Hello!! Sorry for the long hiatus, I've been hella busy but here is an Acacia one shot for ya :}

_______________🥀•+•🥀_______________

We walk down the streets, passing window after window. All of the businesses best products on display in the rounded glass nooks. Some were books, some clothes, beauty products, quills and inks, and anything you'd might need.

I glance down at the small dancer, starting to pick up her pace as she spotted a dress store a few feet ahead. "Hold on Acacia, I'm in heels" I call out as she stopped at a display of vibrant colored dresses behind a window.

I catch up with her, looking at the dresses then shifting my vision to her reflection in the glass. Her eyes wide, darting from manikin to manikin.

"Come on lets go in" I nod my head towards the propped open door and start walking in, Acacia not far behind me.

I gravitate towards a deep navy set. Sets were as it sounded; a dress that was sold as a set, with a corset, top, bottom and any other layer that was on the dress.

I grab the set off the rack in front of me and brought it to the back of the small store. A young women behind the desk perked her head up, a dress laid on her lap. She took the needle balanced between her teeth and placed it on the table.

"Hello!" She greeted warmly, smiling up at me. She had seemingly been altering a dress before I had come up to her..

"Hello!" I reciprocated, then looked down at the clothes laid in my arm "Can I keep this up here while I continue shopping?" I inquired.

"Of course!" The women said placing the dress to the side, getting up and grabbing the dress from my hands.

I smile at her and trot over to Acacia who was feeling the fabric of a dress in her hands. "Find anything you like?" I chirped.

"I actually have!" She answered, standing to the side to show the dress she was admiring.

"It's beautiful" I awe, my eyebrows furrowed as I saw Acacia saddened

"What's wrong?" I question.. "It is beautiful, I'm not sure I deserve it. Should I really be wearing such an expensive dress?" She sorrowed

"Of course you deserve it, I'm buying this for you because you deserve it. You should feel special Acacia" I place my hands on her shoulders, grounding her.

Acacia averted her eyes down at the dress, a small smile grew on her face. "Thank you [y/n], what have you gotten?" She took the dress off the rack and brought it towards the desk.

I quickly followed her, I found her ogling at the navy dress laid on the table "This will look so pretty on you [y/n]!" She smiled, looking up at me.

"Thank you! Alright, is that it?" I asked the girl.
Acacia nodded and I pressed down on the golden bell placed on the table, ringing it.

The young girl from earlier hurried out from a back room and made her way to the back of the desk.

"Is this everything?" She asked in her 'customer service' voice. I nodded, smiling. She picked up the tag attached to the blue dress, writing down the number on it. She repeated that for the red dress. After some scribbling on her pad of paper, she detached her focus from the paper and onto us.

"These are going to be 73.40 pound sterling" She stated, folding the dresses and sliding them into a linen bag.

Acacia frowned, she obviously felt bad for making me pay so much, but I enjoyed it. Truly, I did. I liked making her feel special. I rummaged through my purse and pulled out the correct amount and gently put it on the table.

The young women grabbed the money and organized it into a drawer. I grabbed the bag, thanking the young women before leaving the store with Acacia by my side.

"Alright, where to next?" I ask Acacia who was already halfway down the street, making her way to another interesting looking store.
