Colonnello had handed her her glasses case this morning and she had pouted. She knew she shouldn't wear her contact lenses constantly but it didn't change that it was so much easier, still she relented and put them on.

It was kinda weird to see herself with her glasses again. A weird reminder of her old self but she shrugged it off. She was in the present now and would force herself to not think about it, instead focusing on the fact that she still wore the same model like her father. She had never been able to choose anything else but round glasses because of that.

They made their way down to the kitchen, they now switched between breakfast duties. She still did the majority of lunches and dinners, same as back then but she had grown to like sleeping a little longer, same as it was kinda hard to stand up when Nello's hugs were just that comfortable.

Fon stared at her in astonishment "You wear glasses?"

"Yeah?"

The rest of the group mustered her a bit longer.

Nello grinned, already pulling the coffee pot closer "Her eyesight is terrible. Honestly you can hold your hands directly in front of her face and she can barely even tell you if you hold your fingers up at all. She's just insanely blind, kora."

She nudged him in the ribs but took up her own mug.

Fon raised an eyebrow "really?"

"Yeah, kora." Colonello just pulled off her glasses, ignoring her pout and handed them to Fon to let him see "Look. Can you see anything through them? I can't."

Leilani was still pouting but looked up in the direction where she knew Reborn sat, tilting her head slightly "You know what, Senpai?"

"What?"

"You look way better like this."

The rain laughed out as he got her glasses back to place it on her nose "Better now?"

Leilani shook her head, sighing dramatically "Now you made Senpai ugly again."

The hitman raised an eyebrow "Really?"

"Yeah."

"I don't believe you."

"You do you Mr. okayest hitman. I see you had no luck yet?"

Fon snorted but quickly hid his amusement behind his mug.

Reborn raised an eyebrow "At least I've got a fashion sense. Does your wardrobe only hold motorcycle suits?"

"Well… I've got a knitted sweater? And pyjamas.. well I had. Just started to steal Nello's t-shirts, they are more comfy."

"You really have nothing else?"

"No?"

"Don't you want to clean yourself up once in a while? Wear a skirt? A dress? Something more fitting for the weather?"

Leilani shrugged "I mean… well… I pretended to be a guy? Why would I have needed to?"

"But you want to?"

Leilani wrinkled her nose in contemplation "I… haven't thought about that?"

"Alright, we're doing online shopping today."

"We are?"

"Yes."

"Wait… does that mean you pay?"

"Indeed."

"Why?"

"Because I can't let you walk around like this or risk you fainting because of a heatstroke."

"Hey! I'm not that feint."

"You Are tiny, Skull. I don't want to know how easily you faint with that body weight."

She wrinkled her nose and stuck out her tongue but she didn't protest any longer.

After breakfast she had found herself on the couch, Reborns laptop in front of her and the hitman next to her.

Reborn looked at her "What would you like? Any style in mind? Or do you still want to keep up this fake punk aesthetic?"

She struck out her tongue again "Hey, that was super genius, alright? I've got many fans through that."

"Sure, sure. So what do you want?"

"Something comfy."

"That's not a style."

"Well excuse me I never really bought clothes besides the suits. What do you expect?"

"Never?"

"I wore hand-me-downs from my cousin and well, my school uniform. At the circus I got hand me downs again and well… my suits."

"So you've got no idea at all?"

"I like… colour?"

Fon had stood behind the backrest, leaning down slightly "Maybe something playful? Relaxed? Unconventional? Bold?"

Reborn leaned back, mustering the sky in front of him before opening a few tabs with boho inspired clothes and with a second glance at Colonnello he opened up another with more country styled clothes "That to your liking?"

Leilani leaned forwards, carefully watching the screen before nodding "Yeah… just… I've got no clue what my actual sizes are."

Reborn smirked and turned towards her again, giving her an once over only to just name her measurements. Even worse, Fon nodded immediately.

Leilani instantl crossed her arms in front of her chest and crawled onto Colonnello "Creepy!"

The hitman chuckled, "It's a skill."

"No, it's perverted."

As Nello only laughed she climbed further, jumping off the couch and weaselling her way next to Lal.

