❰❰ Tsuki ❱❱

Tsuki flinched at the sigh. He knew he was being picky! But he had a good reason- one he still wasn’t sure if he could inform Takeru about. For starters, this place was probably the worst place to reveal his secret. And secondly, the thing itself might scare Takeru off. 

Sinking his face into his scarf a little, Tsuki sauntered over to the racks. 

Maybe he should just pick anything that isn’t black and call it a day? 

“Hmmm…”

But the temptation to pick black-.

Takeru hung back, deciding to give Tsuki a little space in hopes that’d help make this decision his own – even if it was probably a good thing Tsuki hadn’t looked back either. The dull, unimpressed expression Takeru was trying his best not to show wasn’t exactly well hidden as he’d watched on. 

image

Not that Takeru had ever really enjoyed clothes shopping anyway, but who knew picking something that wasn’t black that Tsuki felt like he’d enjoy would be such a chore.

Well? Do you see anything? Because the next step was Takeru stepping up to pick something out himself and he was already eying an orange hoodie that would’ve looked okay with Tsuki.

“Hmmm… I guess that’s true. I could still probably use one when Winter hits though…”

Tsuki grabbed his fringe thoughtfully. This would be much easier if he had actually told Takeru the cause of his fragility. Now he probably sounded incredibly picky and difficult.

“I don’t really want a short sleeve,” Because his scars were still visible despite being pretty faint, “And I’d prefer something that’s baggy… Do you think they’d have something like that here?”

Okay, so no short sleeves, and nothing too small wither. I guess we can still work with that-

Tsuki was being incredibly picky, but Takeru would’ve been lying to himself if he’d said he hadn’t expected it either. Tsuki’s taste in clothes was already pretty narrow as it was, but they were here to fix that– or at least, try to fix that anyway.

image

Even if they had to actually find something Tsuki would at least agree to try on first; as long as it wasn’t something black or white.

How about we go look at something over there then? Takeru motioned toward a small section near the back of the store with a light sigh. The racks had more black colored clothes scattered around than what he would’ve liked, but…maybe Takeru could trust Tsuki not be attracted to the dark colors right at first.

❰❰ Moonphaser ❱❱

“Sorry,” Moonphaser was quick to apologise, “Crescent can get a bit too excited.”

Not that he could really blame the A.I this time. After all, it had been a while since they last got their lead. Playmaker seemed like a reliable source of information to go to. 

After much struggling, Crescent would eventually give up, sinking back into the duel disk and appearing as his eyeball form. Looking not so pleased. But at least he was quiet!

“Uh, good question. The latter is probably best, since I don’t really have the time to hang in my tent anymore.”

Then sending you his contact info it is! Knowing him, he probably would’ve been too busy to stop by your tent anyway. I mean, unless you tricked him into showing up out of the blue somehow.” Soulburner would follow the retort up with an amused laugh before he lifted the arm with his duel disk attached and poked on the small screen.

I guess this way, you can just send him an email saying you wanna meet up or something-

image

Well, if Soulburner could remember how to get to the contacts list on his duel disk exactly, that was. Flame had showed him once before, but in everything he’d been through since, recalling which menus to flip through just to make it there seemed easier said than done – but at least Moonphaser would get to witness Soulburner aiming the most confused expression down at his wrist as he gave a puppy-like head tilt toward the device.

…?

❰❰ Tsuki ❱❱

Little did Takeru know, Tsuki was easily swayed because it was Takeru he was talking to!

Stepping into the shop, Tsuki would look almost lost. It’s not like he could pick out a lot of clothes and it wasn’t because he was picky! The clothing had to be long sleeved and it had to be puffy enough to cover up the space rock in his chest.

image

“Hmmmmmmmmmm…”

A long hum. Until eventually, he’d lay his eyes on some turtlenecks.

“Do you think I’d look good one of those?” 

