Love is unexpected

~Winter shopping

Tomo-chan's POV

I was SOOO glad! Azumi-chan kept her promise and now we can go to the mall together. I almost fell out of my seat when Haruka told me she said yes. Azumi looked so quiet and lonely I had to do something. I hope Haruka and I can help her loosen up a bit. I think she only like that because she surround by men like Ranmaru, who is so mean, Camus, he's so cold, and worst of all Ai, he's both cold and mean. Well that's what I heard from Syo and Natsuki.

I savaged through my closet the night before to choose something to wear. I even planned everything for tomorrow out. 

I picked out a really cute outfit. It was a red tee and a simple black skirt. I planned one wearing these bangles and head band to match the shirt and skirt. It was perfect. I even planned on bringing a smaller purse so it would be easier to hold the bags if we buy too much stuff. 

I plan that we can spend 2-3 hours shopping, then stop at a fast food restaurant for lunch, then keep going to buy more if needed, then we can go to the movies. I heard theres a new romantic comedy out. I cant wait for tomorrow. I finally get to know Azumi more. I know that's a little weird, considering I only only her for like 2 months or so, but I really like her. For some reason it's like she called out to me in some way. Haha, just kidding. She just looked like a little lost kitty and i wanted to help her out

The next day I left early to meet them at the mall. We scheduled at 12 but I came around 10 minutes earlier so i just sat at the water fountain and waited. I looked around waiting to see if they had come. I impatiently looked at my phone again and again to see what time was it. I looked at my phone almost 5 times each minute. I felt so worked up. 

Then suddenly I saw them coming my way. It was Haruka and Azumi, but it wasn't just them. I looked at them as they came towards me. "Ai's coming too?" I said, with a clear dissatisfaction in my voice.

"I'm sorry, Ai said he didn't have any snow clothes, so I thought..." Azumi said with a quiet tone, scared that I was mad at her. I simply smied,"It's alright. The more the merrier, right?" Then I grabbed Haruka and Azumi around the arm and dragged them off. 

We went into out first store. It was pretty big, with all kinds of branded clothing. I took a quick look around and went straight to the winter clothing area. I were all kinds of clothing, like turtle neck, puffy sweaters, wind breakers, scarfs, boots, beanies, and gloves. 

I dragged Haruka off to the sweaters section and made her try some on. Then I remembered that Azumi, I looked around for her, and found her in the men's section with Ai, getting a wind breaker. Azumi chose out a few colors and styles and then had Ai hold on to it. It was like watching a couple pick out clothes. Haruka and I stood there watching. Then they moved on to a different set of clothes and did the same thing again. After they picked out a bunch of clothes they went to the men's fitting rooms. Azumi waited for Ai to come out with each item and them go back in. He tried everything then came back out with his normal clothes. Azumi picked out all the things that she didn't think was good and put them aside. leaving only a few things. 

Then I realized something that was really cute between the two. It was what they were wearing.

Ai was wearing a teal dress shirt and a white blazer. He was also wearing white skinny jeans. Azumi was wearing a teal blouse and white shorts. I nudged Haruka in the arm and she turned to me. 

"Looked at what they're wearing...," I whispered and Haruka looked at them. Then we both chuckled quietly. We both bought a few things from the store, but decided to not buy everything in the same place, so we get to go to more stores and buy more stuff. Azumi didn't buy anything from that store but it didn't look like any of thr female clothes there interested her. 

We went into another store and this time the 2 of them repeated the same process, only this time for Azumi. Ai looked around and picked ot some things and handed it to Azumi to hold. Then they went to the fitting room. and you get the idea. Azumi bought a few things thing and by then it was already 2 so we decided to go eat. 

When we got to a fastfood restaurant I suggested that we sit on the patio and get some sunlight and fresh air, but Ai objected.

"Why not?" I complained.

"Because," Ai said.

"Because what?" I argued. 

"Because of Azumi." He said as if it were so obvious that an idiot would know. 

"What's wrong with Azumi?"

"She can't stay in light too long, she'll get migraines." He explained. Haruka gasped,"That's why you objected every idea with going places with too much sun."

"Duh." He said. Not exactly to mock her, but the way he said it was so plain. 

I almost squealed, it was adorable how looks out for that little thing. I looked over at Azumi who was slightly blushing and smiling. We all sat at a corner of the restaurant. Then I felt a little happier from since Ai joined our party. 

Azumi was always in her own little world and i wanted to pull her out of it, thinking that she was always alone. But i was wrong. She had company in that world of hers. Ai was her company and I just thought it was adorable. 

"After, let's go watch a movie. I want to watch this romantic comedy." I said. Our group all agreed, even Ai did.
