What the fuck was that chapter.

‎
It was somewhat of an excuse. While it wasn't a lie, it certainly wasn't what she wanted to do above all else. She just, needed any good reason to drive them both forward.

She didn't want to look just as clueless as he did.
She'd die from embarrassment.
‎

‎
Her finger pointing towards the star, then it would drag along the lines. Landing on a nearby book store. Thank god she researched beforehand...

" We'll take a look at the books first. There's... A new entry in, something, I like to read. And I want to pick it up. "
‎

‎
This pleasant feeling...
Butterflies in her stomach...

" That's fine. Here, this is what we'll do first, since it's the closest. "

She'd lead him over towards one of those stands that displayed a map of the mall. 'YOU ARE HERE' Pointing towards a star on the map.
‎

‎
" Well... I hope it's, a good first impression. "

Muttering back. She doesn't think she could handle staring at him while saying something like that, she'd lose her focus.

However, her gaze is drawn down towards their hands. Linked with his, as she led the way...
‎

‎
Of course he had never been to a place like this. She'd be surprised if he did, at least under these circumstances.

Maybe rampaging through the mall while in his Devil Form. That wouldn't be surprising in the slightest, not caring about where he was at all...
‎

‎
She kept her head held high, her hand squeezing his in return. Continuing her stride as they navigate through the mall.

She had never been to this one either, but she did research online. Saw photos, read reviews. She made sure to be ready.
‎

‎
He thought that she...

Was reliable?
‎

‎
Kill people

Kill people

14 BRO I'M COOKED
WHAT AM I DOING

serenacinno

These replies long as hell I'm so sorry
😭

‎
Something he might like...
‎

‎
Truthfully. She anticipated, but hoped, they would enjoy themselves so much today, that they would spend quite a lot on things to do or items to buy.

So, Yoru had collected her quite the amount to spend. Not just for her... For him, too. If she finds anything that is.
‎

‎
He must feel stupid for not thinking ahead...
Haha... Pays to prepared.

Ish...

" D-Does that sound good to you? "

Stuttering at the last moment as nerves catch up. She had brought her own money for today, feeling they might end up doing more costly activities.
‎

‎
" It's only Ten AM. I... Already had breakfast, and the food court doesn't serve lunch until Eleven Thirty. "

" So... We'll walk around and shop until then. Or maybe go to the arcade, or any other time waster here. Then we can eat and decide what to do next. "
‎

‎
She'd sigh softly, taking her own steps to replace him as the lead. If he didn't know what to do, then she'd take charge.

She... Might've done a little planning the night before, in an anxious hurry to appear as well kept-together as she could.
‎

‎
God knows she could say a lot. And Yoru would have some choice words of her own. But he seemed so happy, maybe it'd be best to let it slide.

Despite how, stupid, it may sound.

Following behind while processing everything, it's clear he has no idea where to go.
‎

‎
" H-Hey! "

However she didn't pull away. Instinctually grabbing his hand back, and even as she registers what they're doing. She chooses to keep it that way.

'Operation: Denji Best Date.'

...She could say a lot about that.
‎

‎
And it, made her feel flattered. That he cared enough to try. Meanwhile she was trying to push down the fact that she was admiring his own appearance...

He was certainly excitable today, more than she had seen in him in a while. Taking her hand so suddenly, catching her off guard.
‎

‎
So without any insults... Perhaps he really is just, admiring how she looked. The least she could say is she felt the same way...

She's never seen him look so... Well put-together. He didn't look awful all the time, but this was...

He clearly put in effort.
‎

‎
Perhaps it was Yoru's gradual influence that made her imagining him as flustered over her appearance as a 'Victory'.

But it felt good to think of something like that...
A little ego booster. She knows he can be painfully blunt at times...
‎

‎
Maybe he doesn't like it?
Maybe he thinks she looks stupid and doesn't want to say anything and end up hurting her feelings. Like she'd care.

Or maybe... Maybe he's so struck with emotions by her appearance that he's absolutely dumbfounded on what to say. Now that thought, she liked.
‎

‎
...Or rather the lack of anything said.

Her thought was very human, yes. But what was actually on her mind was... Really?! She dressed up as nicely as she could, bought the most expensive looking outfit that would fit her.

And he has nothing to say?!
‎

‎
So standing here like this, face to face, her gaze drawn upwards due to the difference in their height. The first thing on her mind felt...

Refreshing.

It had nothing to do with Devils. With War.
All that mattered was how she felt, what he said.
‎

‎
Lately, this experience has become far less often than she had ever wanted it to be. Their lives filled with nothing but chaos and mayhem.

Devils attacking left and right with no room to breathe. No time to just, live a normal life, and exist as they were. Who they used to be.
