Chapter Text
Char was skipping in front of their little group. Given that some of the group had needed new cloths due to their last fight had meant that they had to go shopping. While that had been one reason, they had also taken Char with them, to get her new cloths as an early Christmas present. akuri, Shiba and Chihiro were talking to each other, all showing little enthusiasm, with Hakuri seeming the most excited, which in the end was still little.
In the mall, they headed into a store, the group splitting of due to their different styles. Char had headed towards the kids’ section, her eyes looking for specific items. A small, mischievous smile grew on her face.
About half an hour later, the rest of the group came to check up on her, which resulted in her quickly hiding the cloths she had found behind her back. She happily instructed them to take a seat by the changing rooms. She had told them to wait, so she could show off her chosen cloths.
The three men sit obediently, waiting for the young girl to come back out of the changing room. When the curtain swings open and Char came out in a pair of black pants, a white button up and a pair of suspenders. The outfit complimented her looks. Shiba had narrowed his eyes, seemingly figuring something out. Chihiro as well had a suspicious glint in his eyes, however had stayed silent similar like Shiba did. Hakuri, who had noticed the behaviour of the other two men, observed them but remained confused.
That is until Char had returned from changing into the next outfit. This time, she had been wearing an all-black outfit, once again with black pants and an additional turtleneck and coat, all in the colour of black ink. Hakuri gasped and pointed his finger back and forth between Char and Chihiro, having figured out that she was dressing them same as his friend did. Or at least, she had been trying to get as close as possible, having done the same with the outfit before.
As soon as he had connected the dots, Hakuri had figured out that the previous outfit had been inspired by Shiba, which in turn had made Hakuri quietly chuckle. Give that the outfit had been focused on Chihiro on the moment, he spied over to his friend, who was spotting a small and quite proud smile. Once again, Char happily bathed in the compliments that had been given to her, this time from an unknown mother that had been watching her as well. Like before, the youngest of the group went to change.
Hakuri started a conversation with Chihiro, guessing as who Char would return out next. Chihiro entertained his idea, even though there was something in his eyes that gave Hakuri the impression that Chihiro already knew who would be next.
Char had jumped right in front of Hakuri, making him fall almost off the chair he had been sitting on. She laughed before spinning, showing off her outfit off from all sides. Chihiro complimented her with a quiet huff, his mouth twitching upwards.
It took Hakuri a few seconds before realising that she looked almost like him, with her white button up, black pants and cardigan. He let out a little laugh, told her that she looked adorable and hugged her with a grin on his face.
In the end, Char had three new outfits that reminded her off her favourite people in the world, similar to how Hinao had gifted her an old jacket.
