the red with the gloves and either a tie or scarf" Connor said as he took the jacket and smiled broadly.

[itsananomaly]

“Or maybe you could get both and then we decide which one to wear later?” Cutter grinned, “but I think red is definitely the colour to go with, I’m sure we could find a nice pair of dressy red gloves to go with the outfit,” he considered.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Oh look at you, being all smart AND sexy" Connor said with a grin. "Alright, tie and a scarf both it is. And Im sure we can find a good pair of gloves somewhere around here" he added with a smirk.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter preened a little at that, he did like those compliments very much Connor, "I do occasionally have my moments," he returned the smirk, "shall we find some pants and shoes to go with the jacket and then you can model your new clothes for me," he said with a wink.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Sounds good" Connor agreed, returning the wink. "How about you look for a pair of gloves you would like me to wear? I'll look for the pants and shoes."

[itsananomaly]

Cutter grinned at that, "I can definitely find you a pair of gloves," he smiled, blushing slightly, "I'll find you a really nice pair," he paused, "maybe a few pairs," he added and he went bright red at that.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Sounds good," Connor said with a grin. "However many you like."

The whole gloves thing had always just been a personal preference for the most part. But now that he knew Cutter liked them, there was a whole other aspect to it... and it was something Connor was definitely enjoying figuring out.

[itsananomaly]

Cutter smiled warmly at that, "so you don't mind if I pick out ten gloves for you to wear then?" he asked playfully as he looked over at the gloves section and realised that meant he would have to leave Connor for a bit, which he was reluctant to do but then the gloves weren't going to choose themselves, "I'll be right back," he promised and then after a small pause, he leaned in to give Connor a very quick kiss on the cheek.

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Easy there tiger," he said with a grin. "Let's start with a few and g ok from there alright?"

Connor smiled at the kiss.

"I'll have everything else by the time you get back."
