A formal event doesn’t exactly make for a great first date. There are one too many factors and sometimes it can be so very difficult to have a private moment. It could ruin things for them. It could ruin things between them. And, also, doesn’t this go against what they had said about Lance not rushing things?
[break][break]
But, he’s the one who implied she should ask, and he’s the one who agreed, so he should know what he’s doing, right?
[break][break]
”Guess you do. You better make it a nice one.”
[break][break]
She winks at him, smirking playfully, but it’s not like there’s anything difficult about picking out a suit to begin with. Unless he went with something atrocious, that is.

most likely, he's just going to pick out a suit he already owned because it's been too long since he's gone shopping on his own. the thought of it saddens him, really, but he chooses not to share it at this moment.[break][break]

"i'll be sure to match your dress."[break][break]

so they can be like those cute couples who wear matching outfits, except they aren't a couple.[break][break]

right?[break][break]

"which one are you going to wear?"

He really makes it sound like they’re a couple.
[break][break]
Hell, that’s probably what the store employees who keep looking at them think they are, isn’t it?
[break][break]
For a moment, Lia is caught up in the thought of it and of how nice it sounds, even if she knows all too well she really shouldn’t be allowing herself to think too much of all of that. To wish for it. To hope for it.
[break][break]
That won’t do any good, will it?
[break][break]
”Oh, that’s cute. Mmm… Dunno. Do you think I should wear this one? I could try a couple more...”
[break][break]
Looking at him, she smiles, considering her options.

it's definitely what the store employees are thinking, but who could blame them?[break][break]

at her question, his gaze shifts down to look at her dress again only to smile, leaning closer to once again kiss her cheek.[break][break]

"it's perfect. but i wouldn't mind seeing you in a few more."

Perfect.
[break][break]
The word drifts idly into her mind a second after a kiss is placed on her cheek, and it’s at both things that Lia smiles, looking up to meet his gaze as she has become so used to doing since they first met. A slight blush colours her cheeks, but she doesn’t mind this.
[break][break]
”I’ll try the other two and then we can go get some food. I’m starving.”
[break][break]
She chuckles, and it's then that she returns the gesture and kisses his cheek, smirking before returning to the fitting room.
[break][break]
”I’ll be back!”
[break][break]
And with that, she disappears behind a door.

inevitably, his mind wanders once again as she disappears behind a door, leaving him to his own thoughts.[break][break]

this time, however, he thinks of the soiree, of what's to come, and he can't help but smile. the smile lingers even after she steps back out.[break][break]

It’s silly but even though the fitting room is only a few metres away and there’s nothing but a thin door separating them, Lia still finds herself wishing she didn’t have to leave his side even if only for a few minutes. There’s obvious implications that come with those feelings, and she can recognize them because they’re there plain as day, but while usually they’d make her slightly concerned because of everything they have discussed, at this moment they make her happy.
[break][break]
So, a smile also lingers at her own lips when stepping out of the fitting room in the gold dress, so very easily finding Lance’s gaze.
[break][break]
”Hey. What do you think?”
[break][break]
She beams.

"i don't think i'm the best person to go shopping with."[break][break]

he chuckles, shaking his head slightly before taking a step towards her. once again, he reaches out for her.[break][break]

"beautiful as ever."

His chuckle is matched by one of her own, and this time, she steps closer too. It feels so easy, so natural, so right, and she can’t help but smile at the thought.
[break][break]
”Not the most constructive, no. But thanks, you’re really sweet.”
[break][break]
Not like she minds the fact that he isn’t constructive, what matters is that he’s here with her.
[break][break]
Still, she does have to pick a dress...
[break][break]
”How about this: does it look nicer than the last one?”

"hmm..."[break][break]

it's tough to pick, really, when she looks good in all of them. still, he knows they have to decide on one (or two?), so he shakes his head.[break][break]

"i like the last one more."

At least he’s trying, and that’s what matters, because his opinions are important to her as well.
[break][break]
After all, of course she’d want him to like what she’s wearing.
[break][break]
”Really? Hmm… Yeah, I think I like the last one more too…”
[break][break]
She looks at her reflection in the mirror for a moment, and then, she turns to meet his gaze once more. This time, smirking – playfully so.
[break][break]
”Do you like the last one more than the black one, though?”

that's a tough choice.[break][break]

"both are great, don't get me wrong, but i still like the last one more only because it fits you really well."[break][break]

the smirk is returned.[break][break]

"you should get the black one as well, though."

”Look at you actually giving a constructive answer, making me proud.”
[break][break]
Teasing, she smirks at this, even winking at him.
[break][break]
In all fairness, the answer does help, and it’s definitely much better than him just telling her she looks good in every dress. It gives her something to work with, and so does the next comment, although perhaps in a different way.
[break][break]
Looking up, her gaze finds his.
[break][break]
”Oh? What for?”
[break][break]
Naturally, the smirk remains.

her tease is met with a soft chuckle, but honestly, hearing her say she's proud of him feels oddly warm even if she had meant it as a joke. it makes his smile grow, though it quickly shifts into a grin.[break][break]

"for me."
