To say the least.

[that is such a funny regain trigger - and mikazuki smiles, but it's not without the slightest edge of worry at the corner of his eye. he thinks that there are more and more pieces coming together but... why? how?

and when it is over, what picture will it paint?

he nonetheless takes tsurumaru's hand in his own, bringing it up closer to him so that he can brush his lips against the other's knuckles in a gesture that is neatly affectionate and lingering]

... may these hands remain unburdened by that weight for a bit longer, perhaps.

[preowned]

[ ...

it's probably too affectionate, perhaps, and he wonders briefly if they maybe cross a line a few times. and yet, tsuru does absolutely nothing about it, and instead just leans in a little closer. ]

I can feel them become lighter already.

[ the workers wander back out from the back. ]

[unsaid]

[it's a funny thing - to be nearly crossing this line so many times today, and yet to not feel that it is something odd or incorrect. rather, when the workers come back, mikazuki doesn't jolt away like he was caught doing something wrong -

instead he just straightens, squeezes tsurumaru's hand once, and then lets go before he turns back]

Are the garments ready?

[we'll say that few adjustments needed to be made! but they'll hand mikazuki one garment bag and tsurumaru another]

Ha ha ha, thank you.

[time to change and leave behind gay tension]

[preowned]

[ off they go, like nothing ever happened. except a lot of things just happened in a very short amount of time, but sometimes you just breeze through life without outwardly seeming to worried about it.

tsurumaru takes a quick moment just to double check that the car is still parked where he left it after they leave the store. ]

Where to?

[ he is pretending nothing weird just happened in there in general. what's a regain. ]

[unsaid]

[off they go! also it's important to me that i mention that mikazuki is specifically wearing this ensemble because it took me ages to find even one fashion jiji look that i agreed with.

but time to wander into the rest of the promenade even as mikazuki adjusts his cuffs, then inclining his chin to indicate that they're meant to walk further down]

There should be a few more fashionable stores for the youth this way. Once we hit the... ah... frofro store, we have gone too far.

[you are now also the youth? also he means froyo]

[preowned]

[ i'm in tears..... fashionista

tsurumaru tilts his head. ]

Is that a dog groomers?

[ frofro makes him

think about poodles ]

[unsaid]

[sometimes when you're an old man your only saving grace is that you are very beautiful]

Hmm... No, I believe it is somewhere we can get a snack?

[he doesn't know what froyo is either but it's fine. mikazuki will amble down the street, stopping by random mannequins dressed like this i don't even understand techwear i don't think grandpas will]

Is this what is currently in fashion now?

[preowned]

I... suppose so.

[ tsuru tends to go for lighter colors, so he just tilts his head as he looks it over and then go to walk into the store. ]

Mikazuki, let's go become stylish.

[ them walking in while wearing suits is funny ]

[unsaid]

[yea they're gonna go through multiple fashion trends today]

Very well, very well.

[do you think anya and karkat are in this store]

[preowned]

[ they are i just decided this

but tsurmaru will walk in first now, and will walk up to the first giant jacket that he lays his eyes on. he points to it. ]

Fashion!

[unsaid]

Fashion!

[he repeats before wandering over to the rack that houses the giant jackets? he'll peruse through them before finding one that's a lighter gray. compromises. and then he'll hold up between his fingers]

Shall we trade roles a moment?

[anya is also somewhere, wearing a giant jacket so that they can take pics and put it on instagram. karkat needs a matching one]

[preowned]

[ karkat is probably in the middle of a rant at the moment

but tsuru laughs at that, and then starts to shrug off his suit jacket. ]

Of course. We need to change things up.

[unsaid]

[is it about black is king

but mikazuki will collect tsuru's suit jacket, draping it neatly over his arm before helping fit the giant jackets over tsuru's shoulders]

So we do, so we do.

[and then he'll take a step back and begin to quietly applaud]

Wow! Fashion.

[if they repeat it enough times they'll know what it means]

[preowned]

[ karkat and anya saw beyonce together

tsuru even does a neat little spin, bowing as he comes to a stop. a few other shoppers probably stop to look at them because they're beautiful. ]

It's comfortable... and large.

[ he looks so amused by fashion ]

[unsaid]

[they did yea. she's doing a tour stop in recolle.

but they are admittedly so very beautiful, and mikazuki just laughs quietly to himself. people are wondering if they're models? someone wants to ask for their instagram handles]

Think of what you could hide inside.

[no!]

[preowned]

[ imagine their confusion over what an instagram is

but tsuru leans in so he can whisper conspiratorially in mikazuki's ear. ]

You wouldn't even know where to look to find something.

[ tsuru who is frisking you for this to be a concern ]

[unsaid]

[mikazuki's smile just grows at that before he inclines his head toward tsurumaru in return to whisper back]

My, modern fashion truly does inspire you to be a terror. Shall we buy it?

[he doesn't sound upset about the chaos incoming tho

to onlookers this probably seems like pretty people flirting but they're just being awful old men]

[preowned]

I think it'll do.

[ he moves away just enough so that he can glance around the store. something for jiji... ]

And you? We need to give you... fashion.

[unsaid]

Then I will prepare myself to receive... fashion.

[he's going to be left at tsuru's whims

but also catch the eye of someone who was staring at them and just smile politely back. they hurriedly look away in a fluster.]

[preowned]

[ he's going to take his time looking around and when he sees something he likes he just

hurries to it so fast




and returns with this ]

[unsaid]

[this is

so terrible.

it's genuinely so fucking terrible and yet mikazuki just thinks this is general fashion? so he just tilts his head to the side thoughtfully before laughing]

I do not know how well it will keep me warm?

[but he supposes he'll deal with it anyway. he will move to shrug off his coat as well but slowly, like he's obviously waiting for tsuru's assist]

[preowned]

[ tsuru is like, so genuinely delighted by this shirt. it's his favorite thing in the world.

but he will obediently go to help jiji get dressed in this thing, grinning the whole time. there's a pause where he seems to be... considering... ]

What are you supposed to wear under it?

[unsaid]

.... clothes?

[but he sounds more

hopeful than anything?]

[preowned]

[ ... hm.

he doesn't reply. he just puts it over his shirt and looks him over.

hm. ]

[unsaid]

[hm.

mikazuki regardless walks forward a few steps, turns neatly on his heel, walks back. there are probably dressing rooms but they are doing this on the shop floor. people are still watching them.

even though mikazuki looks amused]

If you would like me to show more, I am afraid we will need to go behind closed doors, my dear.

[stop]
