Ianto kept letting his eyes wander as he waited for Angel to appear with the latest gown she wanted to try on. The tulle was calling him and he couldn't stand it, finally walking over to look at the ball gown in a deep rose red, the hem dipped in black so it seemed to bleed up into the fabric.
It was soooo pretty.
He knew he had to try it on, it was even his size. He whispered to the saleslady who rolled her eyes as she raced to get some bling she knew would suit it with his uniquely pert waist and lovely curvy arse.
Ianto chose a wig from the display and went into a room to try it on, Angel coming out to squeal as she saw Ianto emerging at the same time in a long dark wig and the dress, his pout epic as he sashayed around the shop. Of course… Angel's mother was a bit shocked but Ianto didn't care.
"Oh Grandy!" Maisey sighed softly "you are pretty!"
"So are you sweet cheeks" Ianto's alter ego winked and giggled, swanking about before heading back to the fitting room "Veronica love, I will take it!"
"Yes Sir" she called excitedly as she raced for a gown bag and the correct size … yes… she knows his size… excited to also get the pale blue version to show him. Then she returned with also a white number that had the yellow bleeding up. Deep yellow at the bottom paler and paler until it disappeared before the waist.
"MINEEEEEE" Angel screamed, her hands clasped together "TADDY … MY DRESS!"
Ianto peeked out, his shirt still unbuttoned to look and smiled "Oh Angel live. You like the yellows? Well … it will match the sunflowers in your bouquets I guess. That one love?"
"Oh Taddy" she sighed softy now, totally in love and Ianto whispered the measurements to the saleswoman who nodded.
She went out back and returned with a spreader, an extra piece of fabric for the back of the sample dress so Angel could try it on with it not mattering that it ws going to be too small for her solid body. Ianto knew they would be kind and as she stood looking at herself you would never know there was a gap at the back, the clips holding it all in place like it was perfect.
"Wow. Look at you. A pretty crown … some flowers… all you need are the shoes" Ianto smiled.
"Oh, I have those. My yellow converse" she said without looking away from herself "Toninator is wearing his white ones. Maybe he needs yellow too. We should match."
"I will add that to the list, I will get him a pair before we leave the mall we will go to next for a shopping snack darling" he crooned and she grinned wider.
"More food? Honestly…."
Ianto's eyes slid to her mother and they held her gaze for a moment before she looked away with a blush.
Of course.
This was not her day.
It was all about the Angel.
