Are you having trouble with your feelings too?

[darksubverted]

[Is it funny if he forgot about the date? Yeah.]

What are you up to now, Manwol?

[BURN?]

[lifeless]

[riku.................... hands him his disney fckboy starter pack...]

you bid on me, remember!!!! you promised purikura! and that i could choose your outfits and poses!

[ignoring the burn for now]

[darksubverted]

I meant the burn!

[lifeless]

oh that
it's just for my arm

[darksubverted]

Manwol?!

Where are you?

[lifeless]

I didn't get burned today! It happened last week for an assignment.
I'm at the costume emporium right now.

[darksubverted]

[He doesn't even answer. He just marches to the emporium and shows up.]

Manwol.

[departea]

[ INTERNALLY SWEATING ]

Um. Yeah. It's just... so much, on top of everything else.

You know?

[lifeless]

[she's holding up a prince costume]

Here, Riku. Try this on first and let me know if it fits.

[darksubverted]

[MANWOL LMAO.

Well, the first thing she gets is a, What the heck is that? out of him despite the fact he's... reluctantly taking it? He stares at it, and then at her, and then

begrudgingly turns around to go see if he can try it on.]

[lifeless]

[LOOK THIS IS A DATE FIRST AND FOREMOST

Manwol will wait patiently outside the changing room, phone at the ready]

How is it? It fits, right? I have a pretty good eye for measurements.

[darksubverted]

It's... uh...

[Hm. When he comes out, he's walking a tad funny at first, and tugging on the bottom of the jacket to straighten it out.

Shockingly, he does not look bad at all in it! He just feels weird in it.]

It's something.

[lifeless]

[of course he doesn't look bad the fanart is super cute??? Manwol immediately takes a picture.]

Ooh, not bad. Maybe we should go with this first then!

[darksubverted]

[He looks down over himself, sort of making a face. And then he really does make a face when she snaps the picture.]

Do you have something... more... uh, not so...

...

Traditional?

[lifeless]

But it looks good on you.

[...]

Non-traditional as in...

[u do want to wear cosplay riku]

[lifeless]

[this is such a non-answer but also perfectly summarizes Manwol's feelings? She nods.]

It really is. ...I used to think all the songs about feelings were stupid.

[and now.... HUBRIS]

[darksubverted]

[NO.

There's no real words that come out of him, but Manwol gets some mental sort of floundering as he feels bad about being like NOT THIS when she says it looks good.]

You really want a guy to take you on a date looking like this, Manwol? Like... a fairytale prince?

[departea]

[ wow wonder why it's a non-answer anyway ]

They are, until they start perfectly describing every emotion you're feeling, right? Awful.

[lifeless]

[this is so funny... that's actually manwol's thought too. She just thinks that]

This is just one of the outfits I've planned for you today. We can switch to something else if you really don't like it.

[darksubverted]

[STOP. DON'T JUST THINK THAT. He tugs at the jacket a bit.]

...No, it's fine. It was a part of the agreement. At least it isn't itchy.

[lifeless]

[riku looks so cute...]

I would never pick something that's itchy! [wow!! anyway, she'll pull out two other outfits.]

Okay, try these on next.

[darksubverted]

[MANWOL. It's now that he realizes what kind of mistake he made in agreeing to this before. Wow. Very much like a teenager, he takes the two outfits and goes to try them on two.

The SuperGroupies one first because a) I'm garbage and love it, and b) he comes out way more confident than he had been in the other outfit.

It looks good on him! Stupid.]

[lifeless]

[DON'T CALL HIM STUPID???

Manwol immediately claps her hands together, and takes another photo]

Riku! You look so handsome! Wow.

[Is this why Taichi and Maya like you so much??]

You should dress like this every day.
