You're A Doll, You Are Flawless. || Dazai x Chuuya [Soukoku] || Inspired by C.ai

Chapter 8

From the moment Dazai and Chuuya had set foot in the empty mall, Dazai had dragged Chuuya to so many designer stores but despite Chuuya goggling his eyes at all the clothes he seemed to love or liked to pick out for the party tomorrow, Dazai denied them all as he claimed that they didn't fit what Dazai was going for. The condition of this shopping trip was that Dazai would be the one to dress Chuuya up whilst Chuya was the one receiving new clothes.

"I-I understand that my outfit has to be a certain theme, but is it necessary to pick the most flashy and eye-catching items?" Chuuya said hesitantly after being guided towards stores by Dazai once again. Chuuya had not a single clue as to what kind of outfit Dazai had in mind but Chuuya would just trust Dazai's choices for the party and go with it. He was confident that Dazai would never set out to embarrass Chuuya or set Chuuya up for failure.

"Well I personally don't see what's wrong with this colour. Red seems to suit you. And so does black and navy blue." Dazai says flippantly as he picks up a glossy red vinyl bomber jacket from where it was hung on the rails of the store.

"I guess so." Chuuya nodded in response, watching Dazai as he picked out the jacket, turning his attention towards the price tag. His eyes widened considerably upon seeing the price, it was around four figures. Chuuya felt like he was having an anxiety attack just thinking about the price and was wondering how much Dazai had planned to spend on him today just for this party and this was only one item from the store Chuuya shook his head and sighed.

"Here. Hold this." Dazai says as he hands said extremely expensive jacket over to Chuuya that cost a good $240 alone.

Chuuya held the jacket with hesitation, feeling the silky fabric underneath his fingertips. Chuuya was tempted to slip into the jacket to gauge how it might look on him, then again it was not something he could really imagine himself wearing. It would just draw too much attention. And that was just the jacket. What else did Dazai have in store for him? Chuuya felt nervous again. How much would all of this cost? Could Dazai really afford to do all this just for him?

"Ooh! Now you would look great in this one." Dazai grins as he gingerly reaches for another jacket that was similar but not glossy. The jacket was a red, black and white racer bomber jacket, a hybrid of the first except it had more colours. This jacket had letterings and designer patches embroidered all over it. This one cost about $215 instead of $240.

Chuuya gulped nervously as he stared at the price with wide eyes, wondering just how many more things are going to be this expensive in the store. Was Dazai planning to buy Chuuya an entire wardrobe or something? Chuuya remained uneasy as he held the jacket in his hands and glanced over at Dazai.

"U-Uh... I'm not so sure about this... it's really expensive, Dazai." Chuuya muttered nervously, his nerves and stress increasing by the shopping spree Dazai was having.

"Oh hush! I'm not asking about the price. I'm asking about how it looks. Do you like it or is it just not your taste? The price is my concern." Dazai rolls his eyes and says. So what if he was planning to buy Chuuya a plethora of outfits. Dazai was going to have fun playing dress up with Chuuya and putting Chuuya in all sorts of clothes. Plus it was not like Chuuya knew what type of outfits was best suited for a party like this since he could never really explore his fashion sense due to lack of money so his taste was simple.

Chuuya fell silent for a few seconds as he examined the jacket, the patches and everything, and then shook his head slowly. It wasn't that it was entirely bad, it was just that even though the jacket was pretty, he felt like he wouldn't suit it. He would stick out like a sore thumb and garner every single pair of prying eyes at the party.

"I- I think I'll pass. Sorry." Chuuya said, hoping that Dazai would understand and not make a big deal out of it.

"Well too bad!" Dazai says as he tosses the jacket at Chuuya to add to the addition of clothes before walking off to the pants section.