The former soldier had to laugh at that, especially as Leilani leaned closer to her "We have to protect our virtue. We should lock ourselves in. Reborn might run wild and I don't trust Fon either."

Lal had to chuckle "never had that problem before?"

"I mean sure Reborn stalked me before but… my measurements? Creepy stalker alert. Really Lal, we should run away.'' She earnestly looked up at the female rain but the slight twinkle in the sky's eyes made it clear that she was actually amused by all of this.

"True. We should."

Leilani nodded vigorously "Indeed."

"But I have to disappoint you. Viper would know where I am."

"So I have to run away alone?"

"Exactly."

Leilani pouted "That's no fun. Viper ruins everything and you guys wonder why I won't give you my name."

Colonnello had stood up, just snatching her up by her waist and carrying her back to her original spot even while the sky still pouted. "Skull, kora. You need clothes."

"Are you giving me back to the creeper?"

He laughed "I'm gonna be next to you. Reborn can't attempt to steal your 'virtue' like that."

"So like a knight in shining armour?"

"I'm sure I can find armour somewhere."

Leilani laughed, "You would look dashing."

"I sure hope so but first we focus on you."

"Boring. Armour shopping seems more fun."

Honestly most of the day was spent on the mission to find Leilani clothes. She had even capped out at one point, just letting her head fall on Colonnellos lap while he, Reborn and even Fon were discussing.

Why it was that important…she didn't really get it but in doubt she always relied on Nello. Which did earn her a pair of cowboy boots.

She had no clue what they were actually buying anymore and most of the terms they, especially Reborn, were throwing around just plain and simple confused her. Colonnello didn't really have a clue either but he made it up with his enthusiasm.

She didn't even have a clue when it happened but in the end they apparently had ordered clothes. She had no clue what would arrive but… well it was clothes, nothing more and again no reason to make a fuss over it.

She had at one point even tried to get her switch, only for Reborn to take it away as she was supposed to 'concentrate' on this as it was 'important'.

She just nodded dutifully before concentrating on Nello's hand in her hair and the soft massage he gave her.

She didn't move from her spot, quite content with it actually until Nello nudged her up.

She slightly confused got up, having to throw her hair back again as most of it had again fallen completely in her face. She gave the fight up as soon as some of the curls bounced back.

Reborn looked at her amused, busy with filling a few glasses with liquor, extending one towards her.

She stared more than just confused at it before looking at his face and down again.

"You're not taking it?"

"But why?"

The hitman chuckled, "We haven't had time to celebrate yet."

"Celebrate?"

"We are curse free?"

"Oh… kinda forgot about that."

Fon laughed as he picked up his own glass "You forgot?"

"Yeah… I mean… I'm kinda taller… like… a bit."

"You're still a munchkin."

"A munchkin that can turn all your robes translucent. I'm pretty sure I can make them completely see through without you even noticing."

Fon chuckeld "If you want to see that go ahead."

Reborn meanwhile had pushed the glass in her hand.

Leilani still stared at it "But alcohol?"

Reborn raised an eyebrow "Naturally alcohol. It's not like we were able to drink before."

"But…" she stared at the amber liquid.

"But what?"

"I never had alcohol."

He paused "Never? Not even on your eighteenth birthday?"

"Obviously not. Never had it."

"Then it's time, isn't it?"

Leilani still stared contemplating at it "Maybe?"

"It is. The occasion definitely calls for it."

With that the whole group toasted to each other.

Leilani was still slightly hesitant but she took a sip only to have her face pulled in a grimace of disgust. "You drink that?"

Honestly all the arcobaleno just had to look at her face to start laughing.

Fon was already standing up again "I get the orange juice."

Leilani pushed her glass back on the table, still with the grimace on her face to Reborns great amusement as he casually sipped his own drink "So not just a babyface but similar taste buds?"

"Well if grown up taste buds are into this kind of disgusting thing then I at least understand why you got so many women."

Reborn raised his glass again "Careful Skull."

"Why? What you gonna do? Sulk while you drink your coffee tomorrow? Or drown your sorrows in alcohol now?"

The hitman flicked her nose before she could dodge.
