"My Finnish Samurai" - Eve x Male Reader

Chapter Two - "The Day Together, and With Others"

The Next Morning, at the Shopping Mall

Eve's POV

Yesterday was a busy day, what with that audition I had, and also meeting (Y/N) for the first time.
I woke up early so I could be the first in line to buy a really cute shirt I found the other day.

I went to the shop and saw someone there already, looking at the same shirt I wanted to buy.

Who is it? From this distance, I can't tell...

Walking closer, I noticed that it was (Y/N).

But that shirt is for women. I wonder why he's looking at it? He noticed me and turned to look at me.

"Hey, Eve-san. What brings you here so early in the morning?"

"I should ask you the same," I replied. "This clothes shop is all for girls!"

"Haha," he laughed. "I know. This is a cute little shirt. I'm looking to buy something for someone."

Someone? Who could it be? Should I ask?

"Um, for someone?" I asked him.

"Yeah, for my girlfriend," he told me. "A girl whom I love very much."

My heart sank.
"G-Girlfriend, huh? How wonderful that is..."

"Just kidding, I don't have a girlfriend. I'm lonelier than a samurai in the modern ages. My acting career doesn't allow enough time for me to be in a relationship."

Urgh, he almost got me there. He isn't actually lonely though, right? I mean, he's Tokugawa. Most girls at Hanasakigawa and Haneoka would swoon at the mere mention of his name.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat. "Did you like this shirt?"

"I came here specifically to buy it," I told him. "It's got such a nice floral pattern to it. I couldn't pass it up."

"It's beautiful..You're not going to wear it though, right?" I asked, putting on a confused expression.
"No, of course not. I might actually get it for a lady friend of mine at the studio, but..." He trailed off.

"But...?" I inquired, pushing him to finish the sentence.

"I kinda want to see how it looks on someone first," he told me.

What? Who could he be talking about?

(Y/N) laughed. "Why do you look so puzzled? I'm talking about you!"

"Oh, me?! I couldn't wear something like that. It wouldn't suit me." I replied, shaking my hands.

"But I thought you said you wanted it," he pressed on.

He's right. I did want it, and usually I'm not this shy, but if he wants me to, okay.

"Hmm, fine," I gave in. "I'll wear it, and you tell me what you think."

I entered the fitting rooms and began to change real quick.
However, in the middle, I ran into a huge problem. I couldn't zip up the back of the dress!
Oh boy... what was I going to do? Without thinking twice, I went for the only option.

(Y/N)'s POV

Eve is taking a while, is she OK...?

"U-uhm, (Y/N)-san?" Eve called out from the fitting room.

"Yes? Something wrong?" I asked.

"Could you come in for a while?"
She asked.

Without thinking about what I would see inside, I walked inside. I immediately regretted my choice, as the sight before turned me into a tomato.
