werites | no looky for real this time

[ STOP NO. THIS IS BONDING

ryo glances down at their joint hands then looks back up. winning today... but the question does make her pause to think, as akira is right in the sense that it is way easier for ryo to make a list of things she hates. sometimes you are full of so much hate. ]

I would prefer solid colors, since loud patterns are annoying. I don't care how much it covers. [ ryo is fine with being just naked, so, ] The easier to put it on and take it off, the better. I don't want to spend twenty minutes tying something.

[Wow. This is so much better. He is just gonna ask Ryo what he hates from now on with everything.

So… no loud patterns. Easy to put on and take off. This tracks.]

Okay, that gives us enough to work with. Let’s see what we can find.

[He laces their fingers together and glances around once they start getting to the stores. Ryo is the opposite of the twins probably. They liked layers, but it’ll take too much time to put on and take off, so no to ton of layers outside of the basics.

He also has to think about Ryo’s fluidity… Hm.

He pulls Ryo into one of the stores. It’s higher end, but more street fashiony. They maybe can easily get stuff between the two of them here.]

[ ryo spends ten years thinking about likes but pulls out a mile long hate list yea

but into the store they go... this does look like something akira would wear. ryo glances around at the others at the store, before looking at akira. ]

Okay. What are we looking at.

[ ryo would normally just grab whatever is white and leave. so. ]

[God.

Akira is looking around at everything while still holding Ryo's hand.] Clothes. [He offers Ryo a teasing, playful smirk over his shoulder.

He tugs Ryo through the racks, pausing to pick some things out.] You can try this on while I grab some things for me. [I looked for so long for a pinterest outfit, but nothing matched what I wanted.

He gives Ryo one of those lacy bralettes (ignore his blush) in bright blue, a thin and soft white cardigan, and a flowy white skirt like this. Angelic... Cute...

This is going to backfire on him.]

[ i see.... it will.

ryo will take all of these, considers them, and then will just turn to go to a dressing room. akira will have some time on his own to look at clothes while ryo puts this on.

eventually, ryo will exit the dressing room wearing the outfit and she will just wander around looking for akira. ]

Akira...

[He is still browsing around since he didn't want to be in a dressing room when Ryo came out looking for him. But his arms are full of pieces of simple clothes and a pair of shoes.

When he turns to Ryo, he startles, visibly shocked by what he sees. UM, WOW? Why does he have such a cute fucking angelic horror partner with a terrible personality?!]

Ryo......

[He has to shake his head to focus!!] I got you these, too. [He picks up the shoes off the clothes which look like these in white. He kneels down in front of Ryo to hold the first one out, holding the clothes in his lap.]

[ it's ok to be a terrible person as long as you are really cute!!

but shoesies... ryo will slip out of her current shoes, to step into the ones that akira found. wowie. after checking to make sure these are actually like, walkable, ryo will also kneel down to be at level with akira. ]

What do you think?

[He does help Ryo put on and hook the shoes, and then he lets Ryo wander back and forth to test them out while he watches. Ryo is so cute........... He's so glad Harrow and Gideon can NOT see this because Ryo only has two hands and one of them at least has to be holding his.

Ryo is also taller than him now too which is way more attractive than it rightfully should be. His face gets a smidgen red again when Ryo kneels down.

He opens his mouth. Shuts his mouth. Opens it again. Stays there like that with not a single braincell in his eyes as he tries to think of something intelligent to say.]

Good. Um. It's good. No. Cute. Beautiful. You're... beautiful, Ryo...

[He's so good at this!! He takes Ryo's hand so he can stand them back up. So they can see the outfit more.]

Is it comfortable?

It's fine.

[ a leggy gets lifted up, like to show that it's nice and comfy. ryo lowers the leg, pauses, and then leans in to give akira a kiss. once you have permission to kiss as much as you want it is difficult to stop, actually.

ryo does not have a praise kink but also being called beautiful by the person you love is always a good feeling. ]

Go and try on your stuff.

[ THAT WAS THE REASON THEY CAME!!!! instead now ryo is a princess ]

[Leggy. He inwardly grits his teeth having to look at it in a cute skirt. HE SCREWED HIMSELF OVER, FUCK. Oh, kiss. He's placated... Hmf.]

I'm going, I'm going.

[Ryo is a princess now. That's what she gets for turning into a girl.

He takes the clothes in his arms to the dressing room so he can try them on. He has a few assortments, but comes back out looking predictable. A black sweater, black jeans, a pair of boots. BUT!!! The shirt he has on under the sweater is a blue that kind of matches Ryo's... Matchie.]

Well?

[ okay yeah this is more or less what ryo expected... although the blue is new. she glances down at her own top before looking back at akira. matchies... ]

You look... [ what was the word akira had used? ] sexy.

[ nailed it

but unfortunately ryo does like it but that's also the possessiveness coming out. if they match it's obvious they're together!! ]

I guess you are good at this.

[Ryo loving this matchies for the absolute wrong kind of reasons, but Akira is kind of none-the-wiser. Or, like, he just doesn't want to acknowledge it. It's fine.

