My new Neighbor's an Idol!?

Sandy bar

Accidentally, for the first time in his life, Ishi found himself shopping with a girl alone. A lot of boys his age would be excited for a moment like this. It would be considered a major step in a potential relationship with said girl. To him he felt... Well, it did feel a bit awkward for him. The boy lamented himself for not being immune to teenage hormones.

"Judging from the prices, this should be enough." He handed Youna the money he promised.

"I'll t-try not to spend too much of it." She was grateful for his generosity. "And I promise to return the change."

"Even if you went over the budget, I still got some extra I don't mind giving you." It wasn't a big deal for him. It wasn't as if he was interested in any potential souvenirs. Though he didn't want to use up all his cash now. There was one place he could think of where this could be spent for himself. But that would be decided on later when he actually saw it.

"Thank you." She bowed her head, not maintaining any eye contact. "I'll just be looking for something over here..." The girl left him, which gave the boy the one thing he truly wanted. Some alone time. Unfortunately, it didn't last as an employee approached him.

"I see you're shopping with your girlfriend." They teased him. It didn't get Ishi flustered in any way since he already knew the truth.

"She's not my girlfriend." He explained to them that their were on a field trip and that she needed a swimming suit to join the others. "I had some extra money, so I'm just helping her out."

"I see, I see." The worker nudged him in the arm. "Nice move." Ishi sighed heavily. Even complete strangers didn't leave him alone. "She's real pretty, so maybe you can convince her to wear a super cute bikini."

"I think we should let her choose what she wants to wear." Obviously she wouldn't do that, or else they wouldn't be here in the first place. "Don't you have some customers to be helping right now?"

"Not really." They responded honestly. There weren't any other people in here other than a couple of other employees. Ishi and Youna were their only customers during this slow day.

"Then go check your stock or something." Ishi left the worker in search of Youna. At least he could live with her existing next to him. "Have you found anything yet?" He was getting impatient the longer they stayed here.

"W-well I did." She hid behind of the racks, embarrassed that he surprised her coming up like this. "But the problem is... They don't sell any one piece suits here." Apparently she did give one of the options a try, which is why he could see her behind this rack. Not without a lack of trying though.

"What did you pick out then?" He tried leaning his head around to see her, but that only led her to move and try to avoid his gaze. "Can you not waste my time and let me see?"

"Okay..." She gingerly allowed herself to be seen by him. Unfortunately for her, was a yellow two-piece. However, the one she chose had a skirt wrapped around her waist which covered up her thighs. The bra also had frills that also covered up her breast the best they could. Which was working thanks to her gingerly covering her chest with her arms. "I look ridiculous, don't I?"

"You look fine to me." He didn't any problem with it. "Now let's go pay for it so we can get to the beach."

"But the others..."

"I would say don't care about what they think." He informed her. "But I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind. For what it's worth, it covers you a lot more than the one your mom got you." Youna took one deep breath to calm her nerves. Ishi was right, and she didn't want to be such a burden.
