Is he your boyfriend?
WARNING! GAY INSAULTS! WARNING! SKIP THIS CHAPTER IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THIS!
He had weird paintings over both his arms, his hair was spiky, straight down the middle and bald on both sides. It was colored in several bright colors, but the weirdest thing about his appearance was his ears, they had gauges in them. Mikori walked up to the guy at the desk and handed him the money she owed him for the items. As she was about to leave he grabbed her by her shoulder.
"Would you please let go of my shoulder?" Mikori asked him.
"Oh uh sure, I just wanted to ask you something." He began as a blush filled his cheeks.
"What?" She asked.
"I.. was uh... um.. wondering if you know, if your friend is... gay?" He asked as my mouth dropped and my eyes popped wide open.
"Um, I don't think so, but you're more than welcome to ask him." She said with a nervous fake smile.
After Mikori and that weird-looking guy were done talking, they both walked over towards Routama. He, however, noticed she looked as if she was on the verge of laughing her ass off.
"Routama, this um... guy... wants to ask you a question," She said smirking, as she tried not to laugh. Routama's eyebrow was raised, slightly as the human male approached him.
"Uh... um I-I w-was wanting t-to know I-if you might be u-u-um g- g- g- g- gay?" The human asked with an extremely visible blush across his face. Routama's eyes widened in surprise, but after hearing Mikori's laughter he was in pure anger.
"WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU THINK I WAS GAY?!" He yelled as red began seeping into his eyes, at the weird-looking guy in front of him.
"I-I just t-thought..." He spoke as he glanced at Mikori, who was whipping tears of laughter out of her eyes.
"T-that you l-let her, uh- um buy your clothes tha-" Routama cut him off right there.
"I LET HER BUY MY CLOTHES BECAUSE... of other reasons... BUT I'M NOT GAY!" He yelled, growling at the male, as he gave him a death glare and I left with Mikori.
They had left the mall and she was now leading him towards the local library, on the way there he noticed the red, yellow, and green lights on some sort of strange pole and the cars would stop and go accordingly.
"Mikori, what are those strange lights on a pole, for?" He asked pointing at one. She looked to where he was pointing before she spoke.
"Those are called street lights, which tell people who are driving that they have to stop, go, or go slowly." She giggled.
"Oh, there's the library!" She said excitedly, pointing at a building straight ahead of them.
Routama followed behind her as she walked into the huge, yet strange looking building. Walking in he saw that there were weird-looking scrolls along all the walls from top to bottom and on every shelf. His eyes were wide in awe. Mikori turned to face him. She smiled.
"What kind of books do you like to read?" She asked.
"Books?" Routama questioned, to him it felt weird coming off his tongue.
"Yeah, umm... wait here for a second," Mikori said as she left in search of something. She soon returned with one of those weird looking scrolls.
"This is a book, this specific book is called Beauty And The Beast. It's about how a girl named Belle breaks the spell upon a prince, by teaching him how to love" she explained.
"May I read it?" Routama asked. She smiled and nodded as she handed it over to him.

Routama felt someone approach the girl. He simply thought she was a threat, due to her facial expression, it showed pure anger towards Mikori, it just didn't sit well with him or his beast. When the woman who wore a long ugly Grey dress came up and touched Mikori's shoulder, he slammed the book in his clawed hand shut and grabbed her arm causing her to scream. Mikori felt someone touch her shoulder, but before she could turn around the hand was ripped away and the person was screaming in pain.
That was when she turned her attention to the scream and turned to face the lady. She saw that Routama was holding her hand so tight, that soon it would break if she didn't think of a way to get him to let go.
"Routama?!" Mikori yelled in surprise.
"Why are you hurting her?" She asked with worry in her voice, not for herself or him, but for the poor girl in his grasp.
"This Routama, saw her grab your shoulder. And I won't allow her or anyone to harm you," He said obviously not noticing his confession, unfortunately for him neither did Mikori. Still a bit mad Mikori pulled her attention towards the woman in his grasp.
"Why did you grab my shoulder, cause, to be honest here I do remember someone touching my shoulder?" She asked the woman.
"I was... trying to get... your attention... but you were so... focused with... your book... you didn't even... notice me talking... to you or him..." She said panting in pain.
"Oh... what were you trying to say?" Mikori asked her as Routama let her go.
"I was gonna tell you the library is closed and you have to leave now," The woman said with a shaky voice.
"Oh, we'll leave immediately then, I'm so sorry," She said as she put the books back and was about to leave.
"So I- is he l- l- like your boyfriend or something like that?" she asked Mikori with a blush. Mikori looked at her with wide eyes and then looked up at Routama and blushed as she spoke.
"No, we're just friends." She faked a smile as they left.
"Oh..in that case..." She said as she turned to face and press her body against Routama.
"Why not ditch the friendly girl, and have an enjoyable afternoon with a freaky woman." Just watching her made Mikori's blood boil.
