[honestly he pulls it off far better than even Akira thought he would, and that is why he is making sure to stare directly at Minato's face annnnnd not at his legs]
Truthfully speaking? It looks pretty good on you.
[his lips twitch into a small smile]
But matters most is how comfortable you feel in it.
[. . . huh. he actually kind of likes that style! it reminds him a bit of Joker's jacket, only less "cool and slick rebel" and more "suave and gentlemanly phantom thief."]
[his lips curve into a grin]
I'm willing to give it a try. It might even go with the outfit I have now.

Yeah, well... Okay.
[He'll disappear behind a rack again. When he comes back out, it's in this.
Akira did say one at a time.
He is not wearing the heels, just the socks. He is wearing the tie though.]

[he was prepared for Minato in the skirt the FIRST time around, but not this time around, and he has to take a moment to]

[evenly, his expression not wavering]
Very sexy, senpai.
no subject
Thanks. That's the first layer. Does it suit me?
[he's androgynous enough to pull it off but he's not trying hard enough to pull it off.]

[The sincere appraisal does seem to make him a little bashful; he looks away, smoothing down the skirt with a hand.]
It's probably not something I'd wear on a daily basis, to be honest... I'll go try on the one you picked out instead.
[OFF HE GOES somewhat hastily.]
no subject
[. . .]
[sneaks a small peek at his ass in that skirt before swiftly turning away. BE GOOD, AKIRA]
no subject
Live your dreams, Akira. Anyway, after a few moments he returns in the steampunk outfit Akira picked out for him.
He loooooks ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. But in a kind of cute sort of way.]
no subject
[but the moment passes as quickly as it arrived, and Akira appraises his senpai in that new steampunk outfit with lips tugged downward into a frown]
Noooot quite. . . let's see. Maybe something more like--
[and he pulls out this!]
no subject
Back behind the racks to change!
When he comes out he's wearing the tunic and the leggings.
And the steampunk hat.
It shouldn't work, but it kind of does.]
Any better?
no subject
Much better.
And the hat is a very nice touch.
no subject
I like it. You gave it to me.
no subject
[closes it again]
Ah. . .
[it's not. that special?? he though BUT WHAT DOES HE SAY TO THAT!!]
no subject
Do you need to look for more clothes while we're here? It feels like I shouldn't be the only one playing dress up.
no subject
I feel like it's only fair that you pick out something for me in return.
no subject
Focus Minato.]
Oooohhh, okay. Let me see.
[Time to go wander the store!!
Eventually he will pull this from the rack. The quality is only Okay, but even so...]
... I bet you'd look really nice in something like this.
no subject
[his lips curve into a grin]
I'm willing to give it a try. It might even go with the outfit I have now.
[PIRATE WEAR but with a cool coat!]
no subject
Oh boy!]
Okay, that's--good. I'm glad that you like it.
no subject
Ooooh. I feel so fancy.
[adjusting the cuffs of the jacket as he says this]
no subject
Minato pauses, blinking a little, and then clears his throat.
... Akira looks a lot better than he was expecting, even.]
You really make it look natural, almost... you look great.
no subject
Thanks. I'll take it.
This feels like a pretty successful shopping trip.
no subject
[Minato shrugs a little.]
I didn't think it was a big deal, but... it actually does feel a lot better to have more options than the prison stripes.
no subject
[smoothing out his jacket. he really likes it. . .!]
But an outfit can go along way to brightening someone's spirits.
no subject
You're right. I'll be sure to wear mine more too.
We're making the best of things here, and I'm glad.
