Sweater Shopping

Kiya isn't sure why the Manager assigned him to go shop at a mall, but he's not going to disobey orders.
With the holidays nearing, it's hard to get through with such a crowd.
Lucky for him, Heathcliff volunteered to keep him company. Or maybe it was to keep him in check, he's not sure.
Kiya Sinner #25
I don't need you to come with me on every single trip, you know.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Bah, you don't want me. I get it.
Kiya Sinner #25
NOT what I meant.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Relax, will ya? I'm just joshin.
The shorter sinner can't help but recoil at the little joke. After all, he understood it in a way no one else did.
But he shouldn't think that while they have a list to go through. Something about groceries, the usual...
Kiya Sinner #25
...Sweaters? They want us to get sweaters???
Kiya Sinner #25
Do they have to be ugly, or...
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Oh, I've heard of that tradition pretty sure. It's like...some kind of party trick?
Kiya Sinner #25
This is just going to make everyone miserable.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
So get us nice ones! I'll pick whatever's your fancy.
The two of them head off to the department store. Sweaters for the sinners sounded like a terrible idea, frankly.
He still wasn't going to disobey for the reason that Kiya is one to follow orders consistently.
That was probably why he was sent out here in the first place.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Hey, these ones are neat.
Kiya Sinner #25
..."I'm snow glad to see you"?
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Yeah. Ain't it funny?
Kiya Sinner #25
You can't be serious.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Oh, oh! What about this? It's a nice sea blue.
Kiya Sinner #25
Yeah, with bright red mixed into it. Like blood in the ocean.
Kiya Sinner #25
Let's just get whatever looks the least ugly. I can't be wearing these in public.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Dunno why you're so bothered. They're hilarious!
Kiya Sinner #25
And ugly. That's kind of the whole point.
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Well, you can say that...
Heathcliff Sinner #7
Buuuut at least we'll be ugly together, right?
As Kiya processes what Heathcliff meant, his eyebrows scrunch and he makes a face.
Only for Heathcliff to put a bright green sweater on his head.
Kiya Sinner #25
Wha—Hey!
Heathcliff Sinner #7
I'll wear one too, don't you worry.
Kiya Sinner #25
Take this off! You didn't even do it right!
Heathcliff laughs loud. Always a tease when he wants to be.
Sure, they and everyone else will be going around celebrating a tradition that no one really wants to do.
At least they'll look ugly together.
