Me: I don't have much to say this time so read review and most importantly enjoy.
Renamon: I have something to say.
Me: SHUT UP.
Chapter 7 *updated march 2020
"Come on let's get outta here." I sighed impatiently.
"One moment, I'm still getting used to the clothes-thing." Renamon grumbled clearly having trouble putting them on. This is taking much longer than I thought, but hey it'll be worth it (if I can get the world to believe. that she is human of course).
"I thought you already knew how to put clothes on." I stated recalling her actions from yesterday.
"Yeah but it took me a long time just to get the stupid thing on." She groaned as she struggled to put on a pair of jeans. "You need a hand there?" I finally asked. Rena blushed a bright red and nodded quickly as I grabbed hold of the jeans. Now it was my turn to blush because I just realized what I was doing and how awkward it seemed. I had to hide her tail... and I know enough to say that's probably the most private area for any animal or in her case a furry. My blush grew as I held her tail gently and began to tuck in her tail in her jeans to the best of my ability. Once I felt that it wasnt noticable I stopped.
I guess the jeans fit her okay except the fact that they hug her form a bit tightly. Ignoring my doubt I helped her slip on a sweater to the best of my ability.
"T-thanks." She practically whispered with a blush as I let go..
"N-no problem." I answered hiding my embarrassment.
"Awkward..."
She then slipped on a pair of boots and put on the Samus helmet I lent her as we left the house. "So can you tell me what a comic shop is now?" She asked. "Her voice sounds so cute and not to-Wait what? Where did that come from?" I thought.
I immediately shook the thought out of my head.
"A comic shop is a place where people like myself who come to buy books and other merchandise." I answered dryly as we continued walking towards a bus stop.
"Oh." She said quietly.
*SMACK*
"Owww." She whined after she walked smack into pole. "Stupid thing." She muttered as she adjusted helmet. Hey it is a helmet but doesn't have much durability. bus came after a couple of minutes and by the look of Renamon's face she was terrified. "You okay?" I asked. "I-I'm fine." She lied. We walked in (paid our fee) and began our not that interesting ride to the the comic shop which is conveniently located at the mall.
Yay?
15 minutes later...
I cannot explain the sheer amount of terror Renamon had on the bus she was practically latched on to me, shivering as if the bus was about to flip over. Depite a couple of odd glances people didnt say anything during our ride much to my suprise. We walked into the mall receiving a couple of puzzled looks here and there but people managed to buy it.
We then entered the shop and honestly the place seems like heaven for a guy like me. In the front of the shop there's a crap load of new and old comics and there's an arcade located in the back. the sides of the wall are filled with vintage figures, art, and retro games
"Yo' Mike." A voice called.
"Oh shit its Zack" I mutter. Out of all the times I bump into him it just had to be now. "Whats up?" I greeted casually. "Who's the girl?" He asked. I got nervous I couldn't think of a name. "My names Rena." She answered for me as she held out her hand to Zack. "Nice to meet you... By the way are you two dating or something?" He asked bluntly as he shook her hand.
I froze, of course he'd immediately think about that
"Why is it that he always have to bring up that kind of stuff when I bring along a girl?"
"N-no." She stuttered though a part of me thinks she had more to say, but what do I know? Zack just laughed it off and pulled me aside. "Dude you're not fooling me, but seriously how did you get a chick with that nice of a bod-"
I whacked him upside the head
"This is a really awkward conversation considering the fact that we're different species" I thought to myself.
"Really!? And yet you wonder why I have no female friends." I stated in annoyance.
I noticed Renamon begin to shuffle nervously.
"Heh sorry, anyways did you finally finish collecting Avengers versus X-men?" He asked changing the subject.
"No im still missing issues some tie in issues with New Avengers, why?"
"Well I guess that means I win"
"Your kidding right?"
"Nope"
"You spent over 300$ on Civil War comics"
"Painfully" Zack replied as he showed me a selfie with a majority of the issues on display.
"first appearence of Iron spider costed me 200 alone" He added
"God damn it" I sighed as handed him a twenty.
"Should of ordered online!"
"THAT TAKES AWAY THE MAGIC!" I defended.
"What are you guys talking about?" Renamon or should I say Rena asked.
"Zack and I had a little wager whoever could complete a event comic colection tie in issues included would owe the other person 20$"
"... What?"
"You probably wouldn't understand unless if I gave you at least a week to learn." I stated.
"Oh I understand." She said in a somewhat sad tone.
"Don't feel too bad it took us about a year just to understand the basics of the Marvel Universe." I said. She just gave us both a puzzled look causing both Zack and I to sigh in defeat. "Never mind." I said.
"Eh they cant all be perfect" Zack chuckled.
I walked to a rack full of comics searching for the recent spiderman issue. After a little bit of searching I found it, I quickly ran up to the register quickly to pay and noticed that Rena had some stuff in her hand. "Is it okay if I get these?" She asked in a really shy manner. In her hands she had a Marvel encyclopedia (I guess she really wants know about it) and a necklace of captain marvels logo which I gotta say looked very nice.
"Um, sure why not." I agreed happily. Not a lot of people like comics nowadays the only reason this place is still standing is because of the arcade in the back. The man on the stand scanned them all and the price came...
$60.00
Aw crap.
I nearly fainted, sure I have enough but it's going to make a big dent in my savings especially since I dont have a job. I ended up paying for it all (it's her first time here after all) causing her to hug me tightly.
"Thank you." She replied sweetly.
"Not your girlfriend my ass" Zack teased with a smirk. "For the last time she isn't, she's just a friend nothing more." I sighed in annoyance. "Right" He responded sarcastically causing me groan. "Even if she isn't, I can tell you like her."
"No I don't." I stated without any hesitation nor emotion.
Rena shoved me away from her and she began running away to the outskirts of the mall. "Rena wait!" I shouted but I wasn't fast enough, she ran out of sight. "Way to go Romeo." Zack thought aloud. "Will you shut up already!? Why is it you always have to do this to me!" I spat coldly as I began to run after her.
"And to think thibgs were going so well" I muttered to myself as I continued to run.
To be continued...
