shattered pieces of a Red emblem Engineer x Reader

New outfit.

It has been a couple of days now since we first met Dell. My parents both agreed to have him as long as needed. that meant that we would give him the time to either gather the money to travel back to America, or until he found a job and a house to settle in. not only was he grateful for all of this, but to show his gratitude he offered to help us out with chores or things that had to be fixed around the house. which my parents appreciated. Despite the time he spends in our home he would still be very formal in his manner of speaking. he kept calling me Miss or young lady even though I gave him permission to call me by my name or hell even nickname if he preferred. slowly but steady, as we hang out more and got to know each other better, he would seem to relax more around me. After a week, he asked me a burning question about why I was so insistent for him to stay with us. that's when I decided it was about time to tell him the truth. The truth about his game and me being a fan of his. at first, he thought I was joking but as I pulled my merchandise and the orange box out, he had to believe me. of course, he was shocked but not in a way I would expect him to be. he calmly asked questions and I happily answered them. this finally made him understand my need to help him.

I walked over towards the couch where the engineer was sleeping soundly. I gently shook his shoulder.

(Y/n): Wake up sleepy head, dinner is ready.

Dell: w - what?

He rubbed his eyes as he got up. He yawned.

(Y/n): Dinner is served.

He followed me along to the kitchen. We took place at the table. we all had a friendly chat like always, but after a while, my mind drifted off.

"Maybe dell is in need for some new clothes. the only thing wears is his own clothes and one pair of old clothes my father could lend him. but they both need to be washed. perhaps we can look for some clothes today."

(Y/n): Dell? can you go with me to the city we need to get some groceries

Dell: Sure, Can you drive?

(Y/n): yeah. I got a license.

Time skip brought you by your mom's meal ;)

After dinner, we washed the dishes and headed towards the car. I got behind the wheel, dell sat beside me. he put the radio on and I drove off. Engie was softly humming along to the song hey brother from Avicii.

as soon as we arrived, we parked the car and went on our merry way. first, we went to the grocery store. however, as soon as we left the building I walked in a different direction.

Dell: Were are you going, young lady? we parked the car over there.

(y/n): I am well aware of that.

Dell: then where are you heading off to?

(Y/n): That shop at the end of the street.

Dell: A clothing store?

He raised an eyebrow but he didn't ask any questions as we entered the building. I didn't even take a glance at the lady section as I immediately made my way to the men's section. the first thing I laid eyes on, was a red and black shirt that has a square pattern on it. I bet this will suit him. I look at the size before I take one and hold it up.

(Y/n): What do you think of this one?

Dell: you do realize this is for men, right?

(Y/n): I meant for you silly

Dell: M-Me?!

(Y/n): Yeah, you need new clothes.

You have been wearing these quite some time now and you don't have anything else to wear. so yes you need some new clothes.

Dell: I don't want you to pay for me.

(Y/n): Stop worrying so much. It's alright. I can afford it.

So can I have your opinion now?

Dell: Yes I do like it

I handed it to him.

(Y/n): Pick some other stuff you like, I will be looking around for a bit

Dell: O-ok

he shyly replied. I walked around the store. some hats caught my attention. each had a different style and color,

But there was one that stood out from the rest.

It was a white cowboy hat. as simple as it was I just couldn't help but be reminded of the Texas Ten Gallon cosmetic you could by from the Mann co store in the game. I took it off the rack. I have to buy this for him. It's better to buy hats in real life then spend 10 (your currency ) on a fictional hat anyway. I looked around some more but didn't find anything else of interest and walked towards the checkout where I wanted patiently for Dell's return.

He, on the other hand, was still looking around. he had a few clothing items in hand. I only could take a glimpse of the items he was carrying before he disappeared into the fitting rooms. when he did finally join me at the checkout, he saw me holding onto a bag.

(Y/n): hey Dell, you found some things I see.

he nods.

All he had gathered were two shirts. one red the other white, they both had a little print on them .the Shirt I chose

And two pair of jeans, one brown the other blue.

cashier: Is that all?

(y/n): Yes it is.

That will be 95 (with whatever currency you pay with) please.

I handed her the money. she packed the clothes in a bag for us.

cashier: Come again and have a nice day

(Y/n): Thank you very much.

we left the store only to walk in a shoe store.

dell: really?!

(Y/n): what? you only have one pair

dell: you know what, that's it. I can't have you paying all of this for me. I will apply to twice as many jibs as I have before now and make sure to pay you back ones I get hired somewhere.

(Y/n): ok whatever you say, I only hope you learn to master

(your language) fast.

(again this only is for if you don't speak English)

dell: that would be no problem at all.

(Y/n): how about these!

I suddenly shouted in excitement. I pointed to a rack with a few cool cowboy boots. I blushed when I realized what I just had done. Dell chuckles at that.I quickly lowered my hand.

dell: you know me better than I expected.

(Y/n): That's what happens when you're a fan,

Anyways do you mind if I look over there for a sec?

dell: go ahead I will be right here if you need me.

This time it was some belts. all of them are made of leather and have a mettel buckle up front with some sort of symbol. some had the American flag on them while others had a horseshoe or a skull. I took the one with (make your choice.)This would go perfectly with the hat. I just find it odd that there are so many cowboy themed items for sale in these stores. perhaps I just never noticed them.i made my way over to the Tiny Texan man.

(Y/n): they're nice on you

Dell: thanks. I will definitely take these boots, they are very comfortable. Did you find a pair?

(Y/n): nope I wasn't looking for shoes. but I found this belt.

Dell: wow you don't see many belts with that particular logo anymore these days. Its almost one of a kind

(Y/n): then I will give this beauty a rightful owner.

He got up with the boxes in his hands.

(Y/n): come on, after we have played for these. we can go home.
