week three | dates
You worked up your courage and asked someone out on a date! Good job!
Now you have to hope the producers are kind re: where they send you.

[ is this a date?? can this be considered a date?? is this another prank? he already had to cook burgers at a restaurant that wasn't even open yet and now he's in a lingerie store?! to Steve's credit, he's a mature-enough 17 year old boy to not immediately turn beet-red and flee at the sight of all these lacy undergarments. ]
You've got to be kidding me with this... Let's ask 'em to take us somewhere else.
no subject
Sorry, what the hell did you think I meant when I asked for a more "adult" kind of thing? This is the total wrong kind of mature! I meant--
[ ... ugh.
there's no point in harassing the staff that's come with them, so she releases the poor girl after some hushed conversation and returns to steve's side. ]
She said we can leave after we buy something, so let's just get-- I don't know, a baby doll. I've always wanted to have one.
[ they're so cute... and flowy... easy to wear to bed. ]
no subject
Uh, sure? [ he'll just... not mention it. yeah. ] You take the lead. I don't know how to tell the difference between all this stuff.
no subject
I'll teach you. It'll be good to know when you get a girlfriend.
[ when..................
okay. she's taking his hand. but this time it serves a purpose, because it's better to be seen as a couple in this kind of store than... not. ]
Those are just your regular bra and panty sets. Next to them is bodysuits. They're called that because they go over your whole body. Pretty sexy if you've got the curves to fill them out.
[ like
her, actually, don't think too long on it, ]
Baby dolls... are... this way, I think...? They're probably next to the camis, which I like a lot too -- they've got a kind of similar vibe.
[ loose fitting and flowy... sorry steve. so sorry. she's really being upfront about giving him a lesson, like he absolutely needs to know this. ]
no subject
anyway. Now he's being led around by the hand to look at some clothing ("clothing") that he's only ever really seen in dirty magazines. How did he end up here, really? With a girl with absolutely zero interest in him, as confirmed by her pointing out his lack of girlfriend?? He barely knows how he should be reacting to any of this right now. Or where he should be looking, honestly. ]
Wait ... Do girls actually like this stuff? I always figured you just wore it to impress us.
[ this is the best commentary he can muster while trying not to imagine claire/ritsuka/anna in any of the given styles she's pointing out to him. she seems to know a lot?! ]
no subject
Sure we do. I mean, both points. Sometimes you just wanna wear something that makes you feel sexy for you.
[ here they are. there's different styles of baby dolls too, and anna puts one hand on her hip as she stares at them.
... ]
Which... do you think would look good on me though, Steve-kun?
[ she
actually sounds a little shy now, hesitant and quiet. her cheeks are pink too. ]
no subject
Huh?!
[ THIS IS ON HIM SUDDENLY?! He very briefly glances at the camera with a deer-in-the-headlights look before looking back to Anna and the selection of lingerie in front of her. This is one of those trick questions, he's sure. There must be one she wants him to intuit somehow. But he's also struck by the possibility that - somehow - Will could find out about this, and... well, he's not really the type of guy to get mad, and he and Anna are kind of fighting right now anyway, but it's the principle of the thing! Her getting all shy suddenly doesn't help matters, either - like Steve's opinion actually holds some weight to her. ]
Uh, well... [ he rubs the back of his head, anxious. Should he just go with honesty, or will that make him a creep...? Even though she asked him directly? ] ... To tell you the truth? You'd look killer in any of these. You're really pretty.
[ embarrassing... he may not be making eye contact, but he means it! ]
But... blue or white would look good on you, I think.
no subject
... ... ...
so she's going to pick out a blue one-- oh no not that the chest isn't right. hold on. picking through... there we go. this one. ]
Okay. I'll be right back.
[ she wants to go try it on!!!!!!!!
which means he's left with the attendant. so. shopping with his girlfriend, huh, ]
no subject
[ there she goes... he's glancing around worriedly. She can't come out on television wearing one of those things!! Maybe he can body block the cameras and save her the embarrassment. He's happy enough to get to see a hot girl in lingerie, but he has to imagine she'd rather not have everyone see it.
Or maybe she's freaky like that. Steve can't say he'd be totally surprised, considering she's apparently enough of an exhibitionist to show him. Maybe he should have picked his favorite color instead of the ones he thought matched her... He gulps, then does his best to try and shoo the nearby cameramen away and guard the dressing room. If he can get the attendant to help, even better. ]
no subject
but. the attendant is sort of encouraging steve's protectiveness, yes, she'll also block, but he's definitely doing the heavy lifting here. which is fine, since a hand reaches out to tug steve's attention. ]
Hey. I need a guy's opinion. Don't think anything of it, okay?
no subject
You're asking for the impossible, lady.
[ how is he supposed to not think anything about it?! he's only a mortal man... one with a fatal zombie bug infection, but a mortal man nonetheless. Still, he can't help but glance over when Anna tugs at his sleeve - it's too much of a natural reaction for him to stop himself. ]
no subject
Well? Girl of your dreams, or girl of your dreams?
no subject
Damn, [ he says without thinking, although it may indeed be the most apt response. He kinda knew she had a great body, considering how she likes to hang out by the hot tub, but there's some indescribable difference between wearing a bathing suit and actual lingerie. She looks really good. Steve's adam's apple bobs as he swallows and isn't quite gentlemanly enough to look away. Whoops. ] Y -- yeah, no complaints here.
no subject
May it warm your cold and lonely nights, Steve-kun.
[ pityingly... but just a tease really, patting his back and then pulling the curtains shut again. ]
What do you wanna do after this? Grab lunch? I could use a bite to eat... ugh, but I bet this is gonna take up all our funds. It's a totally miserable amount, especially compared to what Dori-chan and I got for the mall.
[ maybe because
they had too much fun during it. and also every other time anna's gone out she's drained production's pockets on food. ]
no subject
You're teasing me, [ he responds, in a light-hearted sort of whine, before continuing. She has to be flirting on purpose - he might as well play along. ] What, did you guys get our budget restricted after a shopping spree? Better hope they don't bill you afterwards.
no subject
[ sounds good. don't worry about her uptown girl attitude... or the possible flirtations. anna doesn't register it unless she's purposely teasing someone. ]
Were you super popular before you kicked it?
no subject
[ lil rich girl over here!! ]
With girls, you mean? I dunno about super popular. Not everyone can handle me.
[ AKA he's annoying............ he's going to avoid mentioning that he's been in jail for [redacted] months and so hasn't had much of a chance to get back into the dating scene. ]
no subject
[ "sweet" is not the first word anyone would use for him, she's sure, but they also don't know he's a Romantic. ]
That bad boy attitude's all the rage too, isn't it? The kinda cute in your cockiness sort of thing... All while being the type of guy who'd put his coat over a box of abandoned puppies in the rain.
[ a finger is poking at his back. she's good. ]
