"HM. WHAT should I wear? This one? Or this one?"
Akari had been staring at her own reflection in front of her full-length mirror for over an hour while picking up one dress after another. She had trouble choosing what clothes to wear since today was the 30th of August.
It was Izana's birthday.
She had to somehow look presentable to him on this particular occasion. If only Emma was here, it would've been a lot easier because her blonde friend knew what dress would look best on her.
It took her another 30 minutes before she finally decided on her outfit. It was a simple floral-designed light green midi dress that highlighted her fair complexion with her long ebony hair slipped over her shoulders. A few locks of her hair were fastened with her favorite crown hair clip. She wore no makeup whatsoever on her face as she preferred to look natural, only a strawberry-flavored lip gloss was applied to her lips to add a subtle color.
She then twirled her body around, her skirt following her every move, and was extremely pleased with the outcome. "Much better," she proudly told herself with a small nod. She also didn't want to look extravagant. There was a saying 'simplicity is the real beauty'.
A doorbell was heard.
Akari checked out the time on her wristwatch. "Just in time!" She was gleaming with excitement as she grabbed her white leather shoulder bag and rushed out of her room, making her way toward the foyer.
Once she opened the front door, Akari aggressively lunged herself at the tanned male, who was standing on the doorstep, giving him a bone-crashing hug. "Izana! Happy birthday!"
Izana was caught off guard at her sudden attack and staggered back, almost losing his balance. "Dammit, Akari! Stop surprising me like that, dumbass!" he hissed. He was in his casual clothing of a black long sleeve off-shoulder top with a white sando shirt underneath, white pants, and sandals. His signature pair of hanafuda earrings were as fetching as ever. "You're always doing that!"
