[last post here]
Yeah getting my own room was one of the best days of life, besides today
Uhm, yeah I love anime, it's, uhm... Is it... Too much?
[they blush from embarrassment]
no! i mean, it is a lot. but you’re passionate! it’s always nice to see that.
should i step out while you change, or…?
Oh ok! Cool
Uhm no it's fine I'll just grab some clothes real quick and I'll go change in the bathroom and you can go ahead and change in here
any clothes i should avoid borrowing, then? or do you just wanna pick out an outfit for me?
No no you're allowed to wear whatever you want
you really don’t mind if i raid your closet? i promise i’ll return whatever i borrow as soon as i get it washed
Yeah, I trust you
cool.
[they start to pick out clothes from the closet, trying to find things that wouldn’t set off alarm bells at home. he picks up a colorful button down]
okay, might have to go back on my word about getting you your clothes back. this is sick, i’ll have to keep it
Uh-uh! Buy you're own cool colorful clothes
[he laughs]
i already do! unless, you don’t think my clothes are cool?
[they toss the shirt onto the bed and go to look for the rest of an outfit]
i just don’t have that shirt, and you made the mistake of letting me see it. so really, it’s your fault you’re never getting that shirt back
No, sorry, you're clothes are super cool!
oh, i know.
[they wink]
just messing with you.
[she looks over the outfit they laid out. it wasn’t too far from something he’d construct from his own closet]
what do you think?
Looks good!
[Richie goes to his closet and quickly grabs some clothes]
I'll, uh, get out of your way now
don’t take too long, i might find more clothes of yours to take!
Ha, you better not!
[Richie leaves and shuts the door behind him]
[mal quickly changes clothes. she walks to the mirror to see how they look. they’re oversized on him. he usually wore clothes that were a little too big. it felt right. most of the time. even more so now]
[a minute later Richie knocks on the door]
Is it okay to come in?
yeah!
don’t worry, i didn’t take any more of your shirts
[he opens the door]
Suree, how do I know you're not lying?
[he holds up his hands and chuckles]
you can search me if you’d like
Uh-uhm
[he blushes]
you don’t have to.
[she smiles, lowering her hands]
you do have to tell me how i look though. is it completely ridiculous?
No you look really good!
Although I guess it wouldn't makes sense to tell someone they look ridiculous in m-my clothes
fair point.
[they do a quick spin]
personally, i think i’m wearing this shirt better than you do. another point in the “mal should totally keep this shirt” column
[they fake gasp and puts a hand on his chest]
I don't look good in my shirt?
i think you look great in your shirt. i just think i look better. and i will continue to do so when this enters my wardrobe permanently.
[he smiles playfully]
‘course…i could be persuaded to let you maintain ownership if you gave me something better…
O-oh?
you did say you’d kiss me again…
[they shrug, walking over to the bed and sitting down]
but, y’know, if you changed your mind, we can always just head to pasqualli’s now
No no! I do want to kiss you again!
Uh, I mean, yeah it's cool whatever if you want to kiss we can, sure
oh, please, don’t be all cool for my sake.
[he chuckles]
you don’t know how to do that yet
Oh thank god
c’mere.
[they motion for richie to join them]
just for future reference, i enjoy the dork look on you much more than…whatever that was
[they sit next down next to her]
That's good because I'm really bad at acting cool
yeah, i can tell. now, about that kiss…
Mhm!
[he leans in closer]
