22 Clothing and Feelings

Inside the clothing store:

"How many clothes..."

"Well, it's a clothing store"

"I know. But I didn't expect so much"

'Apart from the fact that it's large, it has two floors...'

"We don't have much money, so let's choose something cheap"

I follow Elin through the aisles of the store.

We stop.

"This is the casual clothes section. Most are cheap, so you can choose almost anything"

"Okay"

We start looking.

'All the clothes are very simple, but it's not bad'

'How cute is this shirt! It has a kitty! This one has a bunny!'

Elin, smiling, observes my emotion.

'I can't decide!'

"It seems you're having fun"

"Oh I'm sorry. I got carried away"

"It doesn't matter, you look very cute making those expressions"

'...'

"Tha- thanks..."

"But do you think those clothes are good?"

"Is it very large?"

"I think it's very small... What are your sizes?"

"Hmmm..."

"You don't know, do you?"

"No…"

"Well, you can go to the fitting rooms. They're over there"

Elin points to them.

"Sure. I still have to choose pants and... underwear..."

"Don't worry, the guys are in the arcade, so take your time"

'I'll look for long and short pants. A skirt wouldn't be bad either'

After a few minutes, I finally finish choosing.

'I should try all this before continuing. But before that…'

I approach to the underwear.

'I'll try to hide from Elin'

I'm looking for something normal among all the underwear.

'This is very cute. This is very striking... Wow! This is too much ...'

While I hold the underwear, Elin approaches stealthily:

"I never thought you were so daring"

"Hey! I was just watching it!"

"You don't have to hide anything. Tell me, who is it?"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"If you are going to choose something so daring, there has to be someone special"

"That's not it! I already told you I was just watching!"

"I know, I just like teasing you" she lets out an evil giggle.

'I swear...'

"It seems you already have everything" Elin says.

"Yes. I'll go to try it on me"

"I'm going with you"

We go together to the fitting rooms.

"Hey, could you wait here? It's just... I don't feel secure doing this in a public place..."

"Come on, it's not a public place. But okay, I'll watch out here while you change" she smiles at me.

"Your smile gives me much less confidence..."

"Come on, don't be so suspicious"

She pushes me inside the fitting room.

"I'll start to take my- I mean, your clothes" I say to Elin.

"Okay"

I finish taking off my clothes.

"Done. Now I'm going to try on the clothes"

...

'She doesn't respond. I knew she was up to something. Well, I'll do it fast'

I put on the clothes I chose.

'Hmmm... It's very tight from above. What a shame, I loved this shirt... At least the pants are fine. By the way…'

"Elin? Are you there?"

...

'Damn you. Well, I'll take this off quickly'

I finish taking off my clothes.

'I shouldn't do this, but... Ugh, I'll do it at the speed of light'

As soon as I start take off my bra:

"Hello! I'm back!"

Elin enters the fitting room in an instant.

I hold my bra.

"What the fuck! Ah... it's you... You scared me! I was taking off... What is that?"

"This? It's lingerie. It's not that I'm going to buy it, but I want to try it on. I also brought for you"

"What? No way! I will not wear that!"

"Pleaseeee!"

"Not"

"Aw... I really wanted to see you with it. Well, I already expected that answer. How are your clothes?"

"You were right. I'll have to choose something a little bigger. The pants are fine though"

"Speaking of which, I hadn't had the opportunity to see back there yet. It's not bad either-"

"Hey! Stop looking at me like that! "

I cover myself as much as I can.

"Too bad I can't see your abdomen because of the bandage..."

"..."

"Haha! Calm down. To be honest, I envy you a little... How about the underwear?"

"I was just about to try it on when you came in..."

"Oops, I'm sorry. But since you didn't want to try what I brought you, I will not let you see me in my underwear"

"That is unfair! You're seeing me in my underwear right now!"

"Life can be very unfair-"

I throw myself at her.

"Hey! What are you doing!" Elin is surprised.

"Take off your clothes!"

"Calm down! You're going to torn it apart!"

I grab part of her pants and pull them down.

"..."

"..."

"Hey, even if you were upset, that was too aggressive. You could've take off my panties too"

'It looks she is really annoyed...'

"I- I'm sorry... I got carried away..."

"Well, since we're here..."

She takes off her remaining clothes.

"Done. Now- Hey! If you're going to force me to this, at least have the decency to see me!"

I'm looking in another direction, avoiding seeing her.

'I'd already seen her in her underwear, but now I'll have to see her-'

"Alex!"

"Fine…"

I turn slowly.

"..."

"..."

*heartbeat*

*heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat*

*heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat*

'My heart…'

"Aren't you go- going to say anything?" Elin asks, embarrassed.

"What? Oh... of- of course..."

'Nothing comes to my mind!'

*heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat*

'At this rate... Think! I have to tell her something...'

"Uh... You have... uh... a very... cute body..."

'Great! I said something'

"Really?" Elin says, disappointed.

'What? Now she seems sad...'

"You're good?"

"Yes. Let's finish trying on the clothes..." she smiles forcefully.

'I said something wrong?'

While Elin tries on the clothes she chose, I put on Elin's clothes again.

"Now I have a better idea of ​​my size. I'll go find other things"

"Yes…"

'She is really discouraged...'

I leave the fitting rooms and I go look for more clothes.

While choosing clothes:

'But I didn't say anything bad... It would have been worse if I said that her body is ugly... But it's very nice, I almost had a heart attack when I saw it...'

I finish choosing.

'I'm sure this will fit me, but I'll still try it on'

I return to the fitting rooms.

'I'll enter another. I want to try on the underwear...'

I enter the next fitting room.

Quickly, I try on my clothes.

'Well, the underwear is fine-'

*curtain sliding*

'Hm? It seems that Elin has already finished'

"Elin, I'll be out in a minute, I'm finishing trying on-"

Elin enters my fitting room.

"Again-? Oh no…"

Elin is in lingerie.

*heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat* *heartbeat*

'Now she's going to kill me! I feel my body is burning...'

"G- good. Now what do you think?"

'Shit. Not again…'

"Do I still look cute?"

"Well, yeah-"

As soon as I say it, she leaves the fitting room.

'I said something bad again, isn't it? Ugh...'

I keep putting on the clothes.

'I really don't understand what she wants... Does she want me to tell her that she is ugly? That would be very strange'

I leave the fitting.

Elin is waiting in front of them.

"Elin, are you okay?"

"I already told you, I am. Let's pay-"

I stop her, holding her by the arm.

"Do you remember what we said at home?" I ask.

"..."

"We have to communicate better. Say what we feel"

"Fine…"

"Thank you"

'It went better than I expected'

"I ... I don't know what's up with me either..."

'Are you serious!?'

"When you said my body was... cute... I do n't know. I think I expected something more..."

'Oh, so that was it...'

"I'm sorry if it looks like I'm looking-"

I hold her hand.

Elin is surprised.

"Alex?"

"Elin... You didn't see how I was!? I was literally emitting off smoke! I almost lost consciousness. My heart almost explodes"

"Alex..."

"Elin, your body is... is very se- sexy..."

'Done. I said it'

Elin does her most sincere smile.

'I've never seen her smile like that...'

"Thank you very much Alex! I know it was very selfish of me..."

"No, it's not like that. I hadn't said it because I was very distracted. I understand you, although I wouldn't do that"

"Now, stop acting and tell me what you did with Alexandria"

"Believe me, I will not do this again in a long time"

"Is that a challenge? Well, let's pay for all this"

"See? You said what you felt and everything ended perfectly"

"Yes. You're right. Thank you"
