“I don’t think I have anything nice enough to wear,” Kaito sighed.
“..Just wear what you usually wear? I’m sure he won’t mind.”
“I wouldn’t call this very date-like.”
“You could borrow something of mine?”
“Really? You’d let me?”
“Course! Although I’m not sure what would fit you..but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there! C’mon, Kai,” said Meiko as she excitedly dragged Kaito to her wardrobe. The bluenette laughed softly, allowing himself to be dragged.
Although Meiko tended to favor red or black clothing, she wasn’t against other colors. So there was quite a lot to choose from.
“Mm… lets see. I think the stuff from this side is a bit too small for you—but everything else should be fine! Here’s some flowy-trousers Luka got me. I think they’d look cute on you!”
Kaito took the garment, it was quite similar to his normal choice of pants.
“Ooh, and I have some nice blue clothes over here….although most of them are pastel, not your usual blue, I hope you don’t mind.”
“This dress shirt could also look lovely on you! The embroidery sorta reminds me of your style. These over here also would be fitting, but I’m not sure if you’re into that kinda thing… ooh and here's a scarf! I know you like those. I have some more stuff over here too..”
As it turns out, Meiko's wardrobe was rather large. Kaito was unsure what to do with all the clothes being tossed at him.
“Mei, this is kind of a lot…. I don’t know what to do with all this.”
“Just pick whatever you like! I’ll help you style it.”
“Hmm… okay.”
He turned around to the ever-growing pile, and looked carefully. There was something that caught his eye..
“This maybe?”
It was a blue dress, meant to be worn over a blouse. It was very different from his usual attire.
“You do know that's a dress, right?”
“Yes? Is that… okay?”
“Of course it is! Just making sure,” she smiled.
The brunette turned to grab the matching blouse, a white frilly shirt lined with hints of blue. It kind of suited him, in a way.
“This goes with that, and as for accessories… I think I have just the thing!
She rummaged through her drawer, finding a pair of sheer white-lace tights. She also grabbed a pearl necklace and a blue side bag.
“Now, for shoes… hmm,” she handed the accessories to the bluenette. “I’m gonna go through yours and find something. You can change while I’m gone.”
“Okay, thank you Meiko.”
“You’re welcome! Holler if you need anything!”
She exited the room, closing the door behind her. She and Kaito kept their shoes in a bin near the front, separated by who’s of course. She figured Kaito’s normal shoes were nice enough, black goes with everything, and grabbed those.
She knocked on the door before heading back inside, “Can I come in?”
“Mhm! I’m just trying to put on the necklace you gave me..”
“Kai, you look wonderful!”
He blushed slightly at this, “Thank you. Could you help..?”
“Oh, of course! Sorry the snaps are a little hard to see,” she fastened the necklace in place.
“There we go. Your normal shoes match everything, so they should be fine.”
“Do you think he’ll like it?”
“Of course he will, and either way it doesn’t matter, as long as you like it!” (And if he says anything mean, I will yell at him.)
“Hmm, okay. What time is it?”
“6:00.”
“Aah, he’s going to be here soon. I have to hurry,” he said whilst sliding the shoes on.
As if on cue, the doorbell rang.
“Goodluck, Kaito!”
“Thank you Meiko, for everything. I’ll see you later!”
“Mhmm. Go enjoy your date.”
He smiled, before leaving to answer the door. Gakupo was dressed up as well, adorning a lavender dress-shirt, black pants, and a matching knit-vest that was ever-so-slightly oversized.
His eyes widened when he saw the bluenette, “Kaito… you look very nice.” he settled on. He laughed, “As do you, Gakupo.”
He reached out and held the other’s hand, “Shall we?” “We shall,” Kaito mocked.
Neither of them could stop smiling the entire night.