Won’t something like that be kinda hot though…?

image

And for once, Takeru wasn’t talking about Tsuki looking cute in an outfit either – he really had meant that the turtleneck Tsuki had pointed out looked too warm and uncomfortable for this time of year. Takeru might’ve been a serial hoodie wearer, but at least he could always slip a hoodie off at a moment’s notice.

I guess some of those colors are okay though, he’d shrug at the assortment before waving off one side of the display completely. Just as long as you stay away from that rack.

❰❰ Tsuki ❱❱

“That sounds like a plan.”

It might be a hassle, but it meant more time with Takeru and Tsuki was never opposed to that. So grabbing a hold of Takeru’s arm in an affectionate manner, Tsuki pointed his finger skyward.

“Awwrighty, lead the way!”

Swooon~

So it’d been that easy, huh?

image

Takeru would have to remember that – just offer Tsuki a compromise and he could be pretty easy to sway, even if Takeru was pretty sure Tsuki wouldn’t have been so excited if he’d known Takeru wasn’t looking for style as much as much as he was just a color. 

Thankfully though, they’d only have to walk a few blocks up the street before another shop with a little more variety in clothing came into view.

Alright then, we’ll start here. Which was hopefully a silent clue for Tsuki to start looking. You have to pick out at least one thing somewhere, but it can’t be black or white. Think you can handle that?

❰❰ Tsuki ❱❱

Blink.

“I …don’t see what’s wrong with black and white… But I guess I should try on some colours.”

Takeru said pink looked good on him earlier, right? 

Tsuki gave his fringe a contemplative tug. It was a bit out of his comfort zone. He felt like wearing anything other than black or white would make him stand out. 

“I would’ve asked if you knew any other places but you’re not that familiar with Den City yet, are you?”

It was fairly big. Tsuki lived here all his life and still didn’t know all the places.

image

Nope! But if you trust me to not get you too lost, then we could always take a look around the places I do know.

Though, if Tsuki knew Takeru like he thought he did, then he’d know that’d mean the sections of the city closest to Takeru’s typical route to school. Still though, Den City was pretty big. Surely they could find a clothing shop to look around in somewhere near their school.

Even if they had to venture inside one of Den City’s ten thousand department stores.

What do you say? We spend thirty minutes looking around somewhere I pick and if we can’t find something, then we’ll come back here. Deal?

Tsuki blinked. Of course he picked up on the tone! But he didn’t see anything wrong with the monochrome aesthetic that this shop seemed to have. He’d step back though, and give a contemplative stare.

“Mm, well, do you have any better ideas?”

He didn’t mean to sound sassy, but Tsuki genuinely didn’t know where to start!

image

You mean besides trying to find something that’s not black or white?

Because that was honestly the one thing Takeru would’ve hoped Tsuki would try to avoid here. They’d been talking about buying him new looking outfits; not different versions of the same ones he had! No matter how good Tsuki looked with them-

You wanted something different, right? Maybe we could try looking somewhere that’s…not here first? Takeru paused to glance through the shop’s front entrance, I mean, this place sells more than just these. Don’t it?

❰❰ Tsuki ❱❱

“Sure! I think I saw some clothes shops down towards where all the unique cafes are that seem really empty all the time. I’m pretty sure they sell hoodies.”

They were shops he would give a passing glance to, but he never had a reason or even the guts to step in. It was probably time to change that though!

So following the path, Tsuki would promptly lead the way until they’d eventually arrive at a shabby looking shop with trendy clothes lined up outside. It was quite the interesting contrast, Tsuki had to admit. Most of the items there were monochrome.

image

It’d be a clothing store that’d leave Takeru blinking at the outside. The items that scattered the display windows and spilled out onto the sidewalk seemed like a perfect match for Tsuki, but…weren’t they supposed to be looking for something that wasn’t so black or white?

So, uh…this is really where you want to start?Tsuki could probably pick up from his tone that Takeru was definitely skeptical, so he’d quickly cover that with a small shrug.

Not that there’s anything against this place, but…you sure we’ll find anything different than what you’re already wearing in here?
