Leo stood in front of the store, staring at it, and tried not to feel self conscious. Theoretically this wasn't even remotely a daunting sort of errand. He was just going to walk in, pick out a gift, pay for it, and walk out. He dealt with his sister every day, so it wasn't as if the cashier could throw anything new at him. He'd been to
law school. This was fine.
Except somehow, it wasn't. What if Oliver didn't like it? Personal gifts were tricky, and he wasn't used to buying them for people he hadn't already known for years on end. Sure, his family was hard to buy for, but at least he knew their rules. With Oliver, there was a real and present risk of making a mistake.
What if it was too
expensive? Some people didn't like that. Not generally people Leo was acquainted with, but they existed.
He knew he wasn't getting anywhere just standing there though, and he could see someone inside starting to frown at him. He had been ridiculous long enough. He could at least walk in.
Once he was inside, the person who had been staring at him--- an employee?--- subsided, and Leo was left to browse in peace. Well, relative peace, anyway. There was still the ever-looming threat of choosing the wrong thing. As it was, he very nearly decided to walk out without buying anything at all, but... something did catch his eye.
"Could I have this one?" he said, flagging down someone behind the counter. "And how much is it for gift wrapping?"
