"Uwaah! There's so many people!"

"Tch! There's so many people!"

If you ask me, the cool air coming from the AC was indeed the best experience in the mall. This alone made the decision to brave the summer heat and go outside to be somewhat worth the effort. Of course this alone wasn't enough to make me forget that I was forced to leave the sanctuary of my room because my sister agreed to go out with Yuigahama and dragged me along.

"Oh! There they are!"

Spotting my club members, Komachi dragged me by the hand towards them. Yuigahama was wearing a blouse and short combo that was on the trend right now seeing that Komachi was wearing the same. If we compare the two of them, Komachi would naturally come out victorius while Yuigahama just looks like a bitchy high school girl. On the other hand, Yukinoshita was wearing a white sleeve-less dress and brown shorts that reached her knees.

"Yahallo! Yukino-san, Yui-san!"

"Yahallo! Komachi and Hikki!"

"Hello..."

Exchanging their greetings, Komachi abandoned me and approached Yuigahama. Sure, drag me along and leave when someone appears. Not cute Komachi, that's super low on points. I pocketed my hands and noticed Yukinoshita approaching me.

"I was sure only Komachi-san would arrive. So you even invited yourself in a girls hangout, Hiki-desperate-kun?"

"If you mean that I was dragged here then yes."

Maybe it was because I was more aware of her nowadays, and because of this that I noticed a change from Yukinoshita. Particularly revolving around her lips.

"You're wearing make up?"

Her pink and soft lips were dyed in a thin color of red, making them even more attractive than usual.

"Oh? So you've noticed?"

"Well... yeah."

It's really not that hard, especially that whenever I think of Yukinoshita, her lips were the first thing that comes in my mind. On the other hand, I was expecting her to make a comment about me being a creep for noticing that.

Smiling for some reason, Yukinoshita discreetly clenched her hand into a fist.

"My sister gifted me a lipstick and I simply thought to try it."

Oh so it was like that. I never really suspected that Yukinoshita was the type to buy stuffs like make up so it made sense that it came from her sister.

"Well Hikigaya-kun? What do you think?"

I could do nothing but freeze when she suddenly asked. I mean, she already looked gorgeous without doing anything and that the use of a lipstick simply added to her charm, but I just can't say something embarassing like that out in the open! Yukinoshita-san do remember that I am a loner with no prior experience in giving compliments to anyone.

"Well I uh-"

"Onii-chan! Stop flirting with Yukino-san and hurry up!"

Before I could even make a fool of myself, Komachi's shout grabbed our attention. Good job little sister! I'll definitely forgive you for abandoning your brother in an awkward situation!

"Yeah, yeah..."

Whenever I went to the mall, my first order of business would be to check the gaming section. After that the next stop would be the familiar bookstore for any new novels, and if I had some spare money left, I'd go and eat somewhere not expensive. Truly that was the best course for a loner like me.

Now though, I find myself once again being dragged by Komachi and Yuigahama in shops that I would normally not even consider entering. It seems like today I was fated to be separated from my usual hangout spots.

Oh joy...

As if to compete with stuff that only happens in anime, that where I got dragged was none other than a women's apparel store.

"Onii-chan quick, what do you think?"

Holding a flowery blouse over her, Komachi twirled. I had no idea about the opposite gender's fashion but anything looks good on Komachi!

"Yeah, pretty much anything looks good on you."

"Gah! That was pretty lame of you Onii-chan but Komachi shall accept!"

Running around to somewhere, Komachi disappeared only to be replaced by Yuihagama holding a pair of red heeled shoes.

"What do you think about these Hikki?"

When did I become a fashion consultant? As I said before, I had no idea so I said what naturally came in mind.

"I dunno about you, but Komachi would totally look good in them."

Nailed it.

"Hikki you jerk! Idiot, nincompoop, siscon!"

And with that, Yuigahama went to ask Komachi instead. Now I'm finally left alone in peace.

"Hikigaya-kun, you're a reprobate."

Or not.

Turning around, I saw Yukinoshita looking at me with arms crossed. Thankfully she wasn't holding any article of clothing that needed to be appraised by me.

"What?"

Yukinoshita sighed.

"I asked you something earlier didn't I?"

Crap...

Komachi, Yuigahama get back here! I'll be your fashion guru damnit!

Before I could even turn and escape, Yukinoshita's hand found the collar of my shirt, effectively preventing my escape.

"Truly nothing but a coward. Come, as your punishment you shall also share your thoughts about the clothes I picked."

Wait, you mean you actually went and pick something?!

