Writing prompt: A person shopping, desperate to find an outfit for a friend’s upcoming wedding

Soooooo... this turned in Stardew Valley fan fiction. Please forgive me. Thank you for asking lovely!!!!

The music in the store was annoying. Some pop shit Haley didn't like. She had one goal. Find a nice dress for Alex and the Farmer’s wedding.

Alex is her best friend in all of Stardew Valley. They've been friends since they were small children. They hang out on the beach together. She spends time with him while he sells ice cream to raise money for his sports team in the summer. She shows him her photography. She listens while he rambles about sports.

She always thought it would be her and Alex getting married. They just never moved naturally into a romantic relationship. But when she saw the way he looks at the Farmer she knew her fantasy would stay like that.

It took Haley about a year to come to terms with Alex and the Farmer dating. She distanced herself from Alex for months. She avoided the Farmer for the full year. It took until Alex called her out on her weird behavior to change. She realized she didn't want to lose her best friend. She didn't tell him why she was acting the way she was. She said something along the lines of her being depressed lately. That only fueled Alex to be more in her life.

So now here she is. Standing in a store that's too expensive for Emily's meager salary. She was determined to look good. Better than good. Sexy. Haley wants to show Alex what he's missing out on. Just because she's come to terms with them being together doesn't mean she likes it.

Haley pulls out another dress from the racks. This one a strapless purple knee length dress. Not something she'd normally wear. But she figured “fuck it” and took it with her to the dressing room where 30 more dresses waited for her.

She ended up choosing a blue dress that hugs her curves. Small pink polka dots decorate the dress. She thinks Alex will spend the whole time staring at her. In reality he spends the whole time smiling at the Farmer.

Watching

Summer in Pelican Town got surprisingly intense near the season's apex. The heat wave that rose from the asphalt near the broken-down bus was visible, warbling your vision the longer you stared. Everyone always looked parched, even the villagers who adored this time of year. Birds floated about lazily and the siren call of the crisp blue ocean was undeniable.

Haley and Alex basked in the sun despite the searing heat. They lounged together on beach towels, soothed by the salty sea breeze as they gossiped. The only thing that snagged their interest was Casey, the town's very own enigmatic farmer, as he approached.

He'd gone shirtless for his chores today, a dark flannel tied around his waist and a jet black cowboy hat perched on his head. His wiry muscled frame was shimmering with sweat, every scar on unabashed display. Haley and Alex watched, slightly slack-jawed, as Casey marched through the sand towards the dock, an empty bucket gripped in his prosthetic hand and a fishing pole slanted over one shoulder. He waved, his usual terrifying scowl softening when he smiled at the pair.

"Goodness," Haley gasped, blinking sand out of her eyes to clear her vision. "You just know it's big."

"Know what's big?"

Haley and Alex whipped their heads around. Behind them, looking flushed and scandalized, was Elliott. A year of living on the beach helped him traverse the sand and errant pebbles as silent as a shadow. He followed their shared line of interest, his cheeks only burning hotter when he noticed Casey fishing away on the dock. His muscles rippled as he reeled back and casted his line. Even if his busy map of scars were meant to be hideous, they only made him that much more attractive. His mismatched eyes, his charcoal hair artfully streaked with platinum, his strong broad hands, his shapely rear--

"I guess we're all staring, huh?" Haley looked smug as both boys fumbled with excuses.

"A man can appreciate another man's muscles without it bein' gay!"

"Indeed! I simply can find good inspiration for a classical protagonist in someone as physically fit as our beloved farmer!"

"Hey," Haley's intense grin only widened. "I'm not the one having a crisis here. And I'm not the one who has a special nickname for him."

"I was assured he went by his middle name as equally as 'Casey'," Elliott huffed. "Just because I'm the only one who uses it doesn't mean--"

"Y'all alright?"

The trio jumped as the aforementioned farmer ambled over, tipping back his cowboy hat as he approached.

"Yeah, they're just being dumb silly boys," Haley offered Casey a sweeter smile. "Catch anything good?"

"Naw," Casey sighed. He swung his arm a little, rattling the woefully empty fish bucket. "Guess it's not in the cards today."

"Shame," Haley felt pride in holding some semblance of polite conversation while Alex and Elliott openly stared in stunned silence. "I hope your luck improves."

"Thanks, Haley."

Casey started to walk back into town, only to pause. He looked the three over, his scowl melting into a charming smirk.

"It is big by the way." He made a show in hitching up his jeans one-handed. 

Haley's eyebrows shot up, her face now equally red as her two unlikely companions. Casey tipped his hat before setting off, a low crackly laugh escaping his chest.