He sure has blushed so damn much today because of Ryo, but he does again when Ryo calls him sexy. He tries to pretend to be not shy about it? He's pretending really hard.]

I've had practice... [Nevermind, he's shy.] I got some other things, too. For, uh... when you're... uh. [(francy voice) GESTURES] A boy. Or... your other form.

And some for me we can share.

[ hehe

listen this is nice because akira has a lot more experience now with relationships than ryo does, so being able to still catch him off guard with things is a big win. akira being confident and in charge is hot but ryo is still someone with a lot of pride, so she doesn't want to feel Too Behind. ]

Mm, that works.

[ normally someone would ask to see the clothes someone else picked for them but ryo is just like ok! ]

We can get bags and go somewhere else next.

[Noooo.]

Okay. Hold on.

[He is going to go back to gather the collection of clothes up, including the clothes they came here in. He carries them over to divvy them up into bags, enough they can carry without it being too many.

Well, not they. He is going to be carrying them.

Then he returns to Ryo's side. This won't bother Ryo in the slightest, but he cannot stop looking at Ryo, help. She is just really cute, okay... Boy Ryo is cute, but he sees boy Ryo often. Girl Ryo though...

He offers Ryo his elbow.]

[ it does not bother ryo at all, no. honestly ryo is mainly just used to the boy form at this point so it just makes sense to default to it. but also, this feels like a secret weapon now so ryo wouldn't want akira to get used to the girl one. this has so much power.

but she will take hold of the offered elbow. this really feels so much like a date, wow

wait actually ]

Is this a date?

[ ryo was the one who dragged them out of the house but this trip like

has a lot more romcom vibes than a grocery store run now ]

[??????????

He opens his mouth, but then falters. IS THIS A DATE? It isn't that he doesn't want it to be a date, but he also hadn't wanted to assume. He... hadn't thought about it. He was simply spending time with Ryo out and about. He starts walking so he doesn't have to stand there looking stupid like a fish.]

If... you want it to be? [It can be a date.] If it's a date, we'll have to get some food, too.

[Which would have happened anyway probably while they were out. Wow. This is a date.]

You do look cute enough to be on a date.

You're the one who dressed me.

[ akira is calling his own work cute, wow.... but ryo will squeeze akira's arm. ]

But I've never been on one before. [ RYO IS PURPOSELY ERASING THE ONE WITH ITTO ] It does seem... dately, though. If you want it to be.

[ ryo thinks it seems dately because SHE WENT ON A DATE WITH ITTO SO SHE IS AWARE she is still erasing it ]

I had a good-looking model to work with.

[Hehe.

DON'T JUST ERASE ITTO. This is hilarious though, considering he was actually a little jealous of Itto, but refused to bring it up ever. It felt unfair? It would have been great for Ryo, but not for him. It's fine. Itto can be erased.

He does not mention any dates with Itto.]

It's a date then.

[ the way that ryo had been so annoyed that akira didn't seem jealous help me

but since this is information she does not have, ryo will just be pleased that they are on a date. SO PLEASED BY THE SIMPLEST THINGS WITH LOVE... ]

Do you want to get something to eat now then, or go to another store?

[ akira didn't have breakfast when he woke up at 3pm ]

[HELP. THEY REALLY FAILED BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH EACH OTHER!!!! Maybe one day, Itto will somehow get brought up, and Akira will say he had been a smidgen jealous...

On cue, his stomach gurgles loudly, and he seems mildly embarrassed by it.]

...I guess I am kind of hungry.

[He didn't have any 3PM breakfast.]

[ they talk about ryo's adventures in teyvat and ryo will be like "i was so brave by not murdering itto"

but ah. she is very clearly amused by this, and will pull out her phone to look... ]

Do you want anything specific or should we just pick somewhere nearby?

[ ryo is like more meat??? ]

[He glances around them. Yeah. More meat.]

As long as it has a little meat, I don’t mind if it’s nearby.

[Predictable.

He leans to try to see Ryo’s phone.]

Any place good? Somewhere you can have something too if you want.

[ hmmm... there are a lot of cutesy places but none of them seem very MEAT ]

... ah. Hot pot, let's go this way.

[ that is a lot of meat.

ryo will tug on akira's arm to start walking in a direction. he is carrying so many bags while ryo just stands looking cute, i hate this ]

We'll need to get dessert too. If it's a date.

[They will make hot pot cutesy by being there.

He follows after Ryo, all these bags in tow. It's fine. Ryo is beautiful and should just be standing there looking cute. It keeps... Ryo from being a biblical horror? It's good.]

We can get dessert. What do you want...? [Hmmm.] Vanilla ice cream?

[Look. He just

remembers it from last time. Sharing the ice cream. He'll sacrifice his intestinal system for Ryo's vanilla ice cream taste buds.]

[ akira sacrificing his stomach is so romantic but also ryo doesn't want to have to cut their trip short for the bathroom ]

... we can do cake or something. Maybe... crepes?

[ that's desserty, right?

but ryo finally had akira's full attention so she doesn't want to accidentally cuck the date somehow ]
