How Green Becomes Wood

"I do not see why not," Dark shrugged, "They likely will only be seen when you cross your legs. And a pair of good dress shoes is good, your feet should be done growing by now, and you will surely end up attending more weddings or funerals in your future, so it saves you future stress. Now, you should change so we can buy the suits and then take them to be altered."
 
"Okay!" Alec agreed and happily went to change back into his normal attire.

Xander came out shortly before Alec, holding the carefully rehung and folded items in one hand while he tried to tame his fluffed out hair with the other.
 
"I hope that was not as awful as you feared it would be," Dark said calmly, leading them to the cashier after double checking they had left everything tidy, "Honestly, I am a bit jealous. The things I would give to be able to walk into a store and buy almost-perfect clothing off of the rack instead of either needing intense alterations or to commission it entirely. The money I would save."
 
"I am sure we will eventually." Dark said, "I know neither of you have expressed an interest in prom, but if not that, I am sure you will have another reason some time to need another one. I would be glad to take you back."

At the counter, the cashier, a small-statured older man smiled at them, "Mr. Dark, I am glad to see you found something suitable for your boys."

"I did, thank you. They are going to require some tailoring, though, like we spoke about?"

"Oh, of course, of course. If you like I could take those measurements today and I could get started," The man said, "Your suit is nearly finished, it should be ready for you on Monday."
 
"It was only your pants which were too long, correct?" Dark clarified, "He will only need your inseam length in order to hem them. Although I also think the sleeves could be slightly shortened as well, if Mr. Russo agrees he will also measure you from shoulder to wrist. Xander, because you said the waist was too tight, he will need to measure you at your waist to see what needs to be let out---do not worry, he can do it without touching you, he will tell you where and how to hold the measuring tape."
 
"That's right," Alec confirmed. "Shall I go first? I'd like to see how this is done." He stepped forward willingly.

"Alright, that's fine," Xander agreed. He let Alec go first, waiting his turn nervously. He believed Dark about the no touching thing, but it was still nervewraking to have hands so close to him.
