lips still curled into a smirk, he chuckles.[break][break]

"no promises."[break][break]

even if he really shouldn't be getting any ideas.[break][break]

"i think you should, but..."[break][break]

his expression softens a little as he pulls back to look at her.[break][break]

"do you want to?"

Can he really be blamed for getting ideas? He probably shouldn’t, but then again, it’s not like Lia is guiltless of that either…
[break][break]
”Mmm… I don’t know.”
[break][break]
Her answer is honest, and giving him a smirk, she turns her attention to her reflection in the mirror.
[break][break]
”I’ve never cared much for having random people ogling.”
[break][break]
She chuckles at this, for while not particularly narcissistic, it’s all too obvious that that’s exactly what would happen when wearing a dress like this. It would happen to anyone, honestly.
[break][break]
Ogling can lead to getting hit on by randoms, which in Lia’s opinion, definitely gets annoying.
[break][break]
”It’s pretty, but not all that comfortable…”
[break][break]
Understatement of the century, since dresses like these so very rarely are the latter.

he chuckles as well, eyes drifting down for moments.[break][break]

"yeah it doesn't look too comfortable."[break][break]

and random people ogling is definitely not fun.[break][break]

"i think you should get something you like and feel comfortable in because you'll look beautiful in it either way."[break][break]

she'd look good in anything, really.

Even though the compliment is appreciated, Lia still can’t help but roll her eyes, chuckling once more before turning to look at Lance.
[break][break]
”What happened to trying to be constructive, hm?”
[break][break]
A smirk, and she steps closer to him, getting on the very tips of her toes to give him a gentle and quick peck on the cheek – as if it's nothing. As if it doesn't mean anything. But, doesn't it?
[break][break]
”You’re sweet. I’ll try on a couple more and then decide, be right back.”
[break][break]
Just like that, she goes back to the fitting room, giving him a smile.

"in my defense, i did try..."[break][break]

just not his best.[break][break]

the quick peck on his cheek catches him off guard. he smiles, feeling warm at such a simple gesture that should mean nothing but for whatever reason means a lot to him. he appreciates it, appreciates her, and appreciates this moment.[break][break]

"come back soon."[break][break]

and with that, he waits once again.

It should mean nothing, but if it didn’t, she wouldn’t have done it to begin with, would she?
[break][break]
It was because it’s him, and because truly, she’s happy that he’s here with her even if he’s not being all that helpful. It’s nice, and the kind of thing she should get used to, but should she really be thinking things like those?
[break][break]
Probably not.
[break][break]
Instead of dwelling on all of that, she simply turns her attention to getting changed, this time going with one of her own choices – a white backless dress, the flowers tattoed on her back being as if centerpiece when she ties her hair up.
[break][break]
”Okay, I think I only have it in me to try a couple more.”
[break][break]
She chuckles as she steps out, smiling at him just as before.

when she steps back out, he's just as speechless as he had been earlier, but he manages to smile before reaching out for her arm.[break][break]

"i like it."[break][break]

he realizes he's not being constructive or helpful in the slightest, so gently, he spins her so her back's facing towards him. the same hand traces up her back, smoothing over inked skin.[break][break]

"i like this one more than the others because it shows your back."

She almost pouts when he makes the same comment as before, even if it’s as welcomed as ever, but it’s the way in which he reaches for her arm that distracts her from this thought…
[break][break]
The way in which he spins her around with so much ease...
[break][break]
The way in which fingers trace the inked skin of her back.
[break][break]
Biting softly onto her lower lip, Lia holds back a yelp, and she can feel the warmth of blood rushing to her cheeks – a breath being taken to steady herself while a smile lingers on her lips.
[break][break]
”Yeah? I like it too… It’s nice. I usually prefer simpler things.”
[break][break]
White; simple and pristine.
[break][break]
But, it doesn't just apply to clothes, does it?

the steady breath is noticed, and it coaxes him closer with a step as he continues to caress her skin.[break][break]

"it suits you."[break][break]

through the reflection, he smiles at her, noticing just how close he'd gotten. he doesn't mind, evident by how he lowers slightly to kiss her shoulder. it's subtle, quick, but meaningful.

It makes her heart race.
[break][break]
All of it does; from beginning to end.
[break][break]
The way he steps closer, his touch, his words, his smile, and the kiss on her shoulder.
[break][break]
It’s meaningful. It is to her, at least. How couldn’t it be?
[break][break]
”Lance…”
[break][break]
Through the reflection on the mirror, she holds his gaze, ignoring how much she’s blushing because of all of this.
[break][break]
What can she say? What should she say?
[break][break]
Instead of the words that she does want to say, she asks something else that has been in her mind – as if a sudden and swift change of topic, yet one that still relates to the situation they’re in.
[break][break]
”...Are you going to the star soirée? In Mossdeep?”
[break][break]
She hadn't told him what all this is for, after all.

it's meaningful to him, too.[break][break]

not particularly minding the change in topic, he shakes his head.[break][break]

"i don't think so."[break][break]

he assumed the dresses are for some sort of event.[break][break]

"no one's asked me yet."[break][break]

the look he gives her is knowing, as is the smile.

If only slightly, an eyebrow quirks up at his response, as well as at the knowing smile tugging at his lips, and inevitably so, she chuckles, shaking her head.
[break][break]
”Do you really need someone to invite you?”
[break][break]
But, she knows why he’s saying it, just like she knows why she asked in the first place. There’s a sigh, and through the reflection, she meets his gaze once again.
[break][break]
”Wanna go with me, then?”

he doesn't really need someone to invite him, no, but they both know why he said what he said.[break][break]

and he's glad that she asks.[break][break]

"it's a date."

To be fair, Lia had wanted to ask before, but she hadn’t know if she should, given how complicated and weird things can be between them sometimes. Even now, perhaps asking may not have been a good decision at all, but she still can’t help but smile at his response.
[break][break]
’It’s a date.’
[break][break]
A proper one, this time.
[break][break]
”Alright. Looking forward to it, then.”
[break][break]
She really is, honestly.
