"A Yukata?"
The girl grabbed her speaker and tapped a button to stop the music, staring at Takemichi as he was all blushing and shy at her door "You want me to wear one?"
It was a new day, August second
Only one more day and then it would all go down. But, it seems that Takemichi had something he wanted to ask her
He rapidly nodded "Y-Yes! I had to remember, t-this is your first time in Japan! And, well.."
He looked away from her gaze and looked to the left
"I was..Thinking..What would you look like in a Yukata"
A laugh came to his ears, making him stare in confusion but, she only smirked and lift a finger at him "You sure you ain't askin' me on a date, Michi?"
He became even brighter and lift his hands "No! Not that I wouldn't go on one, I was just asking if you want to wear something but, it's fine if you don't want to! I mean, you are really pretty and I think you would fit one, not saying that it would make you look better or anything. Wait, I swear I'm not calling you ugly, I just-! We can-"
"Sure"
He stopped his rambling and looked over as (Y/n) stood and walked to her phone, taking it off the charger and walking towards him "Let's go then, Michi"
He stared at her in shock, blinking rapidly "R-Really?"
(Y/n) nodded and laughed "Of course!"
She sniffed and then stared at him in surprise "Oooh.." She grasped his cheeks and brought his head down, sniffing again to smell his hair "Damn, it smells good.."
"...Maybe we should stay home.."
He gawked as she began pulling him inside "Wait! (Y-(Y/n)-San!"
-
After having a little tussle with him about staying home and playing in his hair, he finally was able to drag her outside and to the shops!
As they walked, (Y/n) couldn't help but hold her head high and try to ignore the stares on her being
It made her want to run away but, they just felt so intimidating. And there were so many!
Did they have to stare!
"Oh, there's one!"
There in the window sat a pretty black Yukata on a Woman mannequin. And another sat on a Man, but in green and blue
(Y/n) stared at them in awe while Takemichi began going inside
To think, she was actually in Japan. A country much different than her own..
"Excuse me.."
She looked to the side and stared at the child below her as they watched her with wide eyes
"Why is your skin so dark?"
A deadpan came to her face
'Never in my life did I think a kid would ask me this-'
She then began to shake her hands and smile with a sweatdrop "O-Oh, well, I'm African American, I'm a different race than you, that's all"
She then deadpan just a little as the girl tapped her chin. Did she explain it well? Not only that, she wasn't dark dark! (She was a good evenly brown skin!/ Well- Maybe she was but still! / She was a little light but damn!)
(Chose whichever one fits you better;)^ )
The little girl then looked down and hummed "So, it's because we have different Mommies?"
(Y/n) opened her mouth to speak before nodding "Yup. Something like that" She didn't know what to tell her! She'll learn someday but, how do you explain races to a Child-
"There you are!"
(Y/n) looked upward as a boy ran over, a relieved smile on his face "Stop running off like that. Sorry about this!"
She shook her head and waved it off "No, no! It's fine!"
He smiled back and held out his hand "C'mon, Midori"
The child grasped his hand and let the boy pull her off into the crowd. (Y/n) released an air of breath, happy that things were calm now
She looked to the door as it opened, showing Takemichi as he gave her a confused stare "I thought you walked in.."
She looked to him and moved over to him "My bad, I got distracted"
"African American...So she is foreign"
The Male scoffed as the little girl next to him stared at the money in her hand "Of course she is, you can tell by looking at her" It made sense after all. She had these odd twist things in her hair too. You don't see that everyday here in Japan
The other that stood with them glanced back to the shop she walked in. She had came with Takemichi, and seeing that they were in a shop for certain types of clothing, that meant she was going to be at the Festival..
He narrowed his eyes and then pulled out his phone, sitting it to his ear. And soon, a voice answered back, happy as ever
"Yes~"
Those blue eyes of his stared at the girl as she laughed at Takemichi, who was holding up a Yukata for him to wear
"Hanma.."
He turned his back to them and held the phone closer while the two with him just kept their distance
"I have something for you to do"
-
The girl lift her arms up as she stared at the way the Yukata sat on her body
She then turned around and stared at her back and sides. A frown came to her face "Does it look big..?"
They had gone through some, even gotten Takemichi to try one!
But, the only trouble was, how we're they going to find the right one for (Y/n)?
White was iffy, red was cute but, meh. Then, they had the ones with designs. Some were pretty and some were bold
It was like Wedding Dress shopping! It felt so stressful!
"Is your Girlfriend having trouble?"
