"How do I look?" Reiji exited the changing room, clad in casual clothing. He wore a white t-shirt, with a grey blazer over, and blue jeans. Although, he still wore that blue visor, sitting on his head. The boy brushed off nothing from his shoulder, and flicked the sides of his blazer, before slowly spinning to show off everything about the outfit. This earned a giggle from Mio. She lifted a hand to cover her mouth, and laughed.

"What's so funny?" The brunet asked, but he was hardly upset, there was still a smile on his face. "You don't like it?"

"No, no. I think it looks wonderful on you." Mio responded. The two had left the bench they were sitting at outside, and decided to take a walk around town. Reiji had suddenly pulled Mio into a fancy clothing store, and asked if she would help him pick out some clothes. He seemed to always be wearing that blue cloak, which wasn't very casual at all, albeit he looked very good in it.

"Really? Should I buy it?" Reiji took a glance at the price tags.

"How do you have the money for this? I hope you don't mind me asking." Mio was very curious. The boy paid for their ice cream and now was about to buy a whole outfit? She figured he didn't have a job, since he never stayed in one place for longer than a month. So, that meant he most likely didn't have a job.

"Tournaments. I beyblade for money. It pays pretty damn well." Reiji replied.

"How come I had no idea who you were, then? I apologize for that by the way." Mio neatly placed her hands in her lap. ". . . You're not beyblading underground, right? Nothing sketchy like that?"

"Of course not!" Reiji spoke quickly, he didn't want Mio to get the wrong idea. "I just don't play in the big leagues, you know? Smaller tournaments that don't get as much attention. I don't really like being on television."

"Ah, I see. Neither do I, so I understand." The white haired girl nodded. "Anyways, are you going to buy the clothes? Why don't you try on something else?"

"I'll buy it if you let me buy something for you." The boy smiled.

"What? No, I couldn't do that to you. Please don't spend more money on me!" Mio furrowed her brows, a soft frown marring her face.

"Come on, you said the outfit looks nice, don't you want me to buy it? Why don't you try some things on?" Reiji stepped over to the girl and took her hands. She hesitated for a moment, before standing up, and allowing him to take her around the store. They looked at a lot of clothes, but Mio only seemed to be looking at the price tags. So, to make things easier, Reiji just pulled things he liked - off of the racks. Whatever he thought would look lovely on the girl, was what he pulled off and hung up in the dressing room. He coaxed the girl inside the stall, and closed the door before she could make any protests. With a satisfied grin on his face, Reiji went ahead and took the seat she was sitting at earlier.

Mio sighed, looking through all the fancy dresses, skirts, and blouses. She first tried on a white blouse, light pink plaid skirt, and matching blazer, along with a plain pink tie. It took her a while before she mustered up the courage to leave the dressing stall. Slowly opening the door, she nervously stepped out. Her hands were clasped together at her front, and she couldn't manage to maintain eye contact.

"You look so pretty! The pink compliments your eyes so well." Reiji stared at the girl in awe. He knew she'd look good in everything, but this exceeded his expectations.

"I don't know. . ." Mio tucked some hair behind her ear. There was a visible blush on her face, one which Reiji found so endearing.

"Okay, try another outfit on. I'm sure you'll find something you'll like!" The boy encouraged her.

"Okay. . ." Mio went back into the stall and changed out of the outfit, before trying on another one. She exited the stall, this time wearing a short black bodycon dress, with a chic white collar.

"Ooh, so professional. You look like you're going to a job interview." Reiji chuckled. "You've really got a good. . . Uh. . ."

"A good what?" Mio blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Frame?" He tried to put it as subtle as possible, but the girl immediately flushed and threw herself back into the stall. ". . . Sorry!" He felt the need to apologize.

Mio then came out wearing a qipao, which gave Reiji a nosebleed - one that he had to try and hide as casually as possible.

Lastly, she exited the stall wearing a white strap dress, a baby blue blazer and a matching blue scarf around her neck. This outfit made Reiji stand up.

"It's perfect." Mio had a faint smile on her face. Finally, she was content with something. The girl twirled in her place just for the sake of it, and that put such a big smile on Reiji's face.

"You're so gorgeous, you know that?" Reiji exhaled. "We're buying this one for sure!"
