Shopping?

"And that concludes the tour. I see you have already met Chuuya, and we ran into my sister Gin along the way."

"Thank you, Akutagawa-san. What time should we go out to eat?"

He stops and thinks for a moment.

"Um, how about around 3:00?"

"Alright."

You head back to your room. You wander around trying to find something to do. You are still curious about the type of man Akutagawa-san is. You decide to talk to Gin, wondering more and more about him.

As you are getting ready, you stop and think for a moment about what to wear. Although you are going out to eat, it's in a local mall. "Who knows? We might go shopping too." You think to yourself. You two aren't close, but he showed some interest. It would be rude to be sloppy.

You check your phone for the time.

"WH-WHAT. I'm LATE!" - It's 3:02.

You quickly get on your phone to call Akutagawa-san, but you realize that you don't even have his number. You spread out your wings and dash to the mall. You land a few feet away from the mall to avoid any suspicions. You casually walk towards the door. As you are headed towards the food court, you see Akutagawa-san getting ready to leave.

"Akutagawa-san! I'm over here!" You yell while jogging towards him.

"Oh, Y/N. You're late."

" I know, I know. I apologize, I wasn't keeping track of the time."

Hoping he wasn't that upset, you offer to pay for the food and ask if he wants to shop for anything while you two are there.

"Alright. Well, what do you want to eat?" He asks you in a slightly-stern tone.

"Sheesh, he's kind of cold.." You think to yourself.

"Um.. I'll just get whatever is on the menu. Do you have anything in mind?"

You hope he doesn't ask for anything expensive, as you are more on the middle-class to lower-class side. You are paying after all.

After eating, he accepts your offer to go shopping. You want to insist on going to your favorite store, as you want to show him some stylish outfits. But you know that he wouldn't be interested. So you wait and follow him to wherever he would like to go. He walks towards a specific store. As you get closer to it you realize it's your favorite place.

"Now that I think about it, he is wearing an all-black outfit in a similar style to yours." You question to yourself. Wondering whether or not he's serious.

"I like this place. They have suitable clothing for both men and women. Is this place fit for you?" He asks as he stands outside the entrance.

"Yes...This is actually my favorite place to shop at-" You say it in a quiet tone, but just loud enough for him to hear. You don't want to start gushing about how excited you are.

You two walk into the store. A black, shimmering dress catches your eye. You quickly hop over to the section and check the price tag. It's a little on the pricy side, but you can afford it. Usually, you don't wear dresses or anything that may attract lots of attention. But this one really caught your eyes. You notice that Akutagawa-san is looking at some coats, you want to try on the dress and ask for his input, but you're a little nervous.

You change your mind and decide to just buy the dress without showing him. But you do indeed want to leave in a different outfit. You enjoy doing it as it makes you feel newly-born.  You go with a long (S/C) skirt reaching the bottom of your ankles. You layer it with a oversized t-shirt, a jacket, and some arm warmers. You buy the outfit, put it on, and proceed to find Akutagawa-san waiting for you. He is in the same outfit he came with, but with a more collected look on his face.

"Ready to go?" You ask him.

"Yeah sure."

You both head back...
