the time has finally arrived, the selected designers including y/n and kira, perfecting every last part of their outfits for their boss. the annual valentine's day fashion show was hosted in y/n's city, which was why the fashion company was selected to design outfits.
awaiting in the grand mint-shaded hall for the boss, her assistant and the unknown designer to arrive, kira tiptoed over to y/n's desk to get a peek at her design.
"this is fucking amazing!" kira gawked flabbergasted and amazed at y/n's design. the h/c haired girl giggled in slight embarrassment, thinking about the steps she had to go through in order to get here.
y/n smiled, licking away at a lollipop she got from the front desk, "thanks, k. i saw yours earlier, i love the shade of red you used, what code is it?"
"#CD5C5C." kira causally stated as she admired y/n's black dress further. the designer frowned upon the thought in her head, looked at the dress, then y/n for a few moments, the back at the dress and finally returned to y/n when her brain collected the pieces.
she questioned nonchalantly, "you got dicked by gojo down last week, didn't you?"
y/n was now the one flabbergasted. there was little to no information for kira to even think of that! the mother choked on her lollipop and quickly taking it out of her mouth. kira's face remained completely calm, while y/n's was the complete opposite.
"how the fuck did you-" y/n covered her mouth for a second, she whispered, "was i loud?"
one thing was for sure, y/n was not going to hold the burden of satoru making her moan loud enough for her neighbours to hear it. he would never let her forget it.
"nope!" kira positively responded, "you just seemed different today, so i just said something outrageous to see how you would react. i was expecting an 'ew why the fuck would i hook up with elephant from that barbie movie'*. not that."
"i still wonder what took over me.." y/n sighed to herself, cringing slightly as she looked up at the clock, "never mind that, they going to be here soon. good luck!"
"you too," kira smirked, crossing her fingers and receiving a middle finger from y/n.
the clock hit nine o'clock, and the designer stood next to her designs. y/n finally got a look at her competition, people had outstanding designs she didn't even think of! course someone had their typical cupid wings look, but others had a dress made out of papers hearts of various shades of red and pink. in y/n's eyes, the competition was tight.
her boss and her assistant kaneki stood at the front of the middle of the two lines of designers and designs.
the boss greeted politely, "now, welcome back everyone! i'm glad that every one of you arrived early for this exciting event. as you may know that you all have been selected to design an outfit for this year's valentines event, but only one of you can work alongside one of the world's most famous fashion designers of this generation: erika west." (and yeah she's made it up)
it wasn't present on her face, but y/n felt her heart skip multiple beats. you see, erika west has worked with numerous billion-worth fashion companies, which means she got connections, which means if y/n gets picked, she could work with her most favourite brands, and become hella fucking rich!
but.. there was a problem with that.
the crowd clapped and cheered at erika's entrance, the brightly coloured designers smiled and quieted them.
it's even a rhyme. depending on your accent.
she smiled, "thank you... it's an honour being here. now, without wasting time, let us find the perfect fit for my show.
erika west was very hard to impress.
"your outfit makes me want to give birth to a cow," west plainly stated to the first person, she stated coldly, "and i'm lactose intolerant. next!"
the next outfit had a chemistry theme to it, most likely referring to chemical reactions and how they are not easily changed. like crushes.
erika asked kindly, "you good at science!"
"yeah actually!" the designer bubbly replied.
"oh good!" erika giggled, "how many brain cells do humans have? ten million?"
"eighty-six billion, actually," the girl replied politely.
erika claimed harshly, "you're lacking all of them."
"oh my god," kira whispered to y/n who mimicked her shocked face.
erika wasn't usually this brutal. she was so mean, and this is coming from the girl who said that sukuna had a dick that had the quality of a discount raisin. west had picked only two (one of them was kira, loving how she stupidly made two colours make sense) before coming over to y/n.
erika froze, dropping her coffee mug and kaneki clumsily catch it, making y/n chuckle secretly.
"you completely misunderstood the assignment." erika tone was shocked and baffled, she quickly brightened it, "but i like it!"
"you do?" y/n frowned.
"duh!" erika gasped noticing more stuff about it. "it's not necessary valentines-theme, but it's something i would wear on valentine's day to impress my girlfriend! the use of teasing the chest area, and complimenting the waist and arms are amazing! it's giving, fifty shades of grey meets three hundred and sixty five days and more! you misunderstood the assignments, but made your own and made it even better than expected!"
"thanks, that's kinda what i was going for." y/n tried to hide her excited with her casual tone and attitude. "any bad stuff about or..?"
"well... it isn't mine." erika stepped back and looked down at y/n's boss, "i need that dress on my catwalk!"
"sure thing!" the boss smiled, giving y/n a secret thumbs up.
"walk with me to your office," erika announced her exit, leaving the designers alone to pick up their pieces for the day.
"we did it!" y/n and kira crushed each other in a hug. kira proceed, "we totally need to buy outfits for the day!"
"yeah~, i'm not going to waste another day making another outfit," y/n stated honestly as she finished packing her things, "i'm not going the hell i went through again!"
kira raised an eyebrow at y/n's claim, "something tells me, that you would do that shit again. but with something in your be-"
"you know too much." a suspicious y/n pointed her finger at kira.
*this is what kira was talking about.
