A/N: Inspired by going dress shopping with my mom.

079: Dress
He had no idea why this was blowing him away. It was beyond ridiculous – it was a dress for Christ's sake. No only that, it was black. Black's not even a real color – it's technically a shade.
But seeing Kaoru in that black dress just made his brain turn off, making him forget everything he had ever learned in art school. The way it clung to her waist made him want to hold her close for himself, to completely convince himself that the beauty before him was real.
The dress fell right above her knee, revealing her sculpted calves. He swallowed, forcing himself to look away. If he spent another moment admiring her, he knew they would be more than fifteen minutes late to this function they were supposed to attend.
"What are you staring at?" She asked amusedly, craning her neck over so her silky black hair shifted in the light, reflecting indigo. The small diamond studs in her ears brought out the internal shine in her eyes.
She never fully realized the effect she had on him.
"You look nice." He said, not being able to find the words to describe his feeling of awe.
She blushed. "Thanks."
A/N: 200 words exactly! I thought that was cool :) I also thought a short one was needed after the 20 page oneshot before.
Please review! It really doesn't take that much - just press the button and type in a few words about your thoughts. Most of you know that I respond to everything :)
