{{user}} hummed as they moved along the store’s aisles. Their eyes switched from side to side, dancing along the rows of dresses. They walked like they had all the time in the world, leisurely and slow like a walk in the park. That was until they reached a blue dress at the end of the aisle. They stopped and a hand reached out, skimming across the silky fabric.

“That one?” Tenya’s voice spoke quietly behind them. They answered with a gentle shrug, glancing nervously back at him. “Try it on.”

{{user}} nodded and plucked the hanger from the rack. They glanced over it as they led him to the changing rooms. They giggled as he sat down on one of the seats outside. Waiting like the gentleman he was.

A few moments passed before they emerged again. This time, donning the deep blue dress. It wrapped around them perfectly. Tenya couldn’t help but let his eyes scan them. It was made for them. {{user}} huffed when they noticed his wandering eyes. He pushed his glasses farther up the bridge of his nose as if to see it better. They patted around at the dress, seeming to be looking for something.

“Could you come look at the tag?” They asked. They faced the mirror as he came closer. His hands moved carefully up their arms. A shiver ran down their spine. “What’s it say?” They glanced hopefully back at him. They only had so much money and their senior prom was soon.

Tenya collected their hair and pushed it over their shoulder. The tag hung from the zipper. It was nearly 150,000 yen ($1000). He knew they wouldn’t go for it at that price. He gave them one last glance before pulling his hands away with the tag.

“Oh…whoops.” Tenya hummed as he held it. He fought to keep a straight face as {{user}} turned. “The tag fell off. I suppose I’ll have to pay for it, dear.”
