werites | no looky for real this time

[ 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 ]

[Hmmm. He gets a small grin at the suggestion.]

Okay. Crepes are good. Let's get some after dinner.

[This custardless and creamless crepes... No, he will probably be able to stand a little filling without ruining their date.

His arms are full of bag, but he still opens the door for her for hot pot. He is really out here being the sweetest thing to literal Satan.]

[ it's fine, sometimes you are forced to give up your dreams on annihilating an entire species so now you're not evil anymore. ok you're still kinda evil but it's now in a way that is actually manageable instead of being ready to snap at any second. ryo is like, oh wow the apocalypse does suck let's not do that again!!

anyway ryo is just going to walk to the host stand and just demand a table because she's rude. thankfully she is hot so the host does not mind......he just immediately leads them to a table..... actually he is very clearly trying to flirt

ryo is just 😑 because i cannot emphasize how little she cares if it's not akira ]

[Domesticating Satan with love…

The rudeness makes Akira like O_O at first because even though the twins were rude, it was all high society and not Satan, so it wasn’t this kind of rude necessarily straight away.

But then the fucker tries flirting with Ryo, and all of this sympathy flies out the window. Fuck this guy. He spends their walk to the booth like 😒, watching this guy from under his lowered brows.

When they get there, he puts the bags in one side of the booth, and then he sits with Ryo pointedly on the other side. He puts her in first too, so he is sitting on the outside and blocking her in.

Also, he gives her a kiss. 😒]

[ help

ryo is like, momentarily confused by the bag placement but catches on... after the kiss she just buries her head into akira's shoulder because this is very funny. it's at least enough to get the host to scurry off quickly but not before shooting akira a quick dirty look.

after a moment, ryo lifts her head to peer at akira. ]

Hey.

[He is out here still glaring daggers after the host, unbothered by the dirty look because he gives it back in spades.

Ryo is what gets him to shift his attention, and his expression softens. He peers back, then leans his head to nuzzle her.]

Hey.

[ this is so fucking funny and it shows ryo's willpower to keep her expression neutral instead of laughing. unfortunately akira keeps doing things that makes ryo more heart eyes, but at least now that is less of a problem than it was when they were in hell together before.

it's fine. ]

Were you just mad?
