N-never mind.

[sobs internally]

From:

digiorno

That's right.

[He pats Kakyoin's cheek as they drift into the middle of the shopping district, such as it is.]

I just hope that you let him wear a coat on the way to wherever you end up going. It's cold out this time of year. Hm, the shop should still be open by now . . .

From:

lapidarius

[his life is hard.]

Can...can we just talk about something else?

From:

digiorno

You're adorable. Of course we can. Oh, good, it is open.

[He drags Kakyoin into the Dolorosa's shop Whether He Likes It Or Not, making a beeline towards the section he hopes will be most fruitful.]

I really should have thought about this sort of cut for you before, you know. Flowing skirts are wonderful, but the hips. [The hips!] What else did you want to talk about?

From:

lapidarius

Er... [why is his fate simply to suffer] What, uh...do you think I should wear with it? Would those shoes you got me be fine, or is there something else I should be looking for?

From:

digiorno

Hm. No, I think you should go for something a little less dramatic than heels, since the qipao itself is meant to be dramatic. Unless you want to be incredibly tall for your anniversary or something. Flats, maybe? Something to match . . . silver, probably, maybe green.

We ought to find the dress first, though, and match the shoes after. [fashion is srs]

From:

lapidarius

That makes sense, I think. [It...sounded like logic?]

Oh--it has to be something that won't look out of place with this, though. [He reached into his pocket and took out a hairpin decorated with a delicate looking cherry blossom.]

From:

digiorno

. . . Oh? Did he get you that?

[eyezooms at presents]

From:

lapidarius

He did. It's pretty nice, isn't it?

From:

digiorno

It's beautiful. I didn't know you could give presents before the anniversary, though. Does it still count?

[no one is taking a tally, child]

From:

lapidarius

Hm? This from the one who complained endlessly about the concept of White Day, now you're wondering what does and doesn't count?

From:

digiorno

You know what? Shut up.

[Leave him alone he has done nothing wrong, ever, in his life.]

I'm just asking. I'm stealing your qipao if you keep this up.

From:

lapidarius

I'm a little taller than you, it might not fit.

[five centimeters isn't that much but by god it's all he has on someone in this damn house]

From:

digiorno

I'll steal it and put it on Danny.

From:

lapidarius

Oh, come on, I'm hardly picking on you any more than I do with Polnareff. You don't have to threaten me with something that bad.

From:

digiorno

But Danny would look so nice in it.

[He sticks out his tongue.]

From:

lapidarius

Is that worth depriving everyone of how good I'll look in it?

I was even going to ask you to help with makeup, but if this is how it's going to turn out I guess you won't need to.

From:

digiorno

I'm going to do your makeup whether you like it or not.

From:

lapidarius

I knew you'd want to regardless.

From:

digiorno

You can't make me annoyed enough with you that I don't want to do your makeup.

You still didn't answer my question, though.

From:

lapidarius

I don't know if it counts or not, I've been trying not to keep score since you got so upset about March.

From:

digiorno

. . . Oh.

[Was he that awful? He pauses, his hand hovering over a pair of shoes. He remembers feeling terribly adamant about the stupidity of it all, except now it seems important. Or something.]

Sorry. Mm. Polnareff keeps talking about--you know. What you're supposed to do? Anyway. Give me the pin for a minute.

From:

lapidarius

Well...it was kind of silly, once you pointed it out. There's no reason to hold so rigidly to tradition when it's overcomplicating things.

[Kakyoin held out the pin, shrugging and seeming honestly sincere about that.]
