Clothes shopping with Kaito was ... kinda weird.
She knew from other couples that clothes shopping always was problematic. It almost seemed to be a natural law like it seemed impossible for Kudo-kun to survive a week without running into a corpse. Or like it seemed impossible for Hakuba-kun to survive a minute without his pocket watch.
But the problems she had to deal with when she went clothes shopping with Kaito were very different from the problems normal couples had. She wouldn't say that she was totally dumb in the matter of beauty and fashion, but it was an infuriating fact that Kaito knew much more about it than her, being a disguise artist since childhood. He knew which colors suited her best, he knew which make up would emphasize her features without looking too flashy, he even knew how to walk gracefully on stilettos while she couldn't withstand ten steps with them.
It really was infuriating, but after a while she just resigned and let Kaito choose the clothes for her. That worked out well until he decided to pick her underwear, too.
"Kaito, no!"
"But-"
"No! Just no!"
"Why?"
"It's a thong!"
"What's your problem with thongs?"
"I don't like them!"
"Ah, Aoko, you're just shy and inexperienced-"
"Shut up! I won't discuss with you here, I said no and that's it!"
"Why don't you just try it? Come on, do it for me~"
"No, and- holy shit! That's the price?"
"Well, it's silk. Silk isn't cheap."
"Another reason not to buy it. We don't have enough money ... and don't look like that!"
"Oi, I didn't plan to steal it, if you thought that!"
"Then what did you plan?"
"Going to a casino and winning enough money to buy the thong ... and a fitting dress."
