Prompt: Kimiko makes raimundo go bikini shopping with her because she "needs a guys opinion" (Submitted by anonymous on tumblr.)
Raimundo couldn't figure out why he had to go to the mall with Kimiko when she'd declared her need for a new swim suit. Omi and Clay surely could have gone with her—or, at the very least, kept him company as he waited for Kimiko to come out of the dressing room. Being the only guy in this section of the department store was a bit mortifying, to say the least.
...then again, Raimundo thought as one girl came out of her stall for her friend's opinion of the purple bikini she was trying on, maybe it wasn't so bad. He was jerked out of his thoughts when a familiar voice called his name, and he turned his head to address the speaker.
For a moment, Raimundo found that he couldn't speak, and so he just opted for staring at Kimiko as she stood at the door to her changing stall. When a full minute had passed, and Raimundo still hadn't said anything, Kimiko flushed uncomfortably. "Is it really that bad?" she asked, looking down at the jade green bikini she was wearing. "I knew this wasn't my color—I should've gone with the red one."
Now it was Raimundo's turn to flush as the mental image of Kimiko in a Bay Watch-esque swimsuit invaded his thoughts. It was a rather nice mental image, too. "No, no," he said, his voice oddly strained. "This looks good. I like it."
"Really?" She grinned. "Good—I've got a few other ones back here I want your opinion on, so just wait there." Kimiko disappeared back into the stall, and Raimundo stared at the spot she'd been moments before until he looked away, blushing faintly.
"Yeah, I'll wait," he said to no one in particular as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Take your time."
