(@justcompletemesses, Zhou Yu) Zip Me (except it being Aphrodi trying to find Yu more suitable clothes. I lowkey want these two to become good friends despite the language barrier [which Yu will slowly overcome])
Drabble Me || @justcompletemessesLeave an “Zip Me” in my ask, and I’ll write a drabble about yourcharacter dressing mine, or the other way around [this can also be usedfor shutting them up as well, but feel free to specify.]
The lack of unique clothing the other was rather surprising to someone who couldn’t resist the latest fashion trends. Aphrodi simply couldn’t have the other around in such clothes- he could but why not go on a shopping trip for fun? It would be a nice excuse to get out of the house and have Zhou Yu in something that wouldn’t get him odd stares here. So, the blonde offers to buy him clothes, something more modern and fashionable.
His Chinese is broken and really he can only try to pronounce certain words (he has a feeling he’s probably speaking worse than a child at his level), hoping to at least get the key words, ‘buy’ and ‘clothes’ out. For a moment he wishes that Sun Ce was around, at least he could help with this, but these two would have to learn the other language at some point. Eventually, Aphrodi manages to get across what he wants to do. The other seems to protest for a moment, tripping over words as he just can’t seem to find the ones he needs in that foreign language, but the blonde simply smiles and takes his hand.
You really can’t say no to a god.
It’s a short trip to the mall and there are many, many stores the two can visit. Aphrodi looks over to the other male, arms crossed as he tries to imagine an outfit for him to wear. It would have to be amazing, eye catching, and of course, suit the other as well, compliment his natural style. An idea of where to go clicks in his mind and he’s making the hand gestures for Zhou Yu to follow.
They wind up at a store Aphrodi has gone to a few times since his move here, the styles offered here reminds him of home. He’s quick to head over to the men’s section, assuming his new friend was following after him. The man hums as he searches through the various clothing racks, occasionally picking out a set of clothes and holding them before the other. He would either shake his head to the mismatching styles, or consider them. When he finds, what he believes, are the ideal clothes (or close enough to it), the blonde lets out a gasp.
“Try these on!” He doesn’t even try to say that in his native language, rather he simply holds out the clothes and begins pushing him towards the changing rooms. Surely Zhou Yu would understand that he would have to try on these clothes. Aphrodi patiently waits outside, glancing over to the other clothes and considers buying something for himself. Not today, he tells himself, it’s all for Zhou Yu instead.
When his friend steps out of the changing room, a hand raises over Aphrodi’s mouth. “It looks amazing!” He shouts before trying to at least translate amazing or another similar term in Chinese for the other to understand. He laughs softly as he realizes that he’s a bit more excited in the change of clothing than Zhou Yu is. That doesn’t stop him from trying to search out more clothes in order to expand his wardrobe.
“Just another few sets of clothes and then we can go, okay?” The man smiles, dashing off to find more clothes for the other to wear without another word.