Guh... not only it was rare, but I will admit that I really am interested in the girl that I've had a make out session with (several times) to model herself!

We stopped in front of a changing room. Completely different from other stalls where only a curtain would separate the the area where you change, this room had a door that can be locked inside.

I stopped outside like a gentleman to allow Yukinoshita her privacy while the girl herself picked two hanging clothes outside the changing room before turning to face me, her eyes scanning the whole department. This continued for several minutes and just when I was about to ask her what's wrong, Yukinoshita grabbed my hand and dragged me...

Inside the changing room.

Double crap...

The inside of the changing room was what you would expect. Cramped. Although there was enough space for two or three people, there wasn't a lot of space to move around.

I was also pretty sure I'd die of heart attack. I'm nineteen and I was gonna get cardiac.

"Yukinoshita what are you doing...?!"

"Be quiet Hikigaya-kun, the door is very thin."

"Who cares about the door...! Why did you drag me here...?!"

Hanging the clothes on the wall racks, I could see Yukinoshita's red face from the large mirror.

"Well... this is to ensure we won't get interrupted."

"Interrupted? Just what are you saying?"

"I think you have an idea."

Then Yukinoshita started to undress.

Whatever reply I had in mind didn't leave as my mouth shut at what I saw. Yukinoshita was currently unbuttoning her dress. Unlike when we were on school where she would undo the first few buttons just to let me see a peek of what she was wearing, this time it was completely different. Yukinoshita didn't stop at the third or even fourth, butttons, instead she went all the way.

And then it was done.

Yukinoshita divested herself of her top, standing in front of me with on her shorts and light blue brassiere. This wasn't the first time that I saw her underwear, but this was the first time I saw her with only her underwear. My eyes roamed to her unclothed body. She was like a porcelain doll. From her white, creamy skin, to her moderate sized chest and flat stomach my eyes completely drank her sight.

As hot blooded man it was completely normal that I can't look away from her, right?

"Oh my, did you always have that weird face?"

Placing her hands on her waist, which did unspeakable thing to me, Yukinoshita wore a self-satisfied smirk on her red face.

"So Hikigaya-kun. The same question... what do you think?"

"I... Yukinoshita you look beautiful."

Her eyes widened at my answer. What else can I say? People like being indirect whenever they say something. Using flowery language to get their point across. But that was something I greatly detest. I want the truth, I've always wanted honesty even if I can't be honest to myself. Especially because I can't be honest to myself and anyone. I also know that sometimes, you just got to say what you really want.

"You're beautiful. You're attractive. You're sexy... You're perfect."

There I've said it. Come on awkwardness, any moment now. Because if this continues, I might be unable to stop myself. I held my breathe as I desperately tried to calm my heart.

Then I heard her footsteps.

I raised my head and saw her beautiful face closing in on mine merely seconds before our lips touched.

Different from usual, Yukinoshita's lips were a little sticky as if a black hole sucking me into her. It took me a few seconds to realize what was happening before my hands reacted and rested on her naked waist. Her soft skin did nothing but made my excitement flare.

I needed air badly I didn't dare to back away from her and instead decided to be more agressive, raising one hand to raise her head, allowing me easier access to her lips. This was really happening right now. I didn't let myself get lost in the haze of confusion because I wanted to remember everything.

My tongue escaped my mouth, licking her lips in earnest. Her lips tasted like apple, maybe wearing a lipstick isn't that bad every now and then. She moaned in response and opened her mouth allowing me access.

The next thing I did was push her against the mirror, effectively pinning her and having my way with her mouth, without mercy I caresssed every crevice with my tongue, all while her hands pulled me closer to her form.

"G-goodness, you're a beast...!"

Stopping for air, Yukinoshita giggled while hugging me.

"It's your fault woman. You have no idea what you do to me."

In reponse to this, she just rubbed her cheeks on mine.

"I may have miscalculated this one a little bit."

It took me a great effort to separate myself from Yukinoshita. The fact that we were in a changing room inside a mall never left my mind. As much as I wanted to continue what we were doing, I dont want her to get in trouble.

"Ah, maybe I should leave now."

"No."

Before I could even get to the door, Yukinoshita held my hand.

"No?"

"Hikigaya-kun, you still haven't help me pick clothes."

Smiling devilishly, Yukinoshita flicked her hair back and gave a haughty look.

Honestly I'd never thought I'd be able to open this account ever again. Here's a tip for making a password from one idiot to another. Always stick to your original password and only change the last character to make sure that you'd never be able to open the said account again. Yeah because why would I try every letter on my password when the correct thing I should've done was trying a number!
