date manages to forget, somehow, that mizuki is in hitomi’s class. and that the students eat lunch in their classroom with their teacher. and how truly terrifying a large group of 12 and 13 year olds is. 

so he saunters into hitomi’s classroom with a touch too much confidence to bring her lunch. she’s alone, typing at something, so date knocks a few times on the doorway to get her attention, lingering for a moment to appreciate how beautiful she is peering over her shoulder, caught off guard. 

“a little bird told me you forgot your lunch today,” he hums, holding up a small bag. iris saw it on her way out the door, and texted him immediately, complete with the little begging eyes emojis and everything. he knows it’s one of her many ploys to get them together, to help date sweep hitomi off her feet. and, well, he’s still nervous about it. but he won’t let an opportunity slip by him that easily. 

a few friends under their belt, it occurs to akira that maybe they don't have to lay as low anymore. well, legally still, but they're out in harajuku with ann, acting more as a bag stand than anything, but there's this flowing, sparkling top they can't stop looking at.

experimenting with fashion was out of the question back home. if his parents didn't kill him first, his fellow classmates certainly would.

it was restricted to stealing out of his mom's make up stash in the dead of night, just to see, just to test. to buying one or two things at the cosmetic store while the clerk said he must be such a good boyfriend for picking these things up. clothes, though, they're harder. a little too expensive to justify buying just because, knowing he'd have nowhere to wear them. and the looks he'd get for going and trying things on.

but ann? he thinks she'd understand.

only shaking a little, akira taps ann's shoulder. "hey, do you mind taking over bag watch for a second so i can... try a couple things on?" the boutique they're in is unmistakably filled with women's clothes. but they trust ann. they do.
