"Nii-chan~! I want this one!" an excited young girl pointed at a clean cut blue one piece.
"A-ah but Ran, you don't know if it'll fit." A kind smile was given.
"Even so..." she looked down to the ground.
"It's okay though, let me get an employee, ne?" he smiled reassuringly and the girl's face lit up.
He led her to the waiting area outside the changing rooms before setting off to find someone. With the bathing suit, it only took a minute to find an unoccupied worker hanging bathing suits. He looked around Makoto's age.
"A-ano, can you help me with something?"
The teen turned and Makoto was floored at the teens height as well as his deep teal eyes. He's never seen a person who was taller than him much less a guy who was also around his age. The teen quirked an eyebrow at Makoto's gawking. Makoto could feel the heat rise to his cheeks as he took a step back.
"Yea, what's up?" The guys voice was deep and shook Makoto out of his embarrassment, just a bit.
"A-ah, well I have a bathing suit and I was wondering if I could get it in a smaller size." He held it up to show the worker.
The teal eyed teen quirked his eyebrows again in question.
Makoto waved his hands frantically, "Ah! It's for my little sister!"
The employee's eyes crinkled as he laughed,"Okay,okay. I'll go look in the back."
Makoto blushed "Mhm, thank you," he glances at his tag, "Yamazaki kun."
Yamazaki looked at Makoto and paused, "Call me Sousuke."
Makoto can't seem to catch a break, his cheeks must look like ripe strawberries. But he smiled a sweet smile none the less and agreed. 10 minutes later, Sousuke returned with multiple bathing suits including the blue one all in the right size.
He smirked and held the bathing suits like a prize, "Osu, where to next?"
Makoto smiled again and led him back to the changing rooms.
Ran jumped up when she saw them, "Nii-chan~!"
Sousuke bent down smiling and ruffled her hair before handing the many bathing suits to her.
He turned back to Makoto.
"Just call me over if you need anymore help, 'kay?
Makoto grunted absently, looking at the door waiting for Ran to come out.
Sousuke paused before moving closer, grabbing a pen on his shirt and Makoto's arm.
Makoto jumped but Sousuke's arm held strong. He scribbled something on Makoto's hand, smiled up at Makoto's flustered face and then walked coolly away.
The flustered brunette took a second to see the 10 digits scrawled on his hand before smiling his own smile.