"A-Ah!? Girlfriend-"
The girl poked her head out and stared the employee as they stood with Takemichi. She looked to (Y/n) and then gasped for a second before smiling "Need any help?"
The girl looked down and then nodded "Yeah, I just can't find the right one"
The Employee stepped forward, moving the curtain just a little "Let me see"
(Y/n) let her hop right on in and observe. As she stood there, the Woman hummed and tapped her chin "Hm...I see"
It looked a bit bulky and tight on her but, it made sense. Her build wasn't like most of the other girls here. She could tell this girl had more meat on her than the average teen that came around the Mall
Yukatas were something you had to choose by certain measures
Then again, she'll let it slide. Most people who weren't native here didn't know that
The Woman pat her shoulder and lift a finger "I think we have one that is just right for you"
She cupped the girl's ear and leaned down some
"Don't show your Boyfriend until tomorrow. That way, you'll surprise him"
Before (Y/n) could speak and defend her words, the Woman was already leaving. It made her think, did she and Takemichi really look like a couple?
Was it normal for people to mistake them to be together?
Really, only Mikey had said something about it
Right? That's all she could remember
However, on the other side of the curtain, Takemichi could only sweatdrop the more he thought about it
Boyfriend..
Him and (Y/n)?
He rubbed the back of his neck to try and distract himself. He wasn't trying to move on this quick
What about Hinata..
"Oh, Takemitchy!"
He looked to the side to find a certain blonde walking over with his hands in his pockets "You're stuck here too?"
-
The girl pulled the curtain to the side and stepped out before looking at the two before her in surprise
"Mike?"
He looked over and smiled "You're both here then"
She walked over, holding the box the Woman had given her. She instructed her how to put it on and fold it. How helpful!
(Y/n) lift a brow as Takemichi stood next to her "Whatchu' here for?" Mikey then shrugged with his usual smile "My Sister wanted to find a Yukata to wear for the Festival"
Takemichi tilted his head "Emma-Chan?"
(Y/n) only gasped and smiled "You have a Sister? You don't tell me anything!"
Takemichi lift a brow at her, confused on her wording-What was she talking about? (Y/n) knows who Emma is
'Oooh! Right, they don't know about (Y/n)-San being from...Right-'
Mikey only pat her shoulder with a laugh "You never asked!"
She shook her head at him with a smile. Classical Mikey
"Mikeyy! Come see!"
He looked back and sighed before turning to them and waving "Welp, I'm off"
(Y/n) waved back at him while Takemichi smiled back at him
She hummed and watched Mikey go as they fell back to the quietness "Didn't expect to see him here"
Takemichi glanced to the box and then tilted his head "You didn't want to show me?"
"Takemichi! So eager.."
"Not like that!"
-
(Y/n) stared around before stopping and rubbing her chin "Uh-Oh.."
Takemichi looked over to her as they stopped at the door. He was holding the bag with the Yukata, especially since he wouldn't let (Y/n) carry it
She turned around and smiled at him "I left my phone in the changing room, I'll be right back"
And off she went, going back to where the rooms were
Now how did she leave it there? Usually, she always had it on her. Guess she went blank for a moment and left
As soon as she rounded the corner, her eyes were meet with Mikey as he sat on the chairs that Takemichi were. He looked bored but, as soon as he saw her, he lit up like a ray of Sunshine
She walked past him and ruffled his hair, the boy having a cutesy smile on his face from the action
The curtain was pulled back and a wave of relief came from the girl once she saw the phone
Of course, leave it to her to toss this thing like it was nothing. Thank God no one took it, the damn thing still looked futuristic-
"(N/n)-Chin,"
She looked over as she grabbed the phone, walking out to see Mikey leaning back some in the chair "Are you going to the Festival too?"
(Y/n) nodded at him and laughed "Yup, that's why Michi brought me here"
Mikey soon perked up, his smile falling into a look of curiosity "Huh? You're going with Take...Michi?"
She nodded yet again and tilted her head at him "You comin' too? Oh, you can join us!"
Mikey stared at her for a moment longer before smiling and waving his hand "You go have fun with Takemitchy on your date. No matter what you say, he's your Boyfrie--Mikey!"
He laughed as she shook him back and forth "Boy, don't play with me! I told you he wasn't!"
"But you get so blushy and act like a school girl! 'Michi, I'm so sorry, I made an extra Bento-Would you like it instea-"
"StAHP!"
Hearing the other voice, the girl on the other side of the curtain in a changing room could only lean in some and cup her ear
Was her Brother..
Talking to a Girl!?
